WEBB-KENYON LAW
 UPHELD BY COURT
States Are Given Absolute Pow CT in Regulation of Liquor Traffic-Law Was Vetoed by President Taft.

Washington, Jan. 8.-In the most sweeping of all decisions upholding prohibition laws the Supreme Court today upheld as constitutional and valid the Webb-K Kenyon law prohibit ing shipments of liquor from "wet" to "dry" states. It also sustained West Virginia's recent amendment to her law prohibiting importation 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- tained by the Supreme Court by a i vote of to 2. Leaders of the prohi- bition movement say it is second only in importance to the proposed consti- tutional amendment.
 Lawyers for the liquor interests who heard the decision today admitted it upheld and applied the law Gin it's fullest sense."
 Ends Long Controversy.
 Chief Justice White announced the majority opinion, to which Justices Holmes and Vandeventer dissented. Justice McReynolds, while agreeing with the majority decision, did not concur in the opinion.
 "The all-reaching power of the gov ernment over liquor is settled" said the chief justice in announcing the de- cision.
 "There was no intention of Con- gress to forbid individual use of li- quor. 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 Congress has complete authority to prevent paralyzing of state authority Congress exerted a power to co-ordi, nate the national with the state au- thority."
 Wayne E. B. Wheeler, attorney fol the Anti-Saloon League of America said: F
 "The states may now prohibit the possession, receipt, sale and use of in- toxicating liquor and not be hampered by the agencies of interstate com- merce."
