Charles f. Banning, the PittsburG
millionaire who has been fighting IN
the United States court here for the
mast week to prove that he is a cltl-
zen of the United States and there
fore has been illegally interned as
an enemy alien, won his case Monday
morning, so Tar as the local Aeueidl
court is concerned.
United States Judge William L.
Newman rendered the opinion that
Banning now is an American citizen,

to his discharge.

Alexander to Appeal
The Banning victory came after
week of one of the most brilliantly
fought legal battles in the history
of local courts. Banning's conten-
tons were advanced by Attorney j.
a. Branch and Congressman William
Schley Howard, the first case handled
by these two well-known lawyers
since they formed their partnership.
Actively cooperating with them was
Attorney Martin, who resides at
Pittsburg. Their contentious were

was without value in that he did not

WHISKY MEN
STAKE ALL on
FIGHT IN COURT
Three Hundred Met in Chi
cago and Attacked Consti-
tutionaI Amendment as a
/. Blow at State Rights

Three hundred distillers of the
United States met in Chicago the
other day. pooled their interests, val
ued at $1,000, 900, 900, and decided TO
fight the dry forces in every state in
the Union and before the United
States supreme court. Levy Mayer
was chosen chief counsel and in
structed to go the limit.
Questions that have not been rals-
ed before in the country'S history
will be put up to the supreme court.
One is the constitutionality of the
constitutional amendment article 1t
self, which aims at dry nation. Ihe
highest court will be asked to pass
on the question as to whether thirty
six or any number of states can I'M
pose a rule of personal conduct on
other states that are not included in
cite Estate Rights" Article
This attack will be based on ar
ticle X of the constitution, which
provides that powers not delegated 10
the United States by the constltu-
ton nor prohibited by it to the states
shall be reserved to the states re-
spectively. -
Another point to be raised is
whether the federal government can
force a state to surrender its inner
ent right to handle exclusive mat
erty right of the individual citizen OF
a state.
The distilIers, got a little ray. OF
: hope when it was discovered that
cider cannot be manufactured IL Lhe
nrohibition amendment is"ratified by
fhe constitutional number Of states
required One report from down east,
where the ystiIl have apple orchards
was that the farmers were up IN
arms over the possibility OF not pelng

mercial purposes.
throughout the convention, how
ever. there seemed to be general
feeling that prohibition amendment
would receive the Endorsement OF the
thirtv-six states and that the hght
will have to be carried on IN the
courts.
was told not to spare any expense as
long as the billion dollars held out.
In other words, the demon rum
forces have decided to fight out IN
the open, and murmurings from the
executive sessions indicate tina they
contemplate one of the biggest legal
fights in the nations history.
The liquor barons also laid stress
ON the provision Of the pending dry
amendment that fixes a time limit OF
seven years in which the ratlncal1on
by two-thirds of the states shall take
Mace. This time element they were
advised, constitutes an unconss Iu-
tionaI limitation not contemplated by
the amending article of the federal
constitution. This was the point
raised by Senator Borah at the time
rre- resolution was pending IN con-
stgress.
Fear Wave of Socialism
one ranort to the convention said
that if the dry forces won finally
there was danger of the United
States going to a Socialist party
basis. or the great majority OF the
working classes Hopping over to the
Berger Stedman-Germer standard.
