Challenge Ruling
Oreign Booze Ships
In Waters of u. S.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The decision
of Federal Judge Hand at New York
holding that foreign vessels cannot
bring intoxicating liquors into the
territorial waters of the United
States, was attacked as contrary to
immcmorial usage and unwarranted
by any present law in a brief for
the foreign lines filed in the Supreme
court today by Former Attorney
General George w. Wickersham.
Summing up his reasons for ask
ing that the lower court be reversed,
Mr.. Wickersham declared that al
though the prohibition amendment
and the Volstead enforcement act
apply to the United States and all
territory subject to it's jurisdiction
they do not operate to constitute
regulations of the international af-
fairs of foreign merchant vessels
coming within American waters.
Immcmorial usage, the brief as
vessels to carry beverages as part
of their stores or supplies for the use
of passenger and crew, and that
something further than any law now
on the statute books would be re-
quired to prohibit continuance of that
custom. -
Mere possession Of liquor on
board ship, lawful in its inception,
cannot become unlawful, Mr.. Wicker
sham argued, the moment the ship
crosses the three mile limit into
American territorial waters. He de-
clared the presence OF these liquors
on board while the ship is in
American waters and on her progress
from the three mile limit to her
dock and return. was not Transport
tation within the meaning of the
prohibition amendment or enforce
ment act. -.
The brief covered more than hun
dred printed pages, and presented
a review of the laws of foreign coun-
tries under which foreign steam
ships are required to carry intoxica-
ting liquors and wines.

ka senator's agricultural financing
measure today failed in the Senate
and the session ended with the Nor
ris motion more firmly than ever
imbedded as the key log in a legis-
lative jam.
Senator Jones, Republican, Wash
lngtop, in charge of the shipping bill,
supported by administration leaders.
proposed as he did yesterday, that a
time be set for a vote through un-
animous consent, and while Senator
Norris indicated his assent to the
proposal, objection was raised by
senators numbered among the forces
supporting the Norris motion. SEN
ator Jones thereupon abandoned
further efforts t. reach a vote dur
ing the day and the remainder of the
session was given over to a discus
Senator Smith. Democrat, South
Carolina. and to an attack on the
federal reserve board by Senator
Helm, Democrat, Alabama.
When a vote might be obtained
and the shipping bill subjected to its
first test was a question tonight
which leaders could not definitely
answer. Senator Norris left the Sen
ate chamber at the end of the days
session with the declaration that a
vote might come tomorrow, but
other senator's supporting the move
to lay aside the ship bill said they
did not desire to hasten the vote
because delay would work to their
advantage in the fight against the
shipping legislation.
Meanwhile the banking and cur
rency committee continued to work
on rural credits legislation and its
chairman, Senator Mclean. Repub-
lican, Connecticut, urged the Senate
not to take up the Norris financing
bill, but to await the credits legisla-
ton, which it hopes to report in Il
week. Several Democratic senator's.
however, announced they would
vote to take up the Norris bill as it
would afford an opportunity for dis
cussion for farmer relief legislation

committee.
