THE MORNING OltEGONIAN, TTJESDAT, NOVEMBER 9, 1920 3 I0U0R IS PEHMnTED OUTSIDE OF HOMES U. S. Court Rules Wet Goods May Be Moved. TEST CASES ANTICIPATED Justice Clarke Holds Transporta tion of Lawfully Acquired Liquor Not Illegal. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. (By the Associated Press.) Storage of law fully acquired liquor In commercial warehouses and transportation . of such stocks to the home of the owner Is not prohibited by the Volstead act under a decision handed down today by the supreme court. In passing upon the appeal of Will lam G. Street of New York from de cisions of lower courts refusing to enjoin Internal revenue officials from seizing liquors he had placed In a room rented from a safe deposit com pany, the supreme court reversed the lower court and held that the injunc tions should be granted. The effect of this ruling had not been fully appraised tonight by In ternal revenue and prohibition en forcement officials. The belief was expressed, however, that the result might be the release of some 10,000, 000 galons of Intoxicating beverages stored - in warehouses since January 16, 1920. Hotels Hold Stocks. Records on file here show that, in addition to immense quantities of liquors purchased and stored by indi vidual consumers, there were in stor age when the Volstead act became ef fective large stocks held by hotels and restaurants as reserves. Whether these stocks came within today's rul , ing has not been determined. It was anticipated that test cases would be filed soon on this and similar ques tions arising from the undetermined scope of the new interpretation of the Volstead act. j Justice Clark, who rendered the opinion today, held that the trans portation of liquor from warehouse storage to the owner's home would be legal, if the liquor had been law fully acquired and for a lawful pur pose. He said: "That transportation of the liquors ... is not such as is prohibited by the section Is too apparent to jus tify detailed consideration of the many provisions of the act incon sistent with a construction which would render such removal unlawful, and that the act is understood by the officers charged with it3 execution as permitting transportation is shown by the provision of the regulations of the bureau of internal revenue authorizing permits for the transpor tation of liquor from one permanent resideVce of an owner to another in the case of his removal, although no such transfer is provided for by the act." Power to Resrolnte Seen. The opinion pointed out, however, that Internal revenue officers un doubtedly had the administrative power to regulate the transfer of such liquors so as to pi event their use in violation of the law. "An intention to confiscate private property," the opinion concluded, "even in intoxicating liquors will not be raised by inferics and construc tion from provision of law which have ample field for their operation in ef fecting a purpose clearly indicated and declared." Justice McReynolds, concurring in the judgment of the court, dissented as to the reasoning by which It was reached. "I think the Volstead act was prop erly Interpreted by the court below." he said, "but to enforce it as thus construed would result in virtual con fiscation of lawfully acquired liquors by preventing or unduly interfering with their consumption by the owner. The 18th amendment gave no such power to congress. Manufacture, sale and transportation are the things pro hibited not personal use." Prohibition enforcement officials began studying the decision immedi ately. The opinion was frankly ex pressed that many changes would have to be made in the enforcement regulations, but pending detailed study and the circumstances sur rounding! the litigation, no official statement was forthcoming. Fraud Danger Kelt. One effect of the decision foreseen was the danger of increased oppor tunity for fraud among persons seek ing means of violating the law. With out check on transportation provided by the permit system, officials in dicated that they expected greater difficulty ia controlling unlawful sales. A decision had not ' ben reported tonight as to whether the court's Interpretation opens the way for un restricted transportation in inter state commerce. That transfer can be made within a state apparently was specific, but the language of the court when analyzed may yet show, officials thought, means whereby in terstate transportation can be stopped. In the particular case In volved. It was pointed out, the own er's residence and the place of stor age were within the same state, and. In fact, in the same city. In connection with the transporta tion of liquors, officials said that it would be difficult, if not impossible, for them to determine the legality of purchases and ' where the stored stocks had been obtained prior to the effective date of the Volstead act. This was expected to result in more stringent regulations with re spect to withdrawals of beverages from bonded warehouses, but the same regulations cannot be made to apply to ordinary storage ware houses. Stored stocks therefore again are without the law to a great de gree, officials said, adding that they anticipated its speedy removal from such storage. ILLINOIS IS NOT AFFECTED Search and Seizure Law Does Xot Permit Liquor Moving. CHICAGO. Nov. 8. The supreme court's ruling that liquor lawfully acquired can be moved from place to place will not affect the legality of th Illinois search-and-seizure law. This act prohibits the practice of moving of liquor, federal officials here said today. SURPLUS SUPPLIES SOLD (Continued From First Paire.) that negotiations were under -way. Jack Barde, son of M. Barde, has been in the east for several weeks repre senting the Barde interests In the dealings with the board. L. B. Barde, another son. now in Seattle, is said to be in possession of all details. "I have received no official word of the completion! of this transaction," Mr. Hunter said last night, "though from several telegrams I have v re ceived I presumed that some such ar rangement was being made." When pressed for an opinion on the deal, as reported by the Associated Press, Mr. Miller said be considered an arrangement that would guaran tee the fleet corporation 60 per cent of the appraised valuation of the property within a year a thoroughly satisfactory deal, provided the fleet corporation was -relieved of all- over head and general expense connected with the disposal of the property. The appraisal of $13,000,000, given in the telegraphic dispatch, he con sidered rather high, unless the .hulls were included.' Otherwise, he said, he would place the value of the entire property at between $8,000,000 and $12,000,000. , The history of the deal between the Barde Interests and the shipping board, dates back to late September, when orders were issued from Wash ington by H. B. Miller, director of the supply and sales division, to discon tinue the sale of shipping board ma terial in small lots. A short time later Mr. Miller appeared from San Francisco and it was reported that a deal had been consummated there whereby Sudden & Christenson, steamship owners and operators, and the Barde Industrial company, both of these concerns backed by Herbert Fleishhacker, president of the Anglo & London Paris National bank of San Francisco, were to acquire all the property held by the supply and sales division on the Pacific coast. Following his arrival In Portland, Mr. Miller asked for bids on the en tire lot of property, and a storm of protest was raised by local junk deal ers, backed by Senator Chamberlain, who said they had not had a fair opportunity to bid on the property and had not been able to obtain prop er inventories and appraisals. The opening of bids, therefore, was post poned until October 15. at which time four scattering bids were re ceived, the largest offering 25 per cent of the appraised valuation, and none of them embracing the entire lot of material on the coast. A few days later, following Mr. Miller's return to Washington, it was announced from the national capital that all these bids had been rejected, and it was understood that Mr. Miller would try to negotiate anot'-er ar rangement for a private sale of the property. The material to be sold by the Barde concern under the arrangement just completed, is grouped in fleet corporation concentration warehouses at Portland, Alameda and Tacoma. It could not be learned locally last night whether the Bardes are to sell the wooden hulls remaining on the Pacific coast. - It is expected that local interests which opposed the first arrangement made by Miller for the sale of this property to the Bardes will find in this latest development a substan tiation of their charge that the Bardes were shown favoritism by the ship ping board, especially as an offer from Portland junk dealers to sell the material on a guarantee to the fleet corporation of 85 per cent of the ap praised valuation of the property, in stead of the 50 per cent guaranteed by the Bardes, was rejected by Miller. ESTATE FIGHTNEAR END $900,000 Grand Larceny May Be Settled Out of Court. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8. Negotia tions are being conducted for settle ment out of court of the $900,000 grand larceny action instituted by Edward and" Katherine Wineman of San Luis Obispo against Clarence D. Hillman, Seattle and Pasadena capi talist, and others, counsel for the Winemans announced here today. The case came up today for hearing, but was put over until Wednesday to permit the negotiations reaching a conclusion. H'llman K. McKay of Seattle and T. J. Walsh were indicted on charges of conspiracy and grand larceny, fol lowing formal complaints by the Winemans that they had obtained possession through illegal means of the bulk of the Wineman estate, valued at nearly $1,000,000. Walsh has never been located. HOME RULE CLAUSES , PROTESTED BY IRISH Measure Is Put Through Nearly Final Stages. SECOND CHAMBERS CARRY New York to Release Liquor. NEW YORK. Nov. 8.

(By the Asso ciated Press.) The Irish home rule bill passed through nearly the final stage in the house of commons to night with two new clauses added by the government, which, In the opin ion of Irish and liberal politicians, rendered the measure practically dead. These clauses, which provide that both Irish parliaments shall estab lish second chambers for the protec tion of minorities, and that in the event that less than half the mem bers of either parliament are validly elected or In case of failure to take the oath of allegiance within 14 days, the king may dissolve the parliament and place the government in the hands of a committee appointed by the lord lieutenant, were carried after being severely criticised by ex-Pre-mier Asquith and others as tending to reduce Ireland to the condition of a backward crown colony, by ample majorities in a small house, showing the slight interest now shown in the bill. Oath of Allegiance Dropped. The latter clause replaces the pro posal of the government that candi dates for parliament must take the oath of allegiance on nomination. The bill came before the committee of the whole house. The clause pro viding for the creation of second chambers was adopted by 175 to 31. It leaves to the Irish parliaments the uty of framing the necessary scheme. The government originally had proposed itself to draft the scheme, and was today subject to much hostile criticism for evading the task. The government's critics declared that the Irish parliament would not succeed in drafting a successful scheme. Andrew Bonar Law, the govern ment leader in the house, and Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, minister of pensions, replying to the criticism. explained there were difficulties in the way of the English parliament at tempting the task. Another amendment was adopted placing upon the southern parliament the responsibility for providing funds for Irish universities. Legislative Abnardity, Says Cecil. The government's early proposal that, all candidates for election to the Irish parliaments must take the oath of allegiance before being nominated, which has provoked more criticism Irom irishmen and trie iiDerais than any other provision, has been quietly dropped, and today Worthington-Evans, on behalf of the government, moved the new clause to replace it and provide for the case of either Irish parliament not being properly constituted. Lord Hugh Cecil criticised the clause as the greatest legislative ab surdity ever suggested. Mr. Asquith said the clause forcibly illustrated the farcical character of the southern parliament. The contingency con templated, he asserted, was certain to arise in southern Ireland, which then would be reduced to the condition of the most backward of the crown col onies. This clause was carried by 137 to 11. The measure has run the gauntlet of the house of lords, where, accord ing to rumors current in the coalition newspapers, an attempt will be made to cut the six Ulster counties com pletely out of the bill, leaving them to be administered, as at present, from Westminster.
