In passing upon the appeal of Wil liam G.

' Records on file here show that ih addition to immerise quantities o liquors purchased and stored by in dividual consumers, there were i storage when the Volstead act be came effective large stocks held b hotels and restaurants ass reserves r Whether these latter stocks coi within today's ruling has not beei determined. It was anticipated that test cases would be filed soon on thi: and similar questions arising fron the undetermined scope of the nem 7 interpretation of the Volstead act - Justico Clarke, who rendered thc f opinion today, held that the trans r portation of liquor from varehouse I storage to the owner's home would be - legal, if the liquor had been lawfully acquired and for lawful purposes. Move Not Prohibited. "That transportation of the liquoi 3 -.-- is not such as is prohibited by 1 the section is too apparent to justify detailed consideration of the many - provisions of the act inconsistent with a construction which would ren - der such removal unlawful, and that the act is understood by the officers charged with its execution as per -nitting such' transportation is shown by the provision of the regulations o fthe bureau of internal revenue au thorizing permits for the transporta tion of liquor from permanent resi dence of an owner to another in case of his removal, although no sueli transfer is in terms provided for by the act." The opinion pointed out, however that internal revenue authorities un doubtedly had administrative powei to regulate the transfer of such liq. uors so as to prevent their use ir violation of the law. An intention to confiscate privat( properties, the opinion concluded "even intoxicating liquors, will no be raised by inference and construe tion from provision of law whicl: have ample field for their operatior in effecting a purpose clearly indi. cated and declared." Judge McReynolds, concurring ii the judgment of the court, dissente( as to the reasonin gby which it was reached. "I think the Volstead act wa properly interpreted by the court! below," he said, "but to enforce il as thus construed would result it virtual confiscation of lawfully ac quired liquors by preventing or un. duly interfering with their consump EEEEEEEE-EEEEEEE Suits A ell our entire Stoci I Overcoats at Ac agents for the fan r & Marx Dubbe year lines. >ods are all brant style; not old goo h prices of the pa your -opportunit' lerchandise at R ave been looking you need wait ne yan ClotI in& of Hart Schaffner & Mar Cor.

Opportunity for Fraud. One effect of the decision foreseen was the danger of increased oppor tunity for fraud aniong persons seek ing means of violating the law. Without the check on transportation provided by the permit system, offi cials indicated that they expected greater difficulty in controlling un lawful sales. A construction had not been reached tonight as to whether the court's interpretation opens the way for unrestricted transportation in in terstate commerce. That the trans fer can be made within a btate ap parently was specific, but the lan guage of the court when analyzed may yet show, officials thought, means whereby interstate transpor tation can be stopped. In the partic ular case involved it was pointed out the owner's legal residence and the place of storage were within the Prepare for "FLU" Is Doctors' Advice.
