court 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 a writ of haheas

Dillon was arrested while trans
porting a case of wine to the home Of
its owner. His counsel asserted that
section 3 of the amendment, original
ly proposed by Senator Harding,
placed a limitation ON the action of
the state legislatures and was there
fore unconstitutional.
