State Laws No Bar.

Beer is a commodity and railroads
must carry it when offered for transpor-
tation. from one State into dry" coun-
ties Of another State. regardless Of the
laws of the latter State. The Supreme
Court of the United States made this
ruling last Monday regarding a propos-
ed shipment from Indiana into dry
Kentucky counties.
Justice Lurton, who announced the
Courts decision. also laid down some
limitations on the jurisdiction of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, and up
held the action of shippers in going be-
fore judicial tribunals to test the validi-
~ of laws rather than to the commits
sion. He said that the Commission had
jurisdiction ovsr administrative ques-
tons and matters Of fact, but the Courts
over questions of general law. Justice
Lurton declared decisions Of the Supreme
Court had "undisputably" determined.
THAT beer and other intoxicating liq-
uors are the recognized and legitimate
subjects of interstate commerce.
That no State can forbid any common
carrier to transport such articles from
consignor in one State to consignee
in another
That until such transportation is con-
cluded by delivery to the consignee such
commodities do not become subject to
such regulation restraining their sale or
disposition.
He explained that the Wilson act
which subjected such liquors to State
regulations, although the liquor still was
in original packages. did not apply be-
fore actual delivery to the consignee,
where the shipment was interstate.
