Liquor for
Medical Use
Restricted
Washington, May 28. In an effo.-t
to defeat the "indiscriminate sale" of
liquor on physicians prescriptions.
Commissioner Williams of the bureau
of Internal revenue issued a ruling
today limiting the number of permits
allowed each physician to 109 for
each three months, except with "good
cause."
The order makes it obligatory on
the part of the physicians to show
where the liquor has gone before
more prescription blanks will be is
ued by the bureau.
Officials -said that while expecting
a, "flood of protests" such an order
was "clearly within the administrat
ive provisions of the Volstead act."
"We believe that reputable physi
cians will not object to advising
agents of the government the nature
of their requirements when more than
100 perntits are needed for their re
quirements," Mr. Williams said. 'Pro
hibition agents," of course, must use

of the board to fix a minimum royalty

for the leasing of sand and gravel
rights in the beds of navigable streams
rhe proceeds to go to the credit of the
state's irreducible school fund, the
state land board, has fixed a minimum
price of ten cents per cubic yard.
The mandamus suit which will be
filed In the Oregon supreme court

Nary, attorney for the Salem Sand -Ciravel
company, will attack the right
of the board to fix a minimum price
on the commodity and Insist that the
highest bid submitted shall be accept

Should tho court uphold this conten

LATE BULLETINS

pending water power bill was approved today by the senate and
the measures now goes to the president. The vote was 45 to 21.
Washington, May 28. A resolution "viewing with grave
concern" conditions in Ireland and "expressing sympathy with the
aspirations of the Irish people for a government of their own
choice" was reported out today by the house foreign affairs com
mittee. The vote was 11 to 7.
Chicago, May 28. Apparently baseless reports that the
switchmen's strike had been settled gave a big tumble today to
values in the corn market. The most extreme setback was in the
July delivery, which at one time touched $1.62 and showed a fall
of 614 cents a bushel as compared with yesterday's finish. For a
short while, selling was unusually heavy.
