ATTACK ON REED WET BILL PUT IN HOUSE. | | Would Repeal Volstead Law and Man Pays Penalty RUM SEIZURE CASE REVIEW 15 FOUGHT U. S. Opposing British Crew’s Efforts to Exclude Evi- ‘ dence of Conspiracy. Br the Associated Pres Unusual interest is being taken by the Department of Justice in the case of the British ship Quadra, seized off | Ran Francisco, which may involve a | construction by the Suprems Court | of the legality of many American rum seizures under the treaty with Great Rritain. Members of the crew of the Quadra | lost in the lower courts and are neeking & Supreme Court review of the case. This review 1s} opposed by the Government, which contends there is no substantial ques- | tion of law involved requiring con- | struction of the treaty by the court Capt. Ford and the first and sec ond officers of the ship and several members of the crew were arrested At the time of the seizure and con. | victed of violating the American pro- | hibition law. In the lower courts | they unsuccessfully raised the legal question that the vessel was - heyond the territorial limits of the Uhited | States and that Great Britain had no right to authorize seizure of her ves- xeln beyond the three-mile limits, such an act being a_waiver of the rights guaranteed by Magna Charta. Ax the Department of Justice sees it the whole case. If a review is xranted, would involve the question whether evidence obtained by the selzure of the ship should have been excipded at the trial because the seizure was illegal, and whether the officers and crew of the Quadra should have been released hecause they were brought within the jurisdiction of the court as a result of an illegal seizure. The Government is contending that there wera many facts in the case, in rendent of the question whether the ship was within or outside the treaty limits, which disclosed a conspiracy to violate the American law. The lower courts, it holds, decided the vessel was less than 6 miles from shore, which was easily within the hour's sailing distance specified in the treaty. BUYS ARMS OF U. S. FIRM.
