 SUPREME COURT
War Time Prohibition Law And Enforcement Taken To Highest Tribunal Decision Expected Early Next Month
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-The validi- ty of the wartime prohibition law and the Volstead act for it's enforcement were put squarely before the supreme court today with the closing of argu- ments attacking and defending both measures. There was no intination as to when an opinion might be rendered. but owing to the importance of the is sue, early determination was considered probable.
 After rendering opinions Monday the court will recess until December 8, so it is not likely the cases will be decided before that time. National constitution al prohibition becomes effective Jan. uary Is, and if an opinion is not ren- dered by that date,,it would make no difference what the court decided, as the country then would have passed through the war time prohibition per- iod.
 Arguments today were confined en- tirely to the appeal by Jacob Ruppert, a New York brewer, from dismissal of proceedings brought to prevent federal revenue officers from interfering with the manufacture of beer containing more than one half of one per cent all cohol. Elihu Root, counsel for Ruppert, charged prohibition advocates in con- gross with taking advantage of the year of grace" allowed by the consti- tutional amendment and which he said came "very near" being a contract with the government and the states, and with having heckled the liquor in terests while attempting to shove for ward national prohibition a few months under the pretext of the war emergency MT. Root also deplored the granting oi unlimited power to the federal govern ment.
 l In attacking the validity of the war ! time prohibition act, William D. Guthrie 1 appearing also for Ruppert asserted the i mere fact that some American troops were still abroad did not expand nol
 increase the powers of congress" ana that the act was obsolete as denobili- zation had been completed and the wal | ended.
 1 MT. Guthrie declared congress in the 1 eighteenth amendment or in the war | time prohibition act did not see fit tt i use the term alcoholic liquors" whicf
 would prohibit the use of any alcoholi,
 beverage, while the Volstead act "at
 tempts to change the standarf' by tn, 1 insertion by congress of a provision making it apply to beverages contain ing more than one half of one per cen alcohol
 Both Solicitor General King and As
 sistant Attorney General Friersou
 made closing statements for the gov ernment in which they denied the con
 tentions of their opponents.

FEDERAL JUDGE IN
 DECISION SAYS SALE
 OF BEER NAY GO 0N

ST. LOUIS, Nov. .21--Beer of 1f5 per cent alcoholic content was declared non intoxicating in a decision filed in the United States district court here today by Fedaoel Judge John c. Pol lock, in granting a temporary injunc- tion restraining United States District Attorney Walter l.. Hensely and Collec- tor of Internal Revenue George Moore, from interfering with the manufacture or sale of this beer by St. Louis brew CTS.
 The decision was mailed by Judge Pollock from Kansas City, Kansas, and as he was not here to sign the order making the injunction operative, doubt arose as to when it legally became eff fective. Counsel for the co onplainant brewers departed for Kansas City, to- night with an order which will be pre- scented to the judge tomorrow for his signature.
 District Attorney Hensley said he would appeal the decision.
 The majority of saloons here began selling 2.75 per cent beer tonight. With the exception of the two largest here, breweries will begin manufacture of the beer as soon as Judge Pollock signs the order, it was announced
 The decision does not deal with bev- erages containing more than 2.75 per cent alcoholic content nor does it de- clare war time prohibition or the Vol stead law unconstitutional.

SUGAR SITUATION
 PLACED IN HANDS OF GOVERNMENT.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-President Wilson today placed the government again in control of the nations food supply by transferring the authority of food administrator to Attorney General Palmer. Revival of the war time functions of Administrator Hoover resulted directly from govern ment efforts to avert famine in sugar, but the powers delegated to the head of the department of justice will be used also to help put down the ever-mounting cost of living.
 For the present, the attorney general will not put into operation all the machinery permitted under the execu- tive order signed by the president, but should conditions arise to make it necessary, the full pressure of all the br oad power vested in him will be ex- erted to meet them.
 MT. Palmer's staff will begin inn mediately to build up a sugar distribu tion system which will allocate all sugar stocks in the country. It viii provide an equitable system of dis tributing supplies and will defeat any concentration or hoarding, officials said.
 Plans tentatively decided upon( pro- vide for increasing the price of al sugar, excepting the Louisiana croI for which a price of r cents already has been fixed, to F cents a pound wholesale.
 Immediate action also is contem- plated in curtailing the consumption of sugar by manufacturers who's, products are not regarded as essentia food This will apply particularly t, soft drink dealers and candy manu lecturers. The abnormal increase o sales of these articles and the conse quent heavy drain on the sugar sup 1 plies is traceable, officials declare, t the enforcement of prohibition.
 While it has not been definitely de termined, the cut in sugar supplies t these classes of trade probably will b about SO per cent. Officials indicate, that if the exigencies of the situation demanded, they would reduce the al lowance to soft drink and candy plant
 to 25 per cent of their normal re quirements.

ROBIN HOOD" TRAIN BANDIT. CARLISLE |S
 STILL AT LIBERTY
[Republican AP. Leased wirel


 CHEYENNE Wyo., Nov. 21.-Wil- liam L. Carlisle, the train bandit for whom posses have been searching since Saturday, continued to outwit his pursuers last night and today.
 Armed men covered wide areas of wild country today, in and around Medicine Bow and in the vicinity of Casper without success. No one, ap- parently, has the least idea where the outlaw is.
 Officials of the Union Pacific rail- road announced today they had spent SIS, 5,000 in the search and in addition hundreds of men volunteered service in the man hunt In the meantime armed guards are maintained on all passenger trains, fer railroad men are confident the bandit will make another robbery attempt, though possibly not until he has spent the $250 he obtained in the robbery of Union Pacific No. 19 near Medicine Bow Tuesday night.
 Baseless rumors have appeared from many places, including Denver and Pueblo, Colo, where the bandit is re- ported to have been seen. Little credence is placed in those, and yet of ficials here admit there is nothing more definite than these rumors con- corning the bandits hiding place.
 Governor Carey was asked today to offer reward for the capture of the bandit. He promised to do so if the prosecuting attorney of the county in which the robbery occurred would ask it. The only reward now offered is one of $2eo from the state prison at Rawlins, where Carlisle was confined up to his escape last Saturday. A considerable sentiment has de- veloped in favor of the bandit because of his daring and courteous treatment of women and children passengers, and the possibility that friends might he aiding the fugitive was taken into con | sideration-
