Judge Jennings rendered a de cision in the United States district court here similar to one he had previously rendered that the Vol stead act does not supersede the Alaska bone dry law, when he over- ruled the demurrer of the defend ant in the case of the United Sites against Rae Johnstone. He also de- nied the petition of the defense, praying that the court order the liquor seized in the raid on the property owned by Mrs. Johnstone be destroyed
 In making his decision, Judge Jen- nings held that under the bone dry law, liquor is not property It is contraband and therefore subject to seizure. It is not property and that being the case the defendant could have no interest in the disposal of the booze, nor could she claim it
