WASHINGTON April 14. Legal' ad
visers of government agencies interested
In liquor regulations examined statutes
and exeeutive orders' Monday without
findinc soecific lecal .authority bv which
the internal reveniA bureau might en-
force war-time prohibition after July 1.
President Wilson under the Overman
act firing him power to transfer func
tions Irom one department to. another
might delegate the authority to the rev-
enue bureau some lawyers declared.
However this still would leave the bu-
reau without adequate funds to pay the
costs of maintaining 'a. large federal po-
lice force unless there ir soma legisla-
tion at an early special session tf con-
gress... .-r -V ... ' ... .
. Suggestions received did not change
materially the air of uncertainty over
the question of-how prohibition is to Be
enforced after July 1 as caused by Inter-
nal Revenue Commisisoner Roper's an-
nouncement that his bureau had not the
authority nor the funds to carry out the
enforcement measures primarily. Many
telegrams received at the commissioners
office reflected keen interest by indi-
viduals and organisations in the status of
war-time prohibition. ' . -'
Legal' advisers of other agencies dis-
covered that an executive order of the
president ' dated September 2 1017 is-
sued under authority of the Overman
act delegated to the revenue bureau and
the customs division the enforcement of
the food conservation act of August 10
1917' which prohibited the use of food
materials in production of whisky and
pavsd the way for restriction of beer
brewing. These agencies acting under
the treasury - were authorised by the
president to employ such' additional as-
sistants for this work as the secretary of
the treasury might deem necessary. The
amendment to the agricultural appropria
tion act ox XNovemoer zi ivis ny wmcn
was established did not become law .until
long after; that executive order was is
sued and consequently the order would
not apply to the prohibition measure.
The 'distinction between this act . and
other war-time liquor restriction as
pointed out by officials is that it relates
to te saie ot liquor wnereas tne others
related to manufacture. Consequently it
was explained that the revenue . bureau
will not- have' power to take action
against illicit sale but will retain its prcs-
ent power to prevent illegal production
of liquor. .-i. ' '
