ATLANTA BANK DEGREE IS REVERSED
q PROHIBITION ACT HELD VALID
State Banks Given
 Protection On Par
 Collection Checks
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel


 WASHINGTON, May 16.-The su- preme court today reversed decrees of Georgia courts which had refused to enjoin the federal reserve bank at Atlanta from collecting checks drawn on non member state banks and the case was remanded to the lower courts As the issue before the su- preme court was merely whether, as a matter of pleading. the plaintiff s bill of complaint stated a cause of final decision and the case will go back to the district court of the northern district of Georgia where the next step is expected to be tried upon it's merits.
 The plaintiffs asserted that to en- force it's policy of par collection of checks the Atlanta reserve bank planned to hold checks of small non- member banks until they reached a material size and then to demand payment fin cash across the counter" and to utilize other methods which would necessitate non- member banks keeping always on a hand a sum out of all proportion to their capital Such methods, they said, would force them to close or to join the federal reserve system. A suit for ar. injunc- ton to restrain the reserve bank from proceeding along these lines was brought but was dismissed when the Georgia court sustained demurrer of the federal reserve bank.
 An appeal was then taken to the supreme court.
 Governor Harding of the federal re- serve board said tonight that the su- preme courts decision will not inter- fere with the check clearing functions of the federal reserve banks and those banks will continue to collect checks drawn on those banks which are list ed on the par lists.
 "The opinion of the supreme court does not deny the legal authority of checks on non-member banks by counter Governor Harding said but holds merely that non-member banks may be entitled to relief if they can prove that the federal reserve bank inadvertently intends to accu- mulate checks and present them in an oppositive manner for the sole purpose of injuring the banks upon which the cheeks are drawn" In opposing the suit, counsel for the federal reserve board denied that it intended any illegal act" and as- serted that par collection of checks would save more than $70 000,00O a year to the public.

.L|M| I TAT|ON IF TIME DOES NOT DRY LAW AMENDMENT
CRepubIican A. p. Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON. May 16-The re- quirement that the prohibition amendment be ratified within seven years by three-fourths of the states does not invalidate the entire mea- sure, the supreme court today ruled
 The decision was given in the ap- peal of J. J. Dillon of San Francisco from decisions in lower courts refus- ing his petition for writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the limita- ton made the amendment invalid.
 Dillon was arrested while trans porting case of wine to the home of it's owner. His counsel asserted that section of the amendment, original ly proposed by Senator Harding. placed limitation on the action of the state legislatures and was there fore unconstitutional.
 We find that proposal and ratifi- cation of an amendment are treated as succeeding acts in common en- deavor." the opinion said ''and there is a fair implication that they should be fairly contemporaneous.'
 In the course of the decision the court ruled formally that the prohi- | bItion amendment went into effect January 16, 1920. Dillon's alleged of fense was on January IT, 1920.
 The fact that the secretary of state did not proclaim the ratification of the prohibition amendment until January 2s. 1919, lis not material, . the court ruled, flor the date of it's consummation, and not that on which It was proclaimed controls The amendment went into effect one year after ratification.
 Gas Law Unconstitutional
 The supreme court today dismissed for want of Jurisdiction the appeal of | k 1f of lower courts holding that the S0- cent gas law was unconstitutional The dismissal was ordered on the ground that the city had no property or other legal interest in the suit.
 Pass on Alien Law Alien residents in the United States have no legal right to demand the admittance of relatives. the supreme court ruled in effect today in up- holding decisions of California courts in the appeal of Tee Won, a China man, who sought to bring his wife and two minor children with him on his return to this country from a visit to China The immigration authorities refused to admit them.
 Reverse Murder Verdict Conviction of R. B. Brown in the Southern district court of Texas on a charge of murder in the killing of James Hermes was set aside today | by the supreme court. Hermes was | killed at the site of the postoffice building in Beeville, Texas, and the l indictment against Brown described the place as properly convey ed to the | United States for public purposes" Brown, who was sentenced to Is years, appealed on the ground that | no offense within the exclusive jur- isdiction of the United States" had F. <.l,, acted in self defense. The lower courts upheld the verdict, which the supreme court said ignored the ques- tion of self defense.
