Washington, March 3. - Minnesota
and the "dry" states on her west and
south will be greatly interested in the
Webb-Kenyon liquor bill which has
passed both houses over the Taft veto,
and thus goes al once into effect. Min.
neapolis, St. Paul. Milwaukee and Chi
cago, it has been estimated, have been
doing business worth several millions
OF dollars year with individual deal
ers in liquor in Iowa, the Dakotas and
Kansas. This new law will put stop
to this kind Of traffic, for every con-
of liquor sent into dry"
state, to be offered for sale in that
state may now be seized at the desti-
nation point and confiscated by the
state authorities. The result will he
that wholesale liquor dealers will no
longer do business with the "boot.
leggers" and other kinds of illicit
dealers in the "dry" states, for the
risk will be too great and losses must
necessarily be very heavy on such
business.
This is precisely what the temper
ance people have had in mind and
they put themselves behind the
Webb-Kenyon bill with degree of
which was responsible for
the big majority over the veto in the
two branches Of congress. Shipment
of liquor into a "dry" state for per.
sonal use will not be prohibited under
the new law unless the state in ques-
ton has a law which bars the person
al use of liquor.
If the state says that liquor may
not be sold as drug, for sacramental
purposes or for any other purpose,
then the Webb-Kenyon bill steps in
and makes the state law effective in
case of interstate shipments.
The Interpretation of the new law
was given today by Senator Kenyon
of Iowa, who was the joint author Of
it. He was asked to clear up the point
which has been in doubt as to the
right of an individual living in a
"dry" state to buy liquor from a
"Wet' state and apDly il to his own

leniency in behalf of his client, and
as q result the amendment to the mo
ton for Imprisonment throughout the
session was made.
Representatives Taylor, Miller and
Ryan took the stand and denied hav'
ing had any conversation with Ness
regarding the anti-snuff bill.
Representative Thompson swore to
an affidavit to that effect. Deputy
State Treasurer Tharaldson testified
to the effect that he did not talk to
Rice over the telephone from Ness

testimony.
Representative Divet of Richland
county was the only witness testifying
at this mornings session of the alleg.
ed bribery investigation.
When demand was made by the

to the contrary, that the names Of
those alleged to be connected with the
present IDEAL" be disclosed, Mr.. Divet
said that Ness had declared to have
fixed it with Senator Hookway who
was to get $1,000 whether the defeat
of the anti-snuff measure was affect
ed or not. Ness, he said, also impli-
Gated Representative Thompson, who
was to receive $500, and Representa-

and Taylor of Mountraill, in connec-
tion with whom no specific amount

the American Tobacco Co., and Ben
Ness.
Mrs. Mckenzie testified to having
given Rice advice as to the sentiment
of the legislature toward the anti
snuh bill. She mentioned Twichell as
one Of its strong supporters, and
when she was asked to recommend
someone who might influence Twich'
ell to change his views, she recon-
mended Ness.
Later she conversed with Rice over
the phone. Rice was at Fargo and
following instructions from Ness. That
was about a week ago.
She testified Ness told her he had
13 or Is members lined up, including
Twichell, who would require about
1000. He said also that he was in
hopes of landing Divet, but he did not
know at what price. He said it would
take $4,000 or $4,000 to square it
with the other representatives.
