priated for those Investigations" said
Representative Johnson today, 'and the
Investigations have shown where $1,000

government"
tinue along lines already laid down. In
previous statements Mr.. Johnson has
limited that the Washington Market
COmpany's affairs will show some in
teresting Developments, and the resolu-
tion today before the rules committee
makes the distinct provision that il
shall include any ice manufacturer.
any market house company. or corpora :
rfon, any cold storage or warehouse
company and any person. company or
corporation dealing with meats or
other provisions In the District Of Co
lumbia."
In addition, it is the present inten-
tion of the committee to take up GER
tain affairs of the office of the corpO-
ration counsel. the strongest prObabii-
ity being that the office will be quizzed
concerning the status of the defalca-
tion of some years ago in the financial
departments of the District government.
Representative Johnson referred to this
at considerable length one day in the
House while the District bill was being
debated and at that time ii was his con-
tention that the Commissioners In office
at the time of the defalcation might be
held responsible. Since that time the
the matter with scarcely any standing at
all. but members of the District commit
tee believe that il should be kept alive
and thrashed cut in Congress.
Assessment and Taxation System.
The George report on assessment and
taxation of real estate in the District of
Columbia has been read by the new men,
bers of the committee and its keynote Is
found in the opening sentence:
That real estate is assessed irregularly.

gross discriminat tion between section and

nittee to make further investiga tions

NEW EXCISE LAW
UPHELD BY COURT
Judge Pugh Rules Congress
Has Power to Prohibit or
Regulate Liquor Traffic.

The validity of the new excise law was
today uphed by Judge Pugh in the Police
Court. This decision was made in over
ruling a motion in arrest of judgment in
a case involving a violation of the pro-
vision of the new law biting the
sale of liquor without secu ing license
Charles Coleman, a cOlOred man, was con-
victed of this charge in the Police Court
last week, and his attorney, Thomas l..
Jones, Immediately filed a motion in ar
rest of the courts judgment the
grounds that the law was unconstitu-
tional.
After todays ruling, and for other
reasons. Mr.. Jones gave notice that he
would apply for a writ of or, and APP
peal from the decision.
In ovcrruling the motion, Judge Pugh
said: Congress has the power to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor entirely, under
the general police power invested in that
body, and having that power surrey
has the power to regulate the sale of
whisky and other liquo. in the most
drastic manner.
Congress has undoub tedly the power to
prohibit the sale of liquor to minors, to
persons in an intoxicated cond ton and
persons i'll the habit of becoming drunk.
and under this new law this prohibition
guests partaking OF a meal at a restau-
rant.
Liquor in Contraband Category.
This charge against Coleman. of
which he was convicted and sentenced to
pay fine of $500 or so to the wcrkh use
for six months, is that of maintaining, an
unlicensed bar, and most assurediy Con-
gress has the righ. and power to require
licenses for the sale of liquor
Liquor comes within the category of
contraband.' the judge continued, land
the legislative body of the United States
can deal with it, on t. at account, as it
sees fit.
Replying to Attorney Jones contention
that the law was unconstitutional in that
it was, in part, class and discrim. natory
legislation, Judge Pugh said. Il ain con-
vinced that this law contains no legisla-
ton which would deprive any one of the
ri, hts which the Constitution guarantees
and. therefore, l must overrule the mo-
tion."
In hisN opening argument. Attorney
Jones at tacked the authors of the ex-
else measure, declaring they had Ca
tered to an insane popular clamor in
order to proiong their own unworthy
political longevity"
Attorneys Contention.
In support OF MS claim that refusing
women entrance to barrooms and pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor to them
except they purchase a meal is uncon-
stitutonal. Attorney Jones cited a case
in kentucky. In this case it was held
that IAN ordinance making it misde-
meanOr for a woman to go into any
building where liquor is sold is void as an
unnecessary interference with individual
liberty"
Mr. Jones contended that the new law
repealed the old law. and that it is in
itself void and ineffective, leaving WASH
ingtOn therefore, with no excise law at
ali, making prosecutions illegal.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Robert
l.. Wil.iams combated all of the points
made by the attorney for the defendant
and cited a number of decisions and
authorities to prove the validity of the
Jones-W WorkS law.
