KEEP BOOZE OUT OF DRY STATES
Senators Nelson and Bacon Say Con.
gress Has Power to Put on Lid.

Senators Nelson and Bacon Say Con.
gress Has Power to Put on Lid.
Washington, April 81. - What are
admitted to be the most important
opinions that have been given by the
lawyers of the present congress are
those just issued by the five mem.
bers of the judiciary committee of the
senate relating to the liquor legisla-
ton pending in congress covering the
question of the Transportation of
liquor in interstate commerce, espe-
cially into states which have prohibi-
tory laws against the manufacture
and sale of liquor.
Two members of this subcommittee
of the senate judiciary committee,
Senators Nelson of Minnesota and Ba-
con of Georgia, hold the opinion that
it is within the power of congress alb
solutely to prohibit the entry Of liquor
IN interstate commerce into those
states.
Congress Has Power.
In other words, that congress has
power to so legislate that the laws of
the states, enacted under the police
powers of the states, shall become op.
erative to cover liquor shipped in in
terstate commerce upon it's entry into
such prohibition states and before the
liquor reaches the consignee.
Senator's Knox of Pennsylvania.
Fulton of Oregon and Rayner of Mary
land unite in holding that congress
has no such power under the constitu-
ton.
Senator Nelson's opinion on this
subject is regarded as by far the
most luminous and vigorous of any
that has been given in either house of
congress in favor of the power of con-
gress to deal with this subject.

Plan of thorough reconstruction of
the White Pine Telephone Co.'S line

made 10 News representative by
Manager Bennett yesterday
An immense cable is to be carried
from the company's exchange across
from the depot. along Clarke street
as far as Murry street. and all lines
are to be concentrated therein. IN
stead of a festoon of wires along
Aultman street. as now exists, the
cable alone will be used for the
transportation of current. This will
materially benefit the service. reduce
cost of maintenance and will be much
more convenient to the employees of
the company in keeping the system
in order.
Several weeks will be consumed by
this work of reconstruction and when
completed, the telephone system in
Ely will compare favorably with any
in the country.
