New Litiaor Rules By Supreme Court Whiskey Can Not Be Drawn From Bonded Warehouses For Personal Use _ I Washington, Jan. SO.?Intoxi-j eaxhfg liquors, stored in govern ment bonded warehouses can not be withdrawn by the owners for their own personal use. the su- j preme court today held in a de cision delivered by Justice Mc-j Kenna, and dissented to by Justice! MeKeynolds. Such liquor ean only i be transported from the bonded warehouses. Justice McKenna stat- j ed. "to a wholesale druggist fori sale to him for purposes not pro-; hibited." The court in a previous decision , had held that owners could with draw from private warehouses, Honor for their own consumption j or for the use of their family or; their bona fide guests. Today's' ruling marks a wide distinction ' between private and bonded ware- , houses. Justice McKenna on this j point said that "mere ownership j was not the equivalent" to pos session and declared that under/ the Volstead law. "there must be ownership, arid possession in one's private dwelling, and that charac- | ?ter can not be assigned to the j bonded warehouses of the govern- j mont." The cases before the Court did not. he said, have the j effect of depriving those who held warehouse certificates of their prop- j erty without due process of law. j nor did it amount, he added, to j the taking of private property for: public purposes without just com pensation. Referring to the contention that j the prohibition amendment and the Volstead act if applied to liquor ? manufactured and lawfully ac quired before the amendment and | the law became effective would he j void, as taking from property its essential attributes of the right to | use it. possess it ana enjoy it. Jus- j tice McKenna stated that the court j was "not disposed to trace the! elements of the contentions mih- j utely." as they were all answered i by the former decision of the j -court in the national prohibition eases; Referring to that part of the ! law which permits one to use law- \ fully obtained liquor in his home, j Justice McKenna asserted this! right can not be construed to ex- j tend "to liquors not so situated, or I to put it more pointedly and in ten- j tion to make all bonded ware- j houses of the country outbuildings | of its dwellings." Declaring he had been in dis- ? agreement with the previous deci-i sion of the court in holding that j liquor in pivate warehouses could ! be lawfully moved by owners to j their residences for consumption, j Justice McReynolds asserted that) !f the doctrine laid down by the] court in that case was good. it would permit owners to withdraw; liquor from bonded warehouses, and he -urged that unless the court took that view it should "frankly" withdraw its former de oision. In the present cases liquor j was entrusted to government ware- j houses as permitted by the statute, he said, but the owner "is denied the privilege of taking it home be i ause that warehouse is not con tributory to his dwelling, nor an adjunct thereto, nor an outbuilding connected i herewith.?' The decision grew out of a con- , solidation of four cases, all brought against internal revenue collectors to compel them to permit the with- | drawal of the liquor. In each case : the decision was against the owner of the warehouse certificate. Marriage License Record.

The coin is dropped into the slot, a small lever pushed and the stamp is found in. a receptacle below. The machines are practically "crook-proff' isasrauch as the coin remains in sight for some time af ter the purchase and the Postoffice 'Department puts a sign over each I machine, warning against the use j of any hut good United States coins. This gives it the same pro tection that surrounds the mails and as inspectors are constantly on the job. there is little chance that the most hardened will take a chance of saving a few pennies by the use of had coins. The department through the I Postmaster General has installed the machines in the postoffices and ' in several public buildings in Washington, the idea being to ac commodate persons desiring stamps after regular hours or without 'walking to the postoffice.

This slight but important alter ation seems to have been made in the famous slogan spread broad cast by Dodge Brothers a few] months ago. The change was! brought about by the most persist- '? eat epidemic of public curiosity j since the lime when Dodge Broth ers first announced that they were] about to market a car and then refused to tell what kind of a car it was going to be. That was eight years ago. Dodge i h ot hers lat?-st bid for a complete and exclusive monopoly j on public attention, so far as it per- j tains to the automotive industry, came on .January la. when they announced that they were*about to make a substantial rerun-lion in the i pice of their cars and then declin- j ed to tell what the prices would ! I >e. The inert- fact thai they will not tell until February. 1 makes every one want to know immediately. J. M. McColfum", the Dodge j Brothers dealer here, was com menting on the subject today, some what on the order of the foregoing paragraphs, when a voice on the; telephone inquired, "if there! wasn't a chance to get a little ad vance information on those prices." There were good reasons, the voice said, why the "tip" should be given 1 out in this particular ease, "and it would be sure to turn out to your advantage." But the dealer ex pressed his regrets and the voice ' reluctantly w ithdrew. "That is the way it has been go-; ing ever since January 11," the' dealer said. "1 "ever appreciated) what an intense interest there was in Dodge Brothers .Motor Cars un-; til this happened. Thai fellow who just called probably wanted the in- j formation fur some business rea son, or maybe for sheer curiosity. Perhaps he had a bet with some one. Anyhow. "n<- refused to give j his nanu-. The great majority of j those who call, however, leave; their names and telephone numbers! and on February 1 we are going; to have a special staff busy calling' ail these people and giving them! Cue real news. "We prefer this method of mak ing the new prices known because it avoids the possible confusion re sulting from publication of 'F.O.B, j Detroit' prices. There is no dispo- | sition on our part to make a mys- I tery of it. once the price becomes] known to us. But we have learn-! ed that local people are interested j in local prices and that is what we j are going to give them as soon as we can figure the amounts after1 we receive the information from the i factory. In due time, of course, these local prices will be published : but in order to learn the amounts! on the day of the announcement! i; will be necessary for interested parties to call a: our salesrooms] Or leave their telephone numbers, so that we may call them. "It is not difficult to see that we j are going to have a big year, as a! great percentage of these peoplei who want to know about the price! are in the market for a car. It j became known at our annual meet ing in Xcw Fork that Dodge Broth er- themselves anticipated an ex ceptional year and made prepar ations for i;. They exhibited a morion picture in which some of these preparations were revealed. ' They have been working steadily all '.vinter, you know, and will be fully prepared when the big rush I comes?and the rush is only a few days distant now. This means that! Dodge Brothers will soon be ship-! ping more cars per day than ever before in their history. "It has taken millions of dollars to finance this tremendous program j of increased production, but every one will soon see that it was an ex- i cellent investment." While it was generally expected In the industry that Dodge Brothers, would make a substantial cut. the unusual form of the announcement' proved to be a veritable bomb-, shell. Ai first glance it appeared to be a somewhat mysterious pro cedure but as the full significance! of the announcement dawned on: other manufacturers it was con ceded that it was an exceptionally strategic move. ? ? ?

Premier Lenin?' has repeatedly I sir<ssed the desirability of attract-! ing back to Russia the 2.0^0,000 | Russians who have fled to other I countries and represent the cream j of Russian intelligence. The en- j gineers. scientists, bankers, teach-j ers and merchants are greatly! needed. Letts. Esthonians and Lithuan-j ?ans played a large pan in the business life of old Russia. They I have enjoyed the benefits of both ; Swedish and German culture. Many j of them are highly trained special-j ;<fs ami managers and directors of I various enterprises. But they have ncr.riy all bit disorganized Rus-J sia and taken up residence in the j rtf-v.' Baltic ftate.s Baltic merchants will not re-en-j ter trade in Russia for they lack! confidence in the Communist gov-1 ernment. Manufacturers are un-| willing to restrme their old work: under government concessions, j Even property-owners, or rather! fomer property-owners, arc unwil ling to take back their apartment j houses and hotels under the pro-; posed concession plan. Consequent- j ly the new economic policy is fall-1 ing far short of expectations. Free domestic trade is not en-] trrely free. The term is mislead-J ing. It is impossible for mer- I chants to ship goods at will on Rus- ! sian railways. Permits are requir- i ed for each shipment. It is diffi cult to get thes<\ The pilfering on rail lines is extensive. There is no insurance. It is largely through the goods carried by hand that markets in the great cities are supplied. Rail way men carry flour and sugar1 from the Vkraine to eke out an i existence. It brings a better price! in Moscow and Petrograd. Meat is also carried to the cities by rail way employes and regular dealers who employ carriers. Lenine's insistence that the gov ernment must win the confidence and support of the intelligent class es is generally regarded as a prep aration for further movements to the right in governmental policies | as/ soon as it is possible to make j them without disrupting the Com- 1 munist party utterly. The Qbmmunist party is rapidly becoming a party in the sense that the United States and England have parties. Its important lead ers show daily signs of making fur.ther concessions to the hostile majority which will have nothing to do with Communist principles, or half-Communist schemes, such as the concession plan of letting factories to old owners. The building up of the Far East ern Republic at Chita under Bol shevist domination, but with gen eral elections and right of private property, is looked upon in Rus sia as an indication of revised policies which will eventually be | adopted in European Russia.

The Football Scandals Eight Leading Athletes of Notre Dame Men Are Dis ^ qualified South Bend. Ind.. dan. 30 < By the Associated JTess).?Leading athletes of Xotre Dame university, among them two ail-American foot ball players, a championship track man and captains of basketball and track reams, today confessed to school authorities that they had played in the semi-professional football game at Taylorville. 111.: last November which produced the biggest collegiate athletic scandal in the annals in American colleges. Immediate disqualification of each man was announced by the university officials. The men dis qualified were: Eddie Anderson. all-American end. Chester Wynne, star hurdler and track team captain.

Harry Mehre, substitute center in football and last year's captain of basketball. Robert Phelan, substitute var sity fullback. Earl Walsh, substitute varsity back. Dick Seyfrit. substitute end. The players made their state ments voluntarily. They insisted that they received no pay and said they agreed to take part in the con tests simply as a Thanksgiving hol iday lark and without knowledge that the affair was the outgrowth of town rivalry which became so acute that about $10(>.000 was said to have been bet on. the game.
