FIGHT FOR ITS BEER
OPENED IN NEW YORK
Brewing Company Sues to Restrain
Collector of Internal Revenue
From Interfering.

NEW YORK, March 19-The Jacob
Hoffman Brewing Company, bringing
a test suit in the interest of the
United States Brewers Association. to-
day applied to the federal district
court for an injunction restraining the
collector of internal revenue and the
United States district attorney from
beginning any proceedings to inter-
fere with its contemplated production
|of beer Of "a per cent alcoholic con-
!tent.
The complaint of the Hoffman Com
pany, Mr.. Guthrie said. is based on the
opinion offered by his firm and E,lihI
Root that beer of the strength indj-
Gated, which brewers asserted was not
intoxicating, could be legally mann
factured and distributed under the
presidential proclamations, issued by
authority of the food conservation
laws, prohibiting the use of grains in
the brewing of intoxicating beverages.
In this opinion Messrs. Root and
Guthrie expressed the belief that the
government. instead of proceeding
"summarily by way of seizure and
arrest" would cooperate "to bring
about a speedy determination by the
courts of the grave question in
yolved."
A legal classification of 90 per cent
beer as Notwithstanding, sustained
by the United States Supreme Court

nary procedure, ii was said, a dis
trict attorney cannot be enjoined
from taking action against an alleged
violator of the law or government
regulations. However, because of the
extensive interests involved in the

FOR 0VER-DcEtIt fttGHf
Lieut.. Commander Bellinger Order
ed Here to Aid in Preparation
of Plans.

Lieut. Commander Bellinger has
been ordered from Norfolk to Wash
ington for work in connection with
the preparation of plans for the trans
atlantic fight to be undertaken by a
big Navy seaplane some time in the
spring. 1t was said today at the Navy
Department that no orders had been
issued for the fight itself, and that
in all probability the plane would not
start across the Atlantic until some
time in May. The pilot has not been
selected.
Tentative plans for the fight pro-
vide for placing destroyers every few
hundred miles along the route, SO that
at no time will the big plane be un-
accompanied. The route of the flight
has not definitely been determined
upon, but probably will be from some
point on the North Atlantic coast via
the Azores to France or Great Britain.
The sea plane will be equipped with
wireless, and by means of relay
through the destroyers it will be able
to maintain constant communication
with shore.

Justice Gould on Validity
of Act.
ORDERS CASE TO JURY

Chief Justice Mccoy of the District
Supreme Court today declined to fol-
low the decision of Justice Gould, hold
ing the Salisbury act unconstitutional.

The chief justice spoke of the salutary
effect or the act in the great war emer-
gency and expressed his view that. the

the government with the Congress, an
act should not be declared unconstitu-
tional unless it was clearly so. Such
ruling should be left to an appellate
tribunal. he suggested where the
several justices would have the bene-
fit of conferences and mature con-
sideration.

tice, the act ought to be held consti-
tutional. even by the United States
Supreme Court" The ruling of the

Hay owner of the property.
The case was heard in the Munich
pal Court last July and came up to-
day for jury trial on the tenants

tenant, offered to prove that the land
lord had not shown necessity for the
premises as required by the Salisbury
act. Attorneys Jeffords and Dutton.

act unconstitutional and cited the re-
cent decision of Justice Gould. The
case will be passed on by the jury.

May Have to Yield.
That is the idea of the administra-
ton hackers. 1t is not the conception
of all democrats, however, and is ut
terly repudiated by most republicans
in the Senate. If the administration
men are correct in their assumption
that the mass of the people will ac-
cept anything to get the league of ma
tions, the protesting senators may
have to yield under the pressure to be
brought by such a wave of public
sentiment.
The best judgment of some of the
men in public life still remaining in
Washington after the adjournment of

another turn in the ever-shifting

amended SO as to protect the Monroe
doctrine, the Preside t will find it
necessary to come hor.- and exert his

president of tn e Savings Union Ba nix

as much a mystery early today as
when Mr.. Greenwood, aroused by the

Police Obtain Slight Clues.
The police believed they had two
slender clues. consisting of six small
pieces of galvanized iron removed
from the body by surgeons along with
bit of lead, fragments of brick and
scraps of clothing, and the fact that
in January, 1918, d letter received by
Mr.. Greenwood demanded delivery of
5000 at a certain spot under penalty
of having his home destroyed by an
explosion
The letter was signed &c. c. of c.
which initials also were appended to a
threatening letter received by Gov

ecutive mansion at Sacramento was

police to believe that the same persons
were responsible for both explosions.
Points Not Explained.
Nothing had been developed 4oday
to show whether the explosive was
hurled at Mrs. Greenwood. whether
she picked it up and it exploded in
her hands or whether she caused the
detonation by stumbling over it, Nor
had anything developed to Indicate the
