several other favored ones In her
back parlor and listened breath
lessly to tales that became In that
circle unpublished classics-tales
that were delightfully."- suited to the
intelligence and entertainment of
her hearers.
She has found a much larger,
but l dare to say i.o more appre-
~clative, audience in the years that
have interviewed. The ether day a
group of people sat around a ia
BILE. and each person there spoke
with enthusiasm of a different one

Life'-though. to quote her own
words. she wrote only the kind
OF stories everybody knows. like

NEW YORK, September 26.-Emlen
Hare Miller, ar@lawyer, announced ne
had filed g petition with. State At
torney General Sherman alleging
that New York states ratification or
the eighteenth amendment was IN
Violation of the state constitution
and asking for public hearing OF
this charge, with view to a test OF
the validity of the legislatures ac-
tfon. The application was made ne
said, at the suggestion of Gov Smith,
with whom he has been In. .corre-
spon6enoe in the matter.
Mr.. Miller said he had called the
governors attention to the tact tnat
r number of years prior to the rati-
fcation of the eighteenth amendment
by the legislature the state court OF
appeals decided. in the celebrated
opinion in the case of Wynehamer Z
VS. People, that the legislature was
from passing any act which confis-
Gated property in alcoholic liquors
heretofore owned by citizens of the
state and legally acquired.
Effect of Precedent.
This determination, standing un-
modified amounted to a prohibition
of the action taken by the Legislature
upon the eighteenth amendment, ac-
cording to Mr. Miller.
In one of his letters to Gov Smith
Miller said the proposed test would
be of direct interest to all the states,
since the private property guarantee
contained In the New York constitu-
tton is in effect duplicated in every
other. ,.-.-.
Referred to Sherman.
Gov. Smith, according to Mr.. Miller,
had partially arranged to grant him
hearing. Upon receipt. however, of

you should take up with the attorney

him at Albany. he will make an en-
Eagement to meet you in New York,
when you can go over the entire sub
ject with him.
