ATTACKS LEGALITY
Of BYRD LAW

The eonstitutionality of the BYRD
liquor law was attacked in the United
States district court yesterday by At
torney VIII s. Cook, of Madison coun-
ty attorney for the plaintiff. In the
case of Rivercomb & Craven WIS. the
Commonwealth of Virginia. On this
ground Cook asked for an injunction
restraining the State from prosecut-
ing his clients on an indictment WHICH
was brought against them under the
Byrd law,
The case was argued before a spe-
ciai session OF the United States Dis
trict court of the Western district OF
Virginia. Judges Waddtli, Mcdowell
and Pritchard sitting, That the byrd
law discriminates against the small
distiiier in favor of the larger and al
lows the larger to ship liquor into any
sections, whereas the small distiiler
cannot. and Is In conflict with the
United States statutes, was the plea
OF the attorney for The indicted firm
of distillers of Madison county.
The court took the case under con-
alteration.
The Rivereomb & Craven firm
was indicted under the Byrd law for
less than one gallon. The claim of
the Commonwealth is that the firm
cannot, under the Byrd liquor law,
sell Iiauur In Madison county ut all
because this county In a mo license
territory. The United States laws
give the right to sell In any parts of
the State without reference to guam
tity.
MFR, Cook argued that under the
United States statutes granting retail
licenses to distillers. such distiller may
nh nd faf
and seyen-eighths gallons, Under
the Byrd liquor law, according to the
of the law now being
observed, he can sell not less than
Ave gallons. SO that il he operates un-
der the one he violates the other. This
State law. he claims, operates to con-
tradict the United States law.

CARDINAL CLUB WINS
FIRST CAME FROM lone
Fast Game at Rink Results
In A 20 to II Score For
The Locals.

The Cardinal Club Of this city
defeated the fast lone quintet on
the local floor last Friday night.
The score was 20 to II at the end
of the last half. 1t was a case
Of the best team losing, for lone
displayed much better team work
than their opponents. However,
the Cardinals were very much
handicapped in their team work
by the condition of Hale, forward,
who was barely able to stand on
his feet during the entire game.
He had an attack Of appendicitis
just a few hours before the game
and he displayed iron nerve by
going in. Had Hale been in good
condition the Cardinals probably
would have run up much larger
score.
A good crowd attended the
game and the interest was in
tense. During the intermission
loyal Heppner rooters formed a
serpentine on the floor and kept
things lively between halves.
For lone, Cochran and Blake
did the basket shooting, while
Sperry's foot work was feature
of the game. Sperry is fast and
he handles the ball in superb
style.
The shining lights Of the locals
were at a par in their brilliancy.
Rogers played a consistent game
at center and did some excellent
goal shooting. Hallock showed
up in his old form at guard.
Crawford did some good basket
tossing for fouls, making four
out of four tries for goal.
Cronan as referee and Case as
umpire gave satisfaction as Off
cials. There was some discussion
of rules during the game, but
then it was ever thus.
The two teams will meet again
on Thanksgiving at lone and a
good game should be the result.
