Washington. D. C. Auir. 8. William
c - r
D. Guthrie and Klihu Root, counsel for
Christian Kcigenspan, a brewer of New
ark. N. J., to-day filed with the United
States supreme court, a petition for a
reconsideration oi the court s riei-ision
on June 7 sustaining the validity of
the lHth amendment and part of the
Volstead enforcement act. The peti
tion contended that the lHth "amend
ment was designed to deal exclusively
with intoxicating liquors. Mr. t"igen
span in his original suit sought to
prove that beer of 2.75 per cent alcohol
ic content is not intoxicating.
The latest petition pointed oat the.
imnortance and macnitude of he eon-
r... y -0
stitutional questions involved nnd de
clared that, so far as the petitioner
has been able to ascertain, "tlicru is
no record of any important modern
case involving siich vital questions' be
ing disposed of cy a court of final re
sort without explaining its conclusions.".
The brief continued: -
"Not onlv is it ouite unprecedented
in the history of this court for it thus
to dispose withont opinion of great
constitutional Questions, but. as em
phasized by Mr. Justice MeKcnna in his
dissenting opinion, it is uitneuit to
measure the force of the conclusions
stated by the court or the dedui-tions
properly to be drawn from them. Fur
thermore, the conclusions do not com
pletely answer questions actually in
volved in the litigation and submitted
for decision.
"As stated bv the learned chief jus
tice in his concurring opinion Mie court
was deciding a case of great magnitude
and nassinir upon 'an amendment to
the constitution of the United States
dealing with the powers and duties of
the national and state governments,
and intimately concerning the welfare
of the people."
The petition declared that the mean
ing and effect of such an amendment
was necessarily and "subject of'.lieciM-
lion and comment in the forum M pun
ic opinion and the failure of the court
:o assign anv reasons for its decision
has tended naturally to invite friti
cism and create much public :li.iatis
faction."
It seems, therefore," the -tetition
continued, "that it is not irrelevant
or improper to urge, in support of I
n ea for a rehearing that public i.pin
ion has doubted and challeneijed the
fitness of summarily deciding and fits
posing of a great constitutional ion
troversv involviiis vast property in

DEMOCRATS ARE
ARRIVING IN DAYTON
Ready forttho Ceremonies Saturday,
When Governor Cox Is Notified
of Nomination,
Dayton, O., Aug. 8.-r-Democratitfj
clans were gathering here to-day for
their great quadrennial event, the pre
sentation to-morrow to the American
electorate of a presidential nominee
Governor Cox of Ohio. N
All was ready for the governor's
formal notification of nomination by
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, who
presided over the Ban Francisco con
vention and the candidate's address of.
acceptance declaring the broad lines of
the campaign. .
With Governor Cox' address in type
for to-morrow afternoon's newspapers,
speculation increased to-day regarding
the brief, but important, Insert he has
announced will be forthcoming to-morrow.
The governor continued to hold
it a secret. (Speculation on its mes
sage "centered nrincinallv on thrt sub
jectsa possible challenge to Senator
Harding, his Republican opponent for
a joint debate on the league of na
tions; a specific statement on article
X of the league covenant, or a definite
announcement regarding the prohibi
tion issue.
Democratic leaders here seemed
agreed that the league undoubtedly
would be the great campaign battle
ground and awaited with keen inter
est the address of Governor Cox, which,
he has announced, will be so plain that
school children may understand it.
His promises for an aggressive and
offensive camoaicn carried personally
tj the people from coast to coast also
apparently round unanimous iav.or.
Besides the interests of himselt and
Frank D. Roosevelt, the vice-presiden
tial candidate, Governor Cox is plan
ning to carry with the national tick
et, a Democratic Congress.-
Iii this connection attention was di
r '! to the ffovernor's statement
yesterday expressing the expectation
that former President Taft would work
for Republican candidates for the Sen
ate, who favor the league.
The governor is scheduled to begin
to-morrows address about 3 o'clock,
several hours after newspaper publi
cation of his address in most localities.
The narade of visitinc delegations,
expected to aggregate about 1.1,000 is
to start ft the Montgomery county
fair GTOtindg aboit 1 o'clock.
Governor Cox declined to comment on
. ... I. J
a statement from Kepuoiican neaa
ouarters at Marion that free tickets
and expense money were being offered
to Marion citizens to attend the I'emo-
rratic celebration here to-morrow
K K. Golden, secretary of the Ohio
Democratic executive committee, said:
'The sort of publicity that is coming
out of Marion ia even below the ethics
of a eounty campaign. The delegation
from Marion will be Marion people-in
fact, pavinc their own expenses, and
I can understand that only its siie i

kvernor Cox has received word that
William G. MeAdoo and Attorney Gen

invitations, cannot, on account of urff

The ffirl was willinu to return with
her parents and said she would not

his age and said that he was 41 when
he is 44, and in his statements at the

Other Atrocious Thing at
Shoemen's Annual Outing.
One hundred and twenty-five repre
sentatives of the Vermont Shoe Retail
ers' linsocktion . were present at 1'ie
annual summer meeting and outing
held yesterday at he Woodstock fiiir
grounds; Woodstock. Jiarres repre
sentatives number 28. A good, old-
fashioned clambake was the feature
of the noon hour, following which was
a short musical concert, a few speeches.
and a hall game.
It was oricinallv intended for the
speaking to take place in the morn
ing, but the ilithciilty ot getting 'lie
neoole there in time from the distant
towns made this impossible, and the
time till the dinner hour was. spent
in dancing and riding the merry go-
round. The, dinner was as good a
as held at a sea shore,
the clams having been obtained fresh
from coast markets and served up pip
ing hot. Though at trTe start of the
dinner hour there was a tendency to
polite society manners, this soon gnve
way to distinctly picnic and careless
methods of wringing the neck or tne
wilv clam. Bv the time the dinner
hour waspassed all coldness r.nd diffi
dence had disappeared, due, pernaps, in
some degree, to the pink lemon-soda
punch, which everyone, even the tem
perance people, pronounced as some
punch. "
Directly after the luncheon hart'oeen
cleared away, various musical num
bers entertained the throng. B. M.
Shenard sanir. Frank Costello of Kut-
land told stories, and Miss Lavin and
Mrs. Clarence Brown offered severa
selections.
An hour of speaking followed the
musical entertainment, with Mi Jv
M. Hanev of Boston, associate v-ditor
of the Boot and Shoe Record, ns the
nrineinal auieaker. Her remarks vere
of an evtremelv interestine nature
but she cut the speech short in order
to allow more time for the ra o
the afternoon. J. A. Greenwood of
Brattlebonx and C. A. Brown of Rut
land also spoke. George X. Tihlen of
Rarre presided.
The remainder of the afternoon was
given over to the, ball game and danc-
inir. Teams were formed from -lie c.t
ies of the cast side and west -id? of
the state, and battled for five innings
with the east side of the state victor
12 to" 8. Plenty of excitement pre
vailed durinc the course of the game.
