Laskey Expected to Rule
Users May Import Liquor

Ever since Ringgold Hart. Assistant
Corporation Counsel. passed the
bucl' on the question Of the applica-
ton of the Reed bone-dry law to the
District to United States District At
torney John f. Laskey. the latter's
sands of queries.
Neither Mr.. Easkey or any of his
assistants wishes to be quoted. but
well informed persons about the
courthouse say the Reed law cannot
restrict the importation into the Dis
trict OF liquor for personal use.
The Reed law, it is said on good au-
thOrity. does not mention the District,
nor was II the intention OF Senator
Reed. author of the bill. TO include the
District. The law specifically states
that it is unlawful to ship liquor into
States and Territories" for purposes
of interstate commerce IN violation Of
the prohibitory laws OF said States or
Territories.
The question OF whether the law
should apply to the District was not
even discussed in Congress when the
bill was up. The Abercrombie amend
ment included the District, but failed
of adoption. 1t read:
"WhosOever shall order, purchase or
cause intoxicating liquors to be ship
ped in interstate commerce, except for
sacramental. scientific, medicinal or
mechanical purposes, into any State
or Territory or tho District of Column
bia shall be punished rs aforesaid"
Numerous presidents have been
quoted in which the courts have de-
oided that in specifying States and
Territories, Congress did not mean
the District, or it would have said So
The question as TO whether the Reed
law is applicable to the District
piVots on a decision of the United
States Supreme Court that "all the
laws OF the United States not To-
caily inapplicable, should have the
sahe force, and effect within the Dis
triot as elsewhere in the United
States"
Since this decision several years
ago, several cases have come before
the highest tribunal which caused IT
to restate that decision IN terms
which well Informed lawyers describe
as constituting a well defined loop
hole in the Reed law for the Dis
trict.
The courts have ruled that in legis-
lation by Congress in reference to
the District, the history OF legisla-

ton by that body shows that when
said Congress intended to legislate for
the District OF Columbia, the habit
has been to do so in express terms. ;"
This decision, a later one than that
previously mentioned, is the one on
which is based the generally accepted
contention that the Reed law does
not and was not intended to apply
TO the District.
The Supreme Court has taken the
view that the criminal codes OF the
District, and of the United States are
separate and distinct instruments,
that the effect of separation is i'm
portant and necessarily had its pur-
pose; that the codes had in the main
special spheres of operation and pro-
visions Accommodated to such spheres"
Congress enacted a separate code
for Alaska. So IL did also for the
District of Columbia.

ritories and the District, they can

BUREAU BUSHES
WORK TO AVERT
STAMP famine
Three Shifts Of Presses Are
Turning Out 50,000,-
600 a Day.

The millions of letters written to
and from the training cantonments
and army and navy stations through
out the country, plus the vast increase
in the business of the United States
due to the war, has created an I'M
precedented demand for stamps ac-
cording to officials of the Bureau or
Engraving and Printing.
Three shifts Of presses are working
each day at the bureau turning out
stamps at the rate of $1,000, 900 a day.
Ordinarily 100000 stamps are made
I'm a day at the bureau, assistant d.
TectOr erguson said last night Short
ly the daily average of the bureau
will be increased to more than co.
0O0 600. Before the revenue law in
creasing postage rates went into eff
feet postoffices throughout the coun-
try were supplied with quantities of
the new Scent stamp and a reserve
stock of zoo, 10000 stamps OF that de-
nomination was held at the bureau.
This reserve stock has become ex-
hausted, bureau officials say, and
strenuous efforts are necessary to
keep pace with the demands.
One-cent Stamps In Demand.
The new law also increased the rate
of postage on postal and post cards
from 1 to cents. It would seem
that the demand for the 1-cent stamp
naturally would decline. and that the
2-cent stamp would supplant the one.
and the Scent the 2-cent stamp. Such
is not the case, however, Mr.. Fergu-
son declared. The demand for the
I-cent and Scent stamps has increas-
ed sharply. while that for the 2-cent
denomination has declined.
The 3-cent stamp turned out at the
bureau is not a new one. The same
design and denomination has been in
use for years, though its use has not
been anywhere near as general as al
present.

GR0CERS FOIL
FAMILY RUSE
TO SAvESUGAR
Cuban Crop, However, Elk.
pected to End Shortage
in Capital.

Frantic efforts are being made by
the housewives of Washington to OBJ
tain sugar. The shortage OF sugar.
which is general throughout the
country. became in the city more
than a week ago and there has been
no relief.
Buyers have recognized the barrier
raised by dealers to prevent hoard
ing by private families, in allowing
only two pounds of the commodity
to a customer at one time and are
trying to find means to circumvent It.
Children Of large families are sent
to different stores to buy the al
lotted two pounds. thus obtaining
many times two pounds. To prevent
this another rule has been laid down
by many dealers. No sugar will be
sold to anyone unless some other
article Is purchased.
While this has cut down the prac-
tice II has not stopped II entirely,
for the order for the supplies for
the day has been divided, part of Il
being bought in various stores and
in each store as much sugar as Is
allowed is bought.
Two large retail syndIcates have ex-
hausted their supply of sugar. Many
large wholesalers have doled out 10
the retailers their last bit and their
bins are empty.
While the incoming Louisiana sugar
crop will tend to ease the shortage
felt In the East somewhat, general
and complete relief will not be ex-
perienced until the arrival of the
Cuban crop.
The Cuban sugar crop this year is
the greatest in many years, IL IS
said, exceeding that of last year by
fifty per cent, and totalling $500. OOC
tons. The great crop, sugar mer
say, will be sufficient to satisfy the
needs Of the world. and little wan,
is expected after its arrival in the
United States.

LOCAL HOUSING

Secretary Grant Prepared to
Aid Those Seeking Ac-

washington's housing problem is
solved.
According to Secretary Thomas
Grant. of the Washington Chamber OF
Commerce, the room and registration
bureau of the chamber. established
week ago to aid room-seekers OF
Washington in finding attractive quar-
tiers, is finding itself deluged with Of
fers.
The statement that a crisis had been
reached in filling up Washington with
Its flood of war workers is. according
10 the secretary. definitely proved I'M
true. There are plenty OF rooms. The
crowd coming in can easily be accom-
modated.
Five Hundred Names Listed.
Five hundred names. with accom-
modations for more than 100 persons.
are listed with the registration bureau.
And scores more are coming in daily.
Before the end of the current week
it is hoped that a printed list will be
ready for the chiefs OF the different
departments and that distribution OF
many OF the lists will be made.
The big problem to be solved Is the
direction OF the stranger as to where
he can most benefit himself in the
selection OF the rooms.
At present when he goes to his de-
partment, or the place of his future
employment, and asks where he can
find room and board, he is promptly
referred to the bureau of registra-
ton at the Chamber of Commerce,

fOrsaking his home every evening,
and taking his place at the work desk
in the big bay window above the
Tea Cup Inn. He has been assisting
the office force working at the ar
rangement Of the names for the past
three days.
He now appeals through The Herald
to persons desiring to supply room
and board to cOnfine themselves only
TO the most essential details and par
ticulars of their offers. What he
wants he says is this:

Heretofore the poultry association
has had separate show and offered
it's premiums independently of the
Fair Association, but this year on ac-
count of a lack Of funds, it is unable
to hold separate show. The Fair
Association, however, has been very
generous and has offered premiums
for all classes of birds, and it is hoped
there will be a fine display
There will be no entrance fee in

Clarendon Poultry Association owns
seven handsome silver cups and of

association is open for members all

just pay fee of fifty cents and be-
come member of the association.
These cups were given by the four

will be on exhibit several weeks be-
fore the fair, in the window of the
