Supreme Court Rsnders Decision,
Several Justices Strongly in op- :
position to Decree.

The United States Supreme Court
held in an opinion yesterday that
liquor while within the United States
in transit from one country to an
other, can be seized under the pro-
hibition act.
The opinion of the court was de-
livered by Justice Holmes. who re-
ferred to the danger OF Sleakage in
transit" and emphasized the purpose
of the prohibition amendment and the
Volstead act to prevent the use Of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage,
but asserting that this country does
not undertake to regulate the habits
of the people elsewhere" as some
suggested.
the dissenting opinion, in which
justices Day and Clarke Joined. He
asseSs ed in judicial terms that the
United States was trying to run the
universe. and that 1t was breaking
solemn treaty obligations for the pur-
pose Of enforcing prohibition laws.
':At this time, when the nations Of
the earth are assembling in leagues
and conferences to assure one an
other that diplomacy Is not deceit
and that there is d security in the
declaration of treaties; not only
against material aggression, but
against infidelity to engagements
when interest tempts or some pur-
pose antagonizes," he said. he wanted
to enter his protest against a treaty
with Great Britain being nullified in
any Of its provisions to enforce our
laws.
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
declared the decision would be of
help in enforcing the law by stop
ping shipments In bond from which
there has been more or less leakage.
The decision has been awaited by the
prohibition forces, Notwithstanding
an opinion by the attorney General
that such traffic was unlawful, and
Treasury regulations based upon il
will shortly be issued.

that created enthusiasm was that Of
Lillian Leitzel, who well deserves her
title of Queen Of Aerial Gymnasts"
All other acts lapsed before her, as
she was drawn high in the air, hold
ing on to the looped end of a rope.
When she reached a point near the
top of. the high tent, and with nu-
merous spotlights playing upon her.
she launched into a series of rapid
body revolutions using her arm and
shoulder as an axis. Gymnasts and
circus folk have declared this feat to
be impossible for every one except
Miss Leitzel.
Other Exciting Stunts.
Other performances that brought
prolonged applause were those of
Miss Mabel Stark, with a cage of man
eating tigers and black leopard;
Mile. Yvette Renee, in thrilling bare
back acts, and Peter Radke, Miss Kill
dare and Miss Rush with a host of
wild beasts. There are a host of gayly
dressed clowns who present many new
amusing stunts.
Announcement was made today that
seats for remaining performances
afternoons beginning at 2 o'clock and
evenings at 8-can be secured at
Lansburgh's department store and at
the show grounds.

In less than a month Virginia

he will administer the affairs

view is satisfied that he is going
to make successful and popula /
chief executive. Already Mr..
Trinkle has devoted much time
to acquainting himself with con-
ditions in the state and when he
takes hold of the reins of govern
ment he will have pretty fair
idea of what really should be
done. If the incoming Governor
lives up to the promises he made
to the people prior to the election
as we are sure that he will do to
the best Of his ability, the people
will have no cause to regret his

coal was looked upon as valuable only

it, then sulphur and lanpbiack, and
finally gas for purposes OF illumination
That seemed to be the limit of its pos

would be difficult to enumerate all the
articles of commerce extracted from
its by-products.
Coal contains a little Of everything
that goes to make up trees but it
would be a mistake to imagine that
everything that comes out Of coal tar
IS contained within it. While there are
only about a dozen primary products
extracted from coal tar, from these the

thousands OF new substances. This is
synthetic chemistry, or the process Of
building up intricate compounds step
