The decision of Federal Judge Wil liam Clark, of* Newark, that the amendment was. improperly ratified by legialataiea was reversed by the highest court of the land. The court, speaking through its ju nior justice, Owen J. Roberts, reit erated wbst it said in 1920: That "the amendment, by lawful propose! and ratification, has become a part of the Constitution." This time the court did what it did not do in the famous 1920 prohibition cases ; it explained why Congress was right in proposing that the Eighteenth Amendment be put up to state legis latures instead of special state con ventions for ratification. Roberts, in a: 1,500-word opinion which ha recited from memory to a crowded court room, held the view that the Iramers of the Constitution were experts at expressing their in tentions. In drafting the Fifth, or a mending article of the Coustitstion, they said plainly that Congress was the sole judge of how amendments should be ratified. Hence, even though individual rights of the citizens are affected as in this amendment, Cong ress is still the arbiter, Roberts ruled. . Other amendments touching on indi vidual rights, he said, have been sim ilarly acted upon by legislatures. This decision was interpreted by lsywers ss ending any attempt to break down prohibition through le gal process. " ' nnv npnd OCYVlml ai imim m+s, ? y ?? ing before- federal courts, bat tlfis decision will be * precedent, it is be ttered,, for rejecting any further ap peals fee Supreme Court reviews.

Other factions and enforce ment .methods have been, sustained al most uniformly ha some 100-odd cases appealed to the Supreme Co^gdur* Directlyv this decision has the ef fect of an indictment char g ing William A. Sprague, Wantage Township, N. clerk, and William M. Howey, a farmer, with beer-run ning. They will now have to stand ?y?fi Judge Clark, in his decision last fall, held the indictment was void be cause the amendment was void. In general, the "decision is a com plete victory for the government, which, through Attorney General Wil liam D. Mitchell* made s direct at tack on Clark's ruling. Appealing the decision to the Supreme Court, Mitch ell's legal experts defended the amend rtont, expressed fear that the decis ion would hamper enforcement and asked for s quick ruling. In another prohibition case, the Su preme Court surprised many by re versiag sentences of two men under ther Jooes "Five and Ten" law. But the dcridon involved no attack on the drastic penalty law. The court in an opinion by Justice Harlan Fiske Stine, ruled that Sichard Husty and Charles Laurel, Grand Rapids, Mich., were improperly sentenced under tire Jones set to long sentences. The indictment charged they possessed liquor. The Jones acts covers transportation and manufacture, but not possession of liquor. Then the court ruled in a third pro hibition case that brewers and dis tillers could deduct from their income taxes for the years since prohibition effective, the amount of de predation from "obsolenscene" of ma chinery and plants caused by dry laws. The government's ? enforcement methods were rebuffed a third time in a further ease from New Orleans, involving the practice, said to be com mon, of inflicting liquor law tax pen alties on persona convicted at viola ting the Volstead Act. A decision by a New (Means federal court, holding il legal la attempt to impose such taxes on Anthony La Franca, restaurant proprietor, was affirmed by the court.

The occupants of the cars, pursued by guards in two automobiles, drove rapidly toward Chicago, and escaped, apparently untouched by shots fired at them as they fled. Joseph Noririewicx, 31, and Julio Chikno, 39, both serving time for a confidence game, and Alvin J. Kil man, 34, a convicted robber, were the men killed. They were part of a kit chen detail of five convicts. Overpow ering Frank Lambert, a lone guard, who was -with them in the recfectory house, they, thrust him into a refrige rator and slammed the door, about 8 a. m. 'V A Using large sticks taken from an adjoining-bakery, and nails smuggled fromtlj prison machine shop the plotters constructed ? crude ladder which they harried across the prison yard to. the southeast corner. Here they placed the ladder against a tool shed and barber shop and mounted to the roof, clamping a caple, also taken from the machine shop, onto an abutt ing wall. *" Norkiewics, a 10-year' man, was the first to dimb down. The guar 3, in a restaurant across the street and in an automobile parked in a vacant lot nearby, waited. Chileno, who had "done time" in jails at Paterson, N. J., and Trenton, N. J, Baltimore and Flint, Mich., followed the leader. Still the guards withheld their fire. Then began his descent and the order shoot came. the fire, falling near his leader. Kfl man, his hands still entwined about the cable, ran into the fire of the sec ond ambush. He died later in the pris on hospital. The other two of the five scamper ed back inside to safety. WOULD CHEAPEN TAX LAND SALES y Committee Bfll Makes $10 Limit On Attorney's Fees; Change Other Provisions Raleigh, Feb. 26th-?The bill drawn by a sub-committee of House Judiciary No. 1 revising tax foreclosure pro cedure was reported favorably to the House last night, Chairman 0. B. Moss explaining that it was a substitute for House Bill 25, but represented the result of study of a number of bills on the same subject. Principally, it would reduce attor- , ney's fees and court costs in fore closures from 50 to 75 per cent, and, by a change in form, reduce cost of advertising notices approximately two-thirds. Attorney's fees and costs would be limited to a maximum of $10 to be paid into the general fund of the courts, County Commissioners being authorised to pay a flat salary for legal service. I The bill would cut interest for the first year from 12 to 10 per cent, and gives coqnty commissioners the right I to hold in abeyance present tax fore closure until December 1| 1931. - It also would extend .the time for ; foreclosure to from 16 to 24 months, instead 14 to 18 months as at present. Notice of lifcn would" [have to. be filed with register of deeds by the ' holder, who would p?y costs of notification. Record all land tax sales would be kept on file by the register of deeds.

"V ? Washington, Fob. 24.?The meeting <t the Democratic National Commit ee here March ^probably will be barked by a dinner at which the pro ibition issue can be talked over rankly. There has been .. consideration mong party managers as to the ad isability of making the dinner dis uasion a public one, witb a radio 'roadcast- participated in by spokes* aen on different sides of the prohibi ten question. But so far as could be earned tonight, no decision on thin "dnt has been reached. Invitations ave not been issued, it was said at democratic headquarters, and none till be until the exact nature of the inner has been decided upon. As reported by the United Press ist week, opposition of dry spokes men in the party has discouraged opes of those party leaders headed y John J. Raskob, national chairman rho wished for a definite pronounce ment on prohibition by the national oanmittee. But this group still is con mced- that the prohibition issue bould be thoroughly aired while the ational committee is gathered here; ende the plan for a party dinner. The usual practice is to keep later al differences pent up until they urst open in the strife of a national onvention. Many have counseled thin ourse at present Raskob and Jouett house, chairman of the Democratic ational executive committee, are un erstood to feel that thorough airfny f differences now would not only erve as a Bafety valve, bot might dis lose a trend of opinion wiiich would :ad to .a more harmonious adjust lent between anti-prohibitionists and rys than could be obtained! in the ex ited baste of a national convention.

If such an appeal f' v it probably will come from who is from dry Tfmrss. a tede his prolonged fight for the Pres lential nomination in 1924. While house worked in the Smith organiza on in 1928, he is less linked in the ublic mind with the former Presiden al candidate than is Raskob.

IATS&LESPEDEZA GOOD HAY CROPS farmers Must Grow Feed For Livestock Or Go In Defot, Says Expert. For an early hay crop, oats are best > plant at this season of the year ad if leapedeza is seeded on the oats second hay crop may be gathered ?ora the same land this fall. "It isj.an economic impossibility to ay feddi for livestock with money om low priced cash crops and not i deeper in debt at the end of the sason," says P. H. Kime, agronomist ' the North Carolina Experiment tation at State College. "Early >ring hay crops should be planted to irnish feed for the summer months id'fall hay crops should be planned >r at this time. These should be anted on good land and fertilized." In planting spring oats, it is neces iry to prepare the land well, ferti le it and seed the oats at the rate of ; least three bushels to the acre. The dghum variety is best for spring teding. Feed oats are unfit for plant g. They are usually northern grown id unsuited to southern conditions, lie earlier the oats are sown, the :tter, and in the coastal section the anting date should be about the rst of March. Lespedeza, says Mr. Kime, may be anted on the oats without any extra reparation using one to one and one* ilf bushels an acre. The seed are nrered lightly with a harrow or may ? put in with a drill. The Tennessee [ and Kobe varieties make somewhat itter yields of hay than the Common lithe seed are more expensive. The ammon variety will make a good hay op on fairly fertile soils and the ily labor or expense is to dip the fed* once or twice during the earn er.
