BORAH TOINS|ST
ON DRY STATE
SAFEGUARD

Two Senatols-one a lame duck
wet, the other a Constitutional
dry held the key today to
prompt action by Congress in
submitting prohibition repeal to
the States.
They were Senator's John j.
Blaine tR0 Of Wisconsin and
Borah (R) Of Idaho. Blaine
headed the Senate Judiciary sub
committee named to draft a re-
peal resolution. Borah led the
demicated ranks of the drys. who
will accept submission Of the re-
peal issue, If adequate protection
Tor dry States is retained.
Blaine Wet Spokesman
AS the subcommittee began it's
deliberations, Blaine served as
spokesman fol the vets and
Borah as the representative of
the dryS If they can agree on
the form Of the resolution, its
adoption by Congress would be
assured.
Three other members of the
Subcommittee-SenatorS Herbert
tR0 of Rhode Island, Walsh
CD of Montana, and Dill CD
OF WaShington-all were ready
TO accept any resolution propos-
ing repeal, even If it contained
protection for dry States. Their
approval would be expected if
Blaine and Eorah were able to
compromise. ...
Blaine paved the way to an
agreement by submitting, a new
form Of repeal resolution at the
start Of the present session. In
stead Of using the word repeal"
ne proposed a resolution wiping
out the present amendment by
substituting q new amendment
under the title ARTICLE 18" in the
Constitution.
Provisions Of Proposal
Blaine's proposal would declare
Congress has no power under the
interstate commerce clause in
article to. authorize transporta.
tion or importation of alcoholic
beverages into dry States. Then
1t would specifically prohibit TAX
ing intoxicating liquors into dry
State. It would make illegal
transportation of such liquors sub
Ject to State prohibition laws.
The effect Of the plan would
be to take national prohibition
from the Constitution and to strip
Congress of all power to prohibit
traffic in alcoholic liquors in wet
States. At the same time. it
would make bootlegging liquor
from wet State into a dry State
9 Federal crime and give the dry
state concurrent power to punish
such crime. r-oe.,.
Borah has said privately he "a

NEW RULES TO
PROTECT CATTLE
State Board OF Agriculture Moves
TO Control Bangs Disease

AS all of Delaware's neighboring
States, including Pennsylvania,
Maryland, New Jersey, New York
and Virginia, have enacted regula-
tions providing that cattle must
have passed a negative blood test
for Bangs abortion disease before
entering those states, in order to
protect the cattle in the State of
Delaware, and to prevent the ship
ment into this State of cattle that
are not acceptable in other nearby
states, the Delaware State Board of
Agriculture has enacted regulations
requiring that cattle entering Della
ware must have passed a negative
blood test and meet cerlain require
ments in regard to Bangs abortion
disease.
Bangs abortion disease is becOm-
ing as important factor i'll the pro-
duction of healthy cattle as tubercu-'
losis was before the latter disease
was eradicated from so many herds
of cattle, and the Board strongly
urges Delaware farmers who are
purchasing cattle from other states
to make sure that they can obtain a
proper health chart covering both
the tuberculosis and Bangs disease
requirements.
Anyone desiring further informa-
tion, or copies of the following reg
ulatiOn, may obtain them from the

YIJELLEE, NEGRO
MURDERER, TO Be
GIVEN new TRIAL
Court OF Appeals Takes
Action Because Of No
Negroes On Jury Panel
TRIAL IN SEPTEMBER
Judge e Says Appellate
Court Had Previously
Upheld Jury Method

Yuel Lee, negro, convicted in the
Baltimore county court last fall of
the murder of an Eastern Shore far
mer, and sentenced to be hanged,
was granted a new trial on Tues
day by the Maryland Court of APP
peals.
The negro's attorneys had sought
a new trial ON the grounds there
were no negroes on the jury.
He was convicted OF killing Green
X. Davis, of Taylorsville, Worcester
county, but he was also charged
with the murder of Davis wife and
their two young daughters. He was
not brought to trial ON the other
counts.
The four members of the Davis
family were found slain in their
beds October 70, 1881, after Lee had
been discharged as a farmland.
Under terms of the decision, the
case is remanded to the circuit
court for Baltimore county at Tow
son, to be heard at the next court
session, which is scheduled in Sep
tember.
The decision of the court was that
the established practice" of select
ing white men for jury duty limits
jury duty to whites "as efectually
as if such a restriction were pre-
scribed by statute"
The decision of the Court of Ap-
peals follows in part:
I'm Baltimore county. as it APP
pears from Judge Duncan's expla-
nation, the judge has merely sought
about him for good men to aid as
jurors in the proper administration
of justice without letting racial con-
enter into his choice
His action, he says, has been merely
that of selection in the exercise of
the discretion entrusted to him.
But it has been strongly urged
upon this court that the course of
procedure followed, and the actual
selection made by it throughout all
the jury terms of the last 2G years,
show an established practice or sys-
tenn in which no opening is left for
of the negro race to obtain
places on juries, and that this
to exclusion in the cOnsti-
sense.
And there is no gainsaying that
in pursuing the matter to noting
down the names of good men sug-
