Hie supreme court of Indiana ruled j teday. This far reaching decision Xas handed down in reversing the decisI ion of a comparatively unimportant ;c; e appealed from the Delaware i county circuit court. i The court concurred unanimously ■ ;; the decision and opinion by Judge I Benjamin M. Willoughby. The court held technical failure of the 1921 legislature to alter the title of an amendment to the 1917 prohibition law causes original provisions of the 1917 act to prevail. Power to arrest persons possessing ( li'ltior was taken away from police. !county and state ollicers by the su- ) pi? me court according to interpreta • I turn of the court's decision. Thej i ruling restores Indiana to the status j j of 1917 in prohibition enforcement; R. C. .Minton, assistant federal prohibition director for Indiana, said the decision lowers the bars against the possession of .ponded liqtaor bought before state prohibition be-. <ame effective in 1917. Possession oi' liquor however is prima facia evidence ot federal law violation, Mint oil said. The decision of the supreme court dc.es not affect the law enacted by the recent session of the legislature which tlie transportation of liquor by' 1 motor vehicle regardless of quantity | ti felony. 1 It requires 1,596,009 paper marks t(>| |a ilOmark gold piece in Germany.
