The government appealed directly
from the ruling to the supreme court
and urged that tribunal to expedite
its decision, pointing out the pend-

of the prohibition law must be dts-

North Carolina court was correct.
The decision was handed down by
Chief Justice Hughes.
It covers not only persons indicted
but will, require, the court stated,
dropping of further proceedings in
federal cases where persons have been
convicted but have taken appeals
which now are pending.
All such defendants, those await-
ing trial as well as those with their
cases up on appeal, must be dis-
charged, the court said.

, NEW YORK, Feb. 5.—(A)—Bullish speculation kept
principal security and commodity markets churning Mon-
day. Scores of stocks and bonds registered new highs for
the past two years or longer.
W heat futures at Chicago pushed up a cent a bushel in
the early dealings, but closed only half a cent higher. Cotton
at New York advanced 75 cents a bale but closed only 25
cents up. Rubber, hide, copper and silk futures were also
higher in New York.
Advances in the New York stock exchange ranged from
JI to more than $3 a share in many leading issues, and
trading facilities were again overwhelmed. The ticker was
a few minutes behind during the earlier hours, and the
turnover was at a rat of more than 1,000,000 shares an
hour.

and such from stories concerning the
visit of Robert M. Hutchins, president
of the University of Chicago, to Okla-

Dr. Hutchins is now 34 years old
He has been president of the Chicago
institution for several years and has
demonstrated his fitness.
There might have been some justi-

decision long ago. but the novelty has
worn off, more young men have come
to power. Professors under 30 are

Out All Penalties For

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.
—(P)—The supreme court
ruled Monday persons
charged with violating the
national prohibition law be-
fore its repeal cannot be
tried for such offenses in the
federal courts.
The case was brought by the Unit-
ed States as a test to determine its
policy regarding the thousands of
prohibition cases now pending in fed-
eral courts.
The government appealed from a
decision by Federal Judge Hayes -of
the middle district of North Carolina
directing the discharge of Byrum Gib-
son and Claude Chambers on the
ground that prohibition repeal pre-
vented further prosecution.
Indictments Are Dismissed
On Dec 6, 1933, the North Caroli-
na court dismissed indictments against
Gibson and Chambers. charging them
with conspiracy to violate the federal
prohibition law, and with' specific vi-
olations of that law.
The government charged that both
had been convicted previously of sim-
ilar offenses Chambers had entered
a plea of guilty, but counsel for both
men contended that as the prohibition
amendment had been repealed the
court was without jurisdiction to pro-
ceed with the trial.

Meanwhile the senate, smarting
under defiance of its will by witnesses
in the investigation of air and ocean
mail contracts of the Hoover adminis-
tration. relegated the Roosevelt pro-
gram to the background while It con-
sidered how to handle the challenge
to Its authority.
Chairman Black of the senate mall
contract investigating committee told
the senate the committee felt Walter
F. Brown, postmaster general in the
Hoover administration, violated the
law by participating in a 1930 con-
ference here to "divide up" air mall
routes, while he was a stockholder in
the Pennsylvania railroad.

tion it saw fit

tics sat in a private gallery under
guard of the sergeant-at-arms, Ches-
ley W. Jumey, Black reviewed the

week
MacCracken's appearance before the
bar of the senate to answer charges
of defying the committee in refusing
to produce his air mall records was
delayed until disposition of the other
cases.

vin. Washington representative of
Western Air Express, had Uken 47
