that no ship, American or forcin'

scaled under bond. The court over
turned n previous ruling of At-
tornev General Daugherty and held
that American slilps are free to
carry liquor when outside the ter
ritorial waters, though It conceded
congress the right to regulate thla
traffic, or to suppress It altogether.
The prospeats are that congress
will enact a law suppressing It and
maklnlg American ships bone dry

of tho three-mile zone. Wrys set
about rounding up their forces to
