Attacks on constitutional prohibition, begun In several states, apparently 'are not viewed with alarm by the reform forces.

After Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of wartime prohibition and the measures to enforce it, Wayne B. Wheejer. General Counsel of the "Anti-Saloon League of America, announced that the only question left on which the wets could make a fight was whether prohibition waa a proper subject for constitutional action and whether the amendment had been adopted legally. He contended there was no doubt on the subject. New Jersey officials, who searched State Department records of the ratification of the amendment, announced they had found no variations in language which would warrant attacking It.

Revenue Bureau in Charge. Enforcement of constitutional prohibition was lodged by Congress with the Bureau of Internal Revenue. which for years has been in close touch with distilling and brewing interests in the collection of excise taxes and active in running down "moonshiners." Evidence collected by the bureau will be iised In prosecutions, by the Department of Justice. Commissioner Daniel C. Roper has established an entirely separate division In the Bureau of Internal Revenue for the enforcement of prohibition, headed by John F.

At the time the constitutional amendment was submitted 24 of the 48 states and considerably more than half of the territorial United States had prohibition.

In states where prohibition was not state wide it had been adopted under local option laws by a number of communities. In addition to state laws there have been in effect stringent measures adopted by- Congress as aids toward winning the war, which gave a tremendous impetus to the prohibition movement.

Making- of beer and whisky waa stopped under the food control act and the sale of drinks was terminated at mid- night last June 30.

Shipment of -liquor into any states was prohibited by the bone-dry law. The constitutional amendment finally ww adopted by Congress December 18, 1917, with a restrictive clause, hitherto unknown in legislative pro cedure, that it would be inoperative! unless ratified within seven years. It required only 13 months. The vote in the House was 211 to 182, and in the Senate 65 to 20. Submission of the amendment to the states came at a time when many Legislatures were assembling.

SPECIAL IMrTCB TO THS EXQriBBK.

Chk-ago, January 16. Old John Barleycorn passed out at midnight, without much ceremony. The death march has been under way for days, but the line waa small and lafkln? In striking characteristics. Uncle Sam was the official undertaker and Old John was buried deep and weighted down with a grim, forbidding tombstone labeled "Eighteenth. Amendment." Numerous farewell celebrations were conducted in private homes and in certain chrbs, but in saloons, restaurants and hotels the event scarcely caused a ripple.

Two reasons are assigned for this apparent apathy, aside from the fact that the public generally has accepted prohibition and adjusted Itself to the. new conditions. One reason Is that the celebrants themselves were out on New Year's Eve and since have been thoroughly dis gusted with the whole business. Another and quite potent reason Is tho widespread fear of wood alcohol. Numerous deaths from this poison has thrown a stiff scare into all drinkers.

With nation-wide prohibition now an accomplished fact Detroit exhibited no indications of depression to-night.

The reason for this apparent apathy regarding a question so vital In other communities is little Windsor, a third of a mile away, across the Detroit River, the Canadian city which has three race tracks and liquor of all kinds. So long as the existing regulations governing the shipment of whisky anfl winea prevails in Ontario there Is gone dry. While the liquor is not sold across the bar there Is enough of It, so that no one really desires It has to go -unsatisfied. Detroit residents are "getting theirs" In Windsor and from Windsor.

SPSCIAL DMFATCa TO THE ZNQtTiaSB.

Washington, January 16. The Treas ury Department may, within a few days, ask Congress to enact legislation under which the entire supply of whisky In bonded warehouses, estimated at C9.000.000 gallons, will be taken over by the Government, part of It to be given to public "health hospitals and part set aside for aale to private hospitals. It is estimated that within a few year, the entire supply thus would be absorbed. The big question of what to do with the 68.000.000 gallons, probably half of which Is in Kentucky bonded warehouses, was discussed here to-day at a conference of prominent distillers, representing the National Distiller, and Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association. Those who attended were Joseph Debar, of Cincinnati, President of the National Association; George F.

Dleter-le. Cincinnati; Herman Cellariua, Cincinnati; Ed Gougherty, Philadelphia; D. K. Weskoft. New York; J.

W. Nay-lor. Buffalo, and A. J. Sun.tein, Pitta-burg.

It waa agreed that it would require an army bf men to guard liquor fnom theft, which was regarded as wholly impracticable. If the Government take, over the liquor It will condemn' It and will pay whatever price may be fixed by Congress. ONE DEFIES AMENDMENT. Half Per Cent Beer To Be Served, Sayg Massachusetts Dealer.
