Too ON the Hip

For a Long Term

Virginia state prohibition laws is
shown by the penalty imposed upon

Judge r. NJ Showalter, OF the Mar
ion county criminal court. here.
Metz was sentenced TO serve five
years in the state penitentiary. at
MOundsville. for having two bottles
OF whiskey on his hip. That seems
rather severe. but the state law pro-
vides that a second conviction for
violation OF the prohibition law Is a
felony punishable with penitentiary
confinement. and the prosecution
showed that Metz had once before
served a jail term for violating the
prohibition laws. In addition. the
Judge said. in passing sentence.
Metz had been arrested numerous

Understanding of Policy"
So far as the questions Of the far
east are concerned. IL is indicated
clearly that the administration be-
lieved an international understand
ing" of policy would result rather
than a formal treaty
The officials holding these views
expressed entire readiness TO lay be-
which the senate or house should
feel they had a right 20 be consulted,
but declared that so far as the pres
ent outlook was concerned they
could see no occasion 10 raise a con-
stituuOnal question.
Matters Of naval appropriation, it
was said. naturally would have 10 be
dealt with by congress in order 10

that no conflict would arise on that
point 1t was emphasized that no

Authority Used Before.
The authority under which II was

without action by congress has been
exercised heretofore in general dis

procedure involves condemnation by
