Jlcports, however, are in some respects
lio contradictory that the precipe degrees

WETS RENEW FIGHI
FOR "2.75" BEER
File Petition in Supreme Court
for Reconsideration of
Decision
ASK REASONS FOR OPINION
Ry tho Associated Press
Washington. Aug. (!. Wllllnm D.
fiiithrie nnd F.lihu Root, counsel for
Christian Feigenspnn, n brewer of
Newark, N. J., today filed with tho
I'nlted States Supremo Court a peti
tion for n reconsideration of the court's
decision on .Tune 7 sustaining the valid
ity of the eichteenth amendment and
parts of tiio Volstead enforcement net.
The petition contended that tho
eighteenth amendment wa,, designed to
denl exclusively with intoxicnting
liquors. Mr. Feigonstpan in his original
suit sought to prove that beer of 2.7."
per cent alcoholic content was not in
toxicating. The latest petition pointed out the
importune,: nnd muguitude of the con
stitutional questions involved nnd de
clared thnt so far as the petitioner has
been able to nscertniii "there is no rec
ord of any important modern case In
volving such vital questions being, dis
posed of by a court of tlnnl resort with
out explaining its conclusions."
"Not only is it quite unprecedented
in the history of this court for it thus
to dispose without opinion of great con
stitutional questions, but. as emphasized
by Mr. Justice McKonna in his dls
sentlni: oniiiion. it is difficult to measure
the force of the conclusions stated by
. the court or the deductions properly to
I bo drawn upon them.
, I'Uriliermore, tne conclusions ,io not
completely answer questions actually
involved in tho litigation and submitted
for decision.
"As stated by the learned chief jus-
i t Ire in his concurring opinion, the court
fwas decidini
ir .t ense of crent muttiilttldc
and passing upon 'mi amendment to the
constitution oi tne i mien .-iums mul
ing with the lowers nnd duties of tho
national und state governments, and in
timately concerning the welfare of dis
people.' " ...
The petition declared thnt the mean
ing und effect to such an aineiidment
wns necessarily the "subject of discus
sion und concern in the forum of public
opinion, and the failure of the court to
assign any reasons for its decision has
tended naturally to invite criticism aud
create much public dlssntisfnction.
"It seems, therefore," the petition
continued, "that it is not irrelevant or
improper to urge, in support of a plen
for a rehearing, that public opinion lias
doubted and challenged the fitness of
summarily deciding and disposing of a
great constitutional controversy, in
volving vast property interests and long
established legitimate industries aud in
timately conceriiiiift the wolfino of the
whole people, without disclosing 'the
reusons for such a deposition."

Crimes Kill Debated
After n debate which developed

between Premier Lloyd Oeorge and
Herbert II. Asqiillh, the govern

Clynes (Laborite) for relcctlon of tho

passed second reading by a voto of
2SD to 71". Tho voting was carried out
under a motion made in the house early
today by Andrew Honar Law. provid
ing for passage of the bill by six o'clock
tomoirow night.
At the very opening of debate this
days of Parnell were recalled. Mr.
Asqulth started an angry duel with the
prcrhler by declaring the situation in
Ireland needed Cromwelllan treatment,
but that ho could see, no Cromwell in
tlie government. The premier retorted
by describing Mr. Asqulth as Crouiwoll

for the present position in Ireland. This
met with nugry cries of dissent. He

dominion home rule and challenged Mr.
Asquitli to present the name of any one
lu Ireland able to spenk for tho Irish
people who would accept his dominion
proposnl.
There was not u single dominion, tlie
premier added, but possessed nn nriny
nnd power to possess u navy, and iiskcd
whether Mr. Asqulth would give Ireland
nn nrmy nnd nnvy.
Throughout his speech the premier
was stihjectcf. to tntcrruptinti from both
