TONS
After the conference II was learned
that the enforcement officers hold to
the view that the decision will not
affect whiskey in bonded warehouses. 1t
was pointed out that the language of
the decision was very specific In de-
filming legitimate ownership for legal
use before the Volstead act became
effective.
There is. II is said. very little whiskey
in private st rage which was stored
before the nation went dry. Conse-
quently there will be no release of great
quantities now.
In the view OF prohibition officers
after careful study of the decision
whiskey in bonded warehouses will not
be affected by the decision and owner
ship of a certificate. for such whiskey
would not constitute ownership for
legitimate use before such possession
was made Illegal. Despite this fact.
there Is little doubt however, that
property rights in warehouse certificates
will be tested.

corn has turned over in his grave. His
phantom has returned to earth TO
haunt and terrorize com accent pro-
hibitionists and to bring solace to his
boon companions who have been with
out his convivialty since January l6.
With the official demise of Barley
corn last January many were in
cuned to consider the liquor problems
of this country settled. The Eighteenth
Amendment to the Constitution de-
clared the manufacture, sale and
transportation of wet goods a viola
ton of the law. That seemed TO set
tie it in the minds of many-the
United States had become a dry ma

But with wet Mexico on one side OF
the line and on the other ready mar
ltet for the thousands of gallons OF
American whskey that flowed into the
southern republic just before the Eigh-
teenth Amendment went into effect. the
inevitable has happened. The desoiate
Mexican border is infested with many
men of every character, to whom run

on the American side their forbidden
liquids find quick sale at prices that

Heretofore II has not been necessary
for them to so far from towns along
the border TO cross the line safely. Con-
'ederates on the Mexican side make
their purchases OF liquors. The time
and place OF meeting are fixed. Two
cars meet at the international boundary
or at opposite points on the shallow Rio
Grande. The Illicit cargo is trans
ferred quietly from one conveyance to
he other and the goods are safely on the
American side OF the line.
Fights Are Frequent.
Fights along the border between Of
fcers and line runners occur often. Their

The high powered cars that drive 10
lonely points of the border to be nlied

these wholesalers. who for the most
