SuStaiIlS Attack On
 VOIStead ACt Status
FEDERAL JUDGE EVANS IN EFFECT HOLDS WARTIME PROHIBITION ACT AS BEING
 UNCONSTITUTIONAL,

Louisville, Nov. 13-Judge Walter Evans, In Federal district court to- day, in effect for the second time, held war time prohibition unconstitu- tional, sustained an attack on the constttutionality of Volstead enforce ment act, and granted an injunction restraining E1wood Hamilton, col lector of internal revenue for Ken lucky and District Attorney W. V. Gregory from interfering with the sale by two Louisville distilleries of their floor stock of tax paid whiskey.
 Judge Evans declared from the bench yesterday that he was firmly of the opinion" that war time prohi- bition is unconstitutional and indi- cated a disposition to grant an in junction restraining the government from interfering with sale of the whiskey known as floor stock, owned by the companies.
 In similar suit recently, Judge Evans declared the war prohibition act unconstitutional and granted an injunction to the Kentucky Distiller- ies and Warehouse Company forbid ding interference by the government with the sale of approximately 69,- 100000 gallons of whiskey owned by the plaintiff. This case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court, where a hearing on it's probably will take place next week.

TO START NIGHT SESSIONS TO END
 DORSEN'S CASE
Banks Would End Complex Case Before Janu-
 ary l.

In order to finish the long drawn out Dorsen case, Referee Banks has ordered that night sessions be held. The first overtime session will be held tonight and the referee hopes by this means to have the case end before he takes office as a judge of the Superior court.
 Harry Dorsen told c. A. Berwin on July l, 1918, that he and his brother were trying to obtain a loan of s25, ,000 from the Wheeler Brothers and he wanted Merwin to hurry up with a statement which would show the financial condition of the company as of June 30, according to Berwin's tes- timony today.
 Berwin testified that shortly after wards he had a talk with the Wheel CTS and they told him that they would not loan the Dorsens two cents, and spoke so disparagingly of the Dorsen Brothers that he did not tell them of Wheeler's statements
 It was shown that checks in pay ment of the loan of the Royal Ad- justment Co. were made to c. B. Will lett and not to the company. Der win said that these checks were made so at the request of Abe Dorsen so that the First Bridgeport Bank would not know that the money had been borrowed from a company, as if that were known 1t would get them in bad with the bank, they having told the bank that they had borrowed the money from & friend whom they could repay at any time.

GARFIELD ID ATTEND
 CONFERENCE THAT IS
 TO NEGOTIATE SCALI
I2uO OPERATORS AND 100 REPRESENTA- TIVES OF MINERS TO REACH WASHING
 TON NTONIGHT-EXPECTD DIFFICULTY AS TO DATE OF NEW SCALE

Washington, Nov. 13-FueI Administrator Garfield today accepted an invitation of Secre- tary Wilson to attend the con- ference here tomorrow be- tween coal miners and opera tors to negotiate a new wage scale. It was understood that the principal reason for invit- ing pr. Garfield was tN ohtaip his advice as to how much of any wage increase granted lshould be passed on to the con- SuIner.
 The scope Of the coming confer ence, officials said, will be broader than the negotiation of a new wage scale, and the interests of the public in the future prices of coal will be taken into consideration.
 More than 200 operators and about 100 representatives of the miners are expected to arrive tonight and to- morrow morning for the conference, which will be called to order by Sec retary Wilson at II o'clock at the in terior department.
 Indianapolis, Nov. 13-Representa- tives of the United Mine Workers of America, who will participate in the conference in Washington tomorrow with the operators and Secretary of Labor Wilson, today are on their way to the capital in an optimistic frame of mind. They believe that if the mine owners are eually well disposed a new wage agreement can be reach ed in a very short time.
 The one possible obstruction to speedy agreement is the question of when a new wage agreement will be- come effective. The miners will insist that this be at an early date

Centralia, Wash, Nov. 13-George Paxton, Centralia, former soldier, was fired upon before daybreak today as he was patro1ling a road between Centralia and ChehaHs, near the bridge where the alleged Industrial Worker of the World was lynched Tuesday night. Police, national guardsmen and former soldiers searched vainly for several hours for the man who fired the shot. Paxton was not hit.
 The man who was lynched here on Tuesday night after four members of the American Legion had been shot and killed during an armistice day celebration, was identified early today as Ernest Everetts, by a woman who conducted the rooming house where Everetts lived. He was wSrking here as an I. W. W. organizer, the woman said.

Washington, Nov. 13-The Prince of Wales, as one of the last acts of his official visit in Washington, will see President Wilson late today. He expects to call at the White House for an informal visit with the President and Mrs. Wilson at 5:30 o'clock. President Wilson probably will en- certain his royal guest while seated in an invalid's chair, his condition having improved since the visit of the royal Belgians, when he was fore ed to receive them reclined in bed. During his visit at the White House he will take tea with Mrs. Wilson.
 A trip to Mount Vernon by motor at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon was another event on the days program.

Vice President Marshall and Secretary Lansing were among those in the party to accompany him.
