Transporta tion of intoxicating liquors for bever age purposes through a dry State is not prohibited under the Keed amend ment, ths Supreme Court held today in an opinion interpreting' that act.

C., the Federal district court dismissed tbe indictment against' him holding in- ef fect that although carried across a State, intoxicants are not "transported into" the State if their ultimate des tination is a point beyond the limits of that State. , Opinion 1 nahlmoua. The court in an unanimous opinion rendered by Chief Justice White held that there was no ground for holding "that the prohibition of the statute against transporting liquor in inter state commerce 'into any State or Ter ritory the Jaws .of which prohibit the manufacture,' etc., includes the move ment in interstate commerce through such a State into another. No elucida tion of the text," aaid the Chief Jus tice, "ia needed to -add cogency to this plain meaning which would, however, be reinforced by the context if there were need to resort to it, since the con text makes clear that the word 'into' as used in the statute referred to the State of destination and not the means by which that end is reached, the move ment through; one State as a mere in cident of transportation to the State iuto which it is shipped. This Snggestioa "Wlthost Merit." ' "The suggestion made in arguments that although the personal carriage of liquor through one State as a means ot 1 carrying it beyond into another State violates the statute, it does not neces sarily follow that transportation . by common carrier through a State for a like purpose would bo such violation, because of the more fasile opportunity ia the one case than ia the other for violating the law of ths Stats through which, the liquor is carried, is without merit. In the last analysis it but in vites not a construction of the statute as enacted, but an enactment by con struction of a new and different sta tute." E ' Ruling By FOUrth ASSt. P.

Rural free de livery carriers in North Carolina who prescribe a pnrtieulnr type of lock and key for the farmer'a mail box cannot enforce their standard if patrons make other selections. Fourth Assistant Post master General James I. Blakesleo has ruled that as long as the carrier is fur nished a key the patron can use a Yale lock or any other double-barreled forti fication against would bs intruders. A farmer residing on a rural free de livery route in Guilford eounty, in ths vicinity of Climax, conducts a business that yields him wads of money that are placed in his mail box. To fortify his earnings agninst tramps and para sites of society he told the mail carrier that he desired to nse a Yale lock. The eoiplpye of Uncle Sam objected, be cause the lock and key have been, large ly discarded as an accommodation to the letter carrier who found it trouble some to lock snd unlock the box at the farmer'a gate.
