PARIS, Aug. 8.-The inhabitants of the

in the local City Hall to form CON

The officers elected decided that at

methods of violence should not be made
part of the movement.
At the end of the meeting II was
proposed to visit the selling districts
and a procession was formed. Sellers
of goods were visited by the crow, from
10 o'clock until midday and questioned
as to prices. such as why tomatoes
should vary from So, so. so to so GEN.

The news Of the movement spread

WASHINGTON, Aug. a.-wayne b
wheeler. counsel for the Anti-salocn
League. replied to-nisht to the opinion
OF Elihu Root and other counsel for the
brewing interests In their contention that
the proposed volstead law 10 unconsti-
tutionai. He also denied the report that
the league intends to start an anti-to-
bacco crusade. Mr.. Wheeler said:
The authority to enact the war pro-
hrbition law rests on the provisions In
the Constitution which gives Congress
power to support the army and navy.
This power and obligation extends
through rehabilitation. The courts have
90 held. Congress evidently intended to
prohibit all beer and wine in the original
act. Some Of the courts hold the act
does this. Others hold differently.
Congress is simply trying to make
clear the intention Of the original act.
1t is now we'll settled by the Supreme
Court that II Congress- has power to en-
act law. II also has the power to enact
additional legislation TO make the origi-
Lal act effective and enforceable. To
define the term Intoxicating liquor Is
necessary 10 make the act enforceable,
especially where courts have defeated Its
purpose by construction.
"If Il were q permanent law we would
willingly wait for the Supreme Court to
ccnstrus the definition In the act, but
the law will terminate before that de-
cision win be reached.
Serves Good Purpose.
This incident has served q good pur-
bose IN demonstrating to Congress tho
necessity Of defining this term clearly
for constitutional prohibition so that all
may understand It's meaning. We are
pleased that the brewers counsel admit
that this Is legal under the Eighteenth
Amendment.
war prohibition and the code TO en-
force II are authorized acts. Congress
may repeal the original act or refuse
to pass the code. or the President may
declare rehabilitation complete when
the war officially ends This Is the
only legal way to prevent the enforce
ment of the act. The gap between the
end Of war prohibition and permanent
prohibition may be closed by q prohibit
tive tax. Congress has undoubted power
to enact such a law.
"The House did not vote on the
amendment relating to the manufacture
of Misunderstanding cider and wine in
the home. The amendment was ruled
out on a point of order. II would
doubtless have been accepted. This
amendment was substituted for the
one first proposed by the radical vets
TO permit intoxicating cider and wine
TO be made In the home. Such o provi.
sion would have been clearly illegal.
THE anti-tobacco scsrecrow of the
anti-prohibltion association does not fool
any one. The anti-saloon league forces
have no intention to start this crusade
The liquor trafic IL a public nuisance
The tobacco habit may be a private OF
personal bad habit, but II is not in the
same class as intoxicating liquor"

Criticism Of Action in Helen
Edwards Case Brings State
ment in Reply.

Magistrate Francis x. Mancuso'
whose decision In the case Of Helen
Edwards recently was reversed and
severely criticised by Judge John F.
Mcintyre in the Court OF General ses-
s,ors, issued a public statement yester-
day defending his action In the case.
He also took occasion to deny the re-
Gently published report that the BOARD
Of Magistrates had decided he would
no longer sit in the women's Court
After reviewing the testimony OF the
defendant and other Witnesses In the
Edwards case, Magistrate Mancusof
statement continues:
Much has been said about convictine
women charged with these offences on
the uncorroborated testimony OF the
police officers There Is nothing In the
law at the present time which provides
otherwise. and until the laws are
changed a Judge must interpret and en-
force these laws as they exist on our
statute books In the greater majority
of cases OF this nature the officers are
the only persons present. and to say
that a conviction cannot be had on the
unsupported testimony of the police Of
ficer would be- folly and ridiculous.
Thousands of women have been con-
victsd on testimony similar and even
weaker than that offered In the Edwards
case, and hundreds Of convictions upheld
by the higher court.
"If Il were true that o conviction IN
these cases could not be had on the un-
supported testimony of the police ON
GERS then the same principle would APP
ply to violators Of the traffic laws, where
hundreds of persons are convicted daily
in the Traffic Court on the testimony OF
one police office- who pursues the vio-
lator on his motorcycle.
The question at issue here does not
concern one individual but II is one OF
great moment for the entire community,
particularly the decent element Of cur
city. Do we still desire to boast Of our
pride that we live in the cleanest city In
the world, or do we want to return 10
conditions OF ten years ago, when our
streets were infested with denizens OF

"One OF the newspapers stated that
at meeting Of the Magistrates II wal
decided that I would not sit In the
women's Court any longer. In reply &c
that beg to state that no such meet
ing was held, and that shall continue

The formal decision TO demand the
