PROHIBITION VICTORY
SUPREME COURT DECISION,
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright
{Received this dav at 1.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, June ( 7. The last hope of the wets has hecn destroyed by the decision of United States Supreme Court, upholding constitutional prohibition. The decision means the Volstead Act prohibiting the sale of any beverage containing one half of one per cent or more alcohol, must be 'enforced in every State, regardless of whether That State individually ratified the amendments to the State laws, allowing alcoholic contents as enacted in New Jersey, > Wisconsin, Rhode Island. 1 Thp nullified decision dispels the hope of the brewing interests that their property c ould manufacture light beers and wines. The result is regarded a.s a
complete victory for prohibition forces and the settling for all time of the P*? question of the legality of the Volstead amendment. *
