 At Once.

Elmer Lingo, a jeweler of 54 Or land street, drew $603 out of the bank yesterday morning, intending to use the cash to purchase a ticket to Europe. Last night Lingo attended the performance at Polls theatre, and after paying for his ticket out of the money which he secured from the bank, slipped his pocketbook into an overcoat pocket and promptly forgot all about the cash.
 While dressing himself this morn. ing, the jeweler happened to think of the bankron. He looked in the pocket of his overcoat and discovered much to his diSnay, that the money had vanished. Lingo thought hard about the missing cash, and finally remembered that he had last handled the money at Poli's.
 Reporting at police headquarters, Lingo secured detective who accom- panied him to the theatre The lights were turned on, and there in the box right behind the chair in which Lingo had been sitting was the pocketbook and the money intact The jeweler is going to purchase his steamship ticket before the mones gets away from him a second time.

 claimed there was no evidence to show negligence on the part of the motorrnan and therefore the motion for non-suit should be granted. Judge Carl Foster and Attorney Samuel c. Shaw, counsel for Wilson's eXecutor main tained that the motorman saw Wilson while the car was IS feet dis tant and therefore had the Hast clear chance to avoid the fatality.
 Wilson had beenS visiting with friends on Beechwood avenue on the
 night in February. 1919. when he waa struck and was walking home at the time of the fatality.

Europe IIl Danger Ot
 Losing Her Position
PREMIER MYTH SAYS SHE IS NO LONGER ON CREDITOR SIDE OF LEDGER-TOUCHES
 SLIGHTLY ON ADRIATIC

London, March 4..--Europe is in danger of permanently losing the po- sition she held in the world before the outbreak of the world war, says Pre- mier Nitti of Italy in an interview printed by the Manchester Guardian today. He points out that Europe is no longer a creditor but is on the debit side of the ledger.
 Public order in Italy is good, says the premier, and if that country could get her minimum requirements in coal, foodstuffs and raw materials she would be able to reconstitute herself economically.
 Only brief allusion to the Adriatil problem is made in the interview. we shall find a way out" says the premier, "and we and the Jugo Slavs will be friends. Don't magnify this frontier controversy by talking of inn perialism. Onr persistent demand for i the naturalization of the eastern coast
 of the Adriatic proves the futility of the allegation of imperialism against Italy Feeling naturally exists over 1 Plume, because the future of some
 Italians is immediately concerned, but
 thees are really questions of statistics
 and not of wild ambitions.
 1 What after all, is Italy demand 1 ing in the Adriatic? She wants strips
 of territory, the population which is | less than the Italian casualties in the war. Do not confuse issues by talk i ing of secret treaties. The pact of London was concealed only because l of the necessities of the war, and, al | any rate, those who might complain l are, after all, the Italian people," There are possibilities of revo-
 lution,' says Signor Nitti in discuss ing the general situation, "and these possibilities threaten us all. The tension must be relaxed. How car the vanquished pay indemnities un- less their productivity is restored by aIIocation of raw materials? It is 2
 great thing we are not going to suf locate the Turk, but will help him tC
 his feet like any ruined people,

UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO REGULATE HABITSAND
 MORALS OF PEOPLES
IN 21 STATES LEGISLATURES HAVE NOT RATIFIED - SEEK TO PREVENT EN- FORCEMENT OF VOLSTEAD ACT
 STATE HAS NOT CONQUERED.

Washington, March 4-The State of New Jersey, through it's attorney general, Thomas F. McCran, today filed in the United States Supreme Court it's suit seeking to have the constitutional prohibition amendment declared null and void and to prevent enforce ment of the Volstead act, Jos eph A. Lanigan, Assistant State Attorney, has asked for an Iearly hearing on the petition which is directed against A. Mitchell Palmer, United States Attorney General, and Daniel c. Roper, Commissioner of h. ternal Revenue.
 The bill of complaint sets forth thai the amendment was improperly drawn that in 21 states the legislatures have not ratified it as provided by their state constitutions and that there is no power in Congress to propose a con stituhonal amendment regulating the habits and morals of the peoples. It recites further that the amendment is a legislative and not a constitutional matter and that as such it was i'm i properly passed.
 l Complaint also is made thaE the amendment establishes cen HaIiza- 1 ton of power and authority without 1 the consent of the people of the state | of New Jersey and that it is a viola ton of their sovereign rights The Volstead act having been enacted with the internal government of the people and operates to punish them
 under authority of the 18th Amend
 ment, the petition says if is itseR null and void.
 i Continuing the petition states that i the Volstead act is illegal because by l 'depreciating and in a large measure destroying the taxable value of real state,'' 1t is destructive of the state s free and independent government, be- cause it deprives the state of revenues from licenses, which in 1918 amounted to g AZ, ,899, and because it interferes by heavy fines, Imprisonment and for feitures, thus preventing the apPl1ca- ton for licenses for the sale of non intoxicating beverages which is au- thorized and legal under the laws o1 the state.
 Complaint is made further that the act restricts the practice of physi-
 cians and surgeons of the state and
 the operation of its penal, corrections and charitable institutions. that th'
 state has not concurred in the na-
 tionaI amendment and that if the ac1 is enforced it nul1ifies the right Of the state to regulate it's internal affairs and further that the act is Rot appro-
 priate to enforce the prohSo1ttcn con tained in the amendment, which i expressly confined and limited to in toxicating liquors.
 In connection the complaint de 1 clares, that if the aTnendESnt i valid, the right of the federal eongres to legisIate under it is restricted tt
 matters relating to ''the external con icerns of the United States and within 1.-the peculiar domain of the federa
 government to regulate commerc'
 among the states and the stSte Sten
 has the power to enforce the ac+ with 1 in it's own borders
