DRY LAW DECISION
GIVEN APPROVAL
Founder of Anti-SaIoon
League Would Use Buyer of
Liquor as Witness.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
DIES MONIES. Iowa, May 27.-How-
ard Hyde Russell, founder Of the Anti
Saloon League OF America, today issued
the following statement concerning the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court holding that the purchase of
liquor Is not illegal.
While the buyer is often worse thar
the seller, the decision is no surprise to
me nor to attorneys of our league. Soon
after the organization of the Ohio
Anti-Saloon League In 1893, the Liquor
League of that State introduced a bill
in the Ohio Legislature to make minor
boys who were found in the saloons
equally guilty with the saloonkeepers,
who were forbidden under severe pen
atty to permit them to be present.
Wayne B. Wheeler and agreed that
the purpose of the liquor dealers was to
prevent the boys from testifying against
them. We opposed and prevented the
passage of that bill.
Wheeler always held the same view
in similar questions. and when he drew
the first draft of the Volstead law he
followed that principle and exempted
the buyer. Mr.. Volstead and Congress
evidently took the same view of the
question.
There is q difference of view among
the friends Of prohibition. agree with
the attitude suggested in the decision
itself, that it is more important to pre-
serve the complete freedom of the pur-
chaser to testify against the seller than
70 punish him for making the pur-
chase
THE Anti-Saloon League will urge
more strongly than ever the Presidents
appeal to all citizens from this encour-
agement of lawbreaking. Already prog
ress is being made in public scorn of
the rich who by back-door folly invite
front-door robbery and murder"

the Ware cause. He was indicted, and
the Federal District Court for Eastern
Pennsylvania ordered his removal to
Washington. The Circuit Court Of APP
peals, however. reversed the District
