Senator Sutherland of West Virginia.
called on Secretary Weeks today to
urge him to promulgate the proclama-

Martial LAW Much Desired.
Martial law. in addition to the pres
ence of the troops. would be much
preferred by the West Virginia au-
thorities Senator Sutherland said, in
order that the military officials might
have complete power to take charge
of the situation.
Earlier in the morning Secretary
Weeks had said that his Information
was that the situation was much i'm
proved in the Mingo area and that
the presence of 800 special deputy
sheriffs and two companies of Ken
lucky national guardsmen called into

working to restore order.

OF martial law to exist were still in

Weeks said. from the governors of

PAR COLLECTIONS
DENIED j. s. BANKS
Supreme Court Rules Federal
Reserve Cannot Insist on
Face Payments.

Federal reserve banks have not the
| right to insist on par collection OF
checks Of member banks. the Su-
preme Court ruled today in effect
The court reversed DEGREES OF
Georgia courts. which had refused
to enjoin the federal reserve bank OF
Atlanta from taking steps to force
collection of checks drawn on num-
Der Of Georgia state non-member
banks, Except through the usual and
ordinary channels
In opposing the Injunction, the Fed
eral Reserve Bank claimed that one
Of the principal purposes OF the fed
eral reserve act was to estaOisn par
collection of checks throughout the
country.
Campaign Not LegaliSed.
The alleged campaign Of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank could not have
controversy had been between pri-
vate business parties, Associate JUS
tice Holmes said, and it should not be
justified in tho present case with the
government moro or less directly in
terested.
"The policy Of the Federal Reserve
Board is that OF the government"
he said. "and Congress clearly had
no intention of legalizing any such
campaign"
Authority OF the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta. Ga, to insist upon
par collection of checks drawn upon
non member banks was at issue in
the suit brought by more than forty
state banks Of Georgia in conjunc-
ton with the American Bank and
Trust Company of Atlanta. The plain
tiffs insisted throughout the case,
however, that behind this issue was
an attempt of the federal reserve in
stitution to compel them to join the
reserve system.
Injunction IL Denied.
An injunction was sought to re-
strain the Atlanta reserve bank from
collecting non-member checks in any
manner except through the usual
and ordinary channels through CORE
spending banks and clearing houses"
It was denied and the case brought
an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Counsel charged that a carefully
planned campaign had been decided
upon by the Atlanta reserve bank
and that the very existence of the
state banks was threatened. Checks
drown against them were to be held
until a large amount had accumu-
lated, 1t was asserted. and then a
sudden demand made for the entire
amount "over the countr," or such
checks in large amounts were to be
sent through the local postmaster for
collection without notice, all for the
one purpose of embarrassing the
"hold outs" from the reserve system.
The Atlanta Reserve Bank denied that
II intended any illegal act.

HIGHEST COURT REJECTS
PLEA AGAINST DRY LAW
Holds Limitation on Ratification of
Amendment Does Not Invali-
date Entire Measure.

The requirement that the prohibi-
ton amendment be ratified within
seven years by three fourths of the
states does not invalidate the entire
measure. the Supreme Court today
ruled.
The decision was given in the ap-
peal Of ]. J. Dillon of San Francisco
from decisions in lower courts refus-
ing his petition for a writ Of habeas
corpus on the ground that the limita-
tion made the amendment invalid.
We find that proposal and ratif1ca-
tion of an amendment are treated as
succeeding acts in a common en-
deavor." the opinion said. and there
is a fair implication that they should
be fairly contemporaneous."
Dillon was arrested while transport
ing a case of wine to the home of its
owner. His counsel asserted that sec
tion 3 of the amendment originally
proposed by Senator Harding placed a
Limitation on the action of the state
legislature, and was therefore uncon-
stitutionaL.
In the conrse Of the, decision the
court ruled formally that the pfofii- :
bition amendment went into effect
January Is, 1920. Dillon's alleged Of
tense was on January II, 1920.
