CAN SHIP LIQUOR
Supreme Court Says 1t May Be
Sent From Outside Points
BUT NOT FROM THIS STATE

DOVER, DEL, June 18th Residents
of Kent and Sussex counties, the
''dry' districts of Delaware, who have
suffered from long continued
drought may now get their liqucr
with more convenience, for judges of
the Supreme Court of Delaware hand
ed down a decision today that makes
legal the shipment of liquors from out
side the state into Kent and Sussex
counties, provided the liquor is to be
used for '1awful purposes.
The court also held that the Webb
Kenyon law is not applicable Wien
shipments from outside the state into
a "dry" territory are for the personal
use of the consignee.
The court decided that the Hazel anti
shipping law is constitutional in its pro-
hibiticn of liquor shipments from points
in Delaware into Kent and Sussex
counties.
The Interpretation of the application
of the Webb-Kenyon federal law in
connection with the Hazel anti-shipping
law is of far-reaching Importance, for
it means that dealers in Pennsylvania,
Maryland and other states may ship
liquor into Sussex counties for lawful
use, or consumption, by those to whom
is shipped, the dealers in New Castle
county are prohibited from making ship
ments for any use except for medicinal
or sacramental purposes.
It is expected, however, judging from
the talk yesterday that Wilmington
dealers will set up agencies in Pennsyl-
vania in order to make bid for the
trade which will come from the "dry"
counties.
The decision of the Supreme Court
was made in the case of the State VS..
Benjamin F. Van Winkle. The latteE
was agent of the Adams Express Com
pany, at Smyrna, and was arrested
for disterbing liquor shipments by ex-
press from Philadelphia. He was con-
victed and appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court. Herbert H. Ward, Dan
iel O. Hastings and John Biggs repre-
sented Van Winkle and Attorney-Gen.
eral Wolcott and Deputy Attorney-Gen-.
eral John B. Hutton represented the
state.
The Supreme Court, Chancellor
Curtis and Judges Woolley- and Rice
sitting, reversed the lower court, ard
decided that crime punishable under
the laws of Delaware has not been
shown to have been committed by Van
Winkle, and that the charge Of the
Court of General Sessions, based upon
the contrary view, constituted an error.
Chancellor Curtis was not on the
bench to-day. he being at Delaware
College.
Judges Woolley and Rice sat to-day,
the former reading the opinion covering
1O7 typewriter pages.
The supreme Court emphasized par
ticuarly that it did not pass upon the
constitutionality OF the Webb Kenyon.
law, passed by Congress, which is left
an open question SO far as the courts of
Delaware are concerned.

Hay Destroyed by Fire

The hay field on the farm of Julian

at noon Wednesday, and owing to the
dry condition of everything, gained
great headway before it was discovered.
The farm hands tried to fight it and
neighbors turned out, but it spread over
about Is acres before it could be sup
pressed.
This is a great loss to Mr.. Cleaver,

farm at Canal Bridge. The fire was
soon put out and only about an acre of
