ANEXPRESS BOOZE CASE
The Decision of the United States Su-
preme Court Is an Important VI
One.

Bradstreet's: Last year the court of
appeals of Kentucky had before it
certain proceedings Instituted by that
commonwealth against the Adams
Express Co. on the ground that the
company was using the privilege of
interstate carriers to ship liquor into
the state and sell it contrary to state
law. 1t was alleged that the whisky
in question had been shipped from
Cincinnati, o., to two counties in Ken
lucky, in the absence of any order
from the consignee and Of any knowl-
edge by the purchasers as to the
identity of the shipper. The common
wealth officials contended that the fact
that the company held the goods, In
formed the consignees and collected
the price under those circumstances
practically put it in the position of a
vendor of liquor and made 1t subject
to state law prohibiting such traffic,
The express company argued that it
was common carrier obliged under
it's contracts to make collections on
C. o. d. packages, and that as the
packages were brought into Kentucky
from Ohio, any prohibition of the busi-
ness under state laws was an inter-
ference with interstate commerce, The
Kentucky court of appeals decided
against the express company, but its
decision was reversed this week by
the supreme court of the United
States, which held that the transac-
tion was one of Interstate commerce
and therefore not subject to state reg
ulation.
