MADISON, WIS, June 4.-Judge
Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court.
has been here listening to arguments in the
case o. Marcus Oppenheimer against Jens.
J. Nass,. treasurer Of the city Of Houghton.
Complainant SETS up that plaintiff, "A cti-
zen of New York, has been for several years
engaged In buying tobacco In The vicinity OF
HeughtOn Tor the purpose OF transporting Il
10 New YORK, and IN order TO properly trans-
port IT, IL Is necessary TO sort IL and pack IL
in boxes for shipment: that for these pur-
poses he had a warehouse In HOughtOn, i'm
which II was sorted. packed. and kept until
IL could he conveniently Transported TO
New York. to be there sold and manulac-
tured; That while a large quantity OF such
tobacco was lying In said warehouse, and
kept there for no other purpose. IL was
taxed by the local authorities. and defend
ant afterwards collected the tax. knowing
mat II was Illegal; that said tax was I'M
constitutional and void on the ground that
such tobacco, when taxed was a part OF
the commerce OF the country In transit from
State to state, and had no status for taxa
tlon in Wisconsin.
Action was brought e recover from the
city treasurer the money so collected by
him and paid 10 him under protest.
a general demurrer TO this complaint
was interposed. by which two questions
were rsised-first. whether the city trea.
surer could be- held for money collected by
him. or whether the action should not have
been against the city Of Houghton. Ofwhich
he was treasurer; second. whether the TO.
bacco was taxable.
The court held-Justice Harlan deliver
ing the oplnion-that upon the first ques-
ton the Judges were unable 10 agree, Judge
Harlan inclining TO the opinion that the
defendant is liable. and Judge Bum being
Of a different opinion. This objection was
therefore Overruled. on the other point
whether this tobacco was taXable-lt was
agreed by both judges that The allegations
OF complainant are sufficient To show that
the tobacco is not taxable, being in effect In
course OF transportation. and as = subject OF
Interstate commerce not taxable by .
State.
The demurrer was therefore overruled.
