WEBB-KENYON Law IN
U.S.. SUPREME COURT
Gases Arising from Shipment oI
Liquor in Trunk Yields Novel
Points.

\ brief was filed in the SUPREME Court
yesterday in behalf of the Department OF
Justice in the case of the United States
against Joe Freeman. prosecution on
appeal OF an alleged violation of the
Webb-kenyon liquor law. Federal
statute passed by the SiXtieth Congress
regulating shipments OF intoXicants in in
terstate commerce. The brief. which
was prepared by Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Warren, raises some novel points.
The law is intended to renalize c. o. d.
and unlabeled shipments OF iEtoXicants
from one State to another or from tor
eign country into a State.
The defendant. residing in the prOhibi-
ton State of Kansas, had shipped to him
from Joplin. Mo. six unla abeled trunks
containing Intoxicating liquor. He was
indicted in the United States District
Court for Kansas. but the court there
sustained a demurrer to the indictment.
holding that the offense was complete in
the State of Missouri, where the un-
labeled trunks We're delivered to the
railroad company. and that 1t could be
tried only in that State.
The government has appealed upon the
ground that the shipping of the unla-
bcled package is a continuing offense and
may be punished either in the wet
State. where they are delivered to the
carrier, or in the district in the dry"
State, where they are delivered to the
consignee. 1t relies in part TO support
this contention upon that portion of the
statute which forbids the shipment of
such packages from foreign countries
into the United States. which would. Of
course, be entirely nugatory If the Of
fense could only be punished in the
place where the lic.uors were delivered
to the railroad comrany or other carrier.
Another ground of appeal is that per-
son residing in dry State may cause
such illegal shipments to be made to him
from n wet State. by transmitting an
order by mail or otherwise, and that hav
ing initiated the offense in the dry"
State he may be punished there.

SOLDIERS FROM u. 5.
ARE NOT MISTREATED
Letter to Herald Staff Man Refutes
Charge that Nationality Causes
Them Any Trouble.

EofutIt Ition of stories which a disCharg-
army of trouble because of his national
ity arc contained in letter received by
Il member of The Herald staff from Ira
cey Richardson. Missouri boy. veteran
of the Nicara qua and Mexican wars. who
spent five months in the trenches in
Flanders with the Princess Patricia Ca
nadian Light Infantry before he was in
va'ided to England with three shrapncl
wounds.
Under date of September 13 Richardson
writes his friend on The Herald as fol-
lows:
AT last I am clear of the hospitals
and in way am very glad. though I did
have good time there. ! don't know
what will happen next | think | will
be up before a medical board for exam
ination within the next two weeks. and
it remains for them to pronounce the
verdict. | think | have a fair chance Of
getting my discharge. as 1 still have
piece of shell in my back: but one can
never tell. they may recommend me fit
for duty, in which case shall be drafted
out to the front at once. / can't say that
l am very anxious to go back. and still
want to go and see the finish. i don't
think that is SO far away, as some peo-
pie think-that is in the matter of years
The British are making SOME guns and
SOME gas cylinders, etc, and some day
a cyclone is going to be turned loose.
would like to be there, but think 1 have
had enough experience.
II have received The Herald resu-
larly and sure do appreciate II. In one
of the last papers I came across an
article by an American who secured
his discharge through the State Depart
ment. His story Of life and treatment
sounded so unlikely to me that visit
ed the regiment he came from. the
First Canadian Mounted Rifles. and.
having friends in that regiment. asked
them about it. This man was a chronic
kicker. and as for his having fights.
they never progressed that far. There
are quite a number OF Americans in
the same regiment. and they all said
that they were treated finely and had
no kick at all. and i know that has
been my experience. As far as insults.
etc. I was never in a bunch of men
where I was treated better or had bet
ter friends. OF course, We have argu-
ments some times. but always friendly.
1 had one fight after joining That
was in the trenches and no question
of nationality was involved; so it
makes me tired to hear such fools
talk.
II have had three weeks sick leave
since l left the hospital: have just
come off leave. and the last day. as I
was strolling down the Strand I ran
into Bill Shepherd "a widely known
American correspondent. and. though
I could see him for only a short time.
we had a drink and a very interesting
talk. He may be down here this week
to see me. though 1 doubt it, for he Is
going back to France next week and
will be busy.
II wanted to send you some pictures
of the war from London but they will
not accept them in the mail now for
fear of spies sending messages that
way. though 1 don't understand that as
letters seem to go through all right"
