London. March SO.-Important in- formation regarding the Sim Fein or ganization has reached the govern ment and documents dealing with these revelations will be published soon, according to the Daily Mail.
 Thomas MacCurtain. the late lord mayor of Cork. who was murdered in his homN recently. asked to be arrest ed for his own protection, but the sol- diers sent to arrest him arrived too late, accC>ing to a report which the Daily Mail publishes today.
 Women fanatics are believed to be very active in the extremist wing of the Sim Fein party, says the Daily Mail.
 The appointment of Sir Neville Macready, chief of the metropolitan police of London. as military con- mander in Ireland, foreshadows a change in the Irish policy of the Brit ish government, acording to the Mail.

 HIS SEAT IN THE SENATE

Washington, March 19.-Senator Newberry of Michigan who returned here today, will not resume his seat in the senate until questions as to his status arising from his conviction in the Michigan election conspiracy cas- have been disposed of.
 T shall not resume my activities in the senate" he said, until all 1SAe ters growing out of the proceedings in Michigan are cleared up."
 The senator did not appear today at the capitol. He was understood to have conferred with some republi- can leaders and will return to Michi- gan for the Easter holidays without any definite plan as to when he will be back in Washington.
 Democratic senators who were ac- tive in pressing for investigation of the Michigan senatorial contest, ad- mitted the yhad been prepared, should MT. Newberry have put in an appearance in the senate, to seek his expulsion on the ground of his con viction on a criminal charge. His decision obviates that action and il was assumed the next step would be , in the committee on elections, where the Ford -Newberry contest is pend ! ing.

Washington, March 29.-A possibil- ity that the supreme court might pass final judgment oh prohibition questions now before it by the mid dle of next month was seen by some observers today in the announcement that the court recess to be taken at conclusion of arguments on these cases, probably tomorrow, would ex- tsrd to ALril 19 instead of April l2. The opliliUn was expressed by those familiar with the courts procedure that a decision might be rendered im- mediately when the court reconvenes.
 Further argument on both sides of questions touching validity of the constitutional amendment and the en- forcement act now before the court was presented today. They were in connection with the original suit brought by New Jersey as well as ap- peals from that state and from Wis consin. Rhode Island, Kentucky and Massachusetts cases have already been argued and will be considered at the same time.
 Elihu Root. representing Christian Feigenspan, a brewer of Newark, N. J, Attorney General Thomas F. Me Gran of New Jersey in opposition to the constitutional amendment. and Assistant Attorney General William l.. Frierson for the government. ad- dressed the court today.
 MT. Root characterized the prohi- bition amendment as new legislation made under "color of an amendment affecting personal rights. If it's val idlty was upheld, he said, the effect would be that the court recognized in addition to the legislative powers ol congress and the state, a third leg islative power, namely, enactment oi
Norwich bulletin., 1920-03-30

lesislation by consent of three fourths of the states, which he saio would be "a perversion not only of the word but of the whole tone and character of the constitution"
 Tt is of little consequence, MT. Root said, eff there be or be not pro hibition in this country. It is of vast honors now decide rightly and for the good of our country in the future if there are to be any limits to the pow CT of amendment and where the line of limitation is to be drawn
 q insist that your honors are not at liberty to put a construction upon
 the power to amend that will over
 turn the fundamental character of
 this government undess the language
 of the article is too plain to admit a question:"
 MT. Root further argued that the original bill of rights upon which the federal constitution was founded would be swept away if the amend ment were sustained and laws enact ed as constitutional amendments would be made superior to other laws This would mean, he added. that I've are not a government of limited pow CTS because there is a legislative body that is not subject to those limita- | tions."
 Replying to an inquiry by Associate | Justice Day, Mr. Root said only two ways existed to insert prohibition
 amendment in the constitution, tt
 transfer power to regulate the liquol | traffic to congress, as was done re garding interstate commerce, or t l call a convention to propose amend l ments on the same authority as wa
 done for the original constitution.

Grant, then commanding the submarine force, today told the senate committee Investigating charg- es against the navy department's S conduct of the war. The submarines were too small, of too short cruising radius, mounted small guns and con- tained poorly designed engines, the officer testified, while the battleships required complete oyerhauling to fit them for service.
 Admiral Grant commanded the sub marine force for two years prior to the war and later commanded Bat tleship Force 1 of the Atlantic fleet with the rank of vice admiral He testified that beginning in 1915 he had urged construction of 800-to sub- mersibles but received no support in the department, most of the opposi- tion coming from the general board. Later, he said, the 800-craft were au- thorized and built
 The department was slow to con- sent to overhauling for the battle ships of his force although he had been instructed that the ships were to be kept in condition for battle, Ad- IulTdla OTdnE Salu.
