A. w. Nelson stated that the City
of Ely had been called upon to con-
tribute $1,000 to help defray the ex-
pense of putting over the Babcock
Amendment and that in his opinion
it was the duty of the Commercial

the City Council. The matter was

was finally decided that the Club de-
fer action until called upon by the
Council provided assistance was to be
needed.
Geo. L. Brozich stated that at a

bers resented this action but insisted
that closed season be called on
moose.

1.-THE courts should show action.
There is no reason why trials Of second
offenders should not 60 ahead. Let the
men start at once to take their medi-
cine. 1t will probably deter others"
Proceedings to revoke 800 permits to
sell liquor and beyond that action on
dealers bonds are the expressed inten-
ton of Charles r. O'Connor, Federal
prohibition director for New York
State. This means $1,000 first offense
fine or six months in Jail, and fines
from 5000 to $4,000 and jail from one
month to five years for second
offenders.
O'Connor said inspectors were check
ing up wholesalers on bogus permits
and are holding them responsible
whether careless, Indifferent or dis
honest. Revenue agents are rounding
up group that released 1000, 900 gal
Ions of whisky from warehouses and
wholesalers through forged permits.
1.-THE attitude Of this department"
O'Connor asserted, lis that whereas
enforcement heretofore has been going
on under the shadow Of an impending
decision, now it comes out into the
full sunshine Of clear title.
Predicts Heavy Penalties
"The courts have been imposing light
sentences and fines, I assume, because
the constitutionality of these laws was
in question. Now I predict that the
man who knowingly violates the law
will be met by the imposition of q
heavy fine, and in some cases by Jail
sentences"
United States Marshal Power fore
sees stricter enforcement in Brooklyn
and easier supervision through the
closing of many saloons.
John B. Quigley. assistant enforce
ment agent, estimates $350,000 collect
able in TOO cases under a prohibition
section empowering agents to collect
special taxes from retail liquor dealers
without arresting them. On notifying
an internal revenue collector tax
double the amount of retail Dealers
permit may be collected, plus $500
penalty. If not Forthcoming, agents
may seize the cash register and bar
fixtures.
Shevlin and Quigley expect to visit
Washington on Thursday to obtain in
formation on the general prohibition
situation. With the recent addition Of
fifty-ive men they have more than $50
to enforce prohibition in New York
State, for, on June I, Connecticut and
Rhode Island were separated from the
district.

10. That power may be exerted
against the disposal for beverage pur-
poses of liquor manufacture before the
amendment became effective, just as it
may be against subsequent manufac-
ture for those purposes. In either
case it is constitutional mandate or
prohibition that is being enforced.
II. While recognizing that there are
limits beyond which Congress cannot
go in treating beverages as within its
power of enforcement, we think those
limits are not transcribed by the pro-
vision of the Volstead act, wherein

of per cent of alcohol by volume

Jacob Rupert vs.. Caffey, 251 U. s.,
Position of Mckenna
In his separate opinion Justice Nc
Kenna complained that the court de-
clares conclusions without giving any
reasons for them. Then he set forth
why he differs with the majority opin-
ion on the subject of concurrent en-
forcement.
"What is meant by the words CON
current power?'" he asked. do they
mean united action or separate and in
dependent action, and if the actions
differ, shall that of Congress be SUI
preme? The government answers that
the words mean separate and independ-
ent action and in case of conflict that
of Congress is supreme, and asserts
