lides with the National Statu.es-Com-
parative Figures of Exports and I'm
ports-Free Alcohol Again.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-Arguments have
been closed in the District supreme court
IN the demurrer of Mccartney and Chap
man to the indictment against them for
refusal to answer questions of the sugar
trust Investigating committee Assistant
Attorney General Conrad, for the govern
ment, attacked the dcfense's claim of
freedom from inquisition, saying: When
bankers books are made the repository
Of evidence of crime the production of
those books does not constitute invasion
of private matters. 1t must be remem-
bcred that these witnesses did not claim
exemption on grounds of personal danger
to them"
The Investigation an Impertience.
Jere Wilson, for the defense, laid especial
stress on the plea that the resolution did
not show on its face that it was the pur-
suits of the committees Investigations.
Wilson maintained that the buying and
selling of stocks, matters of daily occur
renee in every commercial center of the
the world, was as legitimate as the buying
and selling of horses, or rice or anything
else. He characterized this attempt to in
vestigate such alleged speculation of SEN
ators As an impertinence an aiinless in
quiry designed to cast a slur on somebody.
The real point at issue was whether the
resolution was s',ch a one us would justify
citizen in refusing to testify concerning
his private business.
No Intention to Use the Evidence.
The plea could not be set up that the
senate had the power to expel its members
and this Information was necessary to
that body. He asserted that the senate
never intended to expel any member The
history of the investigation showed that
the last senator had openly said: Yes,
l bought sugar stock, what are you going
To do about it," 'Whcreupon," said
Wilson. the senators from way back and
nearby held their peace" Judge Wilson
argued at length the analogy between the
senate resolution and the resolution of
the house of representatives in 1878. under
which Kilbourn was arrested for refusing
to testify.
Private Affairs Want Protection.
The United States supreme court held
| that it did not contain upon its face any
purpose to do anything in the future and
sustained kilbourn in refusing to show
his private records. He cited quite a mum
Der of other cases and concluded by declar.
ing that if the citizen was not protected
| against such inquiries the invasion of the
rights of the citizen would be absolutely
endless and the sanctity and sacreGness OF
| his private affairs would cease. Congress
must be taught lesson. The court took
the motion To dismiss the demurrer unde,
advisement and will enter its ruling i'll q
few days.

W AsHINGToN, Oct. 16.-Another compli-
cation has arisen regarding the free alcohol
section OF the new law. 1t is contended
that alcohol used in the arts, etc, is free
since Aug. s. Users of alcohol in medicine
and the arts want to know whether they
are violating the law i'm removing revenue
stamps from the empty barrels. If they
do not they will have no evidence upon
which to base claims against the govern
ment for the return of duty paid since the
law went into effect. On the other
hand, as the law now stands, they are
liable to heavy penalties for not destroying
the stamps when the barrels are emptied

FRICTION WITH SOUTH CAROLINA
That State Again at Loggerhcads with Its
Uncle Samuel


Uncle Samuel.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Governor Till
man, of South Carolina, was at the treas
ury department and had an interview with
Commissioner Miller, of the internal rev.
cnuc bureau, in regard to question on
which there seems to be conflict between
federal and state authorities. Under the
dispensary laws of the state of South Car
DINA distilled spirits in the custody of
the United States in bonded warehouses
belonging to parties who have violated
the provisions of the dispensary law by
selling them within the state are declared
to be IA nuisance, and on conviction the
state officers are authorized to seize and
confiscatc the liquor.
In all such cases the governor proposes
to tender the tax due to the government
and seize the spirits, contending that the
federal authorities have no right to inter-
fcre in the matter. Commissioner Miller
took issue with the governor and cited
several decisions of the courts, among
them one by the supreme court of the
United States, wherein it was held that
goods in bonded warehouses were not sub
ject to any process or proceeding issuing
from state court, and that SO long as the
government retained control of the goods
its jurisdiction and authority was su-
prcme.
