a quietus on May trading today.

The amendment was accepted After
an all afternoon fight to modify it. !
Before it becomes a law, however, tho
concurrence .of the house will be neces
sary. There was nothing tonight to
indicate the sentiment of the lower
branch on the question.
The text of the Cummins amend
ment follows:
Text of Amendment.
"That on and after September 1,
917, and during the period of the war
with the imperial government of Ger
many it shall be unlawful to use or
employ, directly or Indirectly, any
cereals, grain, sugar or syrups in the
production of intoxicating liquor in
any form or of any kind, provided,
however, that nothing in this section
shall be construed to prohibit the use
of such syrups for the manufacture
of wines as now provided under the
law, and It hs further provided that
this section shall not be construed to
make unlawful the manufacture of al
cohol or Intoxicating liquor for me
chanical, medicinal, sacramental or
scientific purposes under rules and
regulations to be prescribed by the
secretary of the treasury.
Phelan Saves Wins Industry.
-Violation of this section shall be
punished by a fine of not more than
$5000 or by imprisonment of not more
than three years or both."
Senator Phelan of California suc
ceeded in having the amendment modi-.
fled to prevent It. application to the
manufacture of wine. As Introduced
by Senator Cummins the amendment
would have prevented the use of any
kind of edible things in the manufac
ture oi aiconoiio liquors, out Senator
Phelan persuaded the senate to pro-
tect the wine making industry of his
state by striking out "edible thing3 '
and substituting "sugar and syrup.'
Senator Wadsworth of New York led
fight to amend the amendment to
exempt the manufacture of all except
spiritous liquors. He declared that
the amendment would ruin Important
industries. His amendment was de
feated, however, 42 to 31.
B6ne Dry, Measure Defeated.
Senator Gronna of North Dakota tried
to have a substitute accepted for the
Cummins amendment prohibiting the
use of every kind of foodstuffs in the
manufacture of alcohoL He declared !
that success In the War depended large
ly upon, the conservation of foodstuffs
and that any steps that were taken to
prevent waste were justified.
Senator Reed of Missouri, author of
the "bone dry" measure preventing the
shipment of liquor into dry states,
startled the senate by offering an
amendment absolutely forbidding the
