ton by turning over $500 in certificates Of
deposit, $3.50 in cash and a house and lot
on the east side. At the conclusion Of
Holmes testimony Prosecuting Attorney
Jameson informed the court that at the

Tho supreme court Monday sustained
the constitutionaliiy Of the prohibition law
of Iowa. The point of issue was the right
to manufacture intoxicating liquors solely
for expectation to other states despite the
state law, and it was pleaded that the pro-
hibitory feature. in SO far as the manu-
facture for expectation was concerned,
was in conflict with the constitutional
provisions giving congress the sole right
to regulate interstate commerce. The
case is that of j. s. Kidd, distiller, plain
tiff in error, vs.. j. E. Pierson and s. j.
Loughras. The court holds that the state
law prohibiting both the manufacture and
sale, except for mechanical, medicinal,
culinary and sacramental purposes, is not
in conflict with the inter-state commerce
provisions, and the decision of the Iowa
court is sustained. Opinion by Justice
