MOTION DENIED
IN ELLIS CASE
Verdict in Liquor Deal Against
Borak and Cutler Not
Set Aside

TRENTON, May 21:-The Su-
preme Court has denied a rule TO
show cause asked by the Borak
Cutler Company, of Perth Amboy,
asking to set aside a verdict against
them and in favor of Herman Ellis,
also of perth Amboy, in the Middle
sex Circuit.
The concern alleged it agreed to
purchase from Ellis, ninety-seven
barrels of liquor at seven dollars a
gallon and paid $4,000 on account.
1t was said the Borak Company as
sumed the responsibility of obtain
ing government permits to buy the
whiskey, but failed to get them.
Ellis did not return the $4,000 and
suit was brought. The jury found for
Ellis and the Borak Company ap-
pealed to the Supreme Cour,.
The Borak Company alleged that
the trial judge should have charged
the jury that if the concern could
not get the permits it should be
awarded the $1,000 paid on account.
The higher court, however, said that
the mere fact that the plaintiff prom
ised to do sonfeS1ing he could not
do but which was not impossible of
performance, did not entitle them to
a verdict.
The Supreme Court therefore af-
firmed the verdict of the lower court
in favor of Ellis.
The law firm of Wight, Wight 6;
Golenbock represented Ellis and
Thomas Brown the plaintitr.

DAY RESIGNS AS HEAD
Of MIXED CLAIMS BODY

WASHINGTON. May 21-William
r., Day, former. associate justice of
the supreme court, today present ed
to President Harding his resigna-
tion as umpire of the mixed claims
commission.
Mr.. Day explained to the Presi-
dent that his desire to resign was
due to recognition of the enormous
amount of work facing the commits
sion with claims amounting to ST.
479,064,000 to be settled, and to his
bellies that younger and stronger
man should be in charge of the
work of adjusting claims on which
the American and German commits
sioners are unable to agree.
With a war bill aggregating ST.
479, 100000 already presented against
Germany by the United States. on
behalf of itself and citizens. TO the
mixed claims commission, con-
siderable number of other claims
await settlement through diplomatic
channels.
The 12,416 claims filed with the
commission, according to the re-
ports of Robert C. Morris, American
agent, made public today, comprise
the vast bulk pending against Ger
many but do not include many flied
after the time limit, April 10 last, as
fixed by the commission. These are
regarded as beyond the commission s
purview because of their tardiness,
and are to be adjusted by the state
department with the German foreign
office.

ssWet PIank' is Likely
I'm Democrat Platform
Strong Sentiment Against
Move to Modify volStead
Act in Some Quarters
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening News)

WASHINGTON, May ell 1t is
entirely possible that the Democratic
National Convention of 1924 may
write plank into the party plat
form favoring modification of the
Volstead Act SO as to permit the
manufacture and sale of light wines
and beer and make the law more
| liberal.
The recent report that former
| President Wilson is preparing a plat
| form for the Democratic convention
of 1924 which will contain PLANK
modifying the Volstead law has Civ
en- rise to considerable speculation
in Washington as to whether such
a plank would carry if offered.
The wet" and dry" organizations
and several newspapers set out at
once to poll the convention delega-
tions to determine the possibility of
the Democratic convention taking
steps to liberalize prohibition.
AS the convention delegates have
not been elected the best possible
poll obtainable is that of the views
of the state chairmen. OF the forty
eight Democratic state chairmen
questioned the most complete poll
shows that eight are for modifica-
ton; % against modification; 13 nom
committal, and the views of 4 unob-
tainable because they are. abroad.
The drys were greatly cheered by
the result of the poll which would
indicate on its face the apparent i'm
possibility of adoption of any plank
for modification of the Volstead Act.
The eight state chairmen listed as
favoring modification are: Connecti-
cut, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri,
New Jersey, Oklahoma, Nevada and
Wisconsin.
The twenty-three states regarded
as opposed to modification, because
the state chairman said he was, are:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho
Kansas, Kentucky Maine, Michigan,
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, New Mexico, North Car
DINA, North Dakota, Oregon, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas. Utah,
Virginia, West Virginia and Wyo-
ming.
The seventeen states whose chair
man was either noncommittal or
whose views were unobtainable are:
Colorado, California, Delaware, Flor
ida, New York, Georgia, Indiana,
Louisiana. Maryland, Massa chusetts,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Dakota. Vermont and Wash
ington.
The "drys" declare that seven Of
the states where the chairman was
noncommittal belong in the dry col
umn. They hold, therefore, that
with thirty states against modifica-
tion and only eight for it that tink-
ering with the Volstead act by the
Democratic convention is out of the
question.
Analysis of the figures, however
discloses that the drys have over
looked one very important fact: That
the vote on adoption of resolutions
in convention is by delegates and the
states do not all have equal voting
strength.
So, taking the twenty-five dry
states-we find that they have 3S2
out of the 1,062 votes in the conven-
! tfOn.

LEGION'S SILENT DRIVE"
YIELDS ALMOST S1OO HERE

The proceeds netted by the Amer
ican Legion in their silent drive at
the Five Corners" on Saturday af-
ternoon and evening toward the
100000 endowment fund for the
permanent decoration of several
great American cemeteries overseas
amounted to $9S.47.
This sum was raised by placing a
box, placarded and guarded by Am
erican Legion men, at the corner of
Smith and State streets, as it was
decided by the Legion to hold this
method of drive" instead of can
Vass.
This money will go as Perth AM
boys quota toward the money need
ed to insure permanent decoration on
the $4,000 graves of American SOL
diers who made the supreme sac
rifice during the World War. The
purpose of the drive which was ma
tion-wide at this time was to create
an endowment fund that will insure
the annual tribute of flowers for
each grave on Memorial Day. If the
drive is successful it will mean that
no more drives of this kind, as far
as grave decorations are concerned,
will be launched by the Legion.
Perth Amboy Post Do wishes to
take this means OF thanking all who
so generously gave to the good cause.
