Ration Is Patterned After British Findings; Wines 0. K'd WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. CP) A modification of the house of represen tatives beer bill was agreed upon to dny by a committee of senators,' to provide a 3.05 per cent brew instead of 3.2 per cent and also to alio wines. The house bill was drastically re written to make it air-tight against constitutional objections. The committee now will report to the full judiciary committee, which must pass on the proposition before it reaches the senate. The new alcoholic content repre sents 3.8 per cent by volume as com pared with the house figure of four per cent by volume. 3.03 Non-!ntoxlcatlng The committee attempted to remove constitutional objections by avoiding a definition of what constitutes an intoxicating beverage, but limiting the penalties of the Volstead act to those beverages above 3.05 per cent alco holic content. Senator Wolsh, Montana democrat, explained the sub-committee adopted this percentage because it had been arrived nt after a scientific study by a commission appointed by the British parliament as non-intoxicating. Tax Unchanged The language of the change in the new proposal, to limit penalties to beverage above 3.05 per cent, fol lows: "Nothing in the notional prohibition act as amended and supplemented shall apply to any of the following, or to any act or failure to act in re spect of any of the following con taining more than 3.05 per cent of alcohol by weight: Beer, ale. porter, wine, similar fermented malt or vin ous liquor, or fruit juices." The sub-committee left untouched the clause of the house bill, taxing beer at $5 a barrel, and it will apply to all the liquors permitted under the bill. Chairman Blaine, announcing the sub-committee's action, snid the new draft would be submitted to the full judiciary committer Mondny. BANK ROBBERS ESCAPE SALEM, Illinois, Jan. 13.

How ever, it will be built in the Bohemia country, presumably oq nie west side of the district. ' With the construction of this plant, the opening of Collins' mine and mines belonging to tho Jennings In terests in this district, prospects for considerable employment this spring worn seen by local mining people. The oil flotation plant for reduc ing ores enables the operator to ob tain 00 per cent of the value of the ore, Harlan declared.
