/ IN SUPREME COURT
New Jersey and Wisconsin set i!
Arguments Are Heard at
Today's Session.

The constftutionality of the :prohi-
bition amendment and portions of the
enforcement act were argued before
the Supreme Court of the United
States again today in connection with
consideration of the original suit
brought by the state of New Jersey
and appeals from that state and from
Wisconsin. Because Of the number
of cases, arguments were not expect
ed to be concluded before tomorrow.
The cases today involved virtually
the same questions as the Rhode
Island, Kentucky and Massachusetts
cases recently presented to the court.
but the original New Jersey suit en-
bodied a more extensive attack upon
the validity of the eighteenth amend
act than heretofore brought by Chris

New Jersey Brief Ii Heard.
The eighteenth amendment to the
Constitution, known as the prohibt-
tion amendment, is legislative in ma
ture and revolutionary in character.
according to Attorney General
Thomas F. McCran of New Jersey. in
opening his argument in New Jersey s
suit to have the amendment declared
void and the Volstead act unconsti-
tutional. Eight points were raised
and discussed in the argument.
Attorney General McCran's brief de-
clared that the eighteenth amendment
was not constitutionally proposed; that
the proposal is subject to judicial re-
view; that Congress did not by two
thirds in numbers of both houses af-
firmatively vote for the proposal of the
resolution: that three-fourths of the
states have not ratified in the constitu-
tional sense.

DISCUSSION Of D. c.
BILL RESUMED BY
HOUSE MEMBERS
Renewal of Contest for Re-
tanning HaIf-and-HaIf
Is Predicted.

Late this afternoon the House re-
sumed consideration in committee OF
the whole of the District of Columbia
appropriation bill, taking up the bill
by paragraphs. having disposed for
the present of the increased tax rate
and the half-and- half principle by its
action on Saturday.
That decision, of course, is subject to
revision when the bill is reported out
of committee of the whole and is taken
up in the House. 1t is a foregone con-
to retain the half-and-half principle. and
to oppose the proposed increase in the
tax rate. and that a yea and nay vote
will be demanded.
In the meantime members of the
House who are not thoroughly apprised
whom the recommendation of the COM
mittee on appropriations came as a
surprise, will inform themselves upon
all the facts in the case. and it Is ex-
pected that the recommendation OF the
committee and the subsequent action in
committee of the whole will be debated
at length.
The House did, not get to the con-
sideration of the bill until after the
roll had been called on demand Of Mr..
Blanton of Texas to establish a
quorum in connection with considera-
tion Of a resolution to give compensa-
ton to additional clerks of the naval
AFFAIRS committee.
Mr.. Madden, chairman of the COM
mitee of the whole. announced that he
would reserve a ruling made Saturday
sustaining a point of order raised
against the appropriation of $1.800 for
a statistical clerk for the Public Utili-
ties Commission. He had found that
the law permits such an office. and the
appropriation remains in the bill.
To Enforce Game and Fish Laws.
Representative Platt introduced an
amendment carrying 800 to enforce
game and fish laws in the District.
Members of the committee pointed
out that such an appropriation had
been carried from year to year and
missioners suggested that it be cut
out.
Mr.. Platt, in support of his amend
ment. said that some time when the
snow covers the ground the birds here
could get nothing to eat. With the
could feed them. His amendment was
lost.
Representative Treadway of Massa-
chusetts offered an amendment de-
signed to take from the Terminal
Taxicab Company the permit it now
has to maintain a garage at the Union
station. Mr.. Treadway charged that
the company had been given permis-
sion to establish garage In iS1a. :
TT is called a blue sky garage" /"
said Mr.. Treadway. 1T is in the open.
The company merely uses 1t to .ex-
ciude others from the right Of park
ing their automobiles there. They
rent out space. It really Is a public
space and has never been used, ex-
cept to establish monopoly"
A point of order was made against
his amendment by Representative
Mann of Illinois. The point was sus-
tanned.
On motion Of Mr.. Overstreet of
Georgia an amendment was adopted
appropriating $4,000 to pave Meridian
place between 18th and Brown streets

WILL NOT PRESS
PROVISION FOR
TRAINING YOUTH

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED "tREl
Washington, April s. - Facing
certain defeat, senate supporters
of compulsory universal military
today retreated from press
ing the adoption OF their plan OF
four months training of all
youths as a part of the army re-
bill. With this change
of front advocates OF training
shifted their tactics in an effort TO
obtain acceptanCes of system OF
voluntary training.
1t is expected that a vote Will be
taken on the voluntary training
substitute tomorrow. There will be
no direct vote on compulsory plan,
if the voluntary plan is adopted.
Supporters of the compulsory
training feature expressed the op'n-
ion today that it was the virtual
wreck" of the entire measure.
Senator Wadsworth, republican of
New York, in charge of the Dill,
said provision for reducing the reg
ular army to 100000 men WITHIN
the next five years would not be
practicable with compulsory train
ing rejected.
Senator Frelinghuysen, republi-
can. New Jersey, a supporter OF the
o m pul lsory plan, offered the
amendment for training volunteers.
He did so reluctantly, he said,
but with other advocates of com
pulsory training thought that the
volunteer scheme was the best that
night be had at present,
Debate today was confined en-
tirely to the training schemes, Sen
ator Thomas, democrat, Colorado,
said defeat of compulsory training
was largely due to political COW
ardice" of members desirous OF re-
framing from supporting 1t on the
eve of election. Senator Mcclellan,
democrat, of Tennessee, declared,
however, that overwhelming sem
timent' of the senate against the
compulsory plan compelled It's

WHEAT OUTLOOK
FOR THIS YEAR
REPORTED POOR
Severe Winter, HesSian Fly
and An Unfavorable Seed
ing Period Cause Decline
in the Estimated Yield.

Washington, April S--A severe
winter, the Hessian fly and an uh-
favorable seeding period caused
heavy decline in the condition OF
winter wheat in the principal pro-
ducing states. A department OF
agriculture forecast today placed
the crop at 4S3,6lIO00 bushels
compared with 73l $4,000 bushels
last year. The acreage planted
was not as great as the year be-
fore, but a larger crop than fore
cast was anticipated.
In the principal producing states
Illinois, Missouri, lndt-
ana and Ohio-the condition of the
crop on April /. ranged from b9 10
73 per cent of normal compared
with a ten-year average range OF
from 10 to so. For the country as
a whole the condition was 75.6 per
cent of normal, compared with 6s.S
last year and SAL, the average fot
the last ten years. The decline
from last December was 90 points.
In the great central winter wheat
belt the crop condition is very low
and considerable abandonment OF
acreage will he shown, according to
reports reaching officials here. The
percentage of acreage abandonei
this year will be reported by the
government in May.
There were 3S,770000 acres
sown to winter wheat last fall, com
pared with 42,301,000 acres in
1918 and an average of $4,000, 900
acres for the past ten years.

tnv MORNING JousHAL SPECIAL LEASED ~lst>
London, April 9.--The London
Times says that a crisis has arisen
in Anglo French relations and thai,
contrary to assurances that the diff
ferences of opinion between the
allies regarding the violation of the
neutral zone by German troops
were about to be composed by a
friendly understanding it appears
that the British government yes
| terday took steps to emphasize
their disagreement with the policy
of France.
The Times adds that during the
day, NJ Cambon, the French am
bassador had a long interview with
Earl Curzon.
soon afterwards continues the
paper, "one of the premler's pri-
vate secretaries, Philip Kerr, of
Bullitt fame, invited the represen-
tatives of the provincial press to
Downing street and informed them
of Mr.. Lloyd Georges standpoint.
| Simultaneously, a private communl-
cation on similar lines was ad-
dressed to the London press and
/ various worded communiques We're
issued for publication through the
news agencies. These statements
are understood to have been on the
same lines as Earl CurZon's repre-
sentations to the French ambassa-
dor
"In official quarters last evening
it was alleged that a note had been
dispatched to the French govern
ment through the British ambassa
dor at Paris.
"The substance of the premiers
argument is that by her occupation
| of German towns in the neutral
zone France has acted against his
views and the wishes of the other
allied statesmen and without con-
sultation with them. Italy, Belgium
and the United States are alleged tc
have been opposed to the French
plan. AS regards Belgium, the Brus-
sells telegram shows this statement
to be incorrect"
| The Times adds that IN apo
matte circles the view is expressed
that the action of France is wrong
in form, but right in substance. II
is also regarded as a mistake or
the part of France not to have EN-
ployed white troops exclusively ir
the occupation of German cities. In
dependent diplomatic testimony
according to the Times, is to tho
effect that the German government
is in reality controlled by militar-
lists, 1t is therefore held that Franco
was justified in acting swiftly while
her allies were talking.
In parliamentary quarters, says
the Times, the action of Mr.. LloyG
George is attributed to his alleget
desire to influence opinion in the
national liberal club, where
struggle for predominance is pro
ceeding between his supporters ant
those of Mr.. Asquith.

LEGAL DISPUTE
DELAYS HEARING
H. {. WOOTT0N
Lawyers Quarrel Over the.
Introduction of Certain.
Evidence; Judge Takes.
Matter Under Amusement

Tombstone, Ariz., April s.
Whether or not the defense may
introduce evidence tending to show
that the conditions prevailing In
Bisbee at the time Of the deporta-
tons of July IL. 1917. were the
result, partly at least. of a nation
wide anti-government conspiracy
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, tonight was the question
before Judge Samuel l., Pattee, in
the trial of Harry +. Wootton,
charged with kidnapping in connec-
tion with the deportations.
Virtually the entire days ses
sion was consumed by legal argu-
ments on this point.
In a ruling handed down two
weeks ago Judge Pattee held the
defense might show that condi-
tions in the Warren district We're
such as to make the deportations
necessary. The court declined to
express itself at the time as to
whether a nationwide conspiracy
might be proved as throwing light
on such conditions.
Today the issue was squarely
presented when the defense sought
TO introduce into evidence docu-
ments tending to show conditions
surrounding the strike at Butte,
Mont, which was in force at the
time of the deportations. The de-
fense contended that the Bisbee
strike was called more in sympathy
with the Butte strike than for the
purpose of obtaining better work
ing conditions in Bisbee Itself.
County Attorney Robert n
French today declared that the In
Idustrial Workers of the World
were not on trial in this case
Frank f. Curley of counsel for the
defense, replied that the /. w. w
were on trial, 'just as the man who
was killed is on trial when self
defense is pleaded in a murder case
to show whether he was the ag-
gressor."
Judge Pattee took the matter
under advisement.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1920-04-09

the whole issue turns upon the
question Of fact as to the extent
of the disorder in the Ruhr district
and the ability of the Ebert gov rn-
ment to maintain its control there
with the small force of gendarme le
permitted by the terms of the ar
mstice and peace treaty. In the
course of the conversation be-
tween Ambassador wallace and the
French foreign officer, it is under
stood that the latter set out as the
French view that no conditions eX-
listed in the valley to justify the en-
try of a large force of German
regular troops which. in fact. was
calculated to add to the disorder.
Moreover, the French govern
ment was very apprehensive that,
in their desperation, the red forces
in the Ruhr valley would effect
permanent injury upon the coal
mines from which the French eX-
pected to draw heavily for. several
years.
Ambassador Jusserand called at
the state department Wednesday,
presumably to reinforce the state
ment which Premier Millerand had
made TO Ambassador Wallace. NO
announcement has been made as TO
the result of this conference, but 1t
is understood that so far there has
been no change in the. attitude OF
| the state department.

the fact that the blaze had gained
