LITTLE RELIEF FOR
SUGAR FAMINE

Inspection OF the warehouses In the
city yesterday gave little promise of
relief from the famine in sugar, that
threatens to become more aggravated
unless methods can be devised TO inn
port the commodity from other
points. That there is practically no
sugar in Richmond. and that the
shortage is not caused by any alleged
plan on the part of local dealers to
initiate prices by boarding. is the opirf-
ion expressed by United States District
Attorney Hiram NJ. Smith, as the re-
suit of the investigation.
Distribution OF the 1870 barrels of
sugar. amounting to nearly $4,000
pounds, rendered by the Corby Bak-
ing company, will be made today
preference being given to hospitals,
i'll persons. children and others who
are helpless and dependent The sugar
will be sold at 10 cents n pound, and
the distribution will be made a com
mittee under the supervision of the
district attorney, and of Common
weaith's Attorney Wise.
Rationing of sugar has been put into
effect by practically all the restau
rants. hotels and boarding houses in
the city. Jobbers and wholesale deal
ers announced yesterday that there
had been no change in the situation,
and that it was impossible to obtain
anything like the amount OF sugar
needed to supply the demand.

REFERENDUM On 18TH
AMENDMENT DENIED

referendum on the eighteenth
amendment has been denied by six
state supreme courts, is set forth in
a brief filed by Wayne b Wheeler
and James A. White, in the Ohio
referendum cases, which are to be
heard this week In the United States
supreme court Some state supreme
courts held that the federal constitu-
tion does not provide for it, and the
others held that even if a federal con
stitution did provide for referen-
dunn the state constitution does not
authorize it. The brief further
states.
If the federal constitution can be
changed by The action of q single
state or by n referendum, then it will
be claimed that the legislature itself
may rescind ratification. With for
ty-eight different kinds of referenda
it would make the procedure for rat
flying an amendment to the eonsti-
tuition a complete force. The bar
ricrs placed in The way of amend
ments to the constitution are now al
most unsurnountable.
only eighteen amendments have
been adopted out of more than 900
proposed to congress. The barriers,
as Professor Ames ION the Constitu-
ton" has said, makes it impossible to
amend the constitution until you
practically have a revolution OF sem
/ timent in favor of a given amend
meut To add TO these difficulties,
tn" possibility OF forty-eight varieties
Of referenda or limitations placed in
state constitutions, 1t would prevent
action in cases where amendments
are most needed.
II an amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States can he held
up until the time limit has expired
In a state constitution for a referen-
dunn, a few states may make the
time limit so long that it will mean
In effect that no change can be made.
Such a construction placed upon the
constitution of the United States is
contrary TO its original purpose: to
the unhroken procedure during the
whole history of this country, and
would open the doorway to the en-
trenchment Of recognized evils, which
in time would menace the very exist
ence of the nation itself
The fact that Ohio has incorpor-
ated into her constitution a provision
providing for referendum does not
give legality to procedure not au-
thorized by article V. of the federal
constitution. The trainers of the con-
: s'itHAApti icFt'AE6tl ltldL there WOuII DC
conflicts between state and federal
| legislation, They wisely provided by
article VI. of the constitution of the
United States that the constitution
and the laws of the United States are
supreme. state laws and state con-
sttutions 10 the contrary notwith-
standing.
1T follows, therefore. that no added
Il gal weight should be given to the
referendum in Ohio, over that of any
Of the six states whose supreme.
courts have held that a referendum
on "a federal amendment is unauthor-
lied and void"
The Ohio referendum case is be-
Ing contested" says Mr. Wheeler.
| We feel confident we will win the
cortcat. The court is now wrestling
with the problem what to do with
wet precincts where more ballots
were counted than votes were cast in
the precincts"

ADDRESSES TEACHERS

President Henry Noble Mac
Cracker, of Vassar college, was the
principal speaker last night at the
public dinner participated in by the
delegates attending the Virginia as
ISOLATION of woman's colleges and
schools.
Reports for colleges and shoots re-
garding the work now being accomp-
lished consumed much of the session
yesterday.
In the Afternoon the educators were
entertained at the executive mansion
by Mrs Westmoreland Davis.
/. The work of the junior colleges of
the state came up for discussion at
yesterdays meetings, reports being
read. ii was the concensus of opinion
that these institutions are filling a
great need in the state, both for those
graduates who complete their edu-
cation under these conditions and for
those going to standardized colleges
Speaking for the undergraduates,
Miss Margaret Wallerstcin, of West
hampton college. gave it as her
opinion that pessimism toward the
teaching profession is rapidly dying
out among college girls.

SUES DUPONT COMPANY
FOR 100000 DAMAGES

Pleas in abatement filed by the K.
T. DUPONT, DeNemours company to
the suit brought against it by Ivon
W. Payne in the United States dis
triet court. were overruled by Judge
Waddlll yesterday and the case con-
tinued to the next term.
Payne, who was badly scalde
about the body and limbs while at
work for the defendant company in
its powder plant at Hopeweil, is suing
TO recover $4,000 damages. Payne's
home before going to work at the
powder plant was in Staunton, Va,
which is in the Western federal dis
trict and the defendant company
set up III its plea that he was resi-
dent OF that city at the time of
bringing the suit. and therefore the
court for the Eastern district was
without jurisdiction. Judge Waddill,
however, took the view that the
plaintiff had taken up his residence
in hopewell, al the time of the in
jury and that his court was the
proper forum to try the case.
Sterling Norihington. charged with
larceny from the United States mails,
plead guilty, in the district court,
and was fined $7h.
