of New York. They were of the!
opinion the 1Mb. amendment was!
unconstitutional and Spraguc's case :
gave them an opportunity to test (
that belief.
The case was argued before
Judge (.'lark. His opinion, hand
ed down December 111, was an ex
haustive, treatise, sprinkled With
hundreds of references to works
on government, going hack t
maxims of t'onfucius ami coining!
down the line to such recent books;
as Heard's "American leviathan." j
It referred to scores- of decis

in substance held the ISth amend

by ennvenliony called for ratifica

Itoth methods are provided fur
by the constitution and all the

eminent. A power originally re-j
mined, he held, must be trans-1
f erred by conventions.
On two previous occasions the!
supreme eourt has ruled the ISthi

Here's Summary of Dry
Committee Conclusions
With Recommendations
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-rWP
The law enforcement commission
summarized its prohibition report
ns follows;
"Conclusions and recommenda
tions In the report on the enforce
ment of the prohibition lawn of
the L'nited States:
"1. The commission Is opposed
to repeal of the 18th amendment.
"2. The commission is opposed j
to the restoration in any manner j
of the legalized saloon.
"J. The commission is opposed!
to the federal or state govern- j
litems, as such, going into the
liuiior buwincsH.
"4. The commission is opposed
to the proposal to modify the na
tional prohibition act so us to
permit manufacture and sale of
light wines or beer.
"5. The commission is of opin
ion that the cooperation of the
states is an essential element in
enforcement of the ISth amend
ment and the national prohibition
act throughout the territory of the
l'nited States; that the support of
public opinion in the several
states Is necessary in order to in
sure such co-operation.
"li. The commission It of opin
ion that prior to the enactment
of the bureau of prohibition act.
Hi 1 7 , the a gencies for en f orce
ment were badly organized nnd
inadequate ; that subsequent to

continued Improvement in organi
zation and effort for enforcement.
"7. The commission Is of opin
ion that there is yet no adequate
observance or enforcement.
"S. The commission is of opin
ion that the present organization
for enforcement still is inadequate.
"II. The commission Is of opin
ion that the federal appropriations
for the enforcement of the ISth
amendment should be substan
tially increased and that the vig
orous and better organized efforts

should be furthered by certain
improvements in the statu tee and
in the organization, personnel nnd
equipment of enforcement, so as
to give to enforcement the great
est practicable efficiency.
' 10. Some of the commission
are not convinced that prohibition
under the 1 sth amendment is un
enforceable and believe that a fur
ther triai should be mnde with
the help of the recommended im
provements, and that if after such
trial effective enforcement Is not
secured there should bo a revision
of the amendment. Others of the
commission are eonvineed that it
has been demonstrated that pro
hibition under the 18ih amend
ment Is unenforceable and - that

diately revised, but recognizing
