Speaking for Liquor,

John NJ. Kammercn of Cincinnati, ma
toral organizer Of the National Retail
Liquor Dealers Association, spoke to q
large audience at Costello's Hall en- We'd
nesday Afternoon.
THE liquor dealers oppose the abuse.
not the use of liquors." Mr. Kammeron
SAID. ''Guiteau, the assassin, abhorred the
use of liqu"r, but he put revolver to bad
use. Why is there not universal outcry
against the manufacture of firearms? If
a man makes a beast of himself in the use
Of liquor, why not punish him, instead of
attempting to deprive nine-tenths of the
sober, temperate people of their means of
enjoyment?'
Mr.. kammeron argued that there are
215,o00 liquor dealers in the United States
who pay each an average tax of $3.50 a
year The manufacturers Use millions OF
bushels of corn, hops, matt. wheat, rye
ard potatoes to make the liquor consumed.

SUGAR BOUNTY HEARING.

Controller.

Senator Cnffrey Appears Before the
Controller.
Senator Gallery took the floor when the
sugar tounty hearing was resumed today.
He began by eliciting from Mr.. Bowler a
brief statement of his position, which that
gentleman said was based principally on
the belief that the law was unconstitu-
tional.
Mr.. Caffery then laid down the following
propositions as containing in brief the
points that he would attempt to make:
l. That the judiciary power lodges by ex-
press constitutional grant in the judicial
department., and that alone.
., If any judicial function lodges in any
other department it must be by express
constitutional grant, and if it lodges in
The executive depar tment at all it must
be in its chief alone and not in his subor-
dinates
the bounty law is not constitutional, 1t is
rot SO clearly so as to warrant the inter-
probation that it is unconstitutional even
from a court, much less from a ministerial
officer 1t is not prima facie unconstitu-
toral.
4. Even conceding the uncorstitutionality
of the law, the power lies in Congress to
appropriate money. especially where it is
appropriated for the purpose of repairing
a wrong or injury inflicted BY Congress
itself.
He then proceeded to elaborate these
Points in argument devoted almost
exclusively to the constitutionality of the
bounty law. At / o'clock recess. was

Charles Beach Meets His Death While

Charles Beach of Baltimore, an iron
worker engaged on the new city post Office
building, fell from the seventh floor to the

struck the iron beams at nearly every
floor of the building and nearly all the
homes of the body were broken. The top
of the mans head was knocked Off
The accident occurred by Beach stepping
on the end of board which he had him
self placed and which see-sawed over,
throwing him eff. He was twenty-three
years of age and unmarried. He has been
at work on the building hut two and one
half months and had but few friends in

INVOLVED LABOR QUESTION.
Can Union Brickinycrs Build on Nom
Union Stone Work.

Union Stone Work.
The Stonemasons' UI:cn will at their
regular meeting tonight have before them
a very important question which involves
a question Of information al law and the en-
pigment or non-employmtnt of a large
number Of bricklayers.
According TO the reports submitted at a
col ference meeting Tuesday right of the
bricklayers' and stenemasons' unions, the
store foundation of a building at Fort
Myer is being done by Contractor Mahoney
with non-union sto1 emasons. The fact has
raised a very serious question involving the
trade relations of the members of. the
bricklayers and stonemaso SOL s. unions.
The stone work is not yet completed, and
ur der an International law governing the
bricf layers and stCnemasons' organiza-
tiers, neither is permitted to work upon
any job VIII ere non-union men OF either
craft are employed.
The contract for the brickwork to be
erected upon the non-union work has been
secured by union contractor, and the very
important question of the employment of
union bricklayerS is involved.
At the meeting of the conferences com.
m:ttee of the two Organizations it was
agreed, without dissension, that the BRICK
layers should work upon the structure pend
ing the submission of the matter to the
Stonemasons' Union at their meeting to,
night when the whole subject will be con
s;dered and probably finally disposed Of
The question is of much Importance tt
the bricklayers, as favorable action of the
stonemasons will provide employment for
fcrty or fifty brickl1yers upon this struc-
tCre alCEe.
If, however the stonemasons should re-
fuse to waive the intarna tional law in the
interest of the bricklayers, the latter will
be called from the work and non-union men
will be substituted. There is a disposition
on the part of the stonemasons to decide
the matter literally and fairly, and it is
quite probable that the action of the con-
ference committee will be approved and
all trouble avert ID.
