STOCKS AND BONDS
BY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Stoeks were dull and uncertain of tone at the out set of today's short session, but be- came fairly active and firm toward the end, short covering acelerating the irregular trend.
 Recent favorites in the motor and oil divisions were superseded by stan dard rails, notably the Pacifics, tobac- cos and food and sugar shares, the latter making significant response on greatly enlarged dealings to the ap- preaching withdrawal of federal con- trol.
 The coal situation and Mexican af- fairs again were included among the restraining influences of the day. Several of the steels and equip ments were under pressure.
 There was active trading in bonds.
 Another actual decrease of about 100000 in clearing house loans and discounts reduced the total of that item to $5,1O5. .SO3,OO0 ,or approx imately $S30, 100000 under the high peak of two months ago.

more than IA per cent of alcohol by

above zero Whether such alcoholic con-
tent as that thus defined IL or is not in

Such a provision might open a very
wide door to evasions of the law. AS
the legislation now rapidly passing
through the Federal Congress fixes an
alcoholic content very much less than
that prescribed by this bill, and as the
Federal law when passed will be SUI

WAR TIME DRY ACT
UPHELD BY COURT
Constitutionality Affirmed by
Federal Judge.

The constitutionality of the wartime
prohibition act was affirmed yesterday
by Judge Thomas 1. Chatfleld of the
United States Court. The decision was
handed down in Brooklyn. but was the
outcome OF a Connecticut test case.
Judge Chatfleld sat recently in the place
Of Judge Edwin s. Thomas at New Ha-
ven and heard the case of Stephen j.
Winery, prosecuted for selling intoxicated
liquor 'unlawfully and knowingly before
the conclusion of the present war and
before termination OF rehabilitation, the
date of which is to be determined by the
President"
Winery. backed by the Liquor Dealers
Association of Connecticut, opened a sa-
loon in Meriden and did business after
July 1. To test the law, the liquor men
caused Mlnerys arrest July 8 and he
was arraigned before Judge Chatfleld.
Mnery's counsel, Arnold A. Alling, con-
tended that the wartime prohibition law
was unconstitutional and that 1t had
ceased to be OF force because OF the res
toration of peace.
Judge Chatheld in an opinion which
may go far to fix the status of the
liquor dealers all over the country. now
folds that the act is wholly constitutional
and that demobilizaion has not been ac-
complished. He holds. indeed, that not
even peace has come since the United
States. technically. is still at war with

ASKS AID OF COURT
TO RETAIN PROPERTY
Englishman With German
Name Names Garvan and
Others in His Complaint.

Waldemar Schmidttmann, who says
parents, filed in the county clerks office
yesterday a summons and complaint In
a suit against o. r. Simpkin. Public
Trustee, under the Defence OF the Realm
Act of Great Britain and Ireland; the
English Association of American Bond
& Share Holders: the National City
Bank, Francis p. Caravan. Alien Prop
erty Custodian, and others to restrain
them from taking possession OF his
property.
In the preamble to his complaint,
Schmidttmann explains that when he
was 8 years old. his parents having died.
a wealthy Austrian, whose name he att
erwards assumed. adopted him and took
him to Austria; that his foster-father
was Herman Schmidttmann. owner OF
the Sollstedt potash mines in Germany
and strongly opposed TO the potash
trust; that he took over the active con-
troll of his foster parents mines and de-
veloped them to a point of high pro-
ductive worth. always independent and
outside the control Of the German pot
ash monopoly" When the mines were
sold to the International Agricultural
Corporation, an American organization,
Schmidttmann says he became president
and remained a large stock holder.
Schmidttmann alleges that in 1903
voting trust agreement was entered into
between the company and Thomas w.
Lamont, William n. Shaw, John w.
Fry, J. Du Pratt White and others. as
a result OF which the stock he and bis
foster father held in the company was
turned over to a trustee. The petitioner
states that the interest his foster-father
retained in the company was solely as
! legacy for him.
Schmidtmann says he notified the
Allen Property Custodian OF his status
and of the facts In the case and was
shortly afterward relieved of control of
the company. and that he was unable
to deliver the voting trust certificates.

Tho petitioner states that his foster

stricken with paralysis following a
breakdown due TO the long fight he

Parliament--are neither exhaustive nor
nnal. They are susceptible Of adjust
ment and variation.
The main feature would be that all
powers In the last category should be
transferred to the Irish Parliament. rat
ihed by a majority In both State Legis-
latures.
Tho all ireland executive, responsible
to the all Ireland Parliament, would take
over from the existing Irish executive
the working of the departments actu-
ally transferred or of any new departs
ments that might have to be created as
a result of the transfer.
The composition of the all Irish ex-
ecutive would necessarily be affected by
the condition that the consent Of both
State Legislatures would be necessary
to Its creation. The office OF Lord Lieu
tenant should be continued, but should
be shorn of its political character. 1t
should he similar in character and in
power to that OF the Governor General
of a Dominion. The Lord Lieutenant
would have the right of veto both on
Irish and on State legislation, and in
his office he might be assisted by the
Irish Privy Council. perhaps reconsti-
tuted for the purpose.
1t is proposed further to safeguard
eA'N 'bVA NiCS VI pONh CtoeOo ~ eiV ha'S'
federation by giving to each Legislature
a permanent veto upon the application
to its own State Of any legislation passed
by the all ireland Parliament. This
veto might be extended to cover the nd
ministrative orders of the all Ireland
executive. BY this means each State
would enjoy the position of absolute
Independence within the Irish federation
The chief virtue OF these suggestions
is that they possess the paramount vir-
tue of elasticity. For 700 years the
Irish question has run its troubled
course. 1t can hardly be settled off,
hand and for all time by single legis-
lative act.
1t is not expected that the proposals
will obtain the immediate approval of
either the Ulster Unionists or the ex-
treme Nationalist. They represent
what the Times regards as the basis
for the solution TO be imposed upon
Ireland
It would completely safeguard the
Ulster Unionists' liberties. The Sim
Fem may oppose so full a recognition
of the Ulster claim. but no scheme has
been or can be suggested for the Irish
settlement that the obduracy Of one or
the other OF the great political parties
might not wreck. This scheme Is no
exception.
