Seizure Case Denied as Judge Rules No Prohibition Violation
Federal Judge Knox refused to grant an order directing the U S attorney to seize all alcohol aboard the liner Neptune amid a challenge tied to the weathered Twenty amendment usage. The decision holds the action consistent with the Eighteenth Amendment and prohibition laws, likely prompting further appeals by the petitioner. In Wilmington Delaware heavy property damage and substantial losses were reported after a storm and cloudburst, with over 30 percent of homes uninhabitable and many businesses harmed. In Connecticut Yale won the intercollegiate golf title with a 424 stroke total, Dartmouth finishing second. West Virginia saw a jury convict a man of a terms violation tied to prohibition era enforcement, with a $100 fine imposed.
