British to Fight U.S.Dry Edict Steamship Companies Meet to Oppose Ruling—Daugherty Plans \ igorous Dri\ e. I .on don, May ?.—British lrans-At lanlic steamer ilnes, barked by all the companies on tile continent, will fight tile dry ruling of the I nitrd Mates supreme court to a finish. Directors of the While Star, the Cunard. and other British lines met M Liverpool today to consider what action ran he taken to nollify the ef forts of the decision Washington. May 2.—Vigorous en forcement of the supreme court de cision which prohibits liquor on all ships within American waters was promised by Attorney General Daugherty today. He declared that at the end of 30 days, when the court mandate be comes effective, the government will have set up the machinery to keep liquor away from iht United States. In a formal statement, the attor ney general declared that lie is grat ified that the supreme court has so carefully and clearlyy decided the contested questions that have been causing great controversy. Decision Is Helpful. Mr. Daugherty said that tlie de cision is particularly helpful in in terpreting "transportation" and “im portation." lie says it is no longer necessary to transport for hire, but merely to carry liquor from one point to another. On importation, the mere crossing of the international boundary is sufficient. This lie con tends will stop British ships running within the three-mile limit when go ing from the Bahamas to Canada. The government is frankly baffled, it .was stated, and must move with 1 grr .t caution In the face of domestic C J international issues that never before have been presented. While the treasury worked out a means of guaranteeing that liquor on sovereign or Amercian ships is dumped when United States waters are reached, the Department of Justice made a careful study of the legal as peets of the decision and just how far i he government can proceed. Problems for Solution. These problems are presented for solution: 1. If the government is forced to operate the shipping board vessels, will the president defy tiie Antisalomi league and lift the ban on liquor? 2. Will the law permit embassies to receive liquor shipments as in the past? 3. How to find means of satisfy ing foreign governments whoso laws require that liquor lie kept on board ships even in foreign ports. 4. What can he done to combat tiie rum-smuggling fleet, the opera tion of which is legalized outside tin three-mile limit? b. What legislation will be re , qulred to adjust the situation when congress meets? Lincoln Woman.
