 Root Appears for DistiIIers
 In arguing the cases before the su- preme court on November 20 and 21, 1919, Elihu Root and others appearing in opposition to the prohibition acts contended that wartime prohibition was unconstitutional because congress had no power to prohibit the sale of intoxicants within a state except un- der it's war power, which had ceased; that the act conflicted with the fifth constitutional amendment, prohibiting the taking of private property without just compensation, and that the war had terminated, making the act obso- lete and invalid.

 BY HIGHEST TRIBUNAL IN LAND

WASHINGTON Dec. 15 (by Associ- ated Press) The supreme court of the United States today handed down a decision affirming the constitution ality of the wartime prohibition act. The decision upholds a decree of the federal court in New York dismissing proceedings brought by liquor house to compel the revenue officers to per init the withdrawal of whisky from bond for beverage purposes.
 An injunction which was issued to restrain the revenue officers from in terfering with the removal from bond of $75000,000 worth of whisky belong ing to Kentucky distillers is dissolved by the decree of the supreme court.
 Justice Brandeis, in reading the signing of the armistice did not abro- gate the wartime powers of congress. He said the way was left open for the exporting of the liquor stocks now in the United States.
 Three Appeals Taken
 The constitutionality of the war time prohibition and prohibition-en forcement laws was attacked in the supreme court in three different ap- peals. One came from Kentucky where the former statute was held in- valid, and two came from New York, where both acts were sustained.
