NEW PHASE OF BOOZE PROBLEM BROUGHT UP
 IN DOUGLAS ACTION
Bert Aaron Asks That Case Be Transferred to United States District Court as 1t Involves Interstate Commerce.


 TOMBSTONE. Nov 24 Especially A new phase has been introduced in to the prohibition question in the case of the State vs Bert Aaron, who is charged with introducing liquor into the state, alleged to have been com mitted at Douglas a few weeks since. After the demurrers to the informa- ton had been denied. Attorney French, for the defendant. filed pc ution asking for the removal of the case Co the United States Court at that the shipment was an inter state one and that the Superior Court Of Cochise County has no jurisdiction in the matter and that the matter should come under the laws of the United States The matter will be heard in the Superior Court on Saturday
 This point has never been raised SO far in any of the cases that have come before the Superior Court and will be thoroughly thrashed out be- fore the court on Saturday Both sides claim to have a number Of au- thorites Go cite to the court bearing on the question.
 lt is possible that the Webb Kenyon act may also be brought into the dis. cussion before the matter is settled as Attorney French intimated as much in a statement in the court when the pc. tition was filed He maintained at that time that it would have jurisdic- tion in view of the fact that it was an interstate shipment coming from Ro. deo New Mexico, to Douglas He also maintained that the officers had no right Co seize the shipment on its way as it was an interstate shipment
 The point raised on Saturday prom ises to bring out new phases of the liquor question and the decision of the court in this matter will no doubt set ] a precedent that will govern in all | the eases Of a similar nature in the future.
 Attorney Ross and Stevenson foi the State have been busy during tho ! past couple of days in hunting mp 8 number of eases in the matter and state that they have no fear Of tho ruling of the court in the case.
