SEEKS TO SHOW COURT IS WRONG
(Conunued from First Page)

amendment has been declared con- s,itutlonal, Tuckcrman, in his pc tition, contended was contrary to the intention of the men who framed the constitution.
 Speaker Reed ruled that the phrase "two-thirds of both houses" meant two-thirds Of a regular quorum; that is. one half the mem h"rs and one of each house, and not twothirds of all the members of each house. The supreme court accepted this ruling in considering the first case brought before it un- der the eighteenth amendment and so upheld the constitutionality of the amendment, which was passed on by two-thirds of quorum but not by two-thirds Of all the mem bers.
 Quotes From Letter
 Tn his petition Tuckerman quoted from a letter written in 1894 by Gouveneur Morris to Criah Tracy. then senator. which he found printed in a Life Of Gouverneur Norris by Jared Sparks which was published in 1892.
 The idea" the Morris letter reads, that two-thrds of the whole number Of senators and Of the whole number Of representative are required by the constitution to pro- pose an amendment. is certainly correct.'
 The letter continues to assert that there are only six cases In which 9 majority cannot act and one of these is the proposing Of constitu- tlonal amendments.
 Tn the case Of amendments to the constitution" the letter con- eludes after listing the six cases. "it "as presumed that America might enjoy a tolerable share Of felicity under the existing compact and that If a case should arise 10 point out The necessity of amendment, two- thirds of the whole number of each legislative body would concur in the recommendaticn.'
 Letters were also included in the | lANN'-i iiltA4l ittIlIOll l'liIl!.S to prove that Morris actually was the draftsman Of the constitution, a point not heretofore definitely agreed upon by all. In letter from Morris himself to Timothy Pickering in 1894 Morris is quoted as writing Of the constitution: that instrument was written by the fin gers which write this letter."
 Another letter was introduced from James Madison, co-membor with Morris of the committee of five 10 draft the constitution, 10 Jared Sparks, in which 1t was said: "Tha finish given to the style and arrangement of the constitution fairly belongs 10 the pen of Mir. Morris. NXNx A better choice could not have been made. as the perform ance of tho task proved"
 Tuckerman introduced the letters on the ground that they showed the 1 supreme court to have been wrong in accepting the Reed ruling and in i known of them at the time it's find 1 ing would have been different.
 He petitioned tho state legislature | because a private citizen cannot ini- { 'iate proceedings in the supreme | court relative 10 a. review or modi- 1 'ication of the courts decisions. He , that the action the state might take. if any. Is not clear and for that reason asked appoint nont of the bi- partisan commission o make a study of the situation and ! -eport back to the legislature for he year 1928.

Dairy Men In Milk
Scandal May Escape
Indictment by Jury

Evidence of milk graft in New
York City will be considered by the
New York County Grand Jury, sworn
in today.
District Attorney Pecora has ex-
pressed doubts" about the possi-
bility of securing convictions on the
evidence regarding milk graft pre-
sented by Former Justice Kelby.
Kelby's report, altho it contains
some evidence against the little fry
in the huge milk graft which is
boosting the price of milk and cream
in New York City, brought no evil
dence against the higher-ups. That
an attempt is being made to cover
up wholesale graft has been re-
peatedly charged by persons in close
touch with the situation.
Impure milk" has been used as
an excuse by city officials, it is
charged, to bar milk coming from
dairy men outside of circle of big
New York dairy men favored by the
Tammany administration.
