MANY PRISONERS TAKEN

BUENOS AIRES. Jan. 13-(By the Associated Press. )-The total number of prisoners taken by the police :s now reported to be about 2000. The inter- rogation of Russian prisoners reveals that nearly all of them were fugitives from Russia on account of revolutiCn- ary activities there. The prisoners in- clude 200 Catalonians, who fled after the Barcelona uprising which termi- mated with the execution Of Prof. Fran cisco Ferrer, in 1909.
 The attacks Thursday night on po- lice headquarters and police stations were more serious, it is learned, than was at first admitted. The fighting began in front of the congressional palace, five blocks from headquarters in an effort to draw the police and troops from headquar.ers Meanwhile the roofs of buildings and the streets nearby were crowded with the attack ing forces, awaiting the signal.
 Concerted Attack
 Two auto trucks loaded with troops started for the congressional palace but were fired on and the automobiles heturned to headquarters just as the attacking parties poured in from four directions, entirely surrounding the building which occupies an entire square.
 The Buenos Aires papers today say that the only thing that saved the sit uatiOn was the arrival of General Del lepaine while the battle was at it's height and his immediate assumption of supreme command, replacing the chief of police.
 AbQSt the same hour several police stations received telephone messages for assistance. Attacks were made against these stations a few minutes after the alarm was given. The plan was to take all police stations, then the other government buildings and to proceed with the overthrow of the immediately. .

COBLENZ, Sunday. Jan. 12.-(By the Associated Press. .)-The Prince of Wales, who has been visiting the American area of occupation as the guest of Major General Dickman, re- turned to the British sector this after noon. He said goodbye to General Dickm8n at a luncheon at which he was the guest of Major General Hines in the castle of the Prince of Wied at Niewied.
 Since his arrival Tn I..e american zone the prince had been treated more as an ordinary captain, the rank des- ignated by his uniform, than as the heir to the British throne.
 At the dance the prince attended last night it was intended that it should be exempted from cutting in" which meant that one officer could claim the partner Of another officer, there not being enough nurses from the American and British armies to go around One officer accidentally 'cut in on the prince. Ire passed the incident aside and for the re- mainder of the evening "cut in" and submitted to the loss of his partner with the same grace as the others.
 The first girl that the prince danced with was Miss Agnes Kann, a nurse of Baltimore. When the music began the prince was standing near Miss Kann and at once offered her his arm. Afterward he danced virtually every number. treating the American and ln-.s n. esrUn

REED AMENDMENT UPHELD BY COURT
CRv RevIew Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Statutes of dry" states permitting persons to import or personally bring in limited amounts of intoxicants for their own use were in effect nullified by the so- called Reed bone dry" amendment en- acted by congress, the supreme court held today in an opinion reversing the federal court for the southern district of West Virginia.
 Justice McReynolds, in a dissenting opinion in which Justice Clarke con- curred, held that the Reed amendment was not an interstate commerce regu- latory measure, but a direct meddling with state affairs and as such purely beyond the power of the federal gov ernment.
 Case From West Virginia
 The case came up on an appeal of the government from the lower court decision dismissing proceedings brought against Dan Hill for carrying a quart of liquor into West Virginia for his personal use as permitted by the state law. The trial court held that transportation did not come with in the meaning of the Reed amend ment, which, it held, was intended to apply only to actual shipments of liquor. The supreme court remanded the case for retrial.
 In rendering the majority opinion Justice Day said:
 Tn view of the authority of con gress over the subject matter and the enactment of previous legislation em- bodied in the Wilson and Webb-Ken- yon laws We have no question that congress enacted this statute because of its belief that in states prohibiting the sale and manufacture of intoxicat- ing liquors for beverage purposes, the facilities of interstate commerce should be denied to the introduction of intoxicants by means of interstate commerce, except for the limited pur- poses permitted in the statute which have to do with the liquor when used as a beverage.
 That the state saw fit to permit the introduction of liquor for personal use in limited quantities in nowise in- terferes with the authority of con gross, acting under it's plenary power over interstate commerce, to make the prohibition against interstate ship ment contained in this act. It may ex- ert its authority as in the Wilson and Webb-Kenyon act, having fin view the laws of the state, but it has power of its own which in this instance it has exerted in accordance with it's view of public policy.

The Southern Hardwood Traffic as

Very little lumber is being booked for
export, Mr.. Townshend says, and he

that it does not contemplate changing
its rates at this time. However, the
tendency Of the export trade Is to stiff

higher rates than those published by
the shipping board.

as soon as the situation clears and the
ports are relieved of some of the con-
gestion, through bills of lading on lum-
ber by way of all ports which the traf-
fic association has petitioned for, will
be established by the railroad admins
