DRY LAW TEST CASE STARTED BY FARMERS
 TRUCK LOAD OF BEER

substance held the Eighteenth Amendment invalid because it was ratified by state legislatures and not by conventions called for rati- fication
 Clark Makes Distinction
 Both methods are provided for by the constitution and all the amendments have been ratified by legislatures. Clark made the point, however, that regulation of liquor was not one of the powers trans ferred by the states to the govern ment. A power originally retained, he held, must be transferred by conventions.
 On two previous occasions the Supreme court has ruled the Eigh teenth amendment constitutional, and the legal consensus with few exceptions, is that Judge Clark's s decision will be reversed
 Should his ruling be upheld, how ever, something approaching legal chaos might result for a time.
 Problems of Reversal
 States having no prohibition laws would be as they were before the Eighteenth amendment was passed. They could license saloon keepers on the very day, if they chose.
 Another problem would be the thousands who have gone to prison or who are under sentence for vio- lation of the liquor laws. The Pres ident might fling open the barred doors by wholesale pardons in the case of federal prisoners, or Con- gress high be called on for nasty legislation to free them.
 Some legal authorities feel that other action than opening the doors by guards would not be necessary.
 Tn turn would come hundreds of complications and possibly attacks upon every other amendment to the constitution.

 James Clark McReynolds, Ten nesseean and a bachelor, sits by Holmes. He was attorney general from March, 1913, to August, 1914, when he was appointed associate justice.
 He is blunt and direct, as many a lawyer attempting oratoric a l heights has learned. McReynolds also participated in the 1920 deci- sion.
 Louis Dembitz Brandeis is Ken tuckian, born in Louisville and edu- cated abroad and at Harvard. He was named an associate justice in 1916 by Woodrow Wilson and con- firmed after sharp fight.
 Distrustful Views
 Some senators viewed his lib- eral attitude with distrust. He did not change them and goes along with Holmes many times on ques- tions involving broad matters of public policy. Brandeis is an au- thority on law affecting the Inter state commerce commission and railroads.
 George Sutherland sits to the right of McReynolds. He was born in Buckinghamshire, England, edu- cated at the University of Michi- gan, went to Utah and was a United States senator. He was ap- pointed by Harding in 1922.

AMENDMENTS TO CAME LAW PASS
 THROUGH H OUSE
Bill Protested by Alaskans Gets Approval of Lower
 House of Congress

A bill, amendatory to the Alaska Game Law, providing for searches Of boats, camps and camp out fits without warrants and author izing a combined $2 hunting and trapping license for residents of the Territory and other changes, has just been passed by the House of Representatives.
 The measure, which was intro duced last April, was the object of protests by practically every Alas ka Chamber of Commerce, all of which objected to the authority for searches without warrants.
 Text of Provision
 The authority bestowed by the measure is broad, as is indicated by the language used as follows:
 Any officer or employee en- powered to enforce this Act shall have authority without warrant to search any camp, camp outfit, pack or pack animals, automobile, wagon or other vehicle, sled or any boat, vessel, or other craft, in the Ter ritorial waters of the United States, when such officer or em- ployee "has reasonable cause to be- lieve" that such camp, etc.. has any of the animals or birds protected by the Alaska Game Law, taken, pos sessed, sold, intended for sale or transported contrary to law"
 Other changes include: provision for a resident export license for trophies, combinating hunting and trapping license, reduces buying license fees for resident co-part- nerships or partnerships to $10 each, and nonresidents to $100, and fixes the alien license fee at $500
 Agent Fee Fixed
 Nonresident agents of nonresi- dents and nonresident corporations are subject to the same fee as their principles, that is, $100. Alien agents, even though representing residents or resident corporations as well as alien corporations, are required to pay $500 fee.
 It is also provided that no li- cense shall be issued to an alien agent for any principle who has not himself procured the proper kind of license.
 The following fees are provided: Nonresident general hunting and trapping license, $50; nonresident small-game hunting license, $l0; export resident and return license, $1 for each trophy; residence ex- port permit, if removing residence, $1 for each animal, $1 for each bird, if otherwise, $5 for each animal, $1 for each bird; registered guide license $10; alien special n- cense $100; and for farm license $2.

 If his honors were medals-and he has a collection of them, too they would weigh him down. He is a New Yorker, was governor of the state for two terms; has been associate justice of the court over which he presides; was the Repub- lican presidential candidate in 1916; Coolidge's secretary of state; judge of the Permanent Court of Inter national justice and named chief justice in 1880 to succeed William Howard Taft.
 Oliver Wen-cil Holmes
 At the right of the chief justice sits Oliver Wendell Holmes. Ninety years have stopped his body but his head with its abundant snowy hair is magnificent, his mind quick and keen.
 His father was Oliver Wendell Holmes of Boston, wit, author, aris- tocrat and physician. The son is wit, author, aristocrat and jurist.
 They call him "the great liberal and his dissenting opinions have become legal classics. He was a member of the bench in 1920 when the court by unanimous decision held the Eighteenth amendment constitutional.

 To the surprise of the crowd, Ledbetter did not go behind the scenes to congratulate Naida, nor were Naida and Dick among those who drove out to his apartment. The marquesa too was omitted from the party by her own re- quest. She did not feel well, she said, had not slept the night be- fore. Would they drop her at MT. Stanard's house?

oh n 0. Stenbraten Re- turns from Visit to Up-
 per Yukon Country

There were numerous locations of lode and placer claims in the 'Carmack district of Yukon Terri tory following the reported discov- cry of pay dirt in the region sev- eral months ago, says John O. Stenbraten, prospector and mining operator, who returned this week from trip to the Upper Yukon country.
 New activities in Yukon Terri tory centered in the Carmack dis trict," declared MT. Stenbraten. At Whitehorse I met Mining Record CT Burton of Dawson. He told me that 120 lode claims and 1872 miles of placer claims had been staked in the Carmack district in the past summer.
 .'The principal creeks in the dis trict are Stoddard, Kitchener and Big Greek.
 Not much development work has been done, and the district has not yet demonstrated it's possi- bilities."
 Carmack is about 150 miles down the Yukon River from Whitehorse.
