NATIONAL DRY LAW
IS ATTACKED AGAIN
Constitutionality Questioned in
Case Appealed by Attorney
of Buffalo, N. Y.
By the Associated Press.


The conStitutionality of the national
prohibition law was again assailed in
the Supreme Court in a case filed today
by A. Stanley Copeland Of Buffalo
N. Y.
Appearing as his own counsel, Cope
land pointed out that in 1925 he failed
IN his effort to have the highest court
pass on the controversy. The present
case was brought through the courts of
New York State in the hope of obtain
ing a final ruling. The former case
resulted when he invited an audience
in front of the court house in Buffalo
to join him in drinking wine, which he
offered.
Asserting property rights, liberty and
the sovereign power of a citizen, he
brought suit in the present case against
James w. Higgins, police commissioner
at Buffalo, seeking to restrain him from
enforcing the Volstead act.
He would challenge the validity of
the eighteenth amendment on the
ground that it was never completely
ratified. He also insisted the States had
no right to delegate to the Federal
Government powers conveyed in the
amendment He commended the handling
OF the liquor question properly belonged
to the States alone The New York
State courts, however, sustained the ma
tional prohibition law against his
attacks.

New International Standard of

GENEVA, September 26.-The
Disarmament Committee of the
League of Nations Assembly to-
day declined to direct that gen.
eral disarmament conference be
called in 1881.
BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 26.-Threat-
ened with postponement because OF
wide divergence of opinion, the proposal
to revise the League covenant to forbid
war completely was handed over today
by the League of Nations Assembly S
Judicial Committee to a small subcom-
mittee, which will attempt to harmonic
the conflicting views.
1t is the hope of League delegates
that the subcommittee will bring in a
solution of the vexing problem which
will permit the Assembly during the
present session to adjust the covenant
to a new standard of international
dealing set by the Kellogg pact.
Limit of Sanction Puzzles.
The chief difficulty in attempting to
insert the principle of the Kellogg pact
into the covenant lies in determining IL
and how far the system of sanctions
provided for in the covenant shall be
extended to enforce this complete pro-
hibition of private war which the KEEL
logg pact contains.
Friends of the idea of making the re-
vision had their inning today. First,
Eric Cobian of Spain, with many ex-
pressions OF regret, suggested that it
appeared impossible to agree on the
matter this year and that reference to
political committee would be neces-
Sary
Belief that the League was threatened
with taking a backward step in the
cause of peace by failing to enact
amendments forbidding war was ex-
pressed by the Danish delegate, Holger
Andersen. He urged the committee to
continue efforts to reach an agreement.
The Austrian spokesman, Max Hoff-
niger, Joined in the demand, saying that
II the question we're adjourned until
next year for decision the effect on pub
lie opinion would be unfortunate. He
asserted the public would say that the
League did not even know what its
covenant provides and what the kellogg
pact means.
Japan Expresses Doubt.
Philip Baker of Britain said he rec
ognized the existence of several opin-
ions, but asserted that postponement
was not yet justified. He said the pub
lie expected the Assembly to plug up
the war gap in the covenant and "at-
tain the advanced stage of international
opinion embodied In the Kellogg pact"
Japan was the only one to question
the desirability of this revision, Baker
declared, adding that he believed
Nubomi Ito, who voiced that objection,
would find no support for his conten-
ton that the Kellogg pact had wrought
no change in the substance of inter-
national politics.

ton of 1,233.561; Chicago, with a popu-

Mr.. Steuart says, however, that he
has made a careful survey Of Atlanta's
claim, and that he has decided in the
next published census bulletin to record
the population of the municipalities of
Atlanta" at 60.69l. This, he states,
will be footnote.
Mr.. Steuart also says he has received
protests from Congressman, representa-
tive citizens and Chamber Of Com

that If the population OF Atlanta were
to be published as 360,6Sl, this state

would be unfair to other cities Of the
