COURT GIVES LIQUOR
A KNOCKOUT BLOW

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. l0.-That the
decision by the United States SUI
preme court upholding the Webb
Kenyon act will enable state leg
islatures to prohibit the shipment
of any whiskey or other intoxicat-
ing beverages into a dry stare
the general opinion expressed by
Atlanta lawyers and that this au-
thority will open the way to an
other hardfought prohibition
contest in the next session of the
Georgia legislature is likewise
generally expected.
In framing the present prohibi-
ton laws in this state the legisla-
ture did not attempt to prohibit
the shipment of any Intoxicating
beverages to private individuals,
but only undertook to limit the
same. This was done because
there was some doubt in the
minds of the prohibition leaders
as to the constitutionality of alb
solute prohibition against import
ing intoxicants. But under the
supreme courts decision with re-
gard to the Webb-Kenyon act,
there appears to be in interference
absolute prohibition, and the way
with interstate commerce in such
is now open for state legislatures
to pass genuine 'bone dry laws"

SUFFRAGETTES INVITED
TO WARM THEMSELVES

Washington, Jan. 13-Freezing
winds played such havoc with the
sutfragist Silent sentinels" on
guard at the main gates of the
White House today that Presi-
dent Wilson was moved to send
a messenger to invite the women
in to get warm. The invitation
was not accepted and at the head
quarters of the congressional I'm
ion for Woman Suffrage it was
said the vigil would be continued
in spite of the forecast of still
colder weather for tomorrow.
This was the second day of the
unions new campaign to force its
cause upon the presidents atten-
ton, which it is planned to CON
tinue until March 4. The twelve
"scntinels" with their banners de-
handing to know what the presi-
dent will do for suffrage marched
to their posts this morning In mil
itary style. The banners stayed
all day but at times they were
standing unsupported against the
iron fence.
In spite of frequent reliefs and
the use of hot bricks and much
drinking of hot chocolate, the
guards now and again dropped
their banner staffs to- seek shelter
behind stone pillars hanking the
gateway.
The president passed the SEN
tinels only once as he returned
from his morning game of golf.
He merely smiled.
A message to Dutch sufragist
was delivered today by the Con
gressional Union to the Neither
lands legation. The Netherlands
women were congratulated for
placing sentinels outside the par
lament building in Aolland dur
ing the last few weeks.
