Convicted Liquor Seller Contends State
Has Lost Right to Prosecute Under
Prohibition Amendment State
Can't Define Liquor.

BOSTON, July Did the court of
Massachusetts lose jurisdiction of pro-
secution made under its statutes for viola
tion of the liquor law when the 18th
amendment to the. constitution of the Uni
ted States took effect? That question
was argued before the full bench of the
supreme court today and on its answer
depend at least 100 cases on the superior
criminal court calendar. Chief Justice
Rugg deemed the matter of sufficient pub
lie Importance to summon judges back
from their vacations so that there might
be speedy determination of the issues
involved
In the case heard To-Day counsel for
the defendant, who was found guilty in
the superior court of selling liquor, con-
tended that until Massachusetts, in com
ance with the provisions of the 18th
pIiance with the provisions of the 18th
amendment, enacted appropriate legisla-
tion the state had lost all rights to make
prosecutions for liquor sold for beverage
purposes He further argued that the
state granted to congress the right to De
fine what was an intoxicating beverage
and thus destroy the force and effect OF
the Massachusetts laws.

Embargo on Crushed Stone Not to

River Bridge to Be Guyed - Old
Steel Bridge May Be Salvaged.

A variety of town matters are engaging
the attention of the town officials Just
now. The question of new highway
bridge across West river, near the juno
ton with the Connecticut river, is always
before the selectmen and today the select
men decided to guy the old wooden struc-
ture to keep it from tipping further to the
east. Although the bridge is tipping very
slowly the movement is constant, and it
was thought best to stop the movement
before it is too late
All three of the seectmen went to the
bridge this morning with Robert Coombs.
representing the Fred T. Ley Co. of
Springfield, Mass, and Mr.. Coombs was
engaged to guy the bridge with cable.
The cable viii be attached as high up as
possible and get under the West River
railroad bridge, and it will be extended
to some point on the river bank and at
tached to a log buried in the ground
The selectmen have heard from the
United Construction Co., to whom the
contract was awarded for furnishing a
steel arch bridge to replace the one de-
stroyed March s, between this village and
Island Park, to the effect that the Amer
lean Bridge CO. has been engaged to make
the bridge in its plant in Delaware also
to erect it on the old foundation.
The question of salvaging the old bridge,
which is now on the bottom of the river
some 800 feet below the abutments, ia
still under consideration. The selectmen
have been in correspondence this week with
parties who wish to buy it, and it is
likely that the most advantageous offer
will be accepted. Doubtless the old bridge
viii be taken out of the river before
freezing weather.
If the weather holds good Road Com
missioner C.. j. Dube expects to have the
repair work on the west side of Main
street completed by tomorrow night. Next
week the east side viii be repaired from
the Elliot street junction, north to the
town hail. The coarse crushed stone will
be given a covering of pea stone and
binder. Elliot street also win be re-
paired as far west as the Princess theater.
Road Commissioner Dube has about 10000
gallons of binder on hand
On account of an embargo on crushed
stone it win be impossible to get any
more until September The amount of pea
stone now en- route is just about enough
| to complete the Main street job.
! Three bins for crushed stone have just
been built by the Lev Co. at the gravel
| deposit recently bought by the town on
South Main street. Stone crushing MAJ
chinery has arrived, and the concern
which furnished it will set up the ma
chinery soon.

territory and will not evacuate it until
all the conditions of the present agree
ment have been fulfilled"
