Rum Sale Upon
Doctors Orders
Neither 18th Amendment or
Nolstead Law Grants Right
to Sell Within State,
Court Rules.

Washington. May 26.-Municlpali
ties are free TO prohibit the sale OF
intoxicating liquors upon physicians
prescriptions, the supreme court ruled
today.
In an opinion by Justice Mercy.
nolds II stated that neither the 18th
amendment nor the Volstead act
grants the right TO sell intoxicating
liquor within a state.
The opinion Was handed down in A
case brought from California by Mer-
gist, TO test an ordinance OF that city
under which druggists are prohibited
from furnishing more than half a
pint of intoxicating liquor upon a
physicians prescription.
Hixson contended that the Los An.
seles ordinance was invalid because
under the 18th amendment. as con
strued by the Volstead law. druggists
were authorized 10 deliver one pint
OF intoxicating liquor upon a physi.
clans prescription. Any state law or
municipal ordinance which would re-
strict this federal right would. Hixson
asserted. deprive him OF his constitu-
tional rights under the 14th amend.
ment, which guaranteed all citizens
equal protection of the law. and pro
teeted them against being deprived
OF any OF their rights without dGe
process OF law.
Referring 10 the suggestion that
congress. by the Volstead act.
granted some right or privilege which
is protected by the 14th amendment. E"
and that such a right may not be
abridged by state or municipality, -
Justice McReynolds stated that nix.
son had failed 10 raise any substan.
tial federal question.
Certainly nothing in that Vol
steadl act lends color the court de-
clared. TO the suggestion that it en-
dows pharmacists with the right to

Hughesin | lth Hour Plea
BY PHILLIP A. ORME.
Universal Service staff Correspondent.

Washington, May 26.-President
Coolidge today signed the johnson
selective immigration bill, containing
a clause prohibiting Japanese from
entering the United States after July
/ with the purpose of settling here.
The president accompanied the sig.
nature with statement character
ling the Japanese exclusion pro
vision as unnecessary and deplor.
able and declaring he would have
vetoed it without hesitation if IT had
stood alone"
Leaders among the hosts of adher-
ents of the new law in congress did
not attempt to conceal their resent
rnent over the tenor of the PRESIDENT s
declaration. He took occasion TO
praise the so-called "gentlemen's
agreement" by which the Japanese
government has been supposed to CO.
operate with the United States gov
ernment In restraining the dumping
of laborers upon these shores. Pro
ponents of the Johnson bill claim the
agreement has not worked, and reiter-
ated that the main object in the in
sertion of the exclusion clause was to
substitute an alright arrangement for
one proved to be full of leaks.
Hughes Fight Fails.
Secretary of State Hughes, by whose
counsel the president waged his
strenuous but unavailing fight against
the exclusion clause, made a last min
ute attempt to sway Coolidge TO a veto
of the bill. He left the White House
hurriedly after a conference which
preceded announcement OF the sign
ing by only short space OF time. He
vas closeted with the president late
Saturday afternoon. also. At this
time Coolidge was still debating what
course of action to take.
Representative Johnson, republican,
Of Washington, chairman of the com
laittee on immigration and framer of
the bilL called at the White House
Immediately after It was announced
that the president had signed the
measure. When he came out he held
not only a signed copy of the latest
law. but the pen with which calvin
Coolidge had been written at the
bottom He jubiliantly declared:
Work of Years"
This enactment represents the la.
bor of congress for years. 1t is no.
tice to the world that immigration is
p democratic question. to be settled
by the American people themselves .
Johnson further declared that when
the new quotas become effective five
weeks hence, immigrants should not
be permitted to set sail for the United
States unless the machinery provided
IN the bill is completely and fully
operating. 1t provides, in the case
of people not excluded, that American
consuls shall cause examinations to
be made OF prospective settlers and
issue certificates only in accordance
with the findings as to mental and
physical health literacy. etc.
Inclusion of the clause barring Jap
anese settlers brought about the most
sensational conflict between congress
and the White House since President
Coolidge took office. II involved the
Japanese foreign office. the Japanese
ambassador to the United States,
Masanao Hanihsri, the State depart.
ment and Cyrus r. Woods, American
