if both parties wish divorce, that is
a almost certain bar to obtaining it.
They are accused of collision. In Rus

PROHIBITION TEST
FROM NEW JERSEY
Arguments Already Made in Cases
of Rhode Island, Kentucky and
Massachusetts.

Washington, March 15.-All phas-
es of the prohibition question will be
heard by the supreme court before
handing down It's decision upon the
validity of the prohibition amend
ment and the Volstead act.
Having heard arguments in the
Rhode Island, Kentucky and Massa-
chusetts cases, the court today grant
ed the state of New Jersey permls-
sion to institute original proceedings
to test the amendment. 1t also fixed
March 20 for hearing arguments IN
the New Jersey proceedings, on ap-
peal by Christian Feigenspan, a New
ark. N. J.. brewer, and on govern
ment appeals in injunction proceed
ings against the Maitowoc Products
company, a Wisconsin concern.
The two appeals cases apply prln-
cipally to the validity of the prohlbl-
ton amendment in so far as it relates
to the manufacture of beer alleged
to be Notwithstanding. The govern
ment won the former but lost the lat
ter case in the lower courts.
The court also took under advise
ment motions asking that arguments
be heard on appeals involving inter
pretations of the amendment and the
Volstead act docketed today from
New York and San Francisco. The
former appeal resulted from the de-
NAL Of injunctions to prevent federal
agents from seizing Intoxicating IL
ouors assigned for private consump'
ton but held in storage.
In view of the multiplicity of re-
quests for hearings, the court pro-
posed a two weeks recess planned to
begin March 90.

WILL BENET RUN
AGAINST SMITH -?
Columbian Reticent as to Future IN
State Politics.

News and Courier.
Columbia, March 16.-lnformatlon
has come from Washington and other
places that Christie Benet of Colum-
bia might oppose Senator Ellison
Durant Smith of Lynchburg for the
United States senate in the coming
primaries in 1920. This information
is without authenticity as far as can
be ascertained at Columbia tonight.
Mr.. Benet, who is former United
States senator appointed by ex-Gov.
Richard I. Manning to succeed
the late Senator Benjamin Ryan Till
man when he died and was defeated
by William P. Pollock of Cheraw in
a race with Mr.. Pollock and Thomas
H. Peoples, then attorney general of
the state in a special primary election
held at the call of former Governor
Manning.
Senator Benet tonight was reticent
as to his position in future State
politics when questioned by news
paper man. Various allegations have
come out of Washington that Senator
Smith is being opposed for reelec-
ton by various members of the South
Carolina house delegation. These al
legations have not been officially
substantiated, however, but they are
practically true, and these members
have attempted to get various South
Carolina prominent men to oppose
the senior senator. Among those
who have been mentioned as candi-
dates against Senator Smith other
than Senator Benet have been Col.
William Banks of Columbia and
William P. Pollock of Cheraw. 1t is
more than probable that ex-senator
Pollock will announce against Sena-
tor Smith.

Head of Clemson Requests Inquiry.
The State.
Clemson College, March 16.-W.
M. Riggs, president of Clemson col
leee. and J. NJ. Cummins, command
ant, have requested Senator Alan
Johnstone, president of the board OF
trustees, to have thorough investl-
cation made into their respective Of
fees.
The letter from President Riggs
follows:
"Dear Mr.. Johnstone:
81 think it wise to request the
sboard Of trustees to. have thorough
investigation of the conduct OF the
presidents office. 1t is always the
history of student movements OF the
kind through which we have just
passed, that after every specific
er.und of complaint has been dispos-
ed of the defense then turns upon a
lack of confidence in the college au-
thorities, particularly the president.
During disturbances of this kind,
and in the events leading up to them
absurd rumors are circulated which
are eagerly seized upon. Nothing is
so common as to have an entire stu
dent body sincerely believe rumors
which have no foundation whatever
in fact.
"At the same time it is very neces-
sary in order that the atmosphere be
thoroughly cleared to have every
phase of this matter looked into.
'Despite the fact that the recent
list of student grievances contained
no specific complaint against the
president, I am convinced that they
feel such grievances.
81 have another reason for making
this request. Since the board has
disapproved or provided remedy
for grievances already presented
there is left no excuse to deter mem,
bers of the junior and senior classes
who comply with your recent orders
from returning to Clemson, if they

COMMITTEE MAKES
CADET STATEMENT
Student Representatives Say Ques-
tion Has Been Shifted Too Much
to One Of Mess Hail.
The State.

The State.
Clemson College, March 16.-De-
claring that 1.-The whole trouble may
be summed up in lack of confidence
in the authorities, duly constituted
though they be-" the committee OF
three juniors and seniors left at the
college has issued a statement on the
Clemson situation. when 500 men
leave an institution there is some
thing deeper than mere question OF
food in the mess hall The issue has
been shifted too much to that, says
the statement, which follows IN full:
'.In order that our action may not
be misunderstood by the people OF
the state at large, we wish to issue
the following statement regarding
the findings of the board of trustees:
"When we were left here by the
junior and senior classes, we were
given absolute authority to present
our petition to the board of trustees
and do what in our judgment, we
saw best. Under that authority, we
struck out the last clause Of the peti-
ton in which it was stated thai we
would not return TO Clemson college
if the said requests were no: granted,
and in such form, we presented the
petition to the board Of trustees. It
is true it was stricken out after the
departure Of the classes, but it is
also true that we had the authority
for 50 doing.
"H the board was not convinced
from our statement thas such author
ity existed in US, it is certainly inn
possible to make cur position clear.
AS to our individual positions with
reference to the findings Of the
board, they were all stated spec'l-
cally. We can not see how the board
felt that the only document before it
was in the form of an absolute ultl-
matum. The idea that the corps of
cadets looks down on labor IS all
wrong. This is proved by the fact
that between January a I'd June of
last year, the present senior class
voluntarily did most of the work that
was done in the mess hall. The, corps
of cadets does not object to military
discipline nor are we so foolish as 20
denv the right to law AMI order, and
if such an idea be prevaicr- through
out the state, it is mistaken one'
but when 800 men leave an lnstltu~
ton. there is something deeper than
mere question of food IN the mess
hall. The issue has been shifted TOO
much to that. The whole trouble
NAV be summed up in lack OF con-
fidence in the authorities, duly con-
stituted though they be. If such a
condition exists, there is Il reason
and we hope that the question VIII
not rest until everything is brought
to light"
