Macon Telegraph: The city has won its
habeas corpus case before Judge Speer.
Dalton was remanded to fail. Messrs.
Chambers & POlmll represented Dalton
had been fined for pcddling goods from
house TO house in Macon without license.
AreAALbA q iilNdlAtA 70 the ulleu states court
Tor habeas corpus, claiming that he sold
only articles of interstate commerce. He
represented to his lawyers. so they claim
that he was only drummer for a Cincn-
natl house, and at no time having posses
sion or ownership Of the goods he han
died hessrs. Chambers q Polhill went into
court prepared 10 show that a man who or
ders goods from another state for other
parties without himself ever having any Ii
tie to the goods cannot be taxed by the
state or municipal authorities. Dalton was
only "a sub-agent his cOmpanys general
agent being a resident Of Macon. Mr.. Min
Ter Vim berry represented the city author
tiles. Dalton counsel We're astOnished to
hear the statement that he was Obliged al
ways to pay the money for the goods before
at Macon. and was therefore owner Of the
goods until they were bought by other par
ties. This killed the case. AIessrs. Polhill &
Chambers had been led to believe that Dali
ton simply took orders as broker or drum
mer, and the house passed upon all orders
and hlled them or not as they saw fit. 1t
turned out that, instead, Dalton didn't
even send off the orders. merely keeping
them 70 guide him in distributing the
goods. Dalton was obliged to pay for the
goods whether they were accepted by the
purchasers or not. The lawyers felt quite
sure that Judge Speer recognized the law
which eNempts purely agents of houses In
different states from taxation by the city
defeated because the case at bar didn't fit
the law Dalton was remanded to the city
prison, but says he will arrange with his
house to have the goods shipped directly
to the customers SO as to avoid payment of
city license in the future
