AUTO SEIZURES
UP TO HIGH
COURT
Question Right Of u. S. to
Held Machines Used to
Transport Liquor.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Dec. 10
JP-The right of the government TO
corfiscste automobiles used in the
Illegal transportation of intoxicating
liquor, when title TO the machines
remains in companies selling them
or the installment plan, was orally
ergued in the Supreme Court today
in two cases.
In one Of these. from Alabama. the
lower court held that the government
could not condemn and seize the
machine, and in the other, from
Washington, the Circuit Court Of Ap-
peals asked the Supreme Court for
instructions on the material questions
Of law raised.
Most Of the attention of the court
was directed 10 the practice of the
Department of Justice in seeking con-
fiscation Of the machine under the
Internal Revenue law on the ground
that il was being used in the trans
portation of liquor upon which tax
has not been paid while the driver
Of the machine was charged with
violation Of the prohibition law.
The chief justice and various of
his associates, indicated by their ques'
tons that they were in disagreement
with Assistant Attorney General
Willebrandt in her contention that
the policy she has been pursuing in
this respect was authorized by law
and apparently took the view that
when the person is prosecuted for
Illegal transportation under the pro-
hibition law, the machine and the
Illicit LIQUOR must also be disposed
Of In the one proceeding.

suance of operators licenses was vest
ed in the secretary of State. The ef-
feet of this new act is to unite in
him not only the issuance, but also
the suspension or revocation of reg
iStrations and licenses.
The maintenance of the highway
police is paid for as now provided
by law out of motor vehicle fees and
fines imposed for violation of motor
vehicle laws, except that the new law
limits the appropriation to $12o.000
per annum. In the year 1924 1t cost
about $4,000 to maintain the State

penses were incurred which seem un-
necessary for the current year.
