NO EARLY DECISION ON TEST CASE EXPECTED

Indianapolis, April 2.—W. R. W'heeler, of the National-Anti Saloon League, made the chief argument for the dry forces here today in urging the constitutionality of the Indiana prohibition law. His claim was that th elgeislature possesses a police power and the enactment of the prohibition Measure makes use of these powers. Phillip Gould, attorney for the Cook Brewing Company, of Evansville, representing the wets, declared the Cook Company’s value would be reduced from $1,000,000 to $500,000 us the law* were held constitutional. He argued that prohibition was held unconstitutional in 1855 by the supreme court and that the basic law had not been changed since then.

Fifty eight dollars were realized from the dance tickets, eighteen dollars and forty cents from the sale of carnations which were donated by Rensselaer’s public spirited citizen, John H. Holden.

WAR SUMMARY.

This is the pause between the first and second rounds of Armageddon. Hindenburg’s initial leap was broken in midair; but again his army is crouched for a new fling. It may be more terrific even than the first one, but the allies this time have the tremendous advantage of being fully prepared.* The Germans have brought up their heavy guns, fortified every foot of the captured ground and the area through which they advanced in the ten days that preceded the check is again swarming with fresh troops. Foch is ready. The allies are eager to have the Teuton tiger make his second leap; they are unshakably confident it will be a leap into the abyss of ultimate disaster. The armies of France and Britain are thrilled to the core by the news that the Yankees are on the march. .Of the last forty-eight hours’ fighting there is little to tell. It was all of a local character, savage though it was. ' Between Albert and Montdidier there was no change in the line. The German front between the Somme and Demuin village was pushed back by Franco-British forces a slight distance. The Germans in Arrachis wood are less than five miles from the Amiens-Paris railway and are expected to concentrate their next blow on that sector. The enemy is developing increasing aerial activity.

OLD JOHN BARLEYCORN TURNS UP HIS TOES

Indianapolis, April 2.—lndiana became “dry” from border to border tonight at midnight. The statewide prohibition law so written that intoxicating liquor may not be manufactured, sold, given away or shipped into the statd except for medical and sacramental purposes took effect at that hour. • Members of the Indiana AntiSaloon League estimated that 3,400 saloons in the state closed their doors. They estimated that thirty breweries in the State were affected and possibly twelve to fifteen distilleries. The amount of money, league members say that has been spent annually for intoxicating liquor in the state is $26,000,000, which they say under the prohibition law will be “saved.” No guess was* hazarded as to how it may be spent during the ensuing year. The closing of all places where liquor might be purchased followed strenuous efforts of the “wets” to have the law unconstitutional. The Indiana supreme court heard oral arguments in two cases involving the law today but no decision was rendered.

In onb case, a suit filed by saloon men in Lake county which resulted in the law being declared constitutional by the county judge, the oral arguments were heard before briefs were riled. The court intimated that an order will be made giving until Thursday or next week for the written briefs to be placed on file.'" The contention of the saloon men in the Lake county case was that the lave, gives a monopoly of the liquor business to pharamacists and therefore is uncontitutional* The case argued originated in 1 Evansville and resulted in the law | being declared unconstitutional. It 1 was filed by a brewing company and; presented,”the attack on the law from the standpoint of the manufacturer. While there was no intimation as to whether the supreme court will decide the 2 cases together or when a decision may be expected, the court often has decided cases involving the same law at the same time, and as soon as possible after the arguments and briefs are considered there are questions as one of general statewide importance. x In practically all the cities of the state the police had made arrangements to enforce the prohibition law. Under its terms all intoxicating liquors must be shipped from the 3tate within ten days.
