Arms Resolution Challenged in Supreme Court ruling
The constitutionality of the 1912 congressional resolution prohibiting shipments of arms to Mexico was challenged in the Supreme Court. John S. Talbert, convicted in El Paso in April 1912 for violating the proclamation by sending arms to Mexico, sought review arguing Congress could not confer legislative power on the executive. Leaf tobacco imported into France rose in the first eight months of the year to 60,000,000 pounds, up 18,000,000 from 1912.
