the validity of constitutional prohib-
ition. 1t is announced that appli-
cation Of Rhode Island for permission
to start directly in the Supreme Court
a suit to determine the validity of the
prohibition amendment was granted
today. This eliminates all delays in
hearings, rulings, decisions, etc., and
brings the issue right into the Su-
preme Court alb initio.
Rhode Island, which state appears
by it's attorney general, claims that
the amendment cannot be enforced in
that state because the state refused
its ratification; and the claim is set
up also that enforcement of the amend
ment would infringe upon the states
sovereign rights and police power.
At the same time as this action
of the state of Rhode Island the Ohio
"wets" and "drys" joined forces In
asking the Supreme court to advance
the time for argument in the suit of
the state of Ohio to test the right
of states to override ratification of a
constitutional amendment by their
legislatures through resort to refer
endum, as was done in Ohio.

WASHINGTON, January 19.-Com
manders of the army stationed along
the Mexican border have been warned
in a general order sent out from Fort
Sam Houston, Texas, to take every
precaution against thefts of ammu-
milton, as set forth in a letter to the
War Department, which is signed by
Col. w. A. Holbrook. chief of staff

number of thefts through finding
there a ready market for their sale.
Further attempts may be expected

What meal has the Townley gang

of legislation during the past four
years. What has come out Of the sack

the hook was too bare and the farmer
