His decision was based on the
broad principle that such an amend
ment could be ratified only by con
stitutional conventions and not by the
state legislatures.
The immediate effect of the de
cision, Judge Clark explained, would
be in New Jersey, where any arrests
made for the retail of : intoxicants j
would have to be made under the (
state enforcement act pending ap-j
peal of his decision.
Some apprehension was expressed
by high Washington officials over the
effect upon prohibition prosecutions
of the decision handed down by Judge
William Clark.

ment to be considered is one design- I
ed to transfer to the United States
powers previously vested in the
states the convention method must be
followed. This, he held, arose from
the character of such amendments '
and "from the character of the dele
gates to and deliberations in a con
stitutional convention as compared
with the corresponding character of
the personnel of state legislatures
and their deliberations.
Judge- Clark reached his decision
afer exhaustive delving into con
stitutional history and into the in
timate history of framers of the fed
eral constitution,
In one part of the justice depart
ment assurance was given that the
decision would have no- effect upon
the actual status of national prom
bition unless the case was upheld by
the supreme court. It was pointed
out also that the highest tribunal al
ready 1 had passed upon 1 various
phases of the amendment's ratifica
tion and held it legal. From another
quarter of the department, however,
it was said enforcement conditions in
New Jersey might be seriously af
fected,
Deer Lock Horns; One

woodsmen have been fortunate to be
