TO0LhN SOUNDS
LIQUOR WARMING
Assistant Prosecutor Com
ments on Decision of Court
of Errors and Appeals

Assist"nt Prosecutor John l., Too
IAN in ext lainng the decision of the
court of errors ana appeals this art
cru oon said that the fact that the
Van Ness act has been held uncon-
stitutional does NOT mean that sa-
loon Keepers and those who have
been selli.S liquor can now COM
menCe. an again deal in intoXicants
without fear of being arrested. The
cond. tion al present leaves the pun
ishncnt possible in liquor violation
cases evel greater than under the
Van Ness act, Mr. Toolan pointed
out.
The present status with regard to
liquor violations, the assistant prose-
cutor declares, merely means that
persons found violating the prohihi-
ton law will not be tried by the
same authorities under the Van Ness
act but under the old crimes act
which imposes a higher penalty than
was possible to impose under the
state enforcement law.
Judge Peter +. DAILY gave SINH
lar view with regards to the existing
conditions when questioned this al
tcrnoon. Those who were up under
Old charges under the Van Ness act
can be rearraigned at any time, 1t Is
said.
With reference to the refundlnS
by the county of fines imposed by the
court and paid under the Van Ness
act, Mr.. Toolan said it was his opln-
ion that those found guilty of viola
ting the state act who were hned
and paid without appealing have no
redress from the county but those
1 Nd q
will most likely be reimbursed by the
county.
1t ia estimated that between
scventy-tive and one hundred cases
of Van Ness law violations came be-
fore Judge DAILY for disposition. Now
that the law has been declared tn-
constitutional those charged with
lfouor violations will have the old
trial by jury but the scnces which
can be imposed are heavier than un-
der the Van Ness act.

Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1922-02-01

The housing problem in many Amer
lean cites brings with it church
problem.
The high percentage Of rented
homes-SS per cent OF all residences
in New York. for example. and 81 per
cent in the borough OF Manhattan
means many migrant families. And
Investigation OF the lnterchurch
World Movement show that too often
the family moving out of the territory
OF its church fails to transfer it's mem
bership to another congregation in
the new neghborhood.
The church letter like the family
cat, is left behind. If the church had
no more lives than cat say inter
church workers. it would have been
dead long ago, for just as the family
loses" its cat. SO the church Loses
families.
The family church is becoming a
rarity in the cities One minister in
pastorate Of Is years noted 5000
changes in his congregation.
Through it's city survey, designed 10
nroyide a program for closer coOpera,
ton between Protestant churches. the
lnterchurch Movement is seeking,
among other things. TO find means
whereby migrant families shall not be
lost to their respective denominations.
The present generation Of the city,
the survey reveals, is a generation Of
wanderers because of the srcwin&
number of rented homes and the rising
rents. AS result, the family church
is becoming an urban rarity. The fam
