JUDGE SOPER HITS STATE LIQ-
UOR LAW LAXITY
Rebukes Lawyer Who Said Maryland
Did Not Believe In Volstead Act


Did Not Believe In Volstead Act
So long as Maryland officials de-
cline to enforce State liquor laws,
the Federal Government must stand
between the welfare of this COM
munity and the activities of the un-
derworld which fatten upon the.
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor" Judge Morris A. Soper, said
Thursday, in the United States Dis
trict Court, Baltimore. .
Judge Soper made the assertion in
rebuking James A. Mccarthy, attor
ney, for the latter's remark to jury
in dry law case Wednesday that
"the people of Maryland do not be-
lieve in Volstead act. :"
Because of this, and for other al
legged attractions of court regulations
in the conduct of the trial, Mr.. Nc
Carthy was called to. the bar of the
court to explain his actions.
The attorney apologized, and the
apology was accepted.
Judge Soper called attention to
| the lawyers action in "needlessly"
taking up the time of the court in in
sisting on jury trial after the &C
cused had admitted his guilty, not
only to you but to the District At
| torney and to myself"
The case was trivial one, Judge
Soper said, and might have been dis
posed of with nominal fine. AS a
trial was insisted on, however, the
| Judge continued, he felt 1t mot un-
fair to make the fine $3.50, sothat he
might at least pay some OF the heavy
expense of this court, which he made
necessary by enjoying the luxury OF
an unnecessary trial"
Mr.. McCarthy's declaration that
the people of Maryland did not be-
| lieve in the Volstead act the judge
characterized as heroic attitude OF
defying the Constitution and the law
and the Court ITSELF"
"Now, that is just the thing that
counsel cannot do in this court"
Judge Soper said. IF there is any
body who has assumed any obliga-
ton of responsibility here, it goes
without saying he has no right to ig-
more a law of the United States.
That applies to counsel for the de-
tense, counsel for the Government or
to the court itself.
! "And there is one other important
consideration in addition to that oh
vious one. That is the fact, perfectv
ly well known, that in this communi-
ty the State Officials not only decline
TO permit the police force to assist
the prosecution of this one United
States law, although helping in all
others, but they also decline to on
force the law of the State of Marv-
land which is still in effect.
Now, as a citizen, you may agree
with that attitude or you may dis
agree with it. But it cannot be ig.
nored, nor can the implications be ig
nored, and one of them is that it
places an unusually heavy burden of
responsibility upon this court and
every body connected with 1t in an
official relation.
| For so long as the attitude of the
State officials continues, there is only
one thing that stands between the
welfare of this community and the
activities of that part of the under
world which fatten upon the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating lid
uors-and that is the enforcement %
the National Prohibition Law IN this
court when the cases come before

LETTER r M
By IRTDNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON, Jan 2s. Mrs.
Florence P. Kahn, the congress
woman from California, isn't anxi-
Gus for war, but she is hot for pre-
paredness
thought, when she was elected to
the seat long held by her husband,
that Mrs. Kahn, being woman,
might often rise in the house to
sing that precious old ditty, Il
didn't raise my boy to be soldier"
Great must have been their disap-
roirtment Anybody who knows
Mrs. Kahn and has observed hel
active interest in military affairs
wouldn't be the least surprised to
see this congress woman, with her
gray hair done up in the old-fash-
tened way, try to sneak into service
in the next war as drummer boy
or a carrier pigeon.
Mrs. Kahn wasn't the sort OF
woman to tell the voters, after her
husbands death, that she would
carry ON his policies and then re.

OF her male colleagues told her the
ether day after she had delivered
strong speech against cut in tho
size of the regular army.
"Its a matter of both belief and
sentiment" says Mrs Kahn, admit
ting that it would be rather tough
on woman in her place to recon
cile the two if they were to be
found opposed.
"[ always took a vital interest in
our army through Mr.. Kahn, and
attended meetings and debates where
it was discussed"
She recalls proudly that Kahn was
chairman of the military affairs
committee when the strong defense
act of 1920 was passed, and was
committees minority leader in 1916.
during the democratic administra
tion.
Kahn played a prominent part in,
rushing the draft law through con
gress during the war.
In her last speech, she paid trt
butte to that defense act of 1920
and pleaded that the army be kept
nearer its authorized strength.
