CLARK’S RULING HIT GT lUDGE IN DRY CASE Chicago Plea Turned Down as Opinion Is Termed ‘Without Merit.’ By United Prett CHICAGO. Dec. 19.—The arguments on which Federal Judge William T. Clark of New Jersey recently held the eighteenth amendment to be invalid have been characterized as "without merit’’ by Federal Judge Walter C. Lindley. In a case similar to that in New Jersey, Lindley Thursday delivered the first disagreement written here to Clark’s opinion, and overruled a motion to quash an indictment charging George Morris of Streator, HI., with operation of a still. Replying to the contention of David Alswang, defense counsel, that the eighteenth amendment was invalid because it had not been submitted to a constitutional convention for ratification, as Judge Clark had ruled,' Judge Lindley said: "It is only proper to remember that all jurisdiction exercised by the federal government is exercised by ■"irtue of the Constitution and laws enacted thereunder; that the Constitution itself is a grant of powers from the states to the federal government; ' that each amendment t hereto is a grant of power from s he several states to the federal government; and that no jurisdiction exists in the United States government except by virtue of grant of power through the Constitution or amendment thereto from the several states. It was pointed out that in the Clark decision the New Jersey judge had contended that the framers of the Constitution had provided, by implication, that under certain conditions it was mandatory that amendments be submitted to the conventions.

that the framers of the Constitution had any such intention,’’ Judge Lindley replied. "The men who drafted the Constitution were, according to the light of history, too intelligent and cautions to allow their words to convey a meaning in nowise explained." Judge Lindley declared that if ratification by legislatures is invalid, every amendment since the twelfth is void. "Remembering that the supreme court has said in three cases that the eightesnth amendment was adopted in accordance with the Constitution; that it was ratified by forty-six of the forty-eight legislatures; that no amendment so ratified has bean declared void, it scams to me that the question of constitutionality involved is without merit,’’ Judge Lindley concluded. Held on Charge of Burglary Shelby Lewis, Negro, 3516 Apple street, was held today on burglary and grand larceny charges, alleged to have entered the Lieberman dry goods store, 1608 Boulevard place, several days ago, and to have stolen a large quantity of merchandise.

and cloak manufacturers are in the usual seasonal lull. "Dress manufacturers report rush orders for small quantities, but competition forces such close figuring that there is little or no profit in such business. "Christmas shopping in department stores has been larger than expected and actual purchases rather than inquiries have been especially noticeable this week. "Specialty clothing shops have noticed the usual pre-Christmas lull, while others selling merchandise more in character with the demand are having increased sales.” Negro Trio Held by Police Three Negroes arrested with auto tires and a motometer police believe are stolen are Perry Jackson, 20, of 1638 East Georgia street; Arrow Frazier, 22, of 725 .East Georgia street, and Robert Weathers, 18, of 519 Vs Ogden street.

OPPOSE SENATE BILLJINALIENS Reed Measure Would End Quota System, Is Claim. By United Prett WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—An attempt to relieve unemployment by legislation affecting immigration has met the opposition of the departments of state and labor, and senators concerned with the problem ware forced today to reconsider the bill they had in mind. A measure introduced by Senator Reed (Rep., Pa.), would suspend all immigration, except of relatives of foreign born now in the United States, for two years. , At a committee meeting Thurs-

day Reed was informed his bill would have the effect of nullifying i the national origins act regulating 1 Immigration quotas. ! Secretary of State Stimson said the Reed Bill, as well as the Johnson bill pending in the house, would | reverse the policy of the present law. He suggested instead “another method which would avoid dangers of this measure and yet work out a cut of 90 per cent of all immigration."

liable to reassessment, even if the states claim in the bank’s receivership is not allowed. Ogden's opinion was made as result of a petition now on file before Circuit Judge Harry O. Chamberlin, asking that the state’s license fund be held a preferred claim in the receivership. The fund totals $7,565. Ogden held that the state is liable for the amount whether the claim is allowed or not.
