Michigan Prohibition
Statute is Ouerruled
fBv Associated Press)

LANSING. Mich, March 31.-En-
forcement of the prohibition laws in
Michigan was evidently in the hands
of federal officers today and dry"
leaders in the legislature together
with Governor Grosebeck and Attor-
ney General Wiley were framing a
new state dry law to replace the
Wiley act which was virtually nullfied
by a supreme court decision here yes
terday.
The effect of the supreme courts
ruling in the opinion of officials here
was to declare unconstitutional the
search and seizure provision of the
Wiley Act, by reversing circuit
case in which a defendant was con-
victed of illegally transporting liquor
into the state. The court held that
to preevnt interstate traffic in liquor
was duty of federal officers and that
such cases could not be taken under
jurisdiction by state authorities.

anticipated in well-informed quarters
that the allies will apply no turther
penalties until then.
The plan Of collection Of customs on
the line Of the Rhine now has been ap-
proved by the different governments
and their ambassadors will meet in the
near future to adopt it formally.
