SUIT AGAINST DRY
AGENT IN II. S. COURT
Judge AIdrich Grants Motion to Trans
fer It From State of
New Hampshire.

CONCORD. \. H. May 25.-Judgc
Edgar Aldrich in United States court late
yesterday afternoon, granted motion of
James 4. Higgins. federal prohibition
agent, allowing suit for damages brought
against him by Frank and Cora Morse of
Penacook to be transferred from the state
courts to the federal court.
The motion was opposed by Robert w
Upton and John NJ Stark, counsel for the
plaintiffs. on the ground that prohibit
tion agent, receiving his appointment un-
der the Volstead act does not come under
the law which allows federal official sued
while doing his duty to have his case tried
in the United States court.
The suit grew out of a midnight raid
made by Higgins at the Morse home. 1t
is claimed by the plaintiffs that no liquor
was found on the premises. The case was
filed in the AIerrimack county superior
court and was scheduled to be tried this
month. 1t is said to be the first case
of the kind to be brought in the east.

Frosts Damage Fruit In Southern New

BOSTON. MAY %. - V \. Saunders,
federal agricultural statistician, an
nounced last evening that damage to
fruit and tender garden truck by recent
frOsts was considerable in New England.
especially throughout the heavier pro
ducing sections of central and western
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con
necticut,
In Massachusetts, he said. 'condi-
tions are very spotty and reports con-
fiicting. Apples. peaches and aSpara-
gus were hurt considerably in the east
ern part of the state and some sections
in the central part and Connecticut val
ley Strawberries were injured some
what. Other fruit should show a fair
to good crop.
In Rhode Island the earlier cold, re-
cent frost and bad weather seriously
damaged apples. peaches, Strawberries

STATE VOLSTEAD ACT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Attorney General of Massachusetts Rules
Law Can't BE Made Con-
tingent Upon Congress.

BOSTON. May 2J.-The probability
that the legislature viii make any laws
this year conforming the statutes to the
18th amendment and the Folstead act
became very remote yesterday, when At
torney General Allen informed the sem
ate that. in his opinion, the bill now
pending before the upper branch, which
has already passed the house, is uncon-
stitutional
The adverse opinion upholds the con-
tention of Senator Silas y. Reed of
Taunton. dissentcr from the state Vel
stead" bill that the legislature has no
right to make any laws contingent upon
some future action by the federal con-
gress. Attorney General Allen agrees
that this is an unconstitutional delega-
ton of power.
As a result of the decision the vets
on Beacon hill were jubilaut last night
and predicted that the bill would be re-
jeCted in the upper branch without fur
ther debate. The "drys." however, were
not willing to give up the fight.
The vital section of the bill is that
which declares that intoxicating liquor
shall have the definition which may he
set by congress. To get around this the
''drvs" would have to offer a substitute
which would enact half of one per
cent legislation for Massachusetts. This
action would ne in the face of last No
vembers majority for the 2.7l beer bill,
and would of course, be subject to the
same referendum process.

DEMOCRATS TAKE
SLAP AT HARVEY
Introduce Resolution Asking Admins
tration If 1t Approves of
London Speech.

WASHINGTON, May 25-Democrats
in the house made a move yesterday to
put the administration on record as
either approving or disappearing the
speech made by George b. Harvey, Amer
lean ambassador to the Court of St.
James, at the dinner of the Pilgrims in
London May 10.
Representative Flood of Virginia, the
affairs committee, brought the matter
forward by Introducing q resolution re
uesting that Secretary Hughes inform the
house whether Col. Harvey was yoicing
the sentiments of the administration and
whether messages either condemning or
praising his utterances had been sent to
the ambassador by the state department.
Objection has been voiced by Demo
Gratis in the senate and house to portions
of Ambassador Harvey's speech, in which
he said this country was not actuated
by altruistic motives in entering the war,
but was impelled solely by the necessity
for self-preservation. Democrats con-
slider this and also the ambassador
statement that we were not too proud
to fight. whatever that may mean. We
were not afraid to fight, as being slaps
at former President Wilson.
There has been comment. even on the
Republican sides of the two chambers,
on the declaration by Colonel Harvey
scoffing at the thought that the United
States went TO war; and his added
statement: We only came along toward
the end and helped you and your allies
shorten the war.

(Vt) Coming.
Arrangements are being completed for
the biggest, and it is hoped. the most in
tereSting and successful, track meet ever
held under the auspices of the Brattle-
boro high school, to be held ON the Val
ley fair grounds this week Saturday at
p. m.
Seventy-fve young athletes are entered
by the six schools that will participate
and among them are many who class
high in the various events in which they
Will compete. Keene, N H., sends the
greatest number of entries, Is, while
HolyOke, Mass, follows closely with 10.
Rutland, Springfield tVt.) and Green
field, Mass, also send a good list of en-
tries. 1t is noticeable that the schools
entered are all from good-sized places
where the coaches have many boys from
which to choose their teams.
The team from Springfield, while rep
resenting a smaller place than that of
any of the other entries, proved its quail
ity last Saturday by easily winning the
track championship of the upper Com
necticut Valley league at a meet in which
five teams competed
Keene high is one of Brattleboro highs
oldest rivals and always makes a strong
showing in every line of school athletics
Greenfield, while not as experienced as
some of the other schools in track ath-
letics, has the material for a good team
and has been especially coached for this
meet and viii surely make a good show
ing at 'E. BIS" own town.
The Holyoke high team. although never
having competed in a Vermont track
meet, representing as it does a city with
a population of 10000 which has always
stood high in all branches of athletics,
will undoubtedly make strong bid for
| first honors.
As for Rutland-well, Rutland is Rut-
land and is always to be reckoned with
until the last minute in any contest in
which it takes part.
Our own boys are all in good condi-
| tien and viii do their best to uphold the
track reputation OF b. III. S.

yer and bronze medals which will be
awarded to the winners are on exhibition

+ ing yesterday that an inter-elass track
meet to decide the entries from the Bur
/ lington high school in the Z. V. NJ. in
terscholashc meet June 3 and would
be run off this afternoon said: 1.-The local
T boys have been training in track since
March under the coaching of Doc
Movies, who is also trainer of the univer
\ sity team. One reason which is driving
the B. H. $. burlington high SCHOOL,
runners on is the fact that BrattleborO
which has won the u. V. NJ cup for the
past two years will retain the trophy if it
wins this year. Therefore every possible
effort is being made by the Edmunds boys
to enter a well-developed and weII-bal-
anced team to compete with the state
champions.

FEARS CONSUMPTION TAX
WILL FOLLOW SALES TAX.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Belief
that advocates of a general sales tax
plan ultimately to make the c0nsump-
tion tax pay the way of the govern
ment was expressed today before the
sentence finance committee by Profess
sOr FairchiId. teacher of political
economy at Yale university. He de-
clared the issue raised was whether
the sales tax could supplant the in
come tax as the chief burden bearer.
Chairman Penr0se declared that
so far as he knew the income tax had
come to stay. Senator LaFOIlette,
Republican, Wisconsin, took issue
with him, saying that he felt that
I'VE have reached the beginning of the
end of the income tax when a sales
tax becomes a part of the revenue
system"

WASHINGTON, IIay 25.-The head

a source of irritation and causes embar-

it. j. J. Husband, commissioner general

Before the present law went into effect
in 1917, the tax applied only to foreign
ers who had lived in Canada less than
one year, Mr. Husband said. adding that
the present law, which provides an eight
dollar tax on each individual, including
native Canadians, was unnecessary. dis
turbed friendly relations and should be
repealed.
