T BY SUPREME COURT
Webb.kenyon and West Virginia
Shipping Statutes Valid.
BODY BLOW TO WET FORCES
Justices Holmes and Vandevanter
Dissent No Conflict In West
Virginia Law-Safeguards
States Power.

Washington.-In the most sweeping
of all decisions upholding prohibition
laws the Supreme Court upheld as con,
stitutional and valid the Webb-Kenyon
law, prohibiting shipments of liquor
from wet" to dry" States. 1t also
sustained West Virginia's recent
amendment to her law prohibiting i'm
portation in interstate commerce OF
| liquor for personal use.
After having been vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft, who held it unconstitution-
al, and having been repassed by Con-
gress over his veto, the law was sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court by vote
of Z TO 2.
Chief Justice White announced the
majority opinion, to which Justices
Holmes and Vandevanter dissented.
Justice McReynolds, while agreeing
with the majority decision, did not
| concur in the opinion.
Virtually every inferior Federal
and State court which has considered
the Webb-Kenyon Law has upheld its
constitutionality; several cases have
| arisen in Delaware, Tennessee, Iowa,
Texas, Alabama, North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, Kansas, South Carolina, Missis-
sippi and Idaho.
Now pending before the Supreme
Court is another case from North
Carolina raising validity of the Fed
t eral law which probably will depend
| upon the courts decision today in the
| West Virginia cases. These two cases
were twice argued before, in May,
1915, and November, 1916, and attor,

uphold the Federal statute.
1.-THE all-reaching power of govern
ment over liquor is settled" said the
Chief Justice in announcing the de-
| cision. There was no intention of
Congress to forbid individual use of
liquor. The purpose of this act was
| to cut out by the roots the practice
Of permitting violation of State liquor
laws. We can have no doubt that Con-
gress has complete authority to pre-
vent paralyzing of State authority.
Congress exerted power to CO.

authority"
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League of America, who.
with Fred Blue, State prohibition COM
missioner of West Virginia, argued
the case before the court, made this
statement on the courts decision:
"The States may now prohibit the
possession, receipt, sale and use of
intoxicating liquor, and not be ham,

American Association of Commerce
and Trade of Berlin in honor Of James
w. Gerard, the American Ambassador
to Germany, who has just returned tC

at least two ex-ministers, the vice
president of the Reichstag, the heads
of Germany's big financial institutions
and other leaders in German public
life. David Wolf, president of the
American Association, who presided
was fianked on the right by Ambassa.

lor, and then came Arthur Won Gwin
ner, director of the Deutsche Bank;
DR.. Bernard Dernburg, ex-secretary for
the colonies, and DR.. Herman Paasche
vice-president of the Reichstag, while
beyond Minister Sydow were Joseph
c. Grew, secretary of the American
Embassy; DR.. w. S. Wolf, secretary
for the colonies; John B. Jackson
former American minister to the
Balkan States, and Adolf Wermuth
Lord Mayor Of Berlin. In all It's
guests, about equally divided between
Americans and Germans, were pres
ent.
The usual toasts to Emperor VIII
liam and President Wilson were drunk
standing. President Wolf introduced
the speakers Of the evening, who were
Ambassador Gerard, Vice-Chancellor
Helfferich, Foreign Secretary thinner
mann and Arthur Won Gwinner, direct
or of the Deutsche Bank. In all the
speeches the cordial relationships
existing between the governments OF
the United States and Germany were
emphasized.
Mr.. Gerard's Speech.
Ambassador Gerard, who was
likened by Director Won Gwinner to
the peace dove Of Noah's Ark" told
Of the sympathy in the United States
for German charity work. Many promi.
nent persons had handed him checks
for the German Red Cross. On his
return to Germany, he said, he had
delivered to the different German re-
lief funds about 100000 marks. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Gerard said:
Never since the beginning of the
war have the relations between Ger
many and the United States been as
cordial as now. I have brought back
an olive branch from the President
or don't you consider the Presidents
