Mr.. Reeves remained in about his
usual health until last week when he
was striceyn with cerebral paralysis
He gradually sank into unconscious
ness, from which condition he never
recovered.

VETS GET ANOTHER
STAGGERING BLOW
SUPREME COURT SAYS CONGRESS
CAN DEFINE WHAT is I'M
TOxICATING LIQUOR
UPHOLD THE WARTIME PROHIBITION ACT
Brewers Last Fight Will Now Re
Made on Constitutional Pro-
hbition Amendment.

BY margin Of one vote the supreme
court has upheld the right of congress
to define intoxicating liquors, in so
far as applied to war time prohibition.
In a five to four opinion rendered
by Associate Justice Brandeis, the
of provisions in the Volstead prohibit
ton enforcement act prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of beverages
containing " of / per cent or more Of
alcohol
Validity of the federal prohibition
constitutional amendment and of por-
tions of the Volstead act affecting its
enforcement were not involved in the
proceedings, but the opinion was re-
garded as so sweeping as to leave
little hope among wet adherents.
Anti-saloon league men claim the
only prohibition question left open by
the court now is whether the
eighteenth amendment is of a nature
that can be considered as a federal
amendment and whether it was prop
erly adopted.
Following the announcement of the
opinion, Assistant Attorney General
Frierson, who has been Il charge OF
the prohibition cases in the supreme
court, announced that the department
of justice was ready to begin the pros
ecution of all persons who have sold
beer since the passage last October
% of the Volstead act. The names
of all persons violating the act have
been obtained by the department and
card indexed, and prosecutions, he
said, would begin at once.
However, despite the decision Of the
supreme court denying even 2.75 per
cent beer to the thirsty inhabitants
of the United States, the brewers will
resume it's manufacture after January
16 on the strength of an opinion given
them by their legal advisers. Its
the intention of the brewers of the
country to continue such manufact
ture and sale until the constitution
ality Of the Intoxicating liquor
clause in the prohibition amendment
has been ruled on by the courts.
The opinion rendered by the highest
court yesterday deals solely with the
enforcement measure as it applies to
wartime or statutory prohibition, and
has no bearing whatever, the brewers
counsel hold upon that part OF the
enforcement act which applies tc
constitutional prohibition.
1t is morally certain, OF course, that
as soon as the breweries reopen their
plants and undertake the manufacture
of 275 per cent beer, the government
will proceed against them. This will
mean that a new test case involving
the right to produce drinks containing
not more than 2.75 per cent Of alcohol,
will be brought and that this phase of
nationwide prohibition will eventually
reach the supreme court for a con-
struction of the Volstead statute In its
relation to the eighteenth amendment.
