DRY DECISION MONDAY !?
Washington Expects Supreme
Court to Uphold Volstead Law,
Notwithstanding Edwards
Tip.

Washington, ID. c., May 12.-The
vets of Washington are Obliged to Gov
ernor Edwards, of New Jersey, for his
cheering words, expressing his belief
that the Supreme Court is going to hold
the Nolstead act unconstitutional, and
indicating that he had something on
which he based that belief; but they are
inclined TO think that the Governors s
hope is stronger than his Judgment.
The lawyers here, after scanning the
decisions the Court has made since the
LIQUOR question came before it IN its
various forms, look for verdict in line
with these They think the decision
will come on Monday, but their attitude
is one Of resignation, rather than hope.
IL there has been any real or pretended
leak it did not spill ON Washington.
Generally verdict upholding the con-
stitutionality of the law Is looked for,
together with the dismissal of the suits
brought by New Jersey and Rhode Is
land, II is, however, expected by the
lawyers that the Court will divide, prob
ably five to four in the decision, but this
is guesswork based on lawyers estimate

Gus members Of the Court.

tinguishcd pcrsonages who attended yes
terday the wedding Of Lady Cynthia Cur
zon, daughter of Earl Curzon, the For

Der and of great value. lt was found nee
essary to employ several of the largest
rooms IN the CurZon town house to DIS
play the wonderful assortment. King
George and Queen Mary sent the bride a
diamond brooch, while King Albert and
Queen Elizabeth presented her with q
diamond ad pearl bracelet Prince Leopold,
Prince Charles and Princess Marie-Jose Of
Belgium each sent diamond brooch.
Other gifts included a silver plate service

The dangers that beset amateur

when FlOrtan Kutchera was held by

Kutchera was a more horrible ex-

blackened and he appeared detected
Policeman Frank Flanagan, who
probably saved Kutchera by arrest

"kutchera had FIVE gallon boiler

another utensil filled with cold
water" Flanagan said. "The tubing
projected through the second utensil,
and the alcohol. distilled, dropped
into a utensil placed under the tip of
the tube.
'Kutohera made the mistake Of not
keeping fresh cold water circulating in
the utensil used for a coil cooler. He
also put too strong a fire under his
boiler, This made the steam In big
volume. and soon the water in the
cooler became hot. Then the steam
began TO back up into the boiler and
