FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS HOME-MADE LIQUOR The state in the cxerri.-o of its police powers can ku beyond the provision of a federal law of a similar nature but cannot uphold an act the rlfcet of which is to nullify a federal law. This Is the opinion of c'harles J. Orblson, federal prohibition director for Indiana, as set ferth by him in ;C letter to the prosecutor's edhee. Mr. Orbison says: "Under section live cf the Indiana prohibition act the manufacture of winy or eitler by a person for Iiis own domestic consumption is permitted. However, under the federal enforcement act tho manufacture of all intoxicating lbjuor for beverape purposes Is absolutely prohibited. It is my opinion, therefore, that so much of section tive of the state law, which grants permission to manufacture wine or cider containing more than one-half of ono percent of alcohol for home consumption, ba.s been repealed by the 18th amendment und tho enforcing act enacted by the congrcts on Oct. 27, "It in to be bomo in mind that the state In the exercise of its police power can go beyond the provision of tho federal law in prohibiting and regulating? the manufacture and rale of Intoxicating liquor, but It can not ur ho'd a provision which permits a person to do something prohibited by national law. You will, therefore, not suffer any person charged with violating the state law. to hld behind tho permission feature of section tive above noted, for that provision has been wiped out ly tho sweeping prohibition proision of eectlon three, of title two of the federal act." The letter will be rent to all couni ty prosecutor' ottlces in Indiana, according to the announcement. HEIGHT SMALLPOX CASE.
