(Cap1tal News Speclal SefNlce.)
Washington, Dec. 10. - The SUI
preme court of the United States to-
day affirmed the decision Of Idaho in
the Latah county case involving the
prohibition law. 1t upheld the con-
stitutionality of the state statute for
bidding having liquor in ones pos
session.
This dispatch refers to the celebrat-
ed Crane case. BY affirming the su-
preme court of the state of Idaho
which held the statewide prohibition
act constitutional, possession Of liquor
by an individual within the boundaries
of Idaho is an offense punishable by
fine and imprisonment. The per
sonal liberty" contention made by
Crane, around whom the contest on
the law centered, is given a knockout
and liquor for personal use under the
law is therefore prohibited.
FORECASTED DECISION.
Attorney General r. A. Walters re-
turned the latter part of November
from Washington where he defended
the decision of the supreme court of
Idaho before the supreme court Of the
United States from which Crane ap-
pealed. He stated on his return he
was confident the supreme court of
the United States would affirm the
Idaho courts.
The decision of the supreme court

pany and the state of West Virginia.
was claimed by Attorney General
Walters to virtually settle the appeal
in the Crane case.
GREAT INTEREST IN OUTCOME.
Statewide interest centered in the
outcome of the Crane appeal because
of the personal liberty feature in
relation to individual use of liquor in
volved. The case was built on the
following facts:
One Ed Crane was arrested in Latah
county charged with having whisky in
his possession following the passage
of the prohibition law which makes
su6h an act unlawful He was arrested
| in the name Of the state for violating
| the law. Crane then brought action
against Sheriff Campbell of that
county seeking his release from Gus
tody through an application for a wri'
of habeas corpus to the supreme court
| of Idaho. The latter tribunal denied
the application and Crane was re-
manded to the custody OF the sheriff
At the same time 1t held the possession
