NO SUGAR BOUNTlES.
Comptroller Bowler Says Act Of
Congress Is Unconstitutional.
oxNARD CLAIMS THE CASE
Treasury official M washiu gtou Claims
Jurisdiction and Answers the
Petitioners.

Washington. Sept. 5.-R- b. Bowler.
rendered an opinion In the now cele-
brated 0xnard sugar bounty claims. In
which he holds in effect. first. that he.
as comptroller. has jurisdiction of the
case. and second. In his opinion. the
act OF March 2. 1895. making the sugar
bounty appropriation Is uncon-
stitutional. He. however. decided that
the papers In the case be sent to the
court OF claims for the rendition Of
Judgment. In order that there may be
furnished a precedent for the future
action of the executive department In
the adjustment OF the class OF cases
involved In these sugar bounties.
The particular claim decided today
Is substantially on the same footing as
all other sugar bounty claims for the
satisfaction OF which congress at Its
last session appropriated s5.23s. $50. The
comptroller answers at great length
the argument presented by counsel al
the hearing. in which his Jurisdiction
was attacked, and In the course OF
his reply he says the statutes which
| do not conform 10 the constitution are
not laws. and therefore when this
statute Is In apparent conflict with sths
| constitution IL becomes the duty o
| the executive officer to determine fol
himself as between the statute and ths
constitution whether the statute is th'
law.
AS to the constitutionaiity of th'
act the comptroller says In part tina
| the principle has long been decided tina
taxation must be for a public purpose
that an attempt TO take money from
the people by forms OF taxation for
purpose other than a public one. In no
an exercise of legislative power, an
therefore that an attempt to do so {
mere nuility. as an effort by the legis
iature TO exercise power granted b.
the constitution.
BY a refusal to pass the claim tn
ultimate rights of the claimants are II
no way affected, for they have a perfec
remedy In court to test the validity o
the claims and obtain payment thereo
after a final determination of the con
stItutionality of the law. II II be he'll
unconstitutional.

Hunter died almost Immediately. with
his head split open. Ward then told hfs
