U. S. COURT HOLDS UP DRY DECISION.

Washington, Dec. B.—No decision on the constitutionality. of the war time prohibition and the Volstead enforcement act was rendered.today by the supreme court and there was no indication when a decision would be handed down. The vast liquor stock of the country are ready to be released at a moment’s notice should the supreme court hold wartime prohibition unconstitutional. Bonded warehouses in which are stored about 60,000,000 gallons of distilled spirits have been accumulating surplus box cars for the last few weeks to lose no time in distributing the liquor as soon as it can be legally sold.
