The period in American history

three thousand farms were opened to

NEW LIQUOR LAW
Regulations Covering All Shipments
Of Liquor.

Washington, March by a vote
of 246 to SO the House of Representa-
tives yesterday passed over the Pres
ident's veto the Webb-Kenyon bill
prohibiting the interstate shipment
of intoxicating liquors, if the liquor
is intended to be received, possessed,
sold or used in violation OF the law
of the State into which il is shipped.
The action of the House made the
act part of the statute law of the
land, effective Immediately as the
Senate passed the measure over the
President veto Friday. 1t is the
first law that has been placed on the
statute books over President Tafts
disapproval.
Aside from the sweeping effect of
this act, If upheld as constitutional,
the Webb-Kenyon law is of even
more far-reaching character than
many persons believed. The popular
impression is that its application ex-
tends only to interstate shipments OF
intoxicating liquors into the so-called
dry" States.
This is a mistake that will be rea-
lized by proprietors of clubs, speak
easies, and other in wet" as well as
dry" States as soon as the prohibit
ton advocates throughout the coun-
try undertake their crusade for the
enforcement of the law. The appli-
cation of the act is nationwide. 1t
applies to liquor shipped into New
York or New England or into any
other part of the country, IL the
liquor is intended to be received,
possessed, sold or used in New York,
or in other States into which 1t is
shipped. in vialation Of any law in
New York or that other State. Rep
resentative Webb, author of the bill
made this declaration last night.
The text of the act bears out his as.
sertion that II is universal and not
confined to the prohibition of the
shipment of liquor into only the
dry" States, as many had supposed.

STATE AT WAR OVER CROWS
Ornithologists Fight Bounty, Put on

Olympia, Wash, March Farmers
and ornithologists are engaged in a
bitter war in this State as a result of

To this and other statements de-

his own hennery last spring, he
says, flock of crows killed and car
ried off 127 chickens in half an hour.
