ARGUMENTS ENDED
 IN INSPECTION CASE
Supreme Court Takes Ques- tion of Validity of Ordi-
 nance, Under Advisement

4 Montgomery, April 7.-(Special) )-Argu- . ments were heard by the supreme court today in the Birmingham liquor inspec- tion case, which involves the right of the city commission of Birmingham to levy tax of 50 cents on each shipment of liquor received in the city. Following the argument, the court took the case under advisement.
 Walker Percy of Birmingham who represented H. D. Markstein, for the li- quor interests, said that the Alabama legislature never intended that a person could not getsliquor through the express company, or that the city could levy a license. He contended that when a per- son pays the inspection fee of 50 cents he himself is furnishing evidence that later on might convict him of a crime, and that no person can testify against himself. He cited authorities to show that such a law had not been upheld in recent years by the Alabama supreme court other state supreme courts and the United States supreme court.
 M. M. U1lman, city attorney of Bir- mingham made the closing argument. He contended that the ordinance is law en-
  legislature. He cited the Bonner anti shipping bill to show that the legislature did all in it's power to prevent the con- sumption of liquor, and said the ordi- lance was intended to aid the legislature. He also contended that the ordinance vii. prevent many persons from violating the law, for the reason that each recipients transactions will be a matter of record against him and could be used in any trial in the future. To show what trouble the city is having in enforcing the law, MT. Ullman mentioned that one station in Birmingham receives on an average of 1750 shipments each day; that 90 per cent of these come addressed to fictitious persons. He said there are now POGO cases on the docket of Jefferson county Charging violations of the prohibition laws and that there are 26 stations in Birmingham where people may receive shipments of liquor. He claimed that unless records are kept any person might receive shipments at one or more sta- tions.

 KEYNOTE SPEECH

Roosevelt had indicated willingness to accept the presidential nomination of the party formed the basis of several inn Iromptu conferences. Several state lead- CTS said they had been unable to discover That the Roosevelt statement had any marked effect on the situation.
 Many of the leaders declared that what sentiment that had crystalized in their states largely was in favor of Justice Hughes although Senator Cummins, former Senator Burton, Charles W. Fair banks, Senator Sherman and other favor. ite sons had many supporters.
 It was the consensus of opinion that about 70 per cent of the delegates in the convention would be uninstructed.
 The subcommittee adopted a resolution declaring that seats would be provided provided for nthe official call and that states electing double tine number of au- thorized delegates with half a vote each would have to settle the question of who is entitled to seats before the convention meets.
 The committee ruled that it would not hear contests from states electing dele gates by direct primary and that in these states the delegates certified by the sec- retary of state would be placed on the temporary roll call without question This action will, it is believed, greatly reduce the number of contests. The only con- tests thus far are from Georgia and Louisiana
 ters in Chicago to receive notice of con- tests about May 10. The subcommittee on arrangements will not meet again until few days before the convention

 50 far as we can see, Holland finds herself compelled to protect her coast. not against Germany but against Eng land Holland has been warned by the tragic fate of Greece. We not only feel ourselves racially related to Pollard, but deeply sensible of the fact that Holland is now suffering not for herself alone,

Count Won Westarp conservative, con- demned the attitude of the United States in supplying ammunition to the entente allies, and continued: "The German people are firmly resolved to disregard the unjustifed demands of America. We shall, of course, respect justified interests of neutrals, but they must acknowledge our duty and right to defend our existence with all means at our disposal.

new world to redress the balance or the old.
 80 Germany and Austria are to solve the problem of Poland! truly com fortable prospect for the Poles! If Ger many wants Suwalhi there will be no dearth of German professors to prove that it is Lithuanian, and not Polish. Poland is to be free, but not for the Poles, for their country is reserved for the noble function of a buffer between Germany and Russia, delicately colon1zed by Germans.
 And Belgium! There is to be a new Belgium Listen to the chancellor, set ting the oppressed Flemish free by ora tcry, after they for months have refused to be set free by the mild rule of the German kommandators in Belgium or to swallow the precious Flemish university which the German government has tried to force down their threats
 PEACE IS REFUSED
 ITO such peace proposals there is only one answer. We refuse. We are fight ing for the old Belgium. That which has been broken shall be restored, and with the nation and government who broke it we shall never have peace so long as they have the effrontery to claim right of playing providence with the pieces.
 Has not the world made up it's mind WH6bc tHe T6SpOUSlDlllly IOr SldFllHS lilo war rests? Upon the allies, whose forces were not ready for offense, or upon Ger many. who had planned in advance the violation of Belgium? Now Germany says she wishes an end to the hostili- ties Is it because she loves peace? No. because her early hopes of victory are dwindling. and she wishes to draw full advantage from her past successes and be in a position after the war still to dominate the continent with the threat of her formidable military machine
 What would such a peace mean? It would mean the triumph of the German idea of international morality the tri- umph of the system which regards treat ies as scraps of paper and finds every thing permissible in war, provided only it is successful.
 Do not make any mistake. Germany is unchanged. We have still to deal with the same Prussianized power. Zeppelins still creep by night over the peaceful countryside and drop bombs on women and children; submarines still turk in the depths of the sea and send to the bottom unarmed merchant vessels, neu- tral or belligerent with all their non- combatant passengers and crews. Their methods of warfare remain ruthless and inhuman, just as falsehoods and effront- cry continue to be their chief diplomatic weapons"
