DECIDES u.
CAN KEEP ALL
SEIZED WHISKY
Supreme Court Ruling Affects
Millions of Gallons
of Liquors.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3o.-The Govern
ment has the right TO hold the thousands
Of barrels Of whisky now in Government
warehouses, the Supreme Court held to-
day.
The court decided for the Government
in four suits brought by persons seeking
to recover liquor they owned and remoV
ing it to their homes for private use.
The decision means that unless there
Is legislation the Government viii never
surrender back to the original owners
the immense stocks Of liquor now in stor-
age over the country. Much OF this hq-
uor was stored with the Government for
'safe keeping and to guard against pos
sible law violation until the Nolstead act
as applying to liquor in the home had
been fully interpreted.
Millions of gallons OF whisky and
wines are involved. Much Of this liquor
was taken to the Government warehouses
before the prohibition act had been In
terpreted fully by owners who feared
they would be guilty Of violation II they
kept it at home.
Others Entrusted liquor TO the Govern
ment storage to guard against home
thefts.
The decision today was by a vote Of
s to 1. Associate Justice McReynolds dis
senting.
Amendment Of the volstesd law by
Congress now remains the only chance
the liquor owners have to ever recover
ing their stocks.
The decision settled four cases, each
involving the rights Of persons owning
Government stored liquors to withdraw
them to their homes for private use.
Two of the suits were brought by
Charles CORNELL and George Chic, against
the revenue officials at st. Louis; the
third by Walter Eastes, against the col
lector for the Sixth District Of Missouri
and the fourth by William Fl. Ryan,
against the collections at Baltimore, Md.
In each case the liquor had been pur-
chased prior to the date when the Vol
stead law became effective.
The opinion, delivered by Associate
Justice McKenna, held that the prohibl-
ton law permits owners to transport
liquor to Government warehouses, but not
from them. The only liquors that can
be legally withdrawn from Government
storages. it was said. are those for use OF
drug plants and in the making Of medi-

BODY
Governor Asks for
DispassiOnate
Methods.
REFERS TO OATH

Governor Warren T.. McCray, in d
dressing the delegation Of citizens who
called on him, defended the public serv-
ice commission. He discussed the futil
ity Of crowd demonstrations and sug-
gested the appointment of a committee
to discuss differences with the public
service commission.
The Governor statement follows:
my fellow citizens:
II am always glad to meet my con
stituents and hear their opinions on pub
lie matters and discuss them frankly and
honestly I'm n fair and impartial way. /
hone I may assume you have appeared
before me today in that attitude and are
also willing to talk over matters Of pub
lie concern in a cool, sane, dispassionate
manner.
HOLDS NECESSITY FOR
BOARD UNDEBATABLE.
"By virtue Of the oath I took upon my
entrance into the position I hold, l am
charged with the responsibility of ad-
miIiistrriug the law fairly and honestly
to all classes Of citizens of this great
State with quail regard for the rights Of

commission as c:eatrd by statute and Is

In these days Of our complex civiliza-
ton the people gather together In large
groups or cities and their daily require

there ne some tribunal which has author
ity 0 regulate charges and supervise
service and to stand not only between the
people and the corporations, but between
the corporations and the people and see
that each receives a perfectly square deal.
Herein lies the necessity for a public
service commission The executive Is
clothed with the responsibility Of select
ing the commissioners who should be men
of fair and discriminatory judgment with
broad. analytical minds, honest, upright,
courageous men Of experience and ability.
In my estimate the present commission
is composed of men of just such type.
In their capacity they act as a court Of
law and justice. Their duties are ju-
dicial and their DEGREES are subject to
appeal to the court of the country, as are
:he judgments of other lower courts. In
an cases they gather all the evidence pos
sible bearing on the questions at issue.
They have their own trained corps of en-
gjneers to Investigate and prepare esti-
mates of values and have unlimited re-
sources at tne.l command to ascertain the
true and actu&I facts in each and every
case II any parties at interest feel that
they have not received fair consideration

period of thirty to sixty days, and If not
found satisfactory a change will be
made at the end of that time.
The board OF works went on record
some time ago as favoring the change
from Indiana avenue to Blake street and
its action was merely n reaffirmatiOn Of q
previous one. The new plan permits q
direct transfer from lines running on
East Washington street at Meridian

Hint at Dismissal If Plea Is
Granted.

WAUKEGAN, Ills, Jan 3O-The State
fought back today at Governor Len
Small's move for a separate trial on
charges Of conspiracy to embezzle State
funds. The prosecution threw it's best
legal talent into the fray in an effort to
convince Judge Claire c. Edwards, Lake
County Circuit Court that the Governor
and Verne Curtis, Grant Park bankers
should stand trial jointly. Thomas r.
Marshall who opened arguments Of prose
cution, announced that James H. Wilker-
son, assistant attorney general, and Fred
Mortimer, States attorney Of Sangamon
County, would address the court
This came as q surprise as 1t was pre-
viously stated by the prosecution that it
would only consume ian hour or two
for arguments
Marshall stated the ruling Of Judge Ed
wards on separate trials is vital to the
States case. He limited the charges would
be dismissed If separate trials are
granted.

PROPOSAL IS
TURNED DOWN
Mayor Against Nam

See Service Body.
CROWDS PROTEST
Thousands of March
ers Descend Upon
StatehOuse.

Following q great demonstration
against the activities Of the Indiana
Public Service Commission today at
the State House, participated in by
between 10000 and 1900 persons,
Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank, who
acted as spokesman for the crowd,
rejected a prosopal Of Governor War
rem T. McCray that a committee be
named to confer with the Public
Service Commission.
The vast crowd almost completely
filed the building and the lawns Of
the capital, together with the sur
rounding streets.
The demonstration started as a protest
against the action Of the commission in
granting the petition of the Indiana
Electric Corporation for permission to
issue securities fer the purpose of pur-
chasing and combining seven Indiana
utility plants, but eliminated in gem
eral protest against the commission and
its activities.
DELAYS ORDER ON
PHONE co.'s PLEA.
The gathering of the demonstrators
caused the public service commission to
withhold an order it had prepared on
the Indiana Bell Telephone Company s
petition for an increase Of rates. The
fact that it was held up convinced many
that it contained authorization for an in
crease.
The crowd was orderly, being handled
by a large number Of policemen detailed
there by Chief Of Police Herman *.
Rikhof. As a special precaution de-
tachment of three officers and ten picked
men Of the Indiana National Guard was
stationed in the Office of Governor War
rem T. McCray. The men appeared in
civilian clothing and few persons knew
their identity.
Mayor shank delivered a speech
from the south steps Of the
capitol, protesting against the commits
sion. At the same time Governor McCray
issued q statement from his office de-
Tending the public service commission
