Counsel For the Plaintiff Objected 70
Third Party Being Injected Into the
Case.
Trenton. n. J., Feb. 4.-The legal
fight to preven. enforcement OF the
prohibition or eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead enforcement act, by
Joseph L. Bodine, United States ois-
trict attorney, and Charles V. DuKy,
collector of intrnal revenue in New
Jersey, opened before Judge John
Rellstab, sitting in the federal court.
Former Secretary Of State Ellhu
Root, New York, was chief counsel for
Christian Feigenspan, Inc, corpora
ton formerly engaged in the manufac-
ture and sale of beer in Newark,
Grnment.
At the opening Of the hearing IN
application was made by George B.
Hobart, representing the New Jersey
Anti-Saloon League, for permission
to file brief.
objection was made by William ID.
Guthrie, of consel for the plaintiff, on
the ground the interests Of the govern
ment and the league were identical,
and there was no necessity for thira
party 20 enter the case. He also said
il was customary for the league to
file a brief either on the day of the
hearing or later, with the result no
opportunity was offered counsel for
the plaintiff to study the brief.
Mr.. Guthrie opened the argument By
maintaining the eighteenth amend
ment was void, because It cOnfiicted
with the implied limitation Of the
amending powers Of the constitution.
He said it was really legislation and
not a constitutional amendment, sincs
it does not attempt to lay down rules
of government, but is legislation gov,
erning the conduct Of individuals.
The Feigenspan company is one OF
The largest concerns OF its kind In the
country, operating plant worth about
S4,00O000. 1t sold 100000 barrels Of
beer annually before the enforcement
of the prohibition act.
The corporation paid nearly $2.000,-
900 in taxes yearly. 1t employed 800
men, with an annual payroll OF 1916,
( 600 and profits of $350.000

Meanwhile the children were chas-

around the house. Johnnie was Abra-
nam Lincofn--because he was the old

was Stonewall Jackson-because she

townsfolk wondered who could be the

lay on the step, then when they read
