Washington, Jan. 3.-COnfiScatiOn
of foreign warships found in Ameri-
can waters with Intoxicating liquor
aboard. and the depriving of foreign
ambassadors and othe + diplomatic
and consular representatives in this
country of such beverages, would
logically follow government vic
tory in the steamship companies
contest of the prohibition ruling of
the attorney general, which will be
reached for argument in the Supreme
Court tomorrow. former Attorney
General George w. Wickersham,
counsel for the foreign steamship
companies, contended in reply brief
filed in the Supreme Court today.
Asserting that foreign ships have
right to bring Intoxicating liquors
into American harborS in sealed
stores. Mr.. Wickershar1, in the brief,
insisted that whenever CONGRESS- has
intended to extend the police regu-
lations of the United States over
foreign ships within our ports "it
has expressly declared such intention
in unmistakable terms" and has not
done so in the prohibition legisla-
ton. Decisions were cited to .sus-
tain the assertion. that the Supreme
I Court had held that the patent laws
did not etXend to a foreign mer-
chant vessel lawfully in one of our
ports" and that d similar constvuc-
ton had been placed upon other
laws. 4 ft.

Had it been the intention of Con-
SresS to prohibit foreign vessels

did with reference to smoking opium.
Nowhere is there a line in any law.
he continued. which specifically
prohibits the inclusion of intoxica-
ting liquors in sea stores.
Admitting that Congress could
make prohibition applicable to sea
stores on foreign merchant vessels,
but insisting that it had not done so,
the brief concluded with an argu-
ment to refute the governments
assertion that prohibition is Gained
at the total eradication of the use
of Intoxicating liquors of every kind
and under all circumstances except
for strictly limited medicinal and
sacramento purposes"
ITO contend that the mere pres

happen to be in American ports.
