SWEEPING DECISION
FAVORING PROHIBITION
United States Supreme Court Declares
Webb-kenyon Law Constitutional
Can't Ship Liquor to "Drys."

Washington, Jan. 10.--In the most
sweeping of all decisions upholding
prohibition laws the supreme court
has upheld as constitutional 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 importation in inter-
state commerce of liquor for personal
use.
After having been vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft, who held it unconstitu-
tional, and having been repassed by
Congress over his veto, the law was
sustained by the supreme court by a
vote of to 2. Leaders of the prohi-
bition movement declare the decision
is to their fight second only in i'm
portance to the proposed constitutional
amendment.
Lawyers for liquor interests who
heard the decision admitted it upheld
and applied the law "in it's fullest
sense"

Saved

For days the ship had lain becalmed.
The crew lay about the deck, sunk in
the depths of despair. Suddenly there
was a shout of triumph from the d.
rection of the captains cabin, and the
ancient mariner rushed on deck, his
face TRANSPORTED with joy.
"I've got it boys! We're saved!"
"See!" he went on, there's my pipe.
And here in my right hand is match,
my very last match, the only match
left aboard the ship. Watch!"
Trembling with excitement, the crew
watched around him as in breathless
silence he put his pipe to his lips and
struck the match.
With a roar and a rush mighty
wind sprang up from the west, and as
the match blew out, amid wild cheer
ing, the sails filed out and the great
ship went plunging on her way.-Dan
Gliding, Missouri.

Washington, Jan. IL. = Although
close names and amounts" involving
high men in official life if Congress or
dered an inquiry into the alleged leak
in advance of publications of President
Wilson's peace note, there are indica-
tions that the House rules committee
is about to drop its hearings on the
Wood resolution for such an investga-
ton and return the resolution to the
House with an adverse report.
Democratic members of the commit
tee freely expressed their WEAKNESS
over the proceedings of the past few
days and their conviction not only that
nothing to warrant further inquiry had
been brought out so far, but that Mr..
Lawson knew nothing to support his
sweeping charges.
Lawson Is Defiant.
Mr.. Lawson continued to defy the
committee, refusing over and over
again to give the names of the men
he said he had been told profited by
the leak" after suggesting that he
could name an official higher up than
any yet mentioned.
Will Hear Others.
The hearing will continue a short
time, at least to give several of the
men mentioned in the various reports
and rumors related before the COM
mittee an opportunity to make state
ment.
During his examination, Mr.. Law
son frankly admitted he was not par
ticularly concerned with the so-called
leak" itself, but that his purpose in:
agitating the subject primarily was to-
bring about a thorough investigation
of the New York Stock exchange that
would lead to incorporation and fed
eral regulation.

Bernard Baruch of New York,
whose name has been mentioned in
