?IGID TEST FOR
PROHIBITION
jft -:
Arguments in Supreme Court
Todav
j Washington. Nov. ID.?The supreme- ;
court will hear arguments tomorrow j
on the constitutionality of the war-;
time prohibition act. involved in threei
appeals from federal court rulings
One from Kentucky declared the act.:
invalid ami two from New York up-:
heldjt.
Owing to the short time elapsing:
before constitutional prohibition be- i
comes effective an early-opinion by;
: the court is generally anticipated. The i
government asked, that the hearing j
be advanced. < ?
<??aawaMii iiiwiubb?wa>?g?
! Ordinarily the eases would not have
been reached for at least a year. Tl;<
Kentucky case was appealed by the
government after Federal Judge!
? Evansha restrained internal revertnej
^officials from interfering with the re-]
mOval from bond by the Kentucky!
Distilling: and Warehouse compafny of'
about TOyOOO.OO? gallons of whiskey j
valued at approximately $75,000,000.1
Judge Evans held that the act vio- j
lated the fifth amendment to thej
federal constitution prohibiting con-!
fiscation of private property without i
just compensation. The New York j
case resulted from denial by the fei-,j
eral district .court of an injuncti<?n i<>>:
-Pry fuss.- Bl?m & <.'<>.. to enable Mi.-.-.tj
concern to remove whiskey iY:,m.
bond, the other was appealed by .Ja
cob Huppert, a New York brewer,
after the lower court's refusal to re
strain internal revenue officials fromi
j interfering with his manufacture of
: b^er containing more than one-half
j of; one per cent, alcohol.
; . Th.c brief of the Kentucky parties,
j fil$d today, argued that the federal
igovernment, had no authority excepl
!under its war powers to stop the sale
jof intoxicating liquors within a State,
land also riui! the act violated the fifth
[amendment. Congress intended, it
isaid. that the acl shouJd remain op?r
iative only pending complete do
Imobilization of the army which Pres
ident Wilson and others had declared
to be u lomplished. !
A gi .era! denial of these argu-j
ments was made in the government
;brief which contended that a state ofj
war would continue to exist until rat
ification f?f the peace treaty.

Harding Explains Recent Break
in Stock Market
Washington, Nov. I'.).?The recent;
i
break in tho> New York stock mar- j
kcl was (ja?, to "unbridled specula-1
tlon." Governor Harding of the felt- j
era! reserve hoard said in a letter
tonight to Senator Owen of Oklaho
ma, who had asked for a-direct -ex-j
planation of the price crash.
Speculators topk no*heed of w.j.rn-1
ings issued l>y the board and by the j
fedora! reserve bank at New York'
that reserves were declining and.'that
a halt xniust be called. Sir. Harding;
said, and the speculative movement[
j continued. These circumstances, he
] added, then forced the New York
-bank to call the attention of redis
counting b??Ks to the situation* in
order that demands of-Teguar custom
ers for call money,in handling com
mercial .transactions might be pro
tected.
The. board had made the specific
announcement, /Mr. Harding said,
thai it would not sanction "any pol
icy which/would require federal re
serve banks to withhold credit de
manded, by commerce and industry
for the; processes of production and
distribution in order to enable mem
ber banks to furnish cheap money for
speculative purposes."

"Sail Over The Roads" ?/ # v
THE new f hree-Point Cantilever
Springs of Overland 4, by their special
construction and design, protect car and
passengers from ordinary road jolts. Bump
ing, twisting* swaying and vibrating are
wonderfully lessened. The blows of the
road seldom reach you. There is less ten
dency to bodily fatigue after long rides.
The springs of Overland 4 attached at
the ends of a 130-inch Springbase give the
riding comfort and road steadiness hereto
fore possible only with cars of long wheel
base and great weight, yet Overland 4 retains
the light weight and economy advantages of
100-inch wheelbase.
Three-Point Cantilever Springs protect {
the car from the hammering and wear of road^i
blows. They lengthen, its _ life .and . reduce^
