HARRISON AYERS
CAPITAL IS DRY
DESPITE RULING.
No One in Authority Has
Placed Okey on Press
Interpretation.

The wet" spot that appeared yes
terday with Judge Robert Hardison's
decision in Police Court with regard
to the scope Of the Reed -'bone-dry"
amendment practically dried up yes
terday when no person. who could
speak with authority would agree with
the decision as il appeared i'm the
newspapers.
Early in the morning Judge Hardi-
son gave out a statement n which
he declared that he did not mean his
decision to be so construed that the
bars against bringing in liquor for
personal use. were l0 down.
Even so. those who know law and
make living reading and practicing
it. say that there is but one meaning
to Judge Hardison's decision and that
is the one that was printed in the
papers.
United States Attorney for the Dis
trict John +. Laskey is of the same
~ WIN regard 10 tne
liquor situation that he was before
Judge Hardison rendered his opinion
Of the Freeman case.
All day yesterday there was con-
siderable speculation as to the real
meaning of the decision. 1t is ar
gued by some that since there has not
yet test case been made upon which
an accused person could seek refuge
behind Judge Hardison's decision and
obtain an acquittal. the situation re-
mains the same as before.
Yet on the other hand others learn
ed in the law say that until the Court
of Appeals or the District Supreme
Court has had time to dissect such
case. Judge Hardison's decision
rules, and the Interpretation which
has been put upon it still holds. Any
now, there is not the slightest doubt
that the next case which has or will
originate since the decision will be
a source of trouble to the prosecut-
ing authorities and a bone of conten-
ton between the judges and counsel
for the defense.

Vision Rose as Conditions Read.
This vision rose before me as
read the conditions under which the
twenty-three allied and associated
powers were willing to grant peace
to Germany. Haven't 1900 war days

Revelation-mass murder, epidemics.
hunger, annihilation by fire, drought,
civil war and uproaring and diving

us. against the naked. raw force
which first Iured us into the trap

If We accepted these or any sim
liar conditions we would be dis
honored and Germany's death ver-
dict would be pronounced. Yet an
other voice is audible. that of the
people striving after justice. seeking
