ALCOHOL AND THE TARIFF.
Want Very Narrow
Restrictions Adopted.


ASHEV1LLE, n. c., sept. 6.-1ne
American Pharmaceutical Association
yesterday decided to make an attempt to
secure very narrow rest lotions as to the
free-alcohol clause in the new Tariff bill
1t was agreed that with the reduced tax
there would be danger OF promiscuous
selling of the intoxicating drug disguised
as bitters and the like. A resolution was
adopted, requesting the Secretary of the
Treasury to limit the provision regarding
free alcohol to cases where the drug is
to be used in the manufacture OF COM
pounds in which 1t Is so changed as to
lose absolutely its chemical and physical
properties. including the classes of COM
pounds known as others, choral and
chloroform.
This would make the remission of the
tax OF little benefit to the retail deg
gist, and there was vigorous objection to
the resolution before 1t was finally
adopted. The. Association indorsed the
constitution of the Interstate Druggists
League, which places a boycott on man
ufacturers and agents who furnish pat
ent medicines to dealers who cut rates.
George A. Seabury. of New York, was
reelected Chairman of the section on

GOLD-PEN FOLEY SUED.
A Former Agent Asks &1O,OOO DAM
ages for False Arrest.

John j. Edwards, a travelling sales
man, living in Rutherford, N. j., has
brought suit in the Court OF Common
Pleas against John Foley. the well-known
gold pen maker. at 1873 Broadway, for
$40, 900 damages for false imprisonment
and malicious prosecution.
Edwards was employed by Foley as
agent last March and given a stock
of gold pens as samples. Their value
was estimated at SIS. although at the
time Edwards did not know what they
were worth. His samples were seized
by the Canadian customs authorities
at Hamilton, Ont, and Is per cent. of
their value demanded
Edwards wrote to Foley asking for an
inventory of his samples and a check
for IS per cent. OF their value. Foley
instead, according to Edwards's state
ment, sent him a recepted bill for SIS
for his samples. which Foley later said,
as the plaintiff declares. represents the
gold stock in the pens.
The Canadian authorities would not
accept the sum. and Edwards. refusing
to pay the duty, went on about other
business.
When he got back to New York last
month Foley had him arrested on the
charge Of grand larceny. In the Tombs
Court Edwards was discharged, and he
now brings the suit. declaring that his
business credit has been injured to the
amount he cites.
