PROHIBITION LAW.
FURTHER LEGISLATION LIKELY

The New York Times’ Washington correspondent says the anti-prohibition forces were at first inclined to take too much satisfaction from the Supremo Court decision, pointing out that American and foreign vessels could take on liquors at some port of call, and leave them on entering or departing from American territorial waters. The prohibition forces, however, aside from indicating this would take so many vessels out of their way, asserted that legislation would be introduced during the coming session of Congress forbidding vessels on the American registry from carrying liquors at any time. The Shipping Board furthermore announced that Government-owned vessels will continue dry irrespective of the Court’s decision.’
