Declaring that inevitably within
the next five years the prohibition
issue must be met by the people and
definitely settled for all time, Gov
ernor Ralph o. Brewster on Wednes-
day evening, speaking at the banquet
for the delegates to the 2Sth annual
conference of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, which was
held at the Augusta House, said:
1.-THE Constitution of the United
States is perhaps more sacred to the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton than to any other body of men
and women, and that constitution is
today more seriously threatened
than at any time in the history of
the United States. This is evidenced
by the general disregard for the pro-
visions of the Volstead amendment.
which are everywhere apparent"
He went on to point out that there
can be no modification of the law,
that any amendment exempting light
wines and beers from the provisions
of the act would in truth be a nullifi-
cation of the fundamentals of the
amendment.
Governor Brewster declared that
the men and women of Maine must
fight together to preserve the prin-
cipals which Neal Dow inaugurated
and that they must remember that
prohibition at it's worst is far bet
ter than license at it's best
The speaker expressed his belief
that to ask a public official where
he stands on the question today is
to offer "Cratuitius insult" and
that if there is a doubt as to the
stand of any American citizen on
this important question it is time for
them to get out.
He closed by saying that prohibit
ton means the upholding CT the
dignity and integrity of the consti-
tuition of the United States, that the
reverse means disruption of the peo-
pie of the United States.

rudder.
Outside the upper harbor today the
ungainly jury rudder was hoisted on

Federal Court at
Boston to Pass on
"MOral Turpitude"

Boston, Mar. 17.-(AP)-The fed
eral court Monday will decide
whether assault and battery consti-
tutes moral turpitude" and is an
offense punishable by deportation
under the immigration laws.
The question was raised today by
John M&anci, tailor, who was to
have been sent back TO Italy on the
steamship Verdi. Maranci was con-
victed of assault and battery last
March and served IL months at Con-
cord reformatory. On his release he
was arrested by immigration officers
under the law which provides that
aliens convicted of icrimes involving
moral turpitude within five years
after their entry to the United States
may be deported.
Marancfs counsel applied for q
writ of habeas corpus, contending
that assault and battery involves no
inherent quality of vileness" as i'm
piled by moral turpitude." The
court stayed the deportation pend.
ing a hearing on the petition.

As the rout reeled past
