DECISION IS
FORPROLAW
Supreme Court Up
holds Limit AS To
Prescriptions

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Nov. 90
Pl-Volstead Act restrictions upon
the quantity of whiskey physicians
may prescribe to patients each ten
days were sustained today by the
Supreme Court.
The decision was by a sharply di-
vided court, four members, Justices
Switzerland, McReynolds, Stone and
Butler dissenting. The dissenting
opinion was that the state had ex-
elusive jurisdiction to regulate the
use of Intoxicating liquor for other
than beverage purposes and that
congress had not prohibited the use
of liquor for medicinal purposes
and that it did not have authority
to do So
The decision, which was rendered
in case brought by DR.. Samuel w.
Lambert Of New York city, marked
another victory for the government
which has been sustained by the
court almost without exception in
its program for dry law enforce
ment.
The court previously has ruled
that malt liquors possessed no medic
inal value and upheld the Wills
Campbell act prohibiting beer pre-
scriptions.
Justice Sutherland asserted that
the majority had deprived the states
of the exclusive power to control
medicinal practices and had trans
ferred it to congress.
Justice Brandies delivered the
opinion Of the court.

DOHENY STORY
Is ADMITTED
In FALL Case
Justices Decision Is
Sweeping Victory in
Prosecutions Case,
Is Claim

WASHINGTON. ID. C., Nov. 20
P1-Edward L. Doheny's own story
Of his 100000 transaction with Al
bert B. Fall. az told before the SEN
ate oil committee was admitted i'm
evidence today in the Doheny- Fall
oil conspiracy trial.
Justice HoehlinR's decision placing
the senate committee record before
the jury was 0 sweeping victory for
the prosecution but IN expected to
become one basis Of an appeal By
the defense in case the former cab
met official and the oil man are con-
victed.
The justice acted after long arRu-
ment by attorneys. who presented
their intentions while the jury was
excluded from the court room.
The decision opened the way for
the prosecution 70 continue it, pre-
sentation OF evidence on which IL
hopes to prove that the 100000 was
part OF a conspiracy which resulted
in award of the Elk Hills oil lease
to Doheny while Fall was secretary
Of the interior.
All Opposition 0verruled
The courts opinion overruled ev-
cry objection raised BY the defense
and permitted the statement made 10
the committee BY Fall 70 20 before
the jury along with that of Doheny.
In this statement. submitted u. the
committee in writing, Fall said tha
100000 with which he purchased Ad-
ditional ranch property in New Mex
leo came from Edward B. Mclean,
publisher Of the Washington Post
Prosecution attorneys indicated in
their opening statement that they e
garded IL as important to their case
to show that the former interior Sec
retary sought TO conceal the source
Of the money.
The DOheny testimony was given
before the committee in January Il.
1924, when the oil magnate appeared
a second time at his own request and
said that to aid Fall. an old time
friend. he had advanced the then
cabinet member 100000 as a private
loan. The cash was sent TO Washing
ton in custody Of Edward II. Doheny.
Jr, and Fall gave in return a note
which was produced before the SEN
ate committee with the signature
torn off.
Not Under Section $50
Justice Hoehling held that neither
the Doheny testimony. nor the state
ment Of Fall constituted evidence
within the meaning Of section $50 Of
the revised statutes. which prohibits
use Of congressional testimony in
subsequent criminal trials involving
the person testifying. The court
noted that the oil man had appear
ed before the committee voluntarily
after he had previously testified in
response TO a formal summons and
that the Fall statement was sub
mitted on Falls own initiative.
The lawyers arguments on the
point concluded Friday. and Justice
Hoehling's decision was read from
the bench as soon MS court met this
morning. The jury. excluded from
khe courtroom during the argument.
then, was recalled and government
counsel began their case with the
reading Of Falls committee state
mnt
That was followed BY the reading
Of Doheny's testimony. In both
cases. Owen J. Roberts Of govern
ment counsel read the testimony Co
the jury. Frank j. Hogan, attorney
for Doheny. laid the basis for n pos
sible appeal BY entering formal ex-
ceptions.
