HAAGS IN ATTACK
ON REED DRY LAW
Indicted Druggists Call Act
Unconstitutional.

The federal court has before it today
demurrer filed by attorneys for Herb
ert L. Haag, Louis e. Haag and julius
A. Haag, under indictment by the fed
eral grand jury for alleged violation of
the Reed amendment, challenging the
constitutionality of the amendment.
The demurrer AYERS that each of the
thirty counts of the indictments filed
by the federal grand jury against the
defendants fails to state facts surficlent
to constitute an offense against the laws
Of the United States
1t further AYERS that the facts set forth
in the indictments are of a vague ma
ture and not plain enough to inform
the defendants sufficiently Of the ma
ture and cause of the action against
amendments of the constitution of the
United States.
Other than that, the law is unconsti-
tutional and void, the demurrer states.
The indictment and its various counts,
the demurrer states, are based upon sec
ton of the act of March 3, 1917
This act provides that whatsoever shah
cause intoxicating liquor to be trans
ported in interstate commerce into any
state or territory, the laws of which pro-
hibit the manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors for beverage purposes,
shall be punished.
The demurrer holds that this Is un>
constitutional in that IT is without sup
port by an authority conferred upon con-
gress by the constitution to make such
laws. and that it violated the fifth amend
ment to the constitution, in that its en-
forcement would be a deprivation of lib.
erty and property without due process
of law.

is an omen OF wealth. honor and happi-
ness.
If a person already we'll Off as to this
worlds goods dreams his neck is grow
ing larger IL is a sign that his riches
will increase.
II a person who is now poor has this
dream it foretells fortune which is
coming to him.
1t is bad sign, however, TO dream that
ones neck is growing thin and shrivehng
up, or that one has a wry neck. Z
To dream that one is having his neck
so compressed that he is strangling is an
omen OF probable losses for spectators,
money lenders, contractors and fnanciers,
but for all others "a is an omen OF sue
cess after going through some unpleasant
experiences.
If the dreamer is IN any unpleasant
situation at present. It is a sure sign that
he will be extricated from it.
To dream that you have more than one
head is an omen that you will rise to
great honors in the community-prohab

Should n woman dream her neck is
broken It is a warning TO be on the look
out or some o; her iewelry or other valu-
ables will be stolen.-CoDyright 1920.

dent of the chamber of commerce nf
the United States in the Argentine

."The primary work Of the Ameri-

ito retain existing commerce" he said.
"If we can hold what we have al
ready secured, we will be in the best

we have, extensions will come auto

is to avoid loss OF ground
Whittemore detailed the work Of
the American chambers of commerce
in foreign cities, declaring their
greatest work has to do with arb1-

and American exporters.
"Most Of the cases brought to the
attention Of the Buenos Aires cham

ignorance rather than bad faith" he
said.

none the less costly, he said.
He urged an understanding Of for
