present permit holders can sell
beer under their old licenses until
new licenses are issued, was set
tied by the State Liquor Commits
sion in ruling that all old licens-
es will be regarded as valid for a
limited time, probably ten days,
until the new licenses are issued.
The Commission has power to do
this under the clause which allows
it to make rules not in conflict
with the act. The first raid made
under the new act resulted in the
seizure of more than % gallons of
rye whisky and the arrest of r. B.
Flowers, an alleged bootlegger.
This first raid will serve as a test
case, and the Federal, county and
city officers, who participated in
it, believe that the new law gives
them greater advantage than ever
before in their fight against boot
leggers. Now that the control act
is in force the possession of any
amount of intoxicating liquor not
licensed by the commission and OBJ
tained from a dispensary licensed
by the commission is grounds for
an arrest, according to Percy War
ren Green, chief deputy attorney
general. Since the commission
will not license any hard liquor un-
til after the repeal of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment the possession
of any hard liquor now is sufficient
grounds for arrest. Although the
arrest was on a State warrant
sworn out by Federal Prohibition
agents, full particulars as to the
procedure that the Wilmington po-
lice will follow in such cases will
be forwarded to the Department
of Public Safety in the very near
future, Mr.. Green said.

The ruling viii mean that all per-

licenses. The fees under the new
law are somewhat higher. Mean

HERRIOT MAY BE CALLED.
Former Premier Mentioned to Form
New Government.

PARIS, January % (P).-President
Albert Lebrun is looking for strong
man to handle the delicate parliament
tary situation resulting from the over
throw early today of Premier Joseph
Paul-Boncour.
The powerful figure of former Pre-
mier Edouard Herriot looms as potential
head of the government, although his
strong attitude on the war debt mo-
mentarily appears to eliminate him.
A certain amount of receptivity, how
ever, was indicated in his statement to
the Associated Press relative to the
possibility of his forming cabinet. 1T
is too early" he said. THE lines are
not clearly drawn" It was NJ Herriot
who was overthrown because he in
sisted that France make the debt pay
ment to the United States December Is.
Not only Is the Chamber of Deputies
upset because Of a split In the Left ma
jority, resulting in Socialist detection,
but there have been numerous disorder
ly demonstrations against heavier finan-
cial burdens. The latest was mani
festation Of taxpayers, who shouted in
the boulevards: mo more taxes!
M. Paul-Boncour. who had ruled only
40 days. was defeated. 800 to 1913. early
this morning on the taxation issue. The
Socialists. which had supported him,
broke over proposals for S per cent
increase in income and other general
taxes.
Friends of Edouard Daladier, war
minister in the Paul-Boncour govern
ment. are presenting him as the ideal
strong man, favoring the decree method
to balance the budget Others prom
inently mentioned are Camille Chau-
temps. minister of interior under M
Paul -Boncour, and Senator Jules jean
neney, with former President CASTOR
Doumergue as a possible neutral COM
manding figure.
Taxpayers from various regions OF
France. carrying placards as though at
national convention, made manifesto
ton in streets of the American quarter
causing nervous merchants to pull down
their iron shutters.
Many temporary arrests were made
but charges by plumed and helmeted
Republican guards dispersed the mani
festants who previously had adopted
resolutions opposing higher taxes.
President Lebrun will continue his
consultations with political leaders
tomorrow.

UNCERTAINTY IN BERLIN.
Won Papen Expected TO Play Important
Role In New Cabinet.

BERLIN, January % [P.-Chancel-
lor Kurt Won SchleicheF. for almost a
decade considered to be Germany's
most clever player of political chess, to-
day was checkmated by the opposition
which he a few days ago described as
political manipulators and resigned.
Former Chancellor Franz Won Papen,
Nationalist Leader Alfred Hugenberg
and National Socialist Leader Adolf
Hitler. plus the East Prussian Junkers
and also certain big industrialists. per-
suaded President Won Hindenburg that
Gen. Won Schleicher was unable to
master Germany's economic crisis and
insisted that stronger man must be
placed at the helm.
With the dismissal Of Gen. Won
Schleicher, President Won Hindenburg s
conception of the constitution has be-
come pivotal question.
On one hand those who scorn parlia-
mentarism try to convince him the
country is in such . state Of emergency
that the fate of the people is more i'm
portant than the letter Of the constitu-
ton. On the other hand organized
labor of all political shades solemnly
adjures the President to "energetical-
ly oppose all underground efforts aim
ing at coup d'etat and to insist upon
q Sc4AStACub4Oild4 cOlublUu VI LIlc
The deposed PrrlSsian premier, Otto
Braun, even issued a public warning
that declaration of a stat of national
emergency would be tantamount to
high treason.
Former Chancellor Won Papen, as
the confldant of President Won Hinden-
burg. Immediately started contracting
Herr Hitler, DR.. Hugenberg and the
Centrists, but Wilhelmstrasse expects
no definite developments before Mon
day.
Gen. Won Schleicher, head of the
twentieth cabinet since the birth of the
German Republic, resigned after gov
erning the nation only 58 days. This
was shorter administration than any
previous chancellors with the exception
Of that of Prince Max Won Baden,
head of the last imperial cabinet, who
was swept away by the revolution after
30 days In the chancellorship.
Gen. Won Schleicher resigned be-
cause the President refused to vest him
with power to dissolve the Reichstag.
He interpreted this refusal as meaning
that he no longer enjoyed the Presi-
dents confidence, without which II
would be impossible for him to rule in
the face Of a hostile Reichstag.
