DRYL |SLEGAL
Opportunity for Real Test Is
"HaiIed With Joy"-Ask
Vets for Remedy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 18.-The Ma
tional Womans Christian Temperance
Union today issued statement express
ing the belief that "the Supreme Court
of the United States will uphold the
eighteenth amendment as having been
legally adopted and ratified"
Commenting on the recent decision
Of Federal Judge William Clark of
Newark, N. j., that the amendment is
invalid, the statement, sent to all State
and local w. G. T. y. organizations,
said that the w. G. T. U. hailed with
Joy the opportunity for the Supreme
Court of the United States to uphold
this great reform once more"
Ready to Begin Again.
IF We are wrong" the statement
added. 1--WE will start all over again to
put the liquor traffic out of business.
In the meantime, we ask the vets
once more what they are going to do If
prohibition is held unconstitutional.
What is their plan by which they prom
ise Utopia through the establishment of
the legalized liquor business?
I'VE have been told at each step we
have taken from pledge signing, edu-
cation, State regulation, local regula-
ton, local option, State prohibition and
national prohibition, that we were
wrong. Our challenge to them is:
To Demand Remedy.
What do you propose to do to justi-
fy your claims of crusading and re-
form%
The statement also said that the w.
@. T. U. knew Judge Clark's ruling was
pending and "our feeling was that Judge
Clark would make just the sort of de-
cision he made"
The judges decision, meanwhile, was
used in Chicago as basis for a plea
in Federal Court to quash an indictment
against an alleged liquor law violator
The case, intended to test the legality of
the eighteenth amendment, was filed by
attorneys representing George Morris.

tucchi, convicted of the murder of his
son in 1920, was released from prison
recently because of the death-bed re-
pentance of his wife.
The child, MartucchiS wife said, was
killed accidentally by fall from a win
dow instead of being thrown out, as she
had testified at her husbands trial
She explained that the reason she had
perjured herself was that she didn't
like her husband.

AUTHORITIES MOVE
TO HASTEN APPEAL
OF DRY LAW RULING

Continued From First Page.)
the case Of Louis e. Thibault Of Wind
sor, VT, who was found guilty of pos
session and sale of two pints of liquor.
The case was argued before the Court
of Appeals by Daniel F. Cohalan,
Selden Bacon and Prof. Leslie j. Tomp-
kins of New York University, who were
associated in presenting the Sprague
case before Judge Clark.
Raids Go On in New Jersey.
In Providence, r. l., demurrer to
indictments against Jack A---l.s and his
son-in-law, Tony Maurice, is before
Judge Ira Lloyd Let's in Federal Court.
The question of validity of the eigh-
tenth amendment was raised when
the dependents were arraigned before
United States Commissioner Fred A.
Otis, who referred the case to the
court.
Federal liquor raids were made in
New Jersey after Col. Amos w. Wood
cock, prohibition director, wired Deputy
Administrator Louis J. Tut at Newark
to carry on despite Judge Clark's de-
cision.

FEW EXPECT JUDGE
!. TO WIN ON DRY LAW
Adverse Ruling Is Believed
Doomed When Supreme
Tribunal Takes 1t Up.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

The practically universal belief of
those in Washington best qualified to
have worthwhile opinion is that the de-
cision of Judge Clark of the New Jersey
District Court iIlvalidating the prolibi-
ton amendment is most unlikely to be
upheld by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
This belief Is expressed as often by
lawyers whose personal convictions are
strongly opposed to prohibition as by
others. Lawyers familiar with the SUBJ
ject-matter say it is true that the pre-
else point raised by Judge Clark has
never been brought before the Supreme
Court and therefore never passed upon
by that body. These authorities add,
however, that points very close to Judge
Clark'S and points almost overlapping
1t have been passed upon and have been
decided in maner adverse to the stand
taken by the New Jersey district judge.
Judge Clark's point may be expressed
roughly in two sentences He says first
that regulation of liquor belongs in the
area of powers which the States did not
transfer to the Federal Government,
but retained for themselves when the
Constitution was first written. He says
second that a power originally retained
by the States for themselves cannot
now be transferred to the Federal Gov
eminent except by one process, which
process must consist of State conven-
tons called for that purpose.
Action Was by States.
The actual ratification by the States
of the Eighteenth amendment was in
fact in the form of actions by the State
Legislatures. The Supreme Court in
past cases arising in connection with
other amendments has tended strong
ly to uphold ratiflcationS made by State
Legislatures. In connection with the
eighteenth amendment and also in con-
nection with the woman suffrage amend
ment, attempts have been made before
the court to deny the legality of rati-
fications made by State Legislatures.
In such cases the court has tended
strongly to uphold the validity of the
Legislatures actions. In an Ohio case
the point was raised that ratification by
the Legislature of the prohibition
was not binding unless and
until the Legislatures action should be
by popular referendum. The
Supreme Court decided, however that
action by the Legislature was sufficient
and was binding.
Clark'S decision is made with complete
respect for his action and for the argu-
ment with which he sustains his ac-
ton. 1t is the extreme flnenesS of
Judge Clark's point that makes it likely
to suffer an adverse fate in the Su-
preme Court.
Several "Ifs" Stated.
A lawyer sympathetic to Judge Clark's
point of view put it thus: IF Judge
Clark had raised his point when the
prohibition amendment was first enact
ed, and if the Supreme Court was
anxious as a matter of pub
lie policy to hold the amendment I'M
constitutional, and If there were sew
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-12-18

stories like the one about the Chief
Justice of Georgia who "once remarked
that courts of last resort live by cor
recting the errors of others and ad-
herring to their own" This story as
well as the general atmosphere of Judge
Clark'S decision seems to hint an in
vitatian to the Supreme Court to re-
verse its whole attitude on prohibition.
Persons who read Judge Clark's
novel opinion are a little puzzled
whether to smile at it or take it with
extreme seriousness There is specula-
ton about the personality of the youth
full judge and as to whether he will go
long distance of whether his ultimate
fame will be confined to the outburst
of discussion arising over this one
opinion.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-12-18

scented now in the Sprague case. While
Judge Clark has not accepted in toto
our reasoning in regard to the effect of
the tenth amendment, it is wholly con-
sistent with his opinion.
Ninth. He further points out that
the function exercised by Congress in
stitutional amendment is an exercise of
an administrative function, which the
courts are competent to review"
