to Be Illegal.
HOLMES WRITES RULING
WITHOUT DISSENSION
Corks, Barrels and Bottles May
Subject Owners to Prosecution
Under "Loose" Interpretation.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Persons who sell barrels, bottles,
ccrks and labels are subject to prose-
cution under the prohibition law, the
Supreme Court held today, when the
articles are offered in such a way as
purposely to attract purchasers who In.
tend to manufacture intoxicating liquor
Illegally.
The opinion, delivered by Justice
Holmes, decided a case from Pitts
burgh brought by Ike Donovitz. No
dissent was announced.
Meeting the contention that the con-
tainers taken In the case were not
actually used in the manufacture" Of
liquor, the court said the word manu-
facture," used in the prohibition law.
was not to be taken in the strictest and
most exact sense.
I'VE are of opinion that the word
may be used in looser way" said the
opinion, land that If the empty con.
ta1ners and other objects seized were
offered for sale in such a mode as
purposely to attract purchasers who
wanted them for the unlawful manufac-
ture. as we interpret the word, they
were designed for that manufacture and
could be seized"
Justice Holmes quoted from the law
that 1t Is unlawful to have or DOS
sess any liquor or property designed for
the manufacture of liquor intended for
use in violating this chapter or which
has been so used and no property rights
shall exist in any such liquor, or prop
erty."
A search warrant could be issued and
such liquor, the court said, and the con-
tainers seized may be subject to such
disposition as the court might decide.

TURKEY PROPOSES
FINANCIAL AID PLAN
League Told Non Member Nations
Should Be Invited to Help
Victims Of Aggression.
BY the Associated Press.


GENEVA, May 5.-Munir Bey, Turk
ish delegate, today told the League of
Nations committee on arbitration and
security that his country believed
states which are not members of the
League should be invited to become
parties to the proposed convention for
giving financial assistance to a country
which has been victim of aggression.
Non-member states, the Turkish rep
resentative added, also should partici-
pate in the discussions of the League
Council when the question of awarding
financial aid is being decided.
Eduard Cobian Of Spain told the COM
mittee that the Assembly had instructed
1t to draw up this convention and had
not left to their discretion the matter
Of whether the convention ought to be
drafted. Mariana Cornejo of Peru said
his country attached very little i'm

result the three dial exchanges-Na-

The deluge of calls gave the dial

DRY LAW TRANSFER
BILL is APPROVED
Senate Group Favors Justice De.
partment Handling Of
Prohibition.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House bill transferring prohibi.
ton enforcement from the Treasury TO
the Justice Department was approved
with amendments today by the Senate
judiciary committee and it will receive
early Senate consideration.
This Is the first of the Hoover law
enforcement measures to get to the
Senate. Republican leaders believe 1t
is likely to be the only one to become
law at this session.
The recent letter Of President Hoover
urging Congress to enact his program
into law at this session was before the
judiciary committee at today's session.
Upon reconsideration the committee
decided to provide for the transfer Of
all civil service employees engaged In
enforcement work now in the Treasury
to the Justice Department.
Previously it had voted to permit At
torney General Mitchell to pick an en-.
tirely new staff. The Justice Depart
ment said the transfer Of the employees
was necessary.
Some committee members reserved
the right to oppose in the Senate the
proposal for dual control by the Treas
ury and Justice Departments over In
dustrial alcohol permits. This pro-
vision In the House bill was left un-
changed by the Senate committee.

Mrs. Gandhi Speaks for Him.
Gandhi's arrest, made early today,
was followed by silence upon the part
of his followers so intense as to give no
indication of what their attitude would
be. The Mahatma himself was mute.
Whirled away to Poona, where for the
third time in his eventful career prison
doors closed behind him, he made nc
statement, voiced no threat. Mrs
Gandhi alone spoke for him.
"I fervently hope India will show her
mettle," she said, "and give ntting

TARIFF FIGHT END
SEEN z WEEKS OFF
Remaining Six Points of Dis
agreement With House to Be
Up Soon in Senate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Within another fortnight, congress
sional leaders hope to reach the end OF
their protracted controversy over the
Smoot-H -Hawley tariff bill and send that
much disputed measure to the White
House.
Six points Of disagreement remain
70 be settled and the Senate is to take
them up this week after voting upon
the Parker Supreme Court nomination.
They are the rates on lumber and silver,
the Blease amendment to make cement
imported for public construction free
of duty, the export debenture, the
flexible clause and the tariff commits
sion reorganization provision.
Amendments Are Rejected.
The amendments of the Senate affect
ing these points were rejected late last
week by the House, which at the same
time accepted amendments fixing the
Cuban sugar duty at 2 cents a pound
and placing shingles upon the free list.
In voting against the export debenture
plan and the Senate's flexible provi-
sions amendment, the House followed
the wishes of President Hoover.
Republican leaders are confident that
the debenture is now definitely out of
the bill and expect that the dispute
over the flexible clauses will be worked
out in conference by the compromise
method. The Senate's amendment to
the flexible provisions, would revoke the
Presidents present authority to raise
or lower duties within a limit of so
per cent by executive action.
Two Vigorous Attacks.
Two vigorous attacks upon the tariff
bill were forthcoming over the week end.
one in the form of "a letter signed by
more than 1000 economists representing
other from Representative Collier, DEM
ocrat, Mississippi, member of the con-
ference committee.
The economists, who included Frank
w. Taussig of Harvard, Irving Fisher
of Yale, Emory r. johnson of Pennsyl-
vania and Wesley G. Mitchell of Co
lumbia, expressed the opinion that Gin
creased restrictive duties would be q
mistake" and would increase the cost
Of living and injure the great majority
Of our citizens"
The letter contended that the bill
would not alleviate unemployment,
would result in losses for most of the
farmers and harm American export
trade.
Collier said that while tariff revision
was undertaken principally to assist the
farmer, all rate schedules had been In
creased and that the substantial raises
are on manufacturers of steel, cotton,
wool, max, hemp, jute and rayon.

Forests and farms Of Eastern and
Southern States were spotted today with
the black patches of widespread fire as
thousands Of men continued to combat
the roaring menace In scores Of scat
tered districts.
Damage already done was estimated
In the millions, and 1t was feared that
other millions would be lost before the
flames were quenched. The fires were
attributed variously to incendiarism, to
the careless tossing away Of lighted
cigarette stubs by motorists and to rub
bish fires incident to Spring cleanup
activities. Strong winds in many places
famed the fires and hampered the
work of the firefighters.
Pier z at Hampton Roads Naval Base
was destroyed by fire, with an estimated
damage of $500,00o. Two tugs and two
oil barges sustained considerable dam
age.

Manhattan with fire, were almost en-
tirely under control.

Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut volunteers and conscrtpts
fought the flames in two-score towns
and there was no indication that the

In Rhode Island, rain was seen as
the only hope of quenching the Rock
Vile fire in the southwestern part OK
the State, which seemed to be under
control early this morning, but broke
nut again later with renewed fury.
New Fires Springing Up.
Delaware had its fires under control
after more than 20 square miles had
been burned over. In Central Pennsyl-
varia there was progress, but new fires
were constantly springing up. In Viz

many houses and other buildings were
destroyed.
Although most Of the week end fires
were In forest and farm land, there
were half dozen in more populated
regions. The southeastern section Of
Nashua, N. H., was destroyed and many
persons were made homeless. A group
of two and three story buildings in the
business district Of Augusta, Ga, were
severely damaged. On Staten Island,
N. Y, hundreds of bungalows were
damaged before equipment, ferried
across from Manhattan, extinguished

was done to the principal business block
