Prohibition Label" Clause Void.

The section of the Colorado prohibit
tion law which provides that ship
ments of liquor in this state are seiz-
able unless they are plainly marked,
This package contains intoxicating
liquor" is declared void in an opinion
handed down by Judge II. +. Lewis
of the Federal Court. Assumption of
authority already preempted by the
federal government is the basis for
the decision. The opinion calls atten-
tion to the fact that there is now n
federal statute regulating interstate
shipments of liquor to which is at
tached a penalty for noncompliance.

GOVERNOR CARLSON SUSTAINED.
Judge Cooper Decides Capp's Re-

Judge Cooper Decides Capp's Re-
moval as Warden Was Regular.
Denver.-M. P. Capp, who has been
contesting his removal from the re-
formatory wardenship by Governor
Carlson, lost his case before Judge
Cooper at Buena Vista. The matter
came up on quo warranto proceed
ing against the warden.
The judge decided that the removal
of Capp was regular under the civil
service rules; that he was amenable
to them, and that II. l.. Shaw has
been legally head of the institution
since his appointment to that place
July 3.
Capp was ordered from the place
after the governor had held hearing
on certain charges made against the
warden in the management of the re-
formatory. Capp declared the gov
ernor was without power to remove
him, and held the reformatory against
entry by the governors appointee.
In an attempt to regain his office
as warden of the state reformatory,
Capp will appeal his case to the State
Supreme Court.
