BOSTON. Nov. 19.-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals to-day
issued an order staying execution Of
the preliminary injunction, granted by
Judge Arthur l.. Brown, restraining
Federal officials in Rhode Island from
enforcing the Volstead prohibition act.
The order of the court provides for
q stay of enforcement until the Su-
preme Court gives q decision on an
appeal from the Federal Southern Dis
trict of New York in similar case,
or until the Circuit Court of Appeals
takes further action.
The court, which was composed OF
Judges Bingham, Johnson and Ander-
son, in statement issued with the
order, said:
"On November i3, the district court
for the District of Rhode Island. in
view of the probability that Title Of
the so-called Volstead act of October
%, providing for the enforcement of
war prohibition, would ultima tely be
held unconstitutional, and of the ir-
reparable damage that would thereby
result to the appeliees herein, issued
preliminary injunction forbidding en-

EARLY Opinion by Highest

New York and Kentucky
Rulings Are Contested
$75,OOO,OOO Is Involved
Brief Argues Government
Has No Authority to
Stop Sale of Liquor

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-The Su-
preme Court will hear arguments to-
morrow on the constitutionality of the
wartime prohibition act involved in
three appeals from Federal court rul-
ings. One from Kentucky declared the
act invalid and two from New York
upheld it.
Owing to the short time elapsing be-
fore constitutional prohibition becomes
effective an early opinion by the court
is generally anticipated. The govern
ment asked that the hearing be ad-
vanced.
Ordinarily the cases would not have
been reached for at least year.
the government after Federal Judge
Evans had restrained internal revenue
officials from interfering with the re-
moval from bond bv the Kentucky
Djstilleries and Warehouse Company
of about 10000 gallons of whisky
Judge Evans held that the act violated
the Fifth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution, prohibiting confiscation
Of private property without just COM
pensation.
One New York case resulted from
denial by the Federal District Court
of an injunction to Dryfoos. Blum &
Co. to enable that concern to remove
whisky from bond. The other was
appealed by Jacob Rupert, New
York brewer, after the lower courts
refusal to restrain United States in
ternal revenue officials from interfer
ing with his manufacture of beer con-
tanning more than one-half of l per
cent alcohol.
The brief of the Kentucky parties,
filed to-day. argued that the Federal
government had no authority except
under it's war power to stop the sale of
Intoxicating liquors within state. and
also that the act violated the Fifth
Amendment Congress intended, it
said, that the act should remain opera
tive only pending complete demobiliza-
ton of the army, which President
Wilson and others had declared to be
accomplished.
A general denial of these arguments
was made in the government brief,
which contended that state of war
would continue to exist until ratitica-
tion of the peace treaty.

opinion that the maintenance of the

shares of common stock Of the Inter

asked Hall to sell this stock for him
so that the name of the real owner of
the stock should not be disclosed.
After much negotiation Hall sold the
securities for 1925 $50, which he
turned over to Captain De Lamar, who o
died before he made settlement with

PROTESTS FILED
AGAINST LIVING
COSTS IN JAPAN

Toxic, Nov. Is, (by the Associated
Press Protests against the high
cost of living and demands for in
creased wages are as emphatic in
Japan as in other nations. The
newspapers attack the government
charging it with maintaining policy
of procrastination in dealing with
these economic problems. From all
parts Of the country from offices,
factories and schools come urgent APP
meals for advances in wages to meet
the mounting cost of everything.
Japanese laborers have started n
popular movement to secure a recon
struction of the cabinet, believing
that a ministerial change is necessary
to secure economic reforms. The
newspapers deal lenEthily with a
visit that seven lahorers made Ia
Marquis Okuma, the venerable for
mer premier. The delegates included
two coolies. three printers, a factory
hand, and an iron-smith, all attired
IN hOmesnun dress. Some members
of the delegation attributed their
economic distress to the lack Of gov
eminent action and denounced the
cabinet for alleged failure to halt the
mounting costs.
MARQUIS Okuma also asserts that
the difficulties under which the ma
ton is suffering are largely due to
