portance of the action enforcing pro-
hibition. the court was asked TO eN-
pedlte consideration Of the cases.
In one case the lower court held
that the act does not prohibit trans
portation OF liquor through a dry
state. In the other proceedings, ap-
pealed from West Virginia. the court
held that while the liquor was
transported into a drv state from
another state II was not transported

tended for personal use and not ior
purposes Of trade
In asking the reversal Of the de-
Csion affecting ship0ents Of liquor
through a dry state. the government
in its brief declared that whenever
liquor is being transported IN inter.
state commerce and not for one OF
the expected purposes and crosses
the line Of a dry state into that STATE

lated whether such liquor he intend D.
ed for consumption or sale or only
