\ SUPREME COURT VERDICT
 ON PROHIBITION

When the Supreme Court of the United States the other day gave it's decision freeing two automobile drivers who had been arrested by state police near the Canadian bor- der in New York state, q blow was struck at the concurrent power of the states 10 enforce the prohibition law where no state enforcement law exists.
 It was only q few days previous to the Supreme Court decision that Governor Smith announced he would instruct all state officials to cooperate with the federal govern- ment in enforcing prohibition. In view of the resembling of the Null len-Gage enforcement act in New York several years ago. such co-op- eration is now made more difficult. The decision is a step toward nulli- fication so far as New York state is concerned, as well as other states lacking enforcement acts.
 Two men were driving an auto mobile in western New York state when several state troopers spied them and suspected the car contain- ed liquor. The men were followed, and when they stopped at a gasoline staticn the troopers searched the car and found their suspicious were correct Arrests followed, they were found guilty and ordered punished Their first appeal affirmed the de- cislon, but the appeal to the highest court of the land went in their favor and the prisoners were ordered re- leased.
 The Supreme Courts finding was that the search and seizure was it. legal because there was no warrant based on reasonable evidence of guilt, thus violating the fourth, fifth and sixth amendments. The court also found the troopers were without power 10 enforce the Vol stead act because New York has no enforcement act Of it's own and is not empowered to act for the fed eral government.
 What this am mounts to Is that boot- tESgers coming from Canada through New York state are practically i'm mune from interference by state troopers. Their cars can be searched only when warrants have been ob- tained; but as autom obiles cover con- siderable ground 1t is self-evidcnt that they would be far away by the time the troopers took the time 10 obtain q warrant after suspecting the presence of intoxicating liquor in a car.
 Four other states have no enforce ment acts-Maryland, New Mexico,

A surface providing ample space for four horses can be found, he said, and the horsemen are ready to guaran- tee such success that the experiment will be repeated every year.
