Suffragists Rebel i'm Japan
Women i'm Arms When Peers
Forbid Political Activity

TOXIC, April 1 (Delayed) Many
japanese women are in rebellion over
the refusal of the House of GERS to
adopt the bill granting to the women
o. Nippon the right to attend political
meetings and to form political asso-
Citations. Their leaders are especially
exercised over the speech of Baron
Yoshiro Fujimura, who strongly op-
posed the measure.
The baron is reported as having said
that he was against the measure on
the ground that women are not fit to
participate in politics from the bio
logical point of view, and also from
the point of view of social welfare. He
added: "By allowing women to par
tlcipate in political discussions the
Japanese famiyl syste mwill be de-
stroyed."
The Society of New Women, which
has been advocating the bill for three
years, held an Indignation meeting and
appointed committee to visit Baron
Fujimura and demand an explanation
Of his remrks. Also it was voted to
continue the agitation for emancipa-
ton.

One Year at Hard Labor
For Slovak Profiteers

MANCHESTER, England, April 25
(By MaiD.-A remarkable anti-profit-
eering act came into force in Czecho-
Slovakia, according to The Manchester
Guardian. This measure supplements
stringent legal provisions for the pun
ishment of profiteering and the illicit
export of necessities abroad, which
were already in operation. All persons
above the age of eighteen convicted Of
infringing the law will be uncondi
tionally drafted into the penal labor
contingents for minimum period of
one month or maximum period of
one year.
Persons sentenced to undergo this
penalty will (says the Czecho-slovakia
Bureau) be employed upon manual
labor of general utility, and this labor
will be performed in public. 1t will
consist of such tasks as cleaning and
repairing streets, public buildings and
high roads, keeping waterways in good
condition and building railways
The detailed methods for applying
these measures have already been
drawn up by the Minister for Justice,
and they will be published as soon as
possible. The sentence cannot be re-
mitted or modified in any way, and can
be postponed only in a case whore
mental arrangement or severe bodily
illness might result in the death of
the person convicted if the penalty
were inflicted Immediately.

Wine Seized in Village

Argument on several suits brought
against Police Commissioner Richard
E. Enright, including one test case to
determine the rights of policemen to
enter mans home and seize liquors,
were put over until Thursday by Jus
tice Edward G.. Whitaker in the Su-
preme Court yesterday,
The cases will be heard by Justice
John NJ, Ticrney in his chambers, it
having been decided by Justice Whit
aker that the writs, which were sued
out III the ex-parte term of the court,
should be heard there. Several other
liquor cases on the calendar in the
equity term of the Supreme Court for
to-day will be referred to the same JUS
tice to be heard at the same time and
place.
After the dismissal of 90 per cent Of
all liquor law violation cases by the
April and May grand juries in Kings
County, and after seven trial juries
had acquitted accused men, two con-
victions were finally obtained in Brook
lyn yesterday.
Harry Hamlet, of 5,723 Seventh Ave
nue., and Salvatore Costello, 528 East
Fourteenth Street, Manhattan, were
found guilty of selling liquor in viola
tion Of the Mullan- Gage law after the
jury had deliberated thirty minutes.

disguised as laborer, went into cafe
at 5,723 Seventh Avenue, alleged to
have been conducted by the defendants.
He was sold drink of whiskey, he
charged, for so cents. He placed both
under arrest. The men will be SEN

u. s. Supreme Court, in
Denying Plea for Writ
Of Habeas Corpus, Again
Sustains Volstead Law
No Limitation ON Period
Date of Legislation's Con-
summation, Not PROCLAIM
alton, Controls, Is Ruling

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The re-
quiremont that the prohibition amend
mcnt be ratified within seven years by
three fourths of the states does not in
validate the entire measure, the Su-
preme Court to-day ruled
The decision was given in the ap-
peal of J. J. Dillon, of San Francisco,
from decisions in lower courts refusing
his petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus, on the ground that the limitation
made the amendment invalid.
Dillon was arrested while transport
ing a case of wine to the home of its
owner. His counsel asserted that Sec
tion of the amendment, originally
proposed by Senator Harding, placed 8
limitation on the action of the state
legislatures and was therefore uncon-
stitutional.
eve find that proposal and ratifica-
tion of an amendment are treated as
succeeding acts in common endeav-
or" the opinion said, "and there is a
fair implication that they should be
fully contemporaneous,"
In the course of the decision che
court ruled formally that the prohibi-
tion amendment went into effect Jan
uary 16, 1920. Dillon's alleged offense
was January II, 1920.
Article V of the Constitution makes
no limitation of the ratification period,
the court said, and this section covers
the amending power of Congress.
Congress had in mind the fact that
two proposed amendments had lain
dormant for almost a century" after
they were submitted, the court said,
and a majority of both houses "evi-
IDENTIFY thought some limitation was
necessary"
The fact that the Secretary of State
did not proclaim the ratification OF
the prohibition amendment until Jan
uary 20, 1919, "is not material" the
court ruled, "for the date of it's con-
summation, and not that on which it
was proclaimed, controls" The amend
mont went into effect one year after
ratification.

WASHINGTON, May 16.--The ex-

nounced by spokesmen for proprietary
medicine associations. who declared
they had begun indicating alcohol used
IN all their preparations long before
the eighteenth amendment swept out
the bars.
There were frequent clashes. No
body said q word in favor of beer. The
patent medicine men told Mr.. Volstead
that so far Is they were concerned he
could go as far as he liked with that
once popular drink, but they did not
agree with his announcement that he
