CAMDEN SALOON MEN EXPECT
DRY-LAW TEST

High hopes are held by the % for
mer Camden s-aloonkeepers charged
with selling liquor that the Supreme
Court will declare the Van Ness Pro-
hibition Enforcement Act unconstitu-
tional.
The saloonmen who were caught in
the sensational raids made two weeks
ago are delighted with the way in
which Supreme Court Justice Katzen-
bach received the applications made
by Attorney John Harris for writs of
certiorari to test the constitutionality
of the law which the former saloon
keepers are accused of violating.
At the request of Prosecutor VOL
verton the Court adjourned the hear
ing on the applications until August
22d. The defendants and their coun-
sci feel reasonably sure that the writs
will be granted.
Counsel for the accused saloonmen
declared in open court that the Van
Ness act is unconstitutional. The fol-
lowing reasons were given for asking
for writs of certiorari:
"The object of the act is not ex-
pressed in it's title"
"That the act is not an amendment
of the Disorderly Persons Act"
THAT the said act deprives the de-
ponent of his constitutional right to
be presented by a Grand Jury and a
trial by jury.
THAT said act provides for the trial
of deponents in a summary way with
out a jury before the said Judge as
magistrate.
THE said John B. Hates, the Judge
of the Camden Common Pleas Court,
sitting as a magistrate is without
jurisdiction to entertain such COM
plants against these prosecutors of
writs and try them in a summary
way"
"All these questions raised are Sc
rious and worthy of much debate"
said Justice K~atzenbach. "In fact
there are many debatable questions

Many times the bedbug has been
accused Of transmitting disease, but
the investigating scientist of the
United States public health service
says the bug apparently has been
charged with wrongdoing when not
guilty, as the pest has no way save
the mouth in which to carry germs
and is too busy eating to make mouth
germs of any special danger. How
ever. the flea, louise and mosquito have
been convicted of being disease car
riers.
