NYfIson,s inaugural.

Presfdent-elect wilson's sugges-
ton about his own inauguration,
which is featured for beng one of
a few concrete things he has recently
uttered among u great mass Of
platitudes on politics and comments
on the weather, is the suject of a
widespread discussion at present as

Some commentators indorse the
presids1t-elect's suggestion and
others reg ster objections to di-
vision of the usual ceremony; but
OF all the comment that has been
observed by the Telegram, the most
sensible advice is given by the New
York Sun in the suggestion that the
whole foolish celebration should be
eliminated altogether. The most

CAN SHIP BEER
into DRY STATE
State Laws Cannot Interfere With
Shipments In Prohibition Territory.

Washington, Jan 2S.-Beer is a com
modify and railroads must carry it
when offered for transportation from
one state into dry counties of an.
other state, regardless of the laws of
the latter state. The supreme court
of the United States made this ruling
yesterday regarding a proposed ship
ment from Indiana into dry Ken
lucky counties.
Justice Lurton who announced the
courts decision, also laid down some
limitations on the jurisdiction Of the
interstate commerce commission. He
upheld the action of shippers in going
before judicial tribunals to test the
validity of laws rather than to the com
mission. He said that the commission
had jurisdiction over administrative
questions and matters of fact but the
NVtA 70 oNNi IucbtluilS VI GENERAL law.
Justice Lurton declared decisions of
the supreme court had 'une utably"
determined:
That beer and other intoxicating liq-
uors are the recognized and legitimate
subjects of interstate commerce.
That no state can forbid any com
mon carrier to transport such articles
from consignor in one state to con
signee in another
That until such transportation is con
cluded by delivery to the consignee.
such commodities do not become sub
ject to such regulation restraining Ii
quor 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
before actual delivery to the consignee
where the shipment was interstate.
