ANTl-DRYs TAKE HOPE.
Court Ruling May Show volstead Act
Contains Joker.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Has tho
United States supreme court uncov-
cred Joker" in the yolstead law
to the vets:
Reports TO this effect have been
reaching officials OF the court Cor sew
eral days. The demand Is unprec-
edented for copies OF the opinion OF
The court in the Street case. whicli
decided affirmatiyely the righ- OF an
individual to have and to remove
from place to place stocks OF liquor
TOR personal use acquired before the
enactment OF the VoIstead law.
The Volstead law, In section 3,
under title H.. prohibition OF intoxi-
eating beverages" provides: THAT
nothing in thu; act shall proaibit the
purchase and sale of warehouse re-
ceipts covering distilled spirits on
deposit in government bonded ware
houses, and no spe .i,,l tax libality
shall attach to the business OF pur-
chasing and selling such warehouse
receipts"
Lawyers from every section OF the
country have written and wired the
clerk OF the supreme court for copies
Of the Street decision. This decision
gave Street posse ssion of his private
stock of liquors. acquired before the
enactment OF the Volstead law, which
he had placed in vault of trust
company in New York.
The lawyers are pointing out to the
supreme court officials that liquor
warehouse certificates pass from
owner to owner like liberty bonds. No
evidence of the date of the transfer
Of the warehouse certificate is re
quired or is available so far as the
certificate itself Is concerned.
Large numbers OF these certificates
are held by banks as collaterals for
loans made to patrons. In the regular
business transactions Of the banks
the liquor warehouse certificates are
changing ownership constantly as
loans made on them are liquidated,
shifted, and transferred.
Under the decision in the Street
case it is contended now by lawyers
the holder Of warehouse liquor GER
tificates may withdraw legally his
stock of liquors on surrender of his
certificate and without fear of in
reference by the prohibition agents.
The liquor will be delivered on pre-
sentation of the certificate and On
payment of the revenue tax by the
federal revenue c.Eents. who are dis
tinct from and unidentified with the
prohibition forces. Proof that the
withdrawal liquor is intended for
personal use and not for illegal sale
and evidence of it's immediate desti-
nation may be required by the pro-
hibition officers, it is suggested.
These could be given readily.
Out of the new order of things will
come assistance to many banks thru
the speedy liquidation of loans made
to holders Of large stocks of these
warehouse certificates.
The government treasury will
benefit also if these liquor stocks are
released, because on withdrawal from
the government bonded warehouse
revenue duty of s6 a gallon must be
paid in cash. Should the 10000, 900
gallons be withdra wn the government
would receive s360.ooO.00O a sum
now needed badly by the treasury to

bred from the finest Chesapeake Bay
