DRY LAW APPEALS
 MAKE NO HEADWAY
Supreme Court Shows Inclina.
 ti0n to Be Lenient

Washington. April UP)-The appeals ot men sentenced to jail or prison for federal offenses in con- nection with the liquor traffic have hard sleddins in the United States supreme court. More than 50 men have failed in such efforts in the present term, which started last October. and only one has succeeded.
 The cause of this apparent 50-to- 1 chance is that nearly all angles of the prohibition laws and enforce ment practices have been tested and upheld. And under the law. the highest court accepts the rulings of fact of lower courts, usually con- siderinG only the law of tho cases appealed
 In the case of Ole Berkness, Fair banks, Alaska, the one man who won his case the Nolstead act marked down another victory. The court held that the severe search bone dry" law passed by congress were superseded by the mildcr pro visions of the later Nolstcad act. In this case, however, the circuit court of appeals previously held that Berkness was ualawfully convicted, under evidence obtained under q ''bone-dry" law warrant.
 Drys Win Paddock Case
 The most important prohibition ruling of this term was in conncc- ton with the new federal enforce ment practice of padlocking night clubs and restaurants which serve ''setups"-ginger ale, cracked ice and glasses-to patrons who bring their own liquor for highballs. The court rejected the appeals of two Chicago restaurants based on a charge of illeEality of this enforce ment. and the government proceed cd to extend its activities in Wash inEton and New York.
 Tho court last term uphold the new coast guard practice of seizures of rum ships outside the three-mile limit and several appeals on simi- lar grounds were rejected this term. Captain Robert Pamphlet of the famous smuggling ship Pescawha and i've men convicted with him for Nolstead and tariff act conspiracy lost the most interesting of these ap- peals.
 The Pescawha was captured out side of the one-hour steaming dis tance from the Oregon coast. speci- fled in the British h-American rum
