WASHINGTON, Nov. %
(AP) - Automobiles seized
while engaged in the unlaw-
full transportation of intoxi-
eating liquor may be for
feited by the government,
whether they are operated
by their owners or some
one else, the supreme court
ruled today in deciding q
case from Alabama involv-
ing one Ford coupe.
There was a sharp di-
vision in the court over the
question whether the old
internal revenue laws i'm
posing taxes on the manu-
facture and sale of liquor
were in effect.
Justices McReynolds. Sutherland and
Butler joined in vigorous dissent.
contending that the manufacture and
sale of liquor for beverage purposes
had been prohibited by the Sth amend
ment and that the old revenue laws
taxing the manufacture and sale of
beverage liquor had been inferentially
repealed by the prohibition law. The
Importance of the issue arose out of
tn assertion of the right of an inno-s
cent owner to recover an automobile
seized while being used to unlawfully
transport liquor.
Manufacturers and automobile sales
agents We're interested in the case. The
coupe was being sold on the install
ment plan by the Garth Motor COM
pany, which claimed the right to re-
cover it upon showing of ownership
and unauthorized use in liquor trans
portation. The government was sup
ported by a majority of the court in
it's position that the old internal reve-
nue. taxes on liquor remained in force
under prohibition and that it was i'm
material in forfeiture proceedings, un-
der these laws, whether the machine
was being used by its owner or some
on else The opinion was handed down
by Justice Brandeis.
Justice Buffers delivering the dis
senting opinion declared that the 18th
amendment had made the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquor for bev-
erage purposes unlawful, and in effect
had repealed the old internal revenue
taxes upon beverage, liquor. The mi
nority insisted that automobiles seiz-
ed while being used anlawfully in
liquor transportation must be proceed
ed against under the prohibition law
which gives innocent owners an op-
portunity to recover the cars upon
proving that illegal use had been un-
The minority also pointed
out that the courts ruling deprived
owners of all opportunity to recover
their property when the evidence
showed unlawful use
The effect of the decision, the mi
nority agreed enabled the government
to employ the old revenue laws as an
additional pnalty for the violation of
the prohibition law Congress- never
intended such use, they asserted, add
ing that the old revenue laws We're in
tended solely for taxing purposes, add
ing that the old revenue laws were in
tended solely for taxing purposes.
A case from Washington argued with
the Alabama appeal involving virtually
the same questions was not decided to-
day An opinion on it is expected to-
morrow.

The argument which

a well-ordered manner.
The official tabulation Of
returns for the guberna-

was issued a certificate Of
election for the sixth time,

informally served notice
that he Immediately would

Governor Hunts majority. however,
turned out to be Sss votes, instead
Of sss, as the newspapers tabula-

peared, was in Concho precinct in
Apache county, where the county SUI
pervisors failed to make any return
for this precinct The tally sheets
were sealed up with the ballots by
the precinct election officials, and
cannot be read until some court of
competent jurisdiction orders the en-
vcloped opened. The canvass gave
Hunt majority of 40 over Clark in
that county.
SO a matter of some 79,500 votes
will become the center of interest if
the supreme court of the state or
ders recount of the total vote for
governor cast in the November 2 gem

The official tabulation gave Hunt

If Clark starts contest proceedings
it will be the second time in the his

election to the governorship has been
contested. Governor Hunt. who is
believed to have set a record in
Ameican state politics for recollection,
successfully contested the election of
Thomas Campbell, republican, in 1916.

Now we have "killi.' Il Ia Norma

Evening star., 1926-04-26

made it's first Washington appearance
yesterday afternoon at Crandalls s
Metropolitan.
"Kiki" Is a dear old-timer In Wash
ington. 1t first saw the light OF
day, as play. In the National
Theater with Lenore Uric as the
Paris gamin, after having won no
little renown in her long carear on
the American stage. The play was
done here also in stock, and very
adequately at that. Miss Talmage' S
"kiki," thus. is the third for the
capitol, and this, in measure, may
make us more eXacting.
''kiki" is very hoydenish comedy,
but Miss Talmage seems less qualified
for ii than Miss Uric, who first set the
Washington standard in Kikis. Even
Lenita Lane seems to have the edge
on her. The film is interesting, but
scarcely the flaming thing that one
might expect In a medium that lends
itself so adequately to development OF
the particular character
The story. briefly, is that of Paris
gamin who determines to win her
self place in the chorus of revue.
She falls in love with Renal, the
manager, and her pursuit of him
provides innumerable comedy stu
ations.
Miss Talmages talent. broad as 1t
undoubtedly is, scarcely seems fitted
for this particular role. Her inter
pertation is interesting, but not great.
Doris Atkinson Morrow, dramatic
soprano, who provides a vocal pre-
lude to the program, is equipped with
an excellent voice, and her Offering
is we'll worth hearing. Daniel Brces-
kin's orchestra contributes music
quite up to it's excellent standard.

DIZZY HEIGHTS
Reached By Standard Oil
Profits

New York.-The increase of divi-
dends by Standard Oil Company of
New York again calls attention to the
golden stream that silently flows into
the Golfers of various Standard oil
units.
No comment is made on these
profits, which are quietly distributed
in the form Of stock dividends-or ad-
ditional stock-to stockholders.
Through this pyramiding process
share of Standard Oil of New York
that was bought for $275 in 1912 has
market value of $2,250 and yields
$120 a year in dividends.
In 1913 stock dividend of 400 per
cent was issued. In 1922 a 200 per
cent stock dividend was issued and
early this year 25 per cent stock
dividend was paid.
This system keeps down the inter
est rate, but the total amount paid
stockholders reaches dizzy heights.

1.-THE WONDERER' TO
Be NIGHT FEATURE
Ohio State Fair To Present
New Type of Enter
tainment

Columbus, Ohio.-Excelling any
thing ever before attempted as an
outdoor program, THE Wonderer,'
a musical extravaganza, will pro-
vide the night show at Ohio State
Fair, August 80 to September 4.
In magnificence and entertainment
it will be unusual.
The Wonderer" will combine
the beauty and profusion OF color,
the piquancy OF incident, found in
the greatest of indoor spectacles
combined with the massiveness and
serious episode of the great outdoor
productions. 1t represents a new
type for the entertainment OF Fair
visitors and will unquestionably
establish a precedent that will be
followed by other expositions and
leading outdoor spectacles.
Director of Agriculture Chas. V.
Truax devised the subject for each
episode and outlined the develop
ments himself so as to be sure the
night show would be memorable
one for the thousands of Ohioans
who attend, and also make Ohio
leader in this as in other respects.
The story as arranged by Director
Truax calls for an allegOricai pres
entation of the progress OF the hu.
man race.
1t illustrates the Biblical concep.
tioR OF Creation, the coming OF
mankind, his rise to the splendor,
pomp and heraldry of Babylon, the
coming of the Savior, the conquest
OF new worlds, discovery OF Amer
lea, arrival OF the Puritans, birth OF
America, the struggle to preserve
the unity OF the nation, the worlds
upheaval for the perpetuity OF de-.
mocracy and, finally, the wonders
OF tomorrow.
To interpret these events, an I'M
mense cast Of trained people has
been chosen, in addition to a large
singing cast of 500 members.
Scenically, the presentation will
be on an imposing scale. The set
tings will be in the modern spirit
Dramatically the action will be car
ried on by means of professionals
pantomimes, dancing, insignia and
great flares of fireworks. At appro.
pirate points will bs interspersed
some OF the outstanding acts OF the
circus and hippodrome world.
In another respect, THE Won.
derer' will establish q precedent.
This is in the lighting. The equip.
ment to be required will include a
gigantic bank of DINNERS repre-
senting twenty, times that used by
the largest indoor theatres.
While special emphasis is being
placed on "The Wonderer" as the
nightls attraction at State Fair
particular effort is being placed on
the programs for the night Horse
Shows in the Coliseum. Here the
concerts, vaudeville and hippo.
drome acts will support the PAGES
OF the temperametal members Of
the horse family.
