WHISKEYMENJOYFU
ON PROGRESS or FIGHT ON rRoHr-
 BITION LAW.
Attorneys Massing Fight on Section 10 sf Act Relating to Centfnuea Enforcement of Former
 Pr0hfbiffon Statutes.

The fight on the Prohibition Act. in- volved in the application before Judge A. D. Sayre. of the City Court of Mont gomery, is massed on Section 1s of the act. and the act will stand or fall by the final decision of the Supreme Coprt on that particular section. In the meanwhile the attorneys for the op- ponents of the bill are auite confident that they will win. even though they might fail in Judge Sayre' court. The point involved was not settled by the Supreme Court which passed on and de- clared the act constitutional and In the Cullman County cases.
 The Prohibition Act does not as most general acts do, repeal all laws and parts of laws in conflict with It. In- stead. in Section 16 it Is expressly stated that prohibition laws in effect at the time of the passage of the bill should continue to remain in effect. This in many cases made prohibition operative by two special acts and with a different penalty contained fin each act. For instance previous to the passage of the act all of Montgomery County except the city of Montgom- cry was prohibition territory and a penalty was declared for any violation of the act. Now the general prohi- bition law also covers that same ter- ritory and provides a different pen- atty.
 There is no way by which a court is to say which penalty shall be en- forced. There are two existing laws on the same subject over the same territory. This, it is strongly urged, is in direct conflict with the Constitu- tion.
 It Is easy to see that the Nwhiskey men are more hopeful over the new phase of the fight than they have been at any time since the various attacks were made on the bill in. the courts This hope has grown out of what their lawyers and other. lawyers have told them. It Is to be borne in mind. too, that this point has not been decided by the Supreme Court. The first light was made on the bill's record, but the court found the record clear.
 This Is not the only point involved in the fight in Judge Sayre's court, but it Is the point on which the attacking party has centered and massed its re- sources. Of course whatever may be the outcome of the fight in the City Court of Montgomery, the case will go immediately to the Supreme Court :. The whiskey men are hopeful that the Supreme Court. which approved the act when 1t was presented on its re. cord will declare it bad on the newest and latest fight.
