DRY AMENDMENT
AGAIN ATTACKED
GENERAL OF NEW
JERSEY ARGUES AGAINST 1T
IN SUPREME COURT.

Washington, March 31.--The 18th
amendment to the constitution known
as the prohibition amendment, is leg
islative in nature and revolutionary
in character declared Attorney Gen.
eral Thomas McGran of New Jersey,
in opening his argument before the
United States supreme court in New
Jerseys suit to have the amendment
declared void and the Volstead act
unconstitutional. Eight points were
raised and discussed in the argument
Attorney General McGran's brief
declared that the 18th amendment
was not constitutionally proposed; !;
that the proposal is subject to judicial
review; that in congress two-thirds
in number of both houses did not af-
firmatively vote for the proposal of
the resolution; that three-fourths of
the states have not ratified in the con-
stitutional sense.
The brief also declared that the
national prohibition act is not appro-
pirate legislation; that there is no
right in congress to legislate outside
the words of the amendment; that
the words beverage purposes" suf-
ficiently describe the limit within
which congress will legislate and
that the term Intoxicating liquors
is it's own definition; that the Vol
stead law fixing the standard is OPP
pressive and unconstitutional; that
the Volstead law is unconstitutional
in that it attempts to interfere with
the rights of physicians and drug
gists to furnish liquor; that the in
stitutions owned and conducted by the
state of New Jersey are hampered
| and restricted by the arbitrary act OF
congress. The history of New Jersey
and it's relation to the federal gov
ernment, both before and since the
adoption of the constitution was dis
cussed in the brief, while the heights
which the states surrendered for the
purpose of forming more perfect
union are retails at length.
The brief also stated that the II
amendments to the constitution pri
or to the 18th, prohibition amend
ments" are subjects relating to the
structure and form of government
and are not amendments revolution
ary in character and which deprive
the states of their sovereign powers
| In a supplemental brief filed b.
New Jerseys attorney general an en-
tirely novel point is made "that th'
right to amend the constitution is ;
right of the people of the Unite,
States as distinguished from the peo
pie of a particHAar state; that the peo
pie of the United States have only ma
tional powers, the police power beinI
reserved to the states, and the righ
of internal police being right of tn
people of New Jersey over which tn
people of the United States have n
control. This right may not be take
from them without their consent"

SENSATION IN
MURDER CASE
SEARLE DEFENSE PRESENTS AN
IMPORTANT WITNESS.

Deadwood, March 31.-The first
sensation in the trial of Mr.. and Mrs
George Searle, charged with murder
ing Mrs. Hilda Neamy, Mrs. Searle's
mother, at her home in Lead last De-
cember and then burning the body in
a furnace of the Neamy block where
she lived, came when Mrs. Angeline
Holland, an intimate friend of the
deceased and the two defendants,
was called by the state. She testi-
fled Mrs. Searles told her shortly be-
fore her mothers death that she was
worried about her mother. That she
was afraid her mother was losing her
mind. Mrs. Holland told of visiting
at the Neamy block, March IA. at
which time she was requested by
Judge w. G. Rice, counsel for de-
PENDANTS, to get into the furnace In
which Mrs. Neamy was found. She
said she first placed stool in front
of the furnace, placed her hands upon
the stool and put her feet in through
the door of the furnace, which is
three feet from the floor, and with
| the aid of chair pushed herself into
the furnace, which had been filled
beforehand with paper and "a half
sticks of cordwood.
Mrs. Holland weighs 154 pounds
and is about feet inches tall, about
| the same weight and height as Mrs
Neamy.
When Mrs. Holland got into the
| furnace she turned over and lay in
| practically the same position as that
in which Mrs Neamy was found.
The state has contended that Mrs.
Neamy was killed before being placed
in the furnace and the defense is that
she committed suicide. The defense
claims the fracture in the skull was
caused from her hitting her head
against the side of the crate of the
furnace.
Whether or not chair was used
or was near the furnace at the time
of Mrs. Neamy's death was not dis
closed
DR.. G. G. Faris, of Denver, a den-
tist, was next placed on the stand and
testified that blow struck on the
head would cause detection of the
jaw, as was true in the case of Mrs
Neamy.

VOTE Of WOMEN
TO FALL SHORT
WOMAN'S PARTY ESTIMATES THE
BALLOTS WILL BE LESS
THAN MEMS VOTE.

Washington, March 31.-Ballots
cast by women in the coming presi-
Dental election will fall short of the
potential mems vote by over $780,
900, provided the suffrage amend
ment is ratified and state registration
laws enacted in time to permit wom-
en- all over the country to participate,
according to estimates by the National
Woman's party.
With the 1910 census as basis,
the Woman's party estimates the
number of men eligible to vote at 49,
577,690, and the possible woman vot-
ers at 26,882,566. In 1916, how
ever, the actual vote cast for all va
rious presidential candidates was 49,
,528,743, omitting ballots thrown out
for cause, which leaves over 11,000,-
900 possible votes unregistered. II
as large proportion of the men vot-
ers remain Indifferent in the coming
election, women political leaders here
say that the eagerness of women &c
exercise their newly acquired privi
lege may more than offset the dis.
parity in numbers between the sexes
In five of the states, moreover
women of voting age outnumber the
men. Massachusetts has the creates
preponderance of women voters
with 58,264 more women than men
North Carolina is next with a WON
ems majority of 1928 and Soutl
Carolina with 10,307 is third. II
Rhode Island women of voting ag'
outnumber the men by 1896 and il
Maryland by 1892.

In one cut rotary snow plow was
stalled when it struck the bodies of
12O dead cattle.
The animals had gone into the cut
during the storm for shelter and were
smothered by the drifting snow.

SCHOOL BOARD
FIXES SALARIES
MINIMUM SCALE ADOPTED FOR
CITY TEACHERS FOR 192O-1921
SUBSTANTIAL RAISE.

A wave of strong criticism in con-
nection with the inadequate salaries
of teachers both in city and rural
schools has swept the country during
the past year and now boards of edu-
cations everywhere are beginning to
realize that unless they grant better
remuneration for the services Of their
instructors they will be forced to en-
ploy second-rate people or close their
schools. Many boards have taken
warning and are increasing salaries
somewhere near a point that is COM
mensurate with the preparation re-
quired and the cost of living
The city board of education met
last evening for the purpose of fix
ing a minimum scale for the year
192O-21.
The scale to be put into effect next
fall is as follows:
Elementary school grades, $1,100;
elementary school principal, $1,000;
junior high school, $1,000; senior
high school, $1,4OO; senior high
school principal, $4,000; assistant
high school principal, $1,000; special
teachers, $1,100; commercial teach
ers, $1,000; manual training instruc-
tor, $1,700.
At last nights meeting Supt. ]. W.
Ault asked that he be not reelected
for the coming school year. just
what his plans are are not yet known
anyway, he has served school inter
ests well during the time he has been
at the head of the city schools.
