J Bootlegging engaged the attention of the Supreme Court yesterday, the Government insisting upon its right to confiscate, under old taxing laws, automobiles seized while being used in the illegal transportation of liquor. So perplexed was the court after the ques! iast term, that it ordered reargument of the issue which came up in two cases—one from Alabama, where the Government lost, and the other from the State of Washington, where the Circuit Court of Appeals asked for instructions. The question among other things involves automobiles be- ing sold on the instaliment plan. The Government contends the tax upon manufacture of liquor by the revised statutes, in effect long before national prohibition, applied to moon- shine whi and that automobiles used in {ts sportation were auto- matically forfeited. It was argued on the other side that a tax could not be imposed upon something t vas prohibited, being intended exclusively for the raising of revenue, and further that auto- mobiles seized in violation of the prohibition law must be disposed of under the terms of that law.

S. Boats Over 12 Miles Out Before Supreme Court. The Department of Justice desires determination by the Supreme Court of the United States on the question of whether the United States Coast Guard has power to search and seize An American vessel more than 12 milés out for smuggling, it was indi- cated last night. A _memorandum has been filed in the Supreme Court, it was announced, stating that no opposition will be made to the granting of a writ of certiorari petitioned for by Arthur Maul, owner of the American vessel Underwriter, which was selged 35 miles off the coast. In the case of the Underwriter, the Ve NG: lower court decided against the right of seizure, but the Circult Court of Appeals reversed the decision. Maul now asks the Supreme Court to re- view the case. The department. in its memoran- dum to the Supreme Court, states that the question raised by the pe- titioner {s important in itself, and that substantially the same question pre- sented in the petition is involved in other cases now pending, or which have been decided in Circuit Court of Appeals. In view of these conflicting decisions the department believes the Supreme Court should determine the matter. Naming of Street to Wait.
