WILL A8K FOR NEW RULING

Washington, D.- C., June 15.—Attor
ney General Daugherty will be asked
for a new ruling on the question of
the sale of liquor on Shipping Board
vessels, it was indicated today at the
Treasury.
High treasury officials discussing
the matter today, said that although
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes had
not. submtted a request to Secretary
Mellon, that the Attorney General
would be asked to review the ruling
o’ former acting attorney general

request If It came from Haynes.
LASKER SAYS LIQUOR
SALES WILL CONTINUE
Washington, June 15.—Sale of
liquor on Shipping Board vessels at
sea will be continued, Chairman
Lasker reiterated last night, until
Supreme Court decision has been ren
dered holding such pratice illegal un
der the prohibition laws, or until he
“has been convinced of its illegality.
Mr. Lasker maintained throughout
the day he position taken by him in
his letter to Adolphus Busch, III, vice
president of the Anheuser Busch
Brewery Company, St. Louis, despite
indication that it would be made the
subject of attack in Congress and the
Anti-Saloon League and other dry or
ganizations.
Officials of the Department of Jus
tice refused to comment on the situa
tion, but in other quarters attention
was called to an opinion on file there
which was rendered by former acting
General Frierson in 1920- Mr. Frier
son held that the national prohibition
act was effective upon ships flying
the American flag wherever they may
be..
According to high repartment offi
cials an opinion of an Attorney Gen
eral remains the official interpretation
of a law until its has been revoked
by court decisions or by a superior
decision. Furthe^nore they added,
such opinions always stands unless
request for review comes from the
same department or agnency which
originally resquested the ruling.
Mr. Lasker’s stand as to liquor
sale on board American vessels was
taken, he informed Mr. Busch, cm the
authority of an opinion rendered by
General Counsel Schlesinger, of the
Shipping Board.
Upshaw to Offer an Amendment.
The chairman conferred yesterday
with Attorney GeScral Dougherty,
and while there gave him copies of the
correspondence with the St. Louis

at sea was not the primary purpose
of the conference, Mr. Lasker indi
cated later, but it was brought up
incidentally.

Milledgeville, Georgia, June 15—The
probe of the Georgia Prison Farm at
Milledgeville is over,'insofar as the
sessions of the' commission are ,
concerned, and there nhw remains
only the report of findings, which it
is expected will be made up at** ses
sion to bo held so soon as the official
reporter. Emmett Barnes, can com
plete the transcript of his notes.
The final day’s session was featur
ed hy a glaringly unsuccessful at
tempt by the defense to discredit and
break down the testimony of J.
Christie though a charge that he had
surreptitiously administered to W. R.
Lipscomb, the man who died of dia
betes, a dose of medicine in the dead
of night, with the strong inference
that the medicine was poison; that
Lipscomb lapsed Into deep unconsef-
ousness or coma In three minutes af
ter being given the dose, and remained
so until he died early Sunday morning.
Not only did that testimony, which
was brought In by the investigating
commission at the Instltgatlon of a
member of the Prison Commission,'
conflict diametrically with the sworn
testimony of Warden Smith, who.
swore he was awakend after sleeping
late Sunday morning and told that
Lipscomb was suffering terribly and
seemed to be dying, but still later in
the day Sunday he was informed that
Lipscomb was dead—but Christie was
entirely exonerated by the testimony
of Prisoner W. C. Adams, who Is In
charge of the drug shop, and by Dr.
Compton, the camp physician, who de-.
dared If such a dose was given It
would be the same he himself had
given to ease the sick man's pain. The
effort was a flat failure.
Searcey States His View
Of even greater Importance as a
part of the Investigation, thougb, was
the pointed and very emphatic state
ment made by Judge W. E. H. Sear
cey, chairman of the commission, that
while he had not conferred with the
other judges on the subject and has
no Idea what they think, he Is un
alterably opposed to corporal punish
ment In the prison. He made his com
ment very pointed, and left no possi
ble further room to doubt that the
report of the commission of Judges
will deal rather directly on that sub- .
Ject.
Taken as a whole, the general and
blanket charges made by Christie,
both in his testimony and in the news
paper publications In the Macon Tele-
graph, which brought about the In
vestigation, have been quite fully
borne out In the probe. Probably
there has not been given as much
