is KNOCKED OUT
Section of VoIstead Law Is De-
cIared Unconstitutional.
Decision of U. S. Supreme Court
Affects Kansas Cases.

Section s5 of the Volstead act has
been declared unconstitutional by the
United States supreme court. accord
ing to a decision which reached the
office of AL F. Williams, United States
district attorney for Kansas, today.
The section provided that manufac-
turers and retailers of Illicit liquor be
required to pay double the amount of
the tax provided by law in addition to
$500 penalty. The section gave in
ternal revenue collectors power to
seize and sell the property of those
who refused to pay the. penalty No
hearing or even process of arrest was
required. Any one found with liquor
in. his possession was liable to lose his
property.
VIII Affect Kansas.
The decision. according to Frank
Mcfarland. assistant district attorney
for Kansas will affect several cases
in this state. and especially those of
James UT and Lawrence Flotovich, of
Wichita. When H. H Motter. internal
revenue collector, demanded the tax
from them and threatened to seize
their property if 1t was not paid, they
petitioned the federal court for an in
junction to prevent him from carrying
out his threat. Under this decision of
the supreme court, Mcfarland said
the two Wichita men will be entitled
to an injunction
The decision of the supreme court
was made in the case of Ernest Lipke,
who appealed from the. district court
for the Eastern district of PennsyI-
vania. The decision declares that
altho referred to in Section 35 as a
tax that it is applied and must
be regarded as penalty for a crime
and that therefore the accused is en-
deprived of his property it must be

Newspaper Reporter May Be APP
pointed by Mayor Coryvine
Late this afternoon. when asked If
he had selected a new chief of police,
Mayor Corwine refused to state that
he had not made his selection. Il
haven't selected a man to announce
yet" he stated.
Persistent rumors that Joe Nickel.
a newspaper reporter, commander of
Capitol post No. 1. American Legion,
and state official of the Legion, is to
be appointed Topeka's next chief of
police, will not down today, especially
since it became known that Nickel
has resigned his place with the Topeka
Capital.
Mayor Herbert ]. Corwine this
morning laughed when the question
was broached. That's a bum tip you
have" he declared.
Other city hall officials were not
SO sure -..
1t is known that Nickel has been
tentatively offered the position, and
has once declined it. He is said to
have been willing to accept if certain
conditions. which he dictated, were
brought about.
Nickel saw much service overseas
during the World war. He was with
the British army as a transport driver
during the retreat from Mons in 1914,
and served with the French forces as
an American volunteer ambulance
driver. He returned to the United
States in time to go back to Europe
with the A. E. F.

have been demanded of the next chief
of police by the city authorities have
been "a young. straight. husky ex-

an order and execute it without fool
