CONSTITUTIONALITY OF ANTI-
 BEER BILL MAY BE TESTED
 BY VETS IN SUPREME COURT

about a sharp realignment of opinion in Congress, is entirely aside from the pros and cons of prohibition from the moral viewpoint. It may be said, too, that some of the Governments chief legal advisers take the view that the Senate, following the lead of the House, which rode rough Shod over all opposition that presented itself, further raise the restrictions against alcoholic liquors, which doctors should be left free, in their judg- ment, to prescribe for known ail- ments.
 Of course, these opponents of the new beer legislation recognized that the Prohibition law conferred ex- traordinary powers upon enforce ment officials in the matter of reg ulating the "medicinar' traffic, which they say, is clearly legalized by the national act. But this authority, it is held was given to govern permits and other procedure set up to sur round the handling of medicinal H- quors-
 Wet leaders admit that Congress can go to any length 70 prohibit i- quors for "beverage" purposes, but say that Congress has over-leaped it's constitutional powers in interfering with proper use of 'tnon-beyerage'' i- quors of any kind. Although the t+wets'' have been beaten all the way in their many court contests over the dry laws they are still alive and active and now stand ready, it is un- alleging the unconstitutiona1ity of anti-beer legislation, and with the United States Supreme Court as the objective.

 Washington, July 23-Another Su- preme Court test of the constitutional limits of the Prohibition law IS now inevitable, since the Senate has de- cided to outlaw -medicinaP' beer
 Opponents of the Willis-CampbeH AutfReer bill asserted today that the measure will be declared unconsti- tutional They declared that the Ma tionaf Prohibition act gives to Con gress no authority to interdict the manufacture or sale of liquors of any kind for "non-beverage purposes"
 Many Senators, in fact, strong in their antagoniSm to the Anti-Beer bill. today pointed out what seemed to them it's absurdides- That it will not stand the test of the courts was their prediction
 Review of the provisions of the Ma tional Prohibition act, ratified by the LesisIatures of most of the States, left to the Government, in it's enforce ment work, no power to prohibit purely medicinal liquors, whether spirituous or malt, according to the contention of these Senators
 Dry leaders, however, in this as in other matters are lreconcillable, and they are willing to take their thrown out by the courts. If it goes through the long process of 1itiga- tion, through appeal from one court to another. of course the 'tdrys'' will win an advantage, which may be con- Sidered important, even if it shall be only. temporary.

REFUSES TO TAKE
 HIS WIFE BACK

New York. July 2s-Mrs. Clark Durea, accompanied by her daughter. Gladys, nine,' reappeared yesterday at the home of Policeman Joseph Bo- browskie in Caldwell, N. J., where she and the child and Earl Yer Nooy, her partner in the 'platonic elope- ment," spent three days as rooIners last week Yer Nooy reappeared at the Julius Koch contractors plant and took away a box of tools he left when discovery of his presence in Rutherford with Mrs. Durea caused them to leave Rutherford and return in a night ride to Monticello, N- r., seeking reconciliation with their de- serted mates.
 Dureau declined to take his wife to his bosom. He told her he had no place for her, that he had sold every thing he had and had no money. She sobbed on his breast and he patted her back.
 What is to become of me? My own parents have turned their hacks on me and say I have disgraced them. Where shall I go?" she asked Durea-
 Her husband significantly nodded at the flivver in which Yer Nooy sat awaiting the result of the interview. Mrs. Durea climbed into the car af- ter helping her daughter into it and the three drove off.
 Yer Nooy in Rutherford told the men at the plant where he worked last week as a carpenter he was com ing to this city. Mrs. Durea told Mrs. coming here. Mrs. Bobrowskie sym pathizes with the woman and want ed to help her, but Fred W. Sheaf, Mayor of Rutherford and the police chief there told Policeman Bobrow- skie he had better find other roomers

OVERTHROW OF MORALS AIM
 OF YOUTH
By HI. K. REYNOLDS, N. & Staff Correspondent.l

Washington, July 23-Chaperones for young folks, and especially for those who take part in what inspector Grant of the Washington Police De- partment calls jazz auto rides are being strongly advocated here with Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president of the District of Columbia Congress of Mothers, leading the way.
 Inspector Grant believes that the automobile is the "greated medium of vice. and Mrs. Rafter declares:
 'fThe elimination of chaperones is one of the causes of the decline Of don-too much freedom will spoil the best of boys and girls
 'HThe tendency today is feeling Of repulsion against restraint. and the girls and boys are doing pretty much as they please" the police official says. 'sIt would be we'll if the mother or some responsible person could ac- company the young couple on some of their rides, and perhaps the jazz auto riding and wild parties would stop
 toying their first taste of real free dom. They are like a. man who takes a drink for the first time- He says to himself, oh. one drink won't hurt me- But then he takes another and then another. and finally becomes in todcated.
 .That is the way with women and their new freedom They try all these new fangled things. They think if they do it once they won't want to do it again, but. finally, just like the men they become intoxicated. And these things may be anything from jazz auto riding to spooning."
 Mrs. Rafter thinks that the Amert- can girl has etoo much freedom"
 'The parents alone are to blan1e,~ she says. 'f the girls wear skirts that are too short, rouge, smoke, spend too much money and ffrt, it is their parents fault They allow them too much freedom
 "I have always been firm believer in proper chaperonage. The parents should know what their daughters are doing when they are out and who their associates are. Too much free dom will spoil the best of boys and girls"

TO FREE KARL
 HkU IN 1925

Baden-Baden, Germany, July 2S = Karl Hau, a lawyer of Wash1ngton, D. C. who has been serving life sen tence here for the murder of his Militor of Baden-Baden, will be given his freedom in 1925. he has been not flied by the Baden government The government gave no reason for the pardon or for the unusual fact that 1t was announced four years before 1t becomes effective.
 When the American once again takes up his work in the world he will have forgotten much of his law, for he has had little time to read, but he will be an expert table maker. at which task he has been engaged since his Imprisonment began in 1906.
 Hau'a conviction, no circumstant1a1 evidence, attracted wide attention in Germany. The widow M1lItor' repu- ted wealthy and with no other heirs except her two daughters, Olga and Dr. Hau's wife, was shot in the back on the streets of Baden Baden in No vernber 1906, as she was answering an alleged telephone call from a tel egraph office This telephone call is said to have been the work of Hau- intended to lure Mrs. MoHtor to the street, where a man with false black beard shot her. Hau fled to London where he later was arrested.
 A barber testified he affixed a false beard on Hau that day, Hau's wife. Lima, whom he had met and married in zurcih, where they were both stu dents, committed suicide after her husbands conviction leaving letter in which she asked that the names of her children be changed, for she believed Bau had murdered her mother.
 When convicted Hau was in the employ of the Standard Oil Company, assigned to Constantinople. He was born in Bernkastel, Germany.

Curiosity Impels Briand To Call For Cable Copy
 Of Correspondents

Paris, July 23-The interest that Premier Briand takes in Franco American relations at the present time was illustrated recently when the Premier asked American cores pondents to send over to him all cables which had been sent to the States on these questions. He was particularly interested to see how the American press correspondents had interpreted one of his speeches and one of President Harding's from the French point of view.
 A member of the Foreign Office, asked why Premier Briand wished to see copies of cables sent to America, replied: I'M. Briand at the present moment is so enthusiastic about Fran co American political relations that he srmpIy could not wait till American arrived to see how Amer ican correspondents here had under stood the latest developments He ex- pressed great pleasure in the way the matter had been handled by for -eign correspondents and is a firm be- liever that bonds uniting the two countries will grow stronger every day."

 THE FAR WEST

Denver. July 23-The hooded tribe has invaded the West The so-cak1ed invisible empire"-KnsnA4s of the Ku Kulx Kan-has organized units at Colorado Springs and Denver, ac- cordfng to the territorial great gob- lin" of the order. Emissaries with proper credentials have been sent in to Utah, wyoming, New Mexico, Ne vada, Idaho and Montana for the purpose of whipping together a de- partmentaI division of the clan
 Although the clan is self appoint ed, the "great goblin" declares the purpose of the organization to be '+the protection and maintenance of the United States Government and the flag, as well as the maintenance of the supremacy of the white race.''
 The claim is made that the clan is to place itself under call by consti- tuted authority. Three thousand clansmen will be ready on a few min utes' notice to respond to call by Denver's chief of police. it was said However, authorities at this time have no intention of calling on the 'tinvis- ible empire" feeling that constituted authority possesses enough arms for the protection of the public veal

CIGARETTE SMOKING IS DIRECT CAUSE
 OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY, COURT
 OFFICIALS STATE IN MISSIONARIES

(By International News Service)
 Washington, July 23.-Cigarette smoking is regarded by court officials chief causes of juvenile crime in a.d- dition to the deleterious effect of to- bacco on the health of boys and girls, according to an investigation just com mpleted by the Board of Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
 QuestionnaireS were mailed to judges of juvenile courts and answers received by the board indicate that a large percentage of the officers who deal with juvenile crimes are con- vinced that cigarette smoking is a di- rect cause of delinquency.
 Others call attention to the bad eff fectS of cigarettes on school, work, with resultant truancy, id1eness, bad associations and crime
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-07-23

Smoking tends to break down the health and to cause abnormal view points and moods and thus lead fT<Gi- judges, while others Say that the use of cigarettes by minors is an effect of idleness and truancy rather than 8 cause.
 Lack of parental control is blamed in some quarters for the prevalence of cigarette smoking among deHnquentS
 An unexpected number of court of ficiaJs, however, the board stated. re fer to "demoralizing motion pictures as a crime cause, some speak strongly in regard to bad conditions usually obtaining at pool rooms and a great many refer to the divorce evil, and the increasing lack of interest by pa rents in the home as direct cause of the breakdown of moral character in children"

JAPAN CUTS
 NAVAL BUDGET

Tokio. July 2S-The naval estimate calling for the expenditure of 5oO,- 000,0 900 yen (nominally about $250,- ooo,0o0) for the fiscal year 1921-22 is smaller that it would have been if Ad miral Baron Kato. Minister of Ma rine. had not insisted upon economy in the cost of maintenance, says the Nichi Nichi.
 This estimate is about equal to the naval appropriations made for the current year.
 It is hoped, by cutting down the cost of the navy's ordinary expenses, to leave available about 275,000,000 yen for continuing the program of con structing eight battleships and eight cruisers. This would be equal to the amount spent on construction this year.
 The Minister of Marine apparently is determined that nothing shall in terfere with the progress of the build ing program
 The following principles of econo- my have been decided upon, according to the Nichi Nichi.
 First, there shall be economy in personnel. There are too many high ranking officers in the Japanese navy compared with the navieS of other powers. Great Britain has 2 admir- als and 22 vice-admria1s, while Japan has IS admrialS and 26 vice admiralS. Britain has 120.Oo0 men in service and Japan S0,00O.
 Maintenance costs are to be cut by reducing the number and size of the standing squadronS- Only one such squadron will be left. The Third Squadron will be reduced in size and placed on special duties The remain ing vessels are to be anchored as the fourth fleet, in reserve The number of men on such vessels will be dras tically reduced Fuel consum ption will be be cut to the lowest possible figure.
 The system of allowing men in ser vice to return home before their time of service has expired will be greatly extended. In this way a considerable amount of food and clothing can be saved
 Obsolete vessels will be disposed of.
 By exercising economy along these lines the navy expects to cut down the ordinary expenditures to 150 0,o00, 900 yen. This would leave a margin for special expenses

 To a great extent, this growth in the business of the divorce court is attributed in a judicial report to the facilities for instituting proceedings provided since 1914 for the benefit of the poor people who brought 2,341 f.the 5.<6s suits.
