Government Files Answer.

Government tiicS Answer.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5-The gov
ernment today filed in the supreme
court It's answer to the application
of the state Of Rhode Island for per-
mission to institute original proceed
ings to test the constituti0nality or
the national prohibition constitutional
amendment. At the same lime At
torney General Thomas J.. MoCrann
of New Jersey. asked dismissal of SIM
liar proceedings brought on behalf
of the Retail Liquor Dealers OF New
Jersey to enjoin state and fedora au-
thorities from enforcing the amend
ment in that state. brief In sup
port of the associations case was also
filed by counsel for the organization.
Attorney General McCrann reit-
Grated the contention made by the
government in its rep y last Satur-
day, that the supreme court had no
jurisdiction in the New Jersey state
case. and argued that the state could
not compulsorolly be made q Sultor
in an original action in the supreme
court, indicated by a citizen of thai
state. He also said New Jersey stat
utes barred the citizens from bring
ing legal proceedings against the
state without its consent.
In the brief filed in support OF the
application in the New Jersey case, It
was COnL6nu6u lIiS SupltiiiS tohit hsNA
jurisdiction and that the prohibition
amendment was different from other
constitutional amendments. in thas
it assumes to regulate private life or
citizens"
If the procedure of enactment was
valid, the briefs asserted, 1t follows
that "a bare two-thirds Of bare
majority of the membership of tha
two Houses in congress, and a bare
majority of the membership Of three
fourths Of the state legislature, can
constitutionally adopt any amend
ment to the constitution, which they
may DESIRE"
an other words" he continued, "a
group of public officials which at tbs
maximum may be less than $500
and at the minimum may be less than
l 400 hold in their hands the eonsti-
tuition of the United States ana the
property. the liberty and even the
lives Of 10000, 900. Their power, II
the Eighteenth Amendment has been
constitutionally adopted, is absolute
and arbitrary beyond that OF any
group of men known to history.

AN effort in which they are engaged.
The conversation shows hat they
suspect a woman on board the train
to know something about the where
abouts of a plate taken from China
upon which is engraved the secret

believe that the only way to effect
ually stamp out the traffic is by de-
%stroying the plate and their efforts

plate proves most elusive II many
complications are encountered be-
