IN THE HOUSE
The Free Alcohol Bin Passed-Some Political
Speechmaking

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The house
today by a vote of 16o to 50, passed the
bill for the repeal of section 81 of the
present tariff laws, providing for a re-
bate on alcohol used in the arts or medi-
cinal compounds. An amendment was
attached to the bill providing for Il
joint commission, to consist of three
members from each house, to examine
and report on all questions relating to
free alcohol at the next session. The
opposition to the measure came almost
entirely from the eastern and New Eng
land states. An analysis of the vote
shows that &c Democrats, 104 Republic
cans and Populists voted for the bill,
and that 90 Republicans and Democrats
voted against IT.
The senate amendments to the general
deficiency bill, excepting the French
spoliation claims and claims under the
Bowman act, Were disagreed to. and the
bill sent to conference.

Before Justice Morrison yesterday the
trial of Pierre Ganee, editor of the
French paper, l. Union Novelle, was be-
gun on "A charge of libel preferred by
Emil D'Artois. The foundation of the
complaint is that Canoe published in
his paper an article rejecting upon the
memory of D'Artois' deceased father,
CASTOR d Artois. The paragraph reads:
Emile D'Artois is the son of the
pirate; as to the pirate himself, 1T is
about ten years ago since he blew out
his brains at San Francisco, at the time
that he was going to be sentenced for
embeZZlement."
The prosecution is being conducted by
Deputy District Attorney Willis and in
his opening statement he said that he
would show that the graph was en- :
trciy without foundation. The defense
put Paul Roth on the stand to show
the facts in the matter of the alleged
embezzlement committed by CASTOR
D'Artois. 1t was shown that he was
acquitted on the ground that the
