'INTOXICANT
POSSESSION
IS CRIMINAL
So Rules State Supreme
Court in UphoIding Sec.
ton Of Wright Act.
CITE CONSTITUTI0NALITY
Denies Plea Liquor Disposal
Was Not Provided For.

Constitutionality Of the posses
sion" clause OF the Wright bone
dry law, the most contested section
OF the present dry statute, was up
held today by the state Supreme
Court.
In denying a new trial for Mat
thew Guetling Of Evansville, tho
court declared "the possession OF in
toxicating liquor for a personal use
may be forbidden by a state with
out infringing on the constitutional
rights Of citizens"
Guetling was convicted In Van

ownership of the liquor. The Wright
,"bone-dry" law became effective by
proclamation Of Governor Jackson
on April 25, 1925.
Uncertainty" Was Alleged
Constitutionality Of the posses
sion" section. which prohibits owner
ship of intoxicating liquor in any
quantity and makes ownership
prima facie evidence of intent TO
sell, was assailed on grounds OF its
uncertainty" in that it bars posses
sion without providing legal means
of disposing Of any liquor on hand
when the act became effective.
The court held Guetling had
plenty Of time to dispose Of his
liquor.
Guetling was sentenced TO a sixty
day term in the Indiana state Farm
and fined 5000 and costs. Supreme
Judge willard b. Gemmill wrote the
opinion.
other Appeals Pending
Several other appeals pending In
Supreme Court are aimed at validity
Of other sections Of the Wright law.
In 1928 the Supreme Court held
unconstitutional the possession =
clause Of the prohibition law then
effective, because the title OF the act
made no mention OF possession.
From that time until the Wright
law became effective the possession
Of small quantities Of intoxicating
liquor was not, in itself, punishable.

DEMOCRATS
TALK OVER
PLATFORM
Advisory Committee Named
by Chairman Begins Diff
cult Task.
WATs0N's FOE SUBJECT
Adjourned Meeting of State
Body Wednesday.

The difficult task of formulating
the Democratic State platform was
begun in earnest this afternoon
by fifteen Democrats selected by
State Chairman r. Earl Peters of
Ft. Wayne, to act in an advisory ca
pacity to the State conventions reso-
lutions committee.
Though the platform was the busi-
ness at hand for "early bird dele
gates and politicians, gathering for
the convention Thursday, specula-
ton on selection of the party's foe
for Senator James E. Watson, G..
o. P. candidate, dominated informal
conversations.
The State committee will meet in
adjourned session Wednesday after
noon to select a secretary and treas
urer to succeed Miss Gertrude Fan
ming McHugh and Bowman Elder,
present secretary and treasurer, re-
spectively.
Expect State Tax Demand
The platform advisory committee,
like the Republican convention res
olutions committee last week, was
faced with an utimatum by Farm
Bureau Federation leaders for a
plank indorsing the State income tax
proposal to be voted on in the fall
elections.
Opponents of the plank argue a
declaration for more taxes would
ALLEVIATE thousands of voters.
The committee faced another per-
picking problem on it's tariff plank.
The party's short-term senatorial
nominee, Evans Woollen, Indian
apolis banker, already has declared
against any drastic revision of eX-
listing tariff schedules, as has John
Friedrich of Kolono. one of the can
didates for the long-term nomination.
May Ask Low Schedules
1t is a foregone conclusion some
Of the old-time Democrats, never
the-less, will demand an out-and-out
Z denunciation of Republican tariffs
and inclusion of a declaration for
lower schedules.
