The "bottled high-ball" he explained, would not exceed 14 per cent alcohol, the maximum point of fermentation in wine. Senator Fess said he favors the Republican proposal to submit an amendment retaining power in congress to fix the conditions under which liquor would be sold and lhat congress is obligated to give the people an opportunity to vote on the question.

The Ohloan added, however, he was opposed to modification and did not believe It wou pass at this session. If beer is legalized and upheld by the supreme court, Fess said, he will vote for a tax on it. Representative Sabath 111.) a member of the house wet bloc said he would press for action on beer at the coming session but that he favored "a sane approach to the question and sane legislation."

Nov. 17. IP. The ninety-fifth annual general association of Baptists In Kentucky went on record her0 last night as favoring strict enforcement of the Volstead act and retention of the Eighteenth amendment. Glasgow was chosen as the 1933 convention city at the afternoon session yesterday.

The association voted to spend $12,000 next year In promoting the cause of the denomination's state, home and foreign mission program among the 2.023 Baptist churches In Kentucky. Recommendation was made that all employees of the general association be given the following reductions in salary based on salary received at the beginning of the associational year in December. 1931: All salaries of $2,500 or afbove be reduced fifteen percent, all below $2,500 to and including $1,200 be reduced ten percent and all under $1,200 be reduced five percent. A report on the Kentucky Baptist hospital at Louisville showed 2.680 patients admitted to the institution during the past year and $6,000 paid on bonded Indebtedness of the hospital, the present debt being $305,000. The convention closed at noon today.

The education society of the Kentucky Baptist association in session Wednesday afternoon heard reports that the five colleges and three academies In the state were having successful years. There is no plan of consolidation of any schools before the body at present but H. D. Johnson, of Louisville: president of the society, said in his report, "Our colleges and academies must find new and larger financial resources or continue ultimately as fewer Institutions." 1EPC33S Washington, Nov. 17.

Moves to legalize beer and submit repeal of the Eighteenth amendment at the December session of congress were the subject of continued discussion on Capitoi Hill. Plans were afoot among anti-prohlbitionists to organize soon to present a united front on beer legislation in the house. On the senate side. Senator Fess of Ohio, former Republican prohibition leader, said he saw no "real obstacles to pacing a repeal resolution at the short session." Representative Rainey of Illinois. Democratc floor leader, said he had ascertained that "considerable sentiment has developed for action on beer legislation at the coming session" and that he saw no objection.

"I will favor beer legislation at the coming session, although there is some doubt in my mind whether the swing to beer in the present congress is great enough to see it enacted," said. "Anyway, the new congress will pass it, and we might as well do it now. The treasury needs the revenue and the quicker we legalize the beer, the quicker we'll get revenue." Representative Celler N. who has been an advocate of beer for years, said in a statement: "There will undoubtedly be sufficient votes in the December congress, In both houses, to pass a beer and wine bill. The rebuke to the drys has been so severe, that even defeated having their eyes on the elections two years hence will be compelled to vote 'wet' in December." Celler said the proper group to handle repeal and beer legislation was the judiciary committee, of which he is a member.

"A vote for beer." he said, "automatically restores the present tax of $6 a barrel." The New Yorker estimated that with beer and light wines legalized revenue would be re Frankfort, Nov. 17. 0P Court costs In Laurel county were criticised by Nat B. Sewell, state inspector and examiner, In a report to Governor Laffoon yesterday. "Laurel, like only too many other "counties," the inspector said, "is suffering from a system of court management that has grown to dangerous proportions in various Judicial districts of the state.

I refer especially to the circuit court. Doubtless very few people would imagine that the cost to the taxpayers of the county and state of maintaining Laurel circuit court is close to $30,000 per year. 'For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1931," the inspector continued, "the cost of jury service alcne amounted to $13,359.10. For the year ending June 30, 1932, the cost of jury service was $12,900.34. In 1931, witness claims amounted $1,287 but, in 1932.

the amount of these claims jumped to $3,756.50. In 1931, the jailer was paid for dieting state prisoners and waiting upon the court, in addition to the amounts paid him by the county for janitor service and for dieting county prisoners. From Jan. 1, 1930, to Oct. 1, 1932, the jailer received from the state $it for furnishing fuel, light and water to the Laurel circuit court.

At the same time, the fiscal court was paying all. fuel, light and water bills." Criticising the practice of carrying through a court term throo or four petit juries, Sewell said, "about the only argument in favor of such practice is that it 'takes care of more friends and strengthens the political machine that has its home in about every court house of the state. However, in the long run, I can not put aside the belief that such practices, when carried far enough for the people to realize what they mean, will prove poor politics. "In the near future, I purpose to make a report upon the cost and management of the courts of the state, in which I am convinced, by the data already collected. It will be shown that the courts of the.
