Judge Clark ruled that only by Constitutional Con- ventions, and not by State Legislatures, can such amend- ments, which transfer to the United States powers hereto- fore reserved to the States, be ratified. The only immediate effect of Judge Clark’s decision will be in New Jersey, it is said. Any s for retail sale »f intoxicants in the State will have to be made under the State’s Prohibition En- forcement Act, pending ap- peal which would stay the ef- fect of the decision until it can be ruled on by a high- er court. The ruling of Judge Clark will be effective only in those States where United States District Court Judges concur in his findings. The validity and the manner of the Prohibition Amendment adop- tion was tested before Judge Clark by a group of attorneys, and after two years of study. The group of attorneys represented William Sprague who was indicted for transporting beer. Judge Clark’s decision the indictment. « quashed JERSEY OFFICIAL ACTS WASHINGTON, D. C.
