The question Of whether the
purchaser Of liquor is equally
guilty with the seller under the
Volstead law will be put sQuarely
UP to the u. s. Supreme Court
for decision. Attorney General
Mitchell announced today.
The Department Of Justice,
Mitchell Indicated, wants q show
down on this moot question, and
is taking the only method Of pro-
curing It by putting 1t fatty to
the Supreme Court for decision.
The recent case in Boston
Omitted States vs.. Farrar), IN
which q Federal district Judge
held that the buyer of liquor Was
not guilty Of a felony because of
the purchase, will be used as the
test case.
Another case CU. S. VS.. Norris)
is now before the high court on
appeal. This involves, however,
the element Of conspiracy, and is
not square to the issue as is the

Naval Farley Awaits
Brands Statement
Of Frances Position

LONDON, March IL QN.S0
Foreign Minister Aristide BRANDS
expected statement Of the French
position at the five-power naval
conference in view of recent devel-
opments was eagerly awaited in
conference circles today.
With the American delegation
now flatfootedly out in the open
In its determination not to commit
the United States to participation
in any consultative pact which
would provide the security France
demands In exchange for q reduc,
ton Of her naval demands, it.
nevertheless, is hardly expected
that BRAND will recede from his
demands for such a pact.
However, It Is understood that
BRAND and his colleagues have
tentatively decided to make q
small cut in their tonnage de.
rnands in view Of the American
attitude. They have decided not
to include special ships in their
total tonnage demands. This
would automatically reduce their
tonnage demands from 724,47s
tons to about 695, 900 tons by 1896
Much further than that the
French are not believed to be will
ing to go despite the fact that dur
ing yesterdays negotiations it was
reported the British demanded
that the French come down tC
$50, 900 tons.
Brands stand since resumption
Of negotiations indicates that ht
is likely to again contend that
the French position that an ar
rangement for French security
must first be made before France
can agree to reducing her de
r1ands in view Of her far-flune
colonial possessions and home
geographical position.
Brands statement, it is ex
pected, will be discussed in detail
BY the heads Of all five delega
tions when they hold their next
meeting tomorrow afternoon.
British army estimates for 1886
revealed q reduction OF E605, ,OOC
(about $4,000, ,0OO from army ex
penditureS in 1899 when they
were made public today by Sec
retary Of State for War Tom
Shaw.
In 1929, E41,1O5. 900 (abou'
$205, ,000, ,000) were spent for the

the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, because of his alleged Wall

tons, which likewise were directed

BRITISH ADOPT
HINDU PLAN TO
HALT SALT RAID
Passive Attitude Taken
When Woman Leads
Proposed Assault
By FRANCIS Low
United Press Staff Correspondent

BOMBAY, India, May Is. U.H-
Police blocked the raid of Mrs. Sar-
a.joini Nadiu and her volunteers
near the Dharasana salt depot to-
day in one of the quietest and most
weird clashes of the independence
campaign inaugurated by the Ma
hatma Gandhi.
Authorities adopted the methods
of the Satyagraha, or passive re-
sisters, to halt the raid. They
formed a Gordon around the volun-
teers headed by Mrs. Naidu and
merely prevented them from mov-
ing.
When the police halted them,
Mrs. Naidu announced that they
would not 90 back to their camp.
eve will not mOve," the police
superintendent replied.
The volunteers brought Mrs. Mai
du chair and they all sat down
to await a move by police, who
quietly stood their ground.
The long awaited raid, led by
Mrs. Naidu, started at $3.50 a. M,
when she left the Satyagraha
camp at the head of the first group
of volunteers, reiterating her in
tcntion of seeking "death or vic
tory"
On two previous occasions the
raid was stopped by the arrests of
Gandli and his first successor, Alb
bas Tyabji.
The thinly clad volunteers trudg-
cd along the road to the govern
mcnt salt works in ragged forma-
ton, equipped with pliers to cut
the barbed wire barricade police
had erected. The police force,
strengthened by reinforcemcnts
from Jalalapur, awaited them.
Halt Procession
The volunteer procession was met
on the route by the superintendent
of police accompanied by so excise
policemen and dozen district po-
licemen armed with sticks. The
procession was halted about half Il
mile from the camp.
Forming a Gordon of his men, the
police superintendent managed to
block the path of the Satyagrahas
and also cut off from spectators in
the rear.
"You cannot proceed" the super
intendent informed Mrs. Naidu.
1--WE will not 90 hack" the poet
ess and leader replied. eve will
stay here"
"We are going to stay here, too,
and offer Satyagraha ourselves as
long as you stay" the superintend-
ent said, ordering his men to stand
their ground.
They parleycd for a short time
and then Mrs. Naidu ordered chair
brought from nearby house. She
sat down and wrote letters and
talked iovially with her friends.
Her followers squatted on the
ground nearby, many of them en-
gagged in spinning cloth.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. PA
10, ALTO, Calf, May -. W.H-
An edition of the Stanford Daily
containing an editorial which at.
tackled Theodore j. Hoover, brother
of the President. as "militaristic"
was delivered today.
A total of 5000 copies of the
paper were sent out in the mails
and by carrier boys.
The publication has regular cir
tulatiom of $500 but 400 extra
copies were printed because the
student journalists anticipated an
extraordinary demand for today's
issue.
No attempt was made by the fac.
ulty TO prevent publication of the
editorial which criticizes Hoover,
who is dean of the Stanford cngin-
eering school of which President
Hoover is a graduate.
The editorial was written after
an evening of uncertainty and "A
two hour conference between stu.
dent journalists, press association
representative and Hoover.
Quotations from the treatise writ
ten by the Presidents brother for
guidance of students, and which
caused so much excitement, were:
"Thc human race develops by war
and succeeds in war in proportion
TO its use of metal; races perish in
peace.
Couture is increased by invention
of new weapons.
"Pacifists err in assuming tina,
peace is desirable.

Issues Statement
Hoover climaxcd the evening with
statement for publication which
read:
"Thc document quoted is con
