COURT UpHOLDS
DAUCHERTY BAN
ON SHIP LIQUOR
Dismisses Suits Brought by Ocean
Lines

New York, Oct %. - (Special.) -
Judge Learned Hand in the federal dis
trict court to-day dismissed the com
plants brought by foreign and American
shipping lines who contested the ruling
OF Attorney General Daugherty, pro
hibiting the bringing of alcoholic liquor,
even under seal, into United States ports.
The opinion of the court fully up
holds the ruling OF the attorney gen
eral and prohibits the carrying of liquors
either for the use of the passengers or as
rations for the crew.
In respect to the crews rations, how.
ever, Judge Hand grants a stay in the
order of Mr.. Daugherty pending an ap,
peal to the higher courts on this point.
Crews wet" for the Present
Foreign lines, in the meantime, will
be allowed to enter port with liquor
for their crews if the supply is sufi-
cient only for the needs of the men on
the return voyage. The ship owners
must give bond of $4,000 to insure com.
pliance with this regulation.
Judge Hands decision vacates the
temporary stays granted by him and the
order of Attorney General Dangherty
becomes effective at once. The steam
ship lines will appeal the decision to a
higher court.
ut is at best delicate matter,
says Judge Hand in his decision, "for
a Judge to tie the hands of other pub
lie officers in the execution of their
duties as they understand them, and
the books are full of admonitions
against doing so."-Chicago Tribune.

the nomination of Mr.. Hull as
challenge, which must be met
openly. In this campaign stand
unequivocally for the Eighteenth

modification of tho Noistead Act
to permit the manufacture and

issues, particularly the last, shall
appeal to the manhood and
womanhood of the entire District.
