Ioughlv examined in the hope that he
might present valuable leads.
Capt. John Coughlin, acting inspector
in charge of the bureau of detectives, an
nounced that the horse which drew the
death wagon had been newly shod on his
hind feet. The shoes bore union mark
of the Horseshoers international union.
The 5000 members of the New York
local are being examined. The captain
said he had not established the identity
of the wagon or its owner.
Police discredited the reports that con-
spirators had planned to burn Wall
street. This report gained circulation
after certain pieces of metal had been
found. This metal at first was believed
to be fragments of gasoline or kerosene
cans placed near the scene In an attempt
at arson.
Confident that &" American anarchist
fighters. - who are believed to have
caused the disastrous bomb explosion
would be brought to justice was ex-
pressed today by w. j. Flynn, chief OF
the bureau of investigation of the de-
partment of Justice. Flynn said he was
certain from the similarity of circulars
found in a mail box near Wall street
at the time of the explosion to those
found at the scene of various bomb ex-
blossoms in June, 1919, that the same
crowd of terrorists was responsible for
both outrages.
Torn bits of pink paper were the
only evidence we had last year, said
Flynn. " Now we have whole circulars
dropped into mail box presumably by
the man who set off the bomb half an
hour after letter carrier had emptied
the box In addition there are the
horse and the broken bits of the wagon
in which the bomb was placed. -
Edwin T. Fischer, detained in Ham
iIton, Ont, in connection with the in
vestigation of the explosion, warned
fellow tennis players as much as two
weeks ago to take tip and get their
money out of the bank because "some-
thing is going to happen according
to statement today by J. r. Allen, a
tennis expert who frequently played
with Fischer, himself a city champion.

STATE CAN ACT
IN LIQUOR CASES
Decision BY Full Bench of Massachu-
sets Supreme Court-No Power
Withdrawn by V9lstead Act.

BOSTON, Sept lS.-Illegal sales of IL
quor can be prosecuted under chapter
100 of the Revised law of this common
wealth, according to an important de-
eision handed down by the full bench
Of the supreme court yesterday, sustain
ing the conviction Of Florence Nickerson,
who was charged with selling liquor
without license on Feb. u, 1920.
In view the national prohibition
amendment and its enforcement statute,
the Volstead act, there was some doubt
entertained by the state authorizes as
to whether or not the state law was SUI
berseded by the federal statute and
amendment so that the sale of liquor
within the state could not be prosecuted
by the local authorities.
To remove the doubt, District Attor-
ney Peletier had a test case submitted
to a Jury in the superior criminal court
and held up to await the decision of the
supreme court, all complaints for vio-
iations of the liquor law Mrs. Nicker-
son was convicted and the case was re-
ported to the supreme court by Judge
Dubuque.
The supreme court now holds that the
provisions of the state law that do not
conflict with the Volstead act remain in
force and the present state law IN its
general purpose and scope is prohibitory
and aimed at the enforcement OF prohl-
bition.
The court CONSTITUTES the term Concur
rent power" and all the justices agree
in that construction, but as to the force
and effect of chapter 100 OF the Revised
Laws in the face of the 18th amendment
and the Volstead act, a majority of the
court agree that the state law is still
lucrative in so far as it is in harmony
with the federal act and the 18th amend
ment. but a minority dissent from that
part of the decision of the court though
they do not send down any written de-
cisOu

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
GIVES IT'S PROGRAM
Will Wage War on Lax Prohibition En-
forcers-WiH Ask Congress to
Pass, an "ouster' Law.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l8.-Anti-Sa-
loon league leaders have a definite pro
gram to aid enforcement of prohibition.
They win appeal to congress tor an Gus
ter law to get rid Of judges who wink at
violations and make a mockery OF the
law, oppose the confirmation of judicial
nominations of men whom they have
reason to believe will either not enforce
the law or be Indifferent about it, and
try to keep out of the position of dis
trict attorney any person not IN SYM
pathy with the dry laws.
Congress will be asked for the 'ouster
law" at the December session. Wig
orous lobby will be conducted here to
make congressman see it as the pro-
hibitionists see it," that is the way the
antisaloon leaders put it.
ct is not a wet or dry judge we de-
sire" said Wayne b. Wheeler yesterday,
.'but judge who will enforce the law.
Some men considered wet are the best
enforcement judges.
Some of the judicial districts COM
planned of by the .Anti-Salo9a league are
one district in New Jersey, nne in Penn
sylvania, one in Texas, one in Kentucky
and one in Wisconsin.
The Antl-SalOOn league Will ask loL
more federal judges, so as to keep the
loekets cleared. 1t Is asserted by Its
workers that crowded dockets or ineffec.
tive sentences discourage the representa-
tives of the prohibition unit OF the bu'
reau of internal revenue. From tins
time on, the eye Of the Anti-Saloon
league is going to be ON all aspirants for
federal judgeships.
Those who would preside over the
courts that try makers of Illicit liquor
nd sellers will have to toe the mark Of
he Anti-Saloon league, or stand chance
If being refused vote of approval by

sure used by Dinwiddie and Wheeler, the

pending.

the law" is what the Anti-Saloon leaguc
demands.
