DRUMMERs CAN'T BE TAXED
An Important Decision Handed Down
by the supreme CoI-t.

An Important Decision Handed Down
by the supreme CoI-t.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The Supreme
Court to-day rendered decision which IS,
in effect, that State or local taxes upon
drummers or commercial travellers are
unconstitutional. The case was that OF
Walling vs.. the State of Michigan. Wall
ing was a whisky drummer from Chicago,
aud the State of Michigan wanted to tax
him $500 for selling his goods within her
borders, the revised statutes of that State
imposing such an assessment upon all
who sell goods by sample from other
States. Waling took his case 10 the Su-
preme Court OF Michigan, and was there
directed 10 pay the tax. He appealed
and the United States Supreme Court
holds that only Congress, by an
Interstate commerce law can authorize
a drummer's tax such as that imposed
by Michigan. and which is upon the stat
utes OF a number of States. The Supreme
Court OF Michigan held that The tax i'm
posed by the act is 81 exercise of the
police power OF the State for discourage
ment of the use of intoxicating liquors
and the preservation Of the health ana
morals of the people. The Supreme Court
OF the United States holds that this would
be perfect justification Of the act if it did
not discriminate against the citizens and
products of other States and thus usurp
one Of the prerogatives OF the national
legislature

Gambling rivalry In 81. LouIa.

Trial OF the Case Growing Out of the
Gambling Rivalry In ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1S.-An immense crowd
the largest the Criminal Court in this
city has ever seen-was present at that
court this morning to witness the opening,
OF the trial OF the Chinese "Binders.'S
The Chinese inhabitants OF the city were
present in large nuinbers. The opposing
factions, the Hong kOngites and Canton
eBe, occupied positions on opposite sides
of the room. The morning session was
occupied by the formal opening proceed
ings and the wrangllng Of the opposing
counsel over some tecnnicalities OF law.
A recess was takon from To 2:30 O'Clock.
The murder with which the prisoners are
charged WAS the eliminating point of
trouble which had been some time going
on between the Chinese Hong Koneltes,
who have membership in st. Louis OF
about 200, and the Cantonese, who num-
ber about 40. The societies fell out over
a gambling question.
THE HIGH ROLLERS ROBBED.
The Cantonese ''nigh rOllers'' were in
the habit OF attending the Hong Kong
gambling house, kept by Chy Con, alias
joe Gong, at No. 60 Market street, and
lost money there 50 steadily and heavily
that they come 10 the conclusion that an
"Ah Sim 'game was being put up on them
and in order 10 get even with the enemy
they decided 20 have the game stopped by
the authorities. For this purpose they
enlisted the services of Hon johnson. =
Cantonese brother, who had been de-
tective Ia Denver, and understood how TO
apply the American law 10 the Chinese
brace game. Johnson went TO work and
succeeded IN having Joe GOng's place
raided, a proceeding which intensified the
animosity existing between the two soci-
eties.
MURDER DECIDED on.
The Hong Kongites met in secret ses-
sion aud decided that JOhnson must 20.
A fund Of 81 200 was raised, and on the
morning OF June Johnson was attacked
~ his bed by hired aasassins and cut %
pieces, his body being found on the even
ing OF the same day Several arrests were
made, but full revelation OF the bloody
plot WAS not made until after The arrest
OF Cong Song who fed from the city after
the murder, was caught 40 Murphys-
bore, H., brought back and made q clean
breast OF the affair, revealing The entire
conspiracy and detailing The circum-
stance OF the killing. which he said was
