PROHIBITION LAWS VOID.
the Supreme Court Decides the
ProhibitOry Statutes Arc
Unconstitutional
An Interesting
Case.

The decision Of the United States
Supreme Court in the case of Bow
man against tho Chicago and
, Northwestern Railway Company,
involving a construction of the pro-
hibitory liquor law Of Iowa, estab-
fishes point of moro Importance
than appeared on the surface. The
case strikes at the root of the Iowa
prohibitory law, and the decision
will be received in Iowa and other
states with prohibition laws with
unusual interest. The Iowa law
prohibits the introduction Of fliquor
into the State az we'll as the sale
therein. Railroads as common
carriers arc particularly enjoined
from bringing liquor from other
states. Bowman, a brewer, at
MarshalltOwn, Iowa, i'm order to
test the question whether the Iowa
law preventing the railroads from
delivering liquor would be upheld
i'll the courts ordered quantity Of
whiskey from Chicago. 1t was do
livered to the Chicago and North
western railway. That company
declined to receive and transport
it. bowman thcrcupon began suit
against the company for $6,000.-
The case came to trial before Judge
Blodgctt in the United States Dis
triet Court about fourteen months
ago. The railway place the pro-
hibitOry law of Iowa as an excuse
for the refusal, but Blum & Blum,
who were Bowman's attorneys
then and subsequently in the Su-
prcme Court, attacked the law az
unconstitutional and void upon the
ground that it was an attempt to
regulate Interstate Commerce.
Blum & Blum were pitted
against w. G. Cloudy and j. T..
Monroe, who represented the Com
pany, while the Attorney General
OF Iowa appeared for the State of
Iowa. Judge Blodgett decided in
favor of the company, that the law
was valid, but Bowman's attorneys
took the case to the United States
Supreme Court, with the result
that the Iowa law Is declared un-
constitutional and void. Out of
nine Justices there were three who
disEented from tho opinion. one be-
ing Chief Justice Waite. The rail
way is held to be liable to brewer
Bowman for its refusal to deliver
the whiskey, but more important
result is the declaration in the de-
cision that railroads can carry liq-
uor into Iowa.
"The effect" said Mr.. Blum, to-
day, "is to render ncgatory the pro-
hibitory law. The Attorney Gen
eral stated before Judge Blodgett
thatit would be impossible to main
tain prohibition in Iowa If the au-
thorities were denied the power to
prevent the shipment Of liquor into
the State,

CLEVELAND ONO, March H.
The dime museum managers are
headed for this city. The whole
town is talking Of II remarkable
child said to have been born Of P0-
lish parents in the Ncwburg ward
among the iron workers.
According to reports tho strange
infant is OF n bright red color and
its body is covered with n hairy
growth. Two horns about six in
chcs in length protrude from it's
forehead. It's hands are long and
claw like and both feet are twisted
into the form ofthe typical clovcn
foot. y small growth at the tip end
ofthe spine answers the purpose OF
a tail, and on each shoulder is y
protuberanco that strongly resem-
bles bats wings. Tusks are in
its mouth and altogether the mon
strosity is said to be most won
dcrful and totally astounding freak
Ofnaturc.
The story runs that the mother Of
this monstrosity II short time before
its birth witnessed pantolnimc at
one of the local theatres IN which
the orthodox stage devil makes his
appearance by being suddenly cast
up from the lower regions by
means OLA trap. The Polish wo-
man was frightened into u fainting
fit by this performance and had to
be taken from the house. Not long
after tho child was born marked as
above described.
The Polish priest says that no
such child exists, but many persons
asserts that they have seen it and
that tho reports arc exaggerated.
