the South via this port, and some Of it will be
taken from the local port
There was some eminent on the release in

RAILROADS HIT
! new HIGH PRICE
Advances from One to Two
Points Occur in Active
Trading.
By BROADAN WALL.

New York, March 3.-New high
records were again made in the
stock market today. This was par
ticularly true of speciaIties in which
pools are active. The opening was
strong and prices continued upward
until the early afternoon when real
izing sales developed and caused a
recession of about a point in the
most active issues. The undertone
at the close was considered strong.
Increased interest appeared in the
railroad shares. Reading was the
leader of this group, and at one time
showed gain of more than one
point. Low priced rails were fav-
ored and advances ranking from one
to two points were recorded in those
issues.
Call money continued firm around
per cent. Brokers reported that
there was plenty of money avail
able for loans with indications that
this condition will prevail the bal
ance- of this week. Commission
house business continued to be con-
fined almost entirely to professional
traders.
stocks OF tire companies were again
in good demand. with Kelly Spring.
field the favorite. This issue rose to
q new high price OF IL S-4 which rep
resented a gain of more than points.
L. S. Cast Iron and Pipe was one
of the few stocks that did not par
ticipate in the upward movement 1t
lost more than a point on light Of
ferings. Directors of the American
Car and Foundry Company met and
declared the regular dividend.

DON'T ASK ASKREN;
ASK UNCLE SAMUEL
ATTORNEY GENERAL REFERS
INQuiRERS ABOUT BOOZE TO
DECISION or U. S. SUPREME
COURT.

The question often asked now is
May bring or ship alcoholic bev-
erages into dry New Mexico for my
own private quse2,,
The recent decision of the us,
supreme court declaring that intoxi
eating liquors for private use may
NOT be brought into a state which
has adopted prohibition In any form,
is mentioned imam opinion which At
.torney General o. o. Askren has sent
to G. G. Nichols, agent Of the d. &
n. G. railroad company and OF the
American Express company at Lum-
berton. But Mr.. Askren declares
that it is not the duty Of the attorney
general Of New Mexico to construe
federal statutes. His letter is Of I'M
usual interest. It is as follows:
dear Sir:
Your query, rs there n law in
effect prohibiting shipment of intox.
icating liquors into New Mexico for
personal or medicinal use, which was
propounded to me by letter Of Jan
18th, is answered as follows;
article XIII of the Constitution
OF the State of New Mexico prohibits
all persons, associations, or corpora
stions from importing into this state
iany liquors or beverages containing
alcohol for the purposes of sale, bar
ter or gift. However, denatured al
cohol or grain alcohol when intended
to be used for medicinal, mechanical
or scientific purposes only, or wine
intended to be used for sacramental
purposes only, may be shipped into
this state under said article.
This article OF the constitution does
not prohibit the shipping into this
state Of such liquors for personal use
only. At the present time there is
no other state law on this subject.
However, do not be misled by this
opinion rendered as to the effect Of
the laws now existing in New Mexico
on this subject, because since the peo-
pie OF this state have adopted the
prohibition amendment, the Reed
amendment as found In section S739a
OF the u. g. Compiled Statutes 1918,
Compact Edition, entitled 'Transpor-
tation of Intoxicating Liquors Into
Prohibition States effects the trans
portation OF certain liquors into this
state.
"A recent decision OF the supreme
court Of the United States evidently
holds that by reason Of the provi-
sions Of ghe Webb-K Kenyon act, and
the said Reed amendment, intoxicat-
ing liquors for personal use may not
be shipped in to a state which has
adopted prohibition in any form.
1T Is not the duty Of the Attorney |
