MADE
ON LEGALITY OF
THE DRY. LAW
Retail Liquor Dealers As
ISOLATION of New Jersey
Moves to Smash Supreme
Court Finding.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Permis-
sion to institute original proceed
| ings to have the national prohibition
amendment declared unconstitu-
tional and New Jersey and federal
authorities enjoined from enforcing
| it was asked of the supreme court
today by the Refill Liquor Dealers
Association oil. New Jersey.
This was the first question as to
the validity of the constitutional
amendment to reach the supreme
court. George w. Tucker of New
York presented the motion, together
with printed brief prepared by the
association, and the court will an
nounce later whether permission to
institute the suit will be granted.
In addition to enjoining enforce
ment of the 18th amendment, the
association also would ask All in
junction against enforcement of the
Volstead prohibition enforcement
act.
Defendants named in the proceed
ings were the state of New Jersey.
which refused to ratify the constitu-
tional amendment; Attorney General
Palmer, Joseph L. Bodine, United
States attorney for New Jersey, aud
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Daniel c. Roper.
The associations brief alleged
that the constitutional amendment
was an interference with the state
police powers, a violation of the fifth
constitutional amendment, which
prohibits the taking of private prop
erty without just compensation, that
neither congress nor the state legis.
1atures had authority to propose or
ratify the amendment and that the
amendment when passed by the
house did not receive the support of
two-thirds of the membership, as
the constitution provides, buA only
two-thirds of the members present.
Fight Just Begun.
Chicago, Dec. 16.-Four thousand
of Chicago's 5000 saloons will close
their doors or go into other bust
ness on January |, according to an
estimate today by M. ]. Mccarthy,
secretary of the Illinois Liquor
Dealers Protective association.
I'VE really expected to see
the saloons open up after the SUI
p1eme court action" he said, "and
the decision unfolding wartime pro-
libition took the pep out of the own
crs."
The statement of Levy Mayer,
chief counsel for the liquor inter
ests of the middle west, that
the real fight had not begun"
brought some cheer to the saloon
owners and distillery heads.
This decision is just a scratch
on the surface" he said. "The corr
stitutionality Of the 18th, or prohi-
bition, amendment will be attacked
in few days. None of the sues
tons involved in the case just de-
cided has any relation to or any
bearing on the momentors fight tina.
will be made on the amendment.
That fight will involve fundamen-
tai, controlling and far-reaching
questions that go TO the very struc-
ture and formation of Our govern
f1ent."

DON'T KNOW WHEN
WILSON PLANS TO
TURN BACK ROADS
Discussion of Bill to Meet
Return Continues in
Senate.

Washington, Dec. l6.--The bill
embodying permanent legislation to
meet the situation with the return
of railroads to private control. con-
sinued Tuesday before the senate,
but with senators admittedly still in
the dark as to the time President
Wilson plans to turn back the
roads.
Director General Hines has sent
to the president new recommends
tons as to ending government OPP
Grafton, but he would not discuss
them and White House officials say
they have no information.
Many senators and some admins
tration officers still hold to the
opinion that the president will not
carry out his notice to congress OF
last May, that government control
will be ended by. January |. They
think the time of the return will
depend largely on the progress
made by congress on the perman-
ent legislation.
Plans for the return of the roads
by the first of the year are going
forward at the railroad administra
ton, however.

We Amt Dead Yet
Bv BESS FuRMAN

Now that the coal strikes over
we all would be in clover, at least
our worstest worry would be done,
if that blamed Perfesser Porta
didn't bother, kinda sorta, with his
talk about the spots upon the sun.
OF course we don't quite swaller
all this weird and warnitg boiler,
that the month we're fivin' in will
be the last, but though we dassent
show it. we will heave sigh, | know
it, when today, the 18th, is safely
past. It's enough to make us frantic
to think of the suns gas EXPOSITION
jumping at US out of space. As an
enemy of man it's aided by league
of planets Units efforts to destroy
the human race.
And Porta, with voice prophetic,
warns of electromagnetic fires and
Hoods and frightful hurricanes and
fearful freezing weather and earth
quakes, altogether enough to quite
destroy all that remains after the
coal strikes pinched us. and the
radicals have lynched us, and the
cost OF living's clinched us and
Sant;.'s got our purse.
SO some folks think we orta give
vote of thanks to Porta for teIlin'
us the worst might be yet worse,
and on this very mornin' of the day
OF Portals warnin' we can thank our
lucky stare, which are our one safe
het-for the planets are agen US.
and the sun is just inenacc-that
we can feebly murmur, "well We
amt dead yet"

FIND WAY our
FOR DISTILLERS
WITH BIG STOCK
Steamship Representatives Pre-
sent Plan to Take Liquor
To Cuba for Storage.

Louisville, Ky, Dec. l6.-A way
out apparently has been found for
distillers caught with large stocks
of liquor on hand by the supreme
courts deckion holding wartime
prohibition constitutional
A plan was presented to distillers
here by representatives of steamship
lines operating out Of Charleston.
Brunswick, Jacksonville, Savannah
and Wilmington to Cuba, South
America and Europe. 1t contem-
plates immediate shipment of liquor
stocks in Kentucky, estimated at
100000 gallons, largely to Cuban
ports for storage and subsequent re-
sale i'll Cuba or to other foreign
countries.
The freedom of southern ports
from ice, adequate storage facilities
pending loading, their nearness to
Cuba and the large number of
steamship lines operating to the
island were pointed to as evidence
that, railroads and the United States
shipping board cooperating, the
whisky stocks could be moved be-
fore January 10, the time limit the
internal revenue department has
placed en- export shipments.
The railroads are depended upon,
according to the plan presented, to
furnish cars necessary to move the
whisky to the seaboard and the ship
ping board is expected to allocate
sufficient ships, in addition to those
already in service to Cuba, to load
the shipments before the time limit
expires.

performances, only, matinee ant

by the morter of stage technique
himself.
No play presented in a long time
has made deeper impression than
The Masqueraders," in which Cry
Bates Post and his excellent com.
pany are appearing at Boyd's thea
ter. 1t is distinct contrast OF
characters, shown one against the
other in a powerful way, and both
played by Mr.. Post. The interest is
well sustained without any especial
effort at mystifcation, and only
when the final curtain goes down is
the play over. A special midweeh

IbANEz SPEAKS
At MEETING OF
FINE ARTS BODY
Famous Spanish Author,
Economist and Politician
Aided by Interpreter
In Address Here.

Vicente Blasco Ibanez. author
economist and politician. who speaks
only in Spanish. addressed the So
ciety of FincArts at the Hotel Fon-
j tcnelIe ballroom Tuesday afternoon.
a certain resemblance to Enrico
Caruso has been noted by critics in
some Of fine places where Ibanez
las appeared since coming to Amer
lea, and that mere hint made him
instantly recognizable as he adj
vanced to the platform, where he
was presented by Mrs. Ward Bur
CESS.
Ibanez's lecture was divided into
three parts. He was preceded in
each episode by Albert Smith, inter-
prefer, who read what would later
be said in Spanish. Through the
medium OF Mr.. Smith, Ibanez said:
Maryels at America.
Il have never regretted so much
iay inability to speak the English
language. for | would like to tell
you OF all the kindnesses | have
received since coming to this free
land of America. | have Travelled
great deal, have seen the most IA
nous cities OF the world, but no.
where have felt the astonishment,
the amazement that came over ME
when saw New York, the largest
CITY in the world. | even dreamed
OF it by night and it took the shape
OF large animal. ! have admired
its bold architecture which chal-
lengcs heaven. 1t may not be the
delicate type OF beauty, but it gives
profound impression of that power
and force which are symbolic OF
America. | felt | was setting foot
in a country inhabited by giants.
The spaces which in Europe are
filled with stars are in New York
City illuminated windows. 1t is my
intention TO reproduce in a novel
the impressions foreigner receives
when he lands in this country for the
first time"
In part II of his talk, Ibanez re-
futed for America the accusation
that ours is country without art
and without spiritual life. He re-
ferred to Longfellow as the great
romantic poets" Walt Whitman as
"the modern genius" and Edgar
alien Poe as the American writer
best known and admired i'll Europe"
"His was the most original and
powerful imagination ever known"
said the speaker. AN entire school
of French writer's have the author
OF The Raven as their inspiration.
He is as popular as the most popular
Spanish novelist. We have ) cent
editions of his works on our streets"
Names Great Citizens.
Among the great men America
has produced, Ibanez named Wash
ington, that great citizen soldier,
that eternal type Of a great gen
sfal. unassuming, heroic, self-sacri-
ficing; Lincoln, the new Christ who
died for the gospel of Liberty and
equality; Roosevelt, the apostle of
lite, the virulent American, and
Wilson, the great statesman, idealist
and poet. He is poet. for poet
is seer, not merely one who writes
poetry"
In closing 1banez paid tribute
to the American flag, saying, "Ev-
erytime I see it wave in the blue
heaven, | say, This is also my flag.
| love it; | respect it. This flag
is loved wherever that liberty and
justice are known. It imposes fear
on despots and gives peace and tram
uuility to all good peoples of the
GARTH"
