Before volstead Law Passed.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-The SUI
preme court today held that the gov
ernment exceeded its authority In
preventing the sale of 2.75 per cent
beer under war time prohibition be-
fore the Volstead law was passed on
October rs. 1913.
This decision, unfavorable to the
government. does not mean that the
sale OF 2.75 beer is authorized now, be
cause the court earlier in the day
held that congress had the power rs
expressed In the Volstead law TO NIX
one half of one per cent as the amount
or alcohol that makes a beverage In
toxicating. The yolstead law, now
being in force. supersedes the opinion
or the court, which was handed down
ON appeals fro mthat and New on
leans federal courts. The main enect
of the opinion will be to prevent Tue
prosecution of brewers and liquor
dealers who sold 2.T5 per cent peer
under wartime prohibition from July

Movement on Foot to Secure
Appropriation Of Two
Million to Further
Deepen Waterway

The Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal is 10 feet deep throughout
it's entire length. This informa-
tion has recently been placed in
the hands of shippers. The deep
ening of this waterway has been
brought about largely through the
efforts and energy of Colonel J. P.
Jervey, United States Engineer in
charge of the improvements to
the canal. Colonel Jervey has been
retired from the Federal Engi-
neers' Service at his own request
to accept the position of City
Manager of Portsmouth. His new
connection will bring no abate-
ment in his interest in the pro-
jected deepening and widening of
: the canal, as he informed Gen.
: Felix Angus of Baltimore, during
last week.
S Knowing the important part
played by General Angus in the
acquisition of, the canal by the
federal government and it's devel
= opment into a ship canal to con
t meet the Chesapeake and Della
S ware Bays, Colonel Jervey called

for ship canal, irrespective of hi
severing of his connection will
