mond Park. delayed over a technical
ity raised by Commissioner Frederick
A. Fenning, will be taken by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission at an execu-
tive session this afternoon, 1t was in
dicated today at the District Building.
The technicality was settled in an
opinion by Corporation Counsel Fran
els H. Stephens, which held that the
absence of Commissioner from a pub
lie hearing Of the commission would
not preclude him from voting, and

sioner Fenning had contended that the
mere reading of the stenoRraphic
transcript of the testimony at a pub
lie hearing did not make Commissioners
Rudolph eligible to vote. Mr.. Rudolph
was in Florida when the hearing was
held. and upon his return studied the
transcript.

was called upon to submit n legal
opinion on the technically, completed

LIQUOR LAW TEST
SUIT LOST BY j. S.
Alcohol Permits Ordered Re-
stored to Two Firms by
District Court.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, February e.
Efforts of Andrew J. Volstead, father
Of the prohibition enforcement act and
his legal associates to obtain a broed
decision tightening the powers Of the
Federal prohibition department In test
suits before the Federal District Court
last Friday met defeat yesterday in
an opinion by Judge o. B. Dickinson.
The suits were brought by the
Swanson Chemical Co. and the Beach
Chemical Co., whose alcohol permits
were cancelled December 81, under
the order Of Gen. Lincoln G. Andrews,
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury,
and when the concerns filed applica-
uons for renewals for 1926, the depart
ment refused them.
The Government sought to obtain a
decision on the right of the commits
sioner to cancel permits at the end
Of each year, and require the holders
to apply for renewals.
Judge Dickinson not only refused
to pass upon the broad legal principles
which Government counsel hoped
would give the commissioner of pro-
hibition far-reaching powers to re-
strict the Issuance of alcohol permits,
but he ordered the permits Of the two
companies restored.
broad question was not involved in
the case and declared that the real
question was whether the refusal Of
the commissioner to renew the two
permits was equivalent to q revoca-
ton Of the privileges. Declaring that
this was the effect Of the commission
er's action. the court pointed out that
In both permits were clauses provid-
ing that they were to be renewed per-
petually unless surrendered by the
holders or revoked by the prohibition
department for cause" One of the
permits was issued in 1923 and the
other in 1924.
Before they could be revoked, the
court said. the companies were en-
titled to a hearing on any charges
made against them. AS neither had
had hearing Judge Dickinson held,
the action of the commissioner was
Illegal and the companies were en-
titled to the restoration of their al
cohol privileges.
