that the trainers Of the Constitution
had any such intention Judge
Lindley replied. The men who
drafted the Constitution we're, ac-
cording to the light Of history, TOO
intelligent and cautions to allow
their words TO convey a meaning III
nowise explained"
Judge Lindley declared that If
ratification by legislatures is invalid,
every amendment since the twelfth
is void.
Remembering that the supreme
court has said in three cases that
the eighteenth amendment was
adopted in accordance with the Con-
stitution; that it was ratified by
forty-six of the forty-eight legis-
latures; that no amendment so
ratified has been declared void, it
seems to me that the question of
cCnstitutionality involved is without
merit" Judge LindIey concluded.

CLARK'S RULING
HIT BY JUDGE
IN DRY CASE
Chicago Plea Turned Down
as Opinion Is Termed
without Merit
United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO. Dec. i9-The argu-
Iaents on which Federal Judge VIII
liam T. Clark Of New Jersey recent
~ held the eighteenth amendment
TO be invalid have been character
lied as without merit" by Federal
Judge Walter G. Lindley.
In case similar TO that in New
Jersey, Lindley Thursday delivered
the first disagreement written here
to Clark's opinion. and overruled a
motion to quash an indictment
charging George Morris Of Streator,
Ill, with operation Of still.
Replying TO the contention Of Da-
Wd Alswang. defense counsel, that
the eighteenth amendment was in
valid because it had not been sub
mitted to a constitutional conven-
ton for ratification, as Judge Clark
had ruled, Judge Lindley said:
TT IS only proper to remember
that all jurisdiction exercised by the
federal government is exercised by
virtue of the Constitution and laws
enacted hereunder; that the Con-
stitution itself is a grant Of powers
from the states to the federal gov
eminent; that each amendment
thereto is a grant Of power from
the several states to the federal
government; and that no jurisdic-
ton exists in the United States
government except by virtue OF
grant Of power through the Consti-
tuition or amendment thereto from
the several states.
It was pointed out that in the
Clark decision the New Jersey
Judge had commended that the
trainers Of the Constitution had
provided, by implication, that under
certain conditions it was manda-
tory that amendments be submit
ted to the conventions.
I know of no basis for inferring
