Kentucky Leads In August Sales OF

There was no preliminary cam.

announcement was amde that il
was desired to sell $250.OOO Of thu
Certificates during the two weeks.
a quota of $4,000 was fixed for
each state-Missouri, Arkansas and
kentucky, $4,000 for the City o.
st. Louis, which comprises the St
Louis Metropolitan District.
The total subscription accepted ty
the Federal Reserve District was
$322,5OO, and the subscriptions re
oeiyed after Moon Tuesday would
largely have exceeded this figure
could the orders have been filled.
But the Certificates for August were
priced at $S3S and any order that was
received after noon Tuesday, Septem
Der End. could only have been ac-
cepted at the September price. And
then it must be shown that the pur-
chase was made in August, and the
order mailed during that month.
SO satisfactory was the result of the
sale that Federal Director Wilson has
decided for another selling campaign
this month. The quota this month is
just double that of the August quo
ia, and it is planned to sell $500
900
Reports from the first day o. Sep
TENDER selling are most encouraging
and the indications are that the quo

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-War time
prohibition lis constitutional, the SUI
preme court today decided.
Enforcement OF the act must con
tinue until peace is proclaimed, the
court decreed.
The decision was sweeping vic
tory for the contentious of the pro
hibitionists and the government. 1t
means that the millions Of gallons
CT intoxicating liquors now stored
throughout the country. and valued
at about $1,000. 900. will be a
near total loss unless peace is pro-
claimed before constitutional prohi-
bition becomes effective.
The court held that the provision
of the war time act stating that the
prohibition shall end at the conclu-
4 sion Of the war can have no other
legal meaning than the proclamation
Of peace.
BECAUSE OF the decision, the gov
ernment will lose $440. 100000 in
revenue from whisky alone, unless
the ban is lifted before January 16.
The opinion was read by Justice
Brandeis.
The courts decision means the
clamping down again of the lid in
all sections where 1T was lifted by
federal court tnjunctions, and sub
jects all who thus sold intoxicating
liquor to prosecution.
In Louisville. st. Louis, New Or
leans and Providence, r. l., courts
held the act unconstitutional.
In New York, Boston, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Chicago. along the Pa
cific coast and other places the act
was upheld.

William Marshall Bullitt, Of Chicago,
and Walter G. Noyes, of New York.
The decision of the court does not
] settle whether 2.75 per cent beer can
be sold under war time prohibition.
BY Unanimous Vote.
| WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-In a de-
cision that swept aside all contentious
OF the liquor interests, the supreme
court today by unanimous vote deciar-
cd that war time prohibition is con-
stitutional.
1t must continue in force until the
president Or congress proclains peace.
The decision probably means defeat
J Of all efforts to dispose Of the huge
, stocks of liquor now in the country be-
fore constitutional prohibition be-
comes effective.
rhe action today does not settle
| the constitutionality of the Volstead
enforcement act or Of the legality OF
the sale of 2.T5 per cent.
The decision read by Justice Bran
deis before court crowded with at
torneys for the liquor interests ana
the prohibition forces took up the con-
tentions of liquor interests In their
attack on the law and then flatly de-
cided that there was no sound foun-
dation for them.
The cases decided today were an
appeal from the Louisville federal
court. where the act had been held
unconstitutional and an Injunction
granted restraining the government
reyeue officers from prohibiting the
removal of liquor from bond, and one
from the New York court, where the
law had been upheld. Justice Bran
deis. deviating from the usual custom
of the court, did not keep the large
crowd in suspense until after the
reading of the opinion before an
nouncing the final decision, but an
nounced that "the decision OF the
Louisville court is reversed and that
OF the New York court affirmed.
The four contentious of the liquor
interests, which the court sWept
aside as not having a legal founda-
tion, were:
That the war time prohibition law
deprived citizens OF their property
without just compensation. IN viola
tion of the fifth amendment; that II
has become void through the cessa-

pealed by the provision OF the con-
stitutional amendment allowing IL
ouor interests year in which to dis
nose OF their stocks; that 1t expired
with the termination of demobiliza-
tion.
The refusal of the court to agree
to any of these contentious makes
the decision SO sweeping that the
LIQUOR interests, it is believed, now
have no way OF knocking out the
law.
Answering the first contention. the
court held that the liquor interests
cannot expect the government to
comnensate them. The opinion tndi-

BY such auspicious title Is the for
mer heavy weight boxing champion OF
the world being hailed in Mexico.
Lii Arthur made his debut in the
bull ring this afternoon before huge
crowd. He scored a technical knock.
out over two large bulls after real
fight during which he was felled
twice, almost for the count. He
proved himself an able jumper on two
occasions by clearing the high wall OF
the enclosure with an enraged toro's
horns close to his anatomy.
Jack was given great ovation
when he strobe across the ring. He
scorned the conventional outfit OF
the bull fighter and appeared attired
in a stiff collar. shirt sleeves, white
flannel trousers and duo-colored sport
shoes A flashy multi-colored torea'
doris cape was thrown about his
shoulders. His head was bare and the
sun beat down illuminating the mil
lion dollar smile" as of old.
His white wife sat IN rfngside
box and in accordance with the GUS
tom of bestowing the cape on the lady
OF the toreador's choice, Jack bowed
elaborately and handed it up to her.
The bull then entered and Jack
wayedsa red flag. The bull rushed
him and Jack feinted and jabbed with
his old time cleyerness. The bull. how
ever, found an opening and charged
at the mid-section of his colored oppo-
nent.
Jack clinched his horns and they
went down. After several more
rounds, Johnson rammed the spear
between the front launches and the
bull was out for the count.
Some mistake was made by the
Stage hands, and the second bull was
released before Jack had completed
responding to the applause. He was
still bowling in low graceful sweeps
when the new bull charged at his
rear. He made six foot leap and
landed in one of the boxes.
This exhibition took all the fight
out of the bull and he absolutely re-
fused to be anything but congenial
when John Arthur returned to the
ring. An assistant speared the ami
NAL, but he refused to move, looking
around as If to spot sponge that he
might toss in the ring.
Jack finally became exhausted try
ing to pick fight out of the bull and
exited in a riot of applause.
