Dr. Koo of the Chinese dele- gation predicted that before tomorrow night a final and definite settlement couid be announced.

Balfour had been approved. “We made considerable progress on the basis suggested by our friends, Mr: sald. Pressed for details of the settlement, Dr. Koo said that he did not care to go into details as he thought the two medi- ators would want to make a statement afer tomorrow's meeting. He sald, how- ever, that the agreement thus far reach- ed provided for a managing director who would be Chinese and that the traffie manager and chief accountant “of what- ever nationality” would be subordinate te the managing director. It was under- stood, however, in con~rence circles that these two positions,/which were the chief obstacles to a settlement for so many weeks. would be filled by Japanese ex- perts.

Ruing on Ligor it | Bonded Warehouses| Cannot be Withdrawn by Owners for Personal Use— ~ Supreme Court Decision. Washington, Jan. 30.—Iintoxicating lquors, stored in government bonded Wwarehouses cannot be withdrawn by the owners for their own personal uge, the supreme court today held in a decision delivered by Justice McKenna, and dls- sented to by Justice McReynolds. Such liquor can only be transported from the bonded warehouses, Justicd McjCenna stated, “to a wholesale druggist for sale to him fof purposes not prohibited.” The court in a previous decision held that owners could withdraw from pri- vate warehouses liquor for their own consumption or for the use of their family or their bona fide guests. To- day’s ruling marks a wide distinction be- tween private and bonded warehouses. Justice McKenna on this point said that “mere ownership was not to equiva- lent” to possession and declared that, under the Volstead law, “there must be ownership, and possession in one's pri- vate dwelling, and that character can- not be assigned to the bonded ware- houses of the government.” The cases before ths court did not, he said, have the effect of depriving those who held warehouse certificates of their property without due process of law, nor did it amount, he added, to the taking of pri- vate property for public purposes Wwith- out just compensation. Referring to that part of the law prohibition amendment and the Volstead act, if applied to liquor manufactured and lawfully acquired efore the amend- ment and the law effective would be void, as taking from property its essen- tial attributes of the right to use It, pos- ses It and enjoy it, Justice McKenna stated that the court was “nqt dléposed to trace the elements of the contentions minutely” as they were all answered by the former decision of the court in the national prohibition cases. Referring to othat part of the law which permits one to use lawfully ob- tained lquor in Ks home, Justice Me- Kenna asserted this right cannot be con- strued to extend “to liquors mot so sit- uated or to put it more pointedly an in- tention to make all bonded warehouses of the country out-buildings of its dwellinge.” Declaring he had been in disagreement with the previous declslon of the court in holding that Houor in private fare- houses could be lawfully moved by own- ers to their residences for consump- tion, Jus vnolds asserted that if the doctrine laid down ¥ the court In that case was bgood, it would permit owners to withdraw liguor from bonded warehouses and he urged that unless the court took that vlew it should “frank- Iy withdraw its former decision. In the present cases liquor was entrusted to Zovernment warehouses as permitted by the statute, he said, but the owner “is denled the privileze of taking it home hecanse that warehouse is mot contrib- utory to his'dwellinz, nor an _adjunct thereto, nmor an -outbullding connectgd therewith." If those . bringing the present cases “held only suspected the remarkable power of the Forty Second strest (private warehouse) to attach itself to the dwell- ings of all patroms. without regard to distance,”. the fustice continued. refer- ring to the wri warehouse involved in the former decision helding liquors could - be transported, they “might have chosen .a safer course” He pointed out that the liauor was stored where the statute sald it might be stored and add- ed that now the supreme court announc- ed there ‘is “no analogy” between the “lonely”. barrels of whiskey in the pres- ent cases and the many “bottles, barrels casks and cases, which within more fa- vored walls await the pleasure of the owner” in the private warshouse. The decislon grew out of a consoll- dation of four cases, all brousht against internal revenue collectors to compel them .to permit the withdrawal of the Hquor. Those brought by Charles Cor- nell and George J. Ghio, came from St. Louls, Walter A. Eastes from Kansas City, Mo., and Willlam K. Brvan, from Baltimors In each case the declsion was against the owner of the warehouse certificates. Cornell purchased stored in bond in the spring of 1917, prior to the ratification of the 18th amendment ; Bryan bought on October 2, 1919, prior to the effective date of the Volstead act: Ghlo obtained his on February 28 1920, after the amendment and the Volstead act had be- come effective. Fastes dates his owner- ship from August 24, 1917. ELEVEN OF CREW OF THE STEAMER MOD ARE MISSING St. John, N. B.
