PUT CLAUSE DOESN'T APPLY TO Important Ruling Made On Volstead Liquor Law by U. S. Court DOUBLE IN MEANING Intent of Congress Not to Punish Householders for Making Their Own Beverage. (Assn-latrd Vress leas-4 Wire.) BALTIMORE. Nov. 11. In the trial of Representative John Phll- Id Hill in the United States court here today for alleged violations of the Volstead act, Judge Morris A. fioper ruled that the "one half of one percent,' clause In the Vol stead law does not apply to bever ages made in the home for home consumption. The Question was raised at yes terday's hearing of the case, when District Attorney Woodcock ob jected to a qnestion put to the first defense witness who admitt ed that he attended Mr. Hill's "elder party, but was not permit ted to state whether he had seen anvone Intoxicated. . The finding of Federal Judge Soper In the case of Representa tive John fhillp Hill at Baltimore today, Is regarded as necessitat ing a revision of the policies and regulations followed by the pro hibition commissioner. On the other hand, the ruling sustains the position taken by the department of justice four years ago in an opinion written by As sistant Attorney General Frierson and since followed by the depart ment. Attempts have been made by prohibition unit on several occas ions to obtain from the depart ment of Justice a reversal of the Frierson opinion but without avail, and the bureau of Internal revenue and the prohibition heads have chosen to continue the view that the one-half-of-one percent clause In the Volstead act applied to home-made fruit Juices. The opinion in the ease of the Maryland representative, the first of several decisions likely to re sult from questions raised by him, probablv will force an accord In the policies of the two agencies concerned with prohibition en forcement and prosecutions. Jndge Soper said: "Congress seems to have ued the word "non-Intoiicatlng dif ferently In one section than It dldi In another. To my mind congress plainly Intended that persons manufacturing cider and wine ex clusively for use In their homes should be In a class by themselves or otherwise there Is no apparent need for this section. (Section 28 " "The only reasonable legisla tion for consress slnellnf out home made cider and wine mak ers la that congress did not pun ish men for snch manufacture nn less the beverage Is Intoxicating in fact. "This Opinion seems to be by an opinion expressed In the I'nlt e State, . senate In September 1919 when the Volstead set was the cotriVce "o7.he j hill. He expressed the opinion when this section was srinert lo ' the hill by amendment that elder and fruit Juices made exclusively for use In the home must be lh toxlrstlng In fact." The ruling was the result of a lengthy argument yesterday by counsel for Hill and Unltd Ftates I district attorney Amos W . ooo- ( The government chemists te-tl- fi ik.t r-ninnt ItMI's home- ma. -ln. tti mn alrnhnltC COn- tent hirh as 11 pwfnt. t HI..', defense was based on the ej amKiciiii of section 29 of alleged ambiguity of section 29 of i I BREW E DAY IS FIE In Spite of' Drizzling Rain Procession Is Greatly Enjoyed.

I . . . . wwveeeeeee4e in spite of a ratn and drizzle which made it most disagreeable for spectators and marchers, the Armistice Day parade staeed hv Umpqua Post of the American Le gion this morning was a most suc cessful event In every particular. Nearly a mile and a half In length It truly typified the spirit of the day, and was interesting, inspiring anu amusing. The parade was led by the mar- snai ot the day, then the colors and band. There followed. lbe..Wo-; men a Heller corps, G. A. R., Span ibu American war veterans, na tional guard, and ex-service men and other patriotic organizations. The beautiful float entered by the auxiliary of the American Le gion was followed by the great host of school children, who marched In perfect formation. Ben son, Rose, Pullerton and high school were all represented. A flont was entered by the campfire girls. The drum corps and boys band also furnished music for the pa rade, as well as numerous small drum corps from the different schools. The Moose float followed the schools and boys' band, and then came the industrial section. The business and professional women's club was represented by the women and girls dressed In costumes representing their, pro fessions. The list Is too long to be enumerated, but there was a laugh In every entry, and those who mis sed the parade, failed to see one of the most humorous stunts pre sented for many years. Agnes Pitchford pushed e band' cart dis playing magazines carried in her newsstand. She was dressed in old maid costume and was a nAI knockout. The high school faculty was In caps and gowns. The tele phone operators carried the In struments of their professions. Stenographers were dressed as pencils, notebooks, etc. There were abstracts, plumbers, tires, and many others too numerous to mention. One of the Interesting en tries was an old assessment record carried by Mrs. Sawyer from the county treasurer's office. This was a record of the county in 1S.17 showing the tax levied In that year to be $1,009 50, while thlB year It Is over $1,300,000. Many of the busrness and com mercial houses of the city were represented by floats, and practi cally all of the automobile con cerns had new model cars In line.
