SWEEPING VICTORY
 FOR TAX PROPONENTS
Judge Enjoins Internal Revenue Collector From Attempting
 to Seize Property
By Associated Press

New Orleans. Decem Der 23.-Oppo- nents of the $500 tax clause of the Vol stead prohibition law won a sweeping victory in the United States district court here late today, when Judge Foster granted iniunctions restraining Rufus W. Fontenot collector of in ternal revenue. from attempting to seize property of three alleged viola tors to enforce payment of taxes.
 Judge Foster not only decided that the process of Ncollection by destraint and seizure of property asserted to by the revenue department was illegal, but held that the charge which Con gress sought to impose under section 55 of the Volstead act lacks every fundamental of the tax"
 Tn rendering this decision Judge Foster reversed thes recent ruling of Federal Judge Hazel of Buffalo, N. T.. who sustained the legality of the Vol stead tax. The conflicting opinions of the two courts. of equal jurisdiction, are the only rulings on the subject to date
 The immediate effect of this decis- ion will be to stay the collection of many thousands of dollars which the revenue department has assessed against residents of this city accused of making or selling intoxicants.
 Subject to instructions from Wash ington. it is said that Henry Mooney, United States district attorney. plans to file an appeal in Collector Fonte- nots behalf. Whether. the appeal can be taken directly to the United States supreme court or must first be taken before the United States circuit cours. rn fD hr r
