LIQUOR ON SHIPS.
AMERICAN COURT’S DECREE By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received May 1, 11.10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, April 30. The Supreme Court has upheld the Daugherty ruling, under the prohibition amendment, that foreign ships cannot bring liquor within the three mile limit even as sea stores, thus upsetting the Federal Court injunctions. Simultaneously the Court upheld the Daugherty ruling that there was nothing in the prohibition amendment preventing American ships from carrying liquor its foreign waters. The Supreme Court decision was made on appeals from Lower Court decisions in the first instance by Daugnerty and in the second instance by American shipping companies. The Court’s ruling is based on the decision that the prohibition amendment is only applicable to physical territory under United States sovereignty. The control of foreign and American shipping is thus placed on an equal footing, neither being allowed to bring liquor within the three-mile limit, but both are able to carry it outside.
