PORTLAND, Dec. LIN the United

decided the case of the United States vs..
fifty cases of whisky seized by the GUS

for forfeiture for an attempted unlawful
importation into Alaska He sustained
the exceptions to the lhel and made an
order directing the United States marshal

The whisky was seized on the dock just
before the steamer Elder sailed for Alaska
about a month ago. packed In cases mark
ed Cumberland Homemade Tomato Cat
sup" This was the first case of the kind
ever brought before the courts. Judge
Bellinger said:
The fact that fifty cases of distilled
spirits were labeled Cumberland Home
made Catsup' has no bearing upon the
question of an attempt 10 import into
Alaska This false designate is evidence
OF an intention 10 violate the presidential
regulation against the importation of
spirits into Alaska: but the antent is NOT
the act, nor an attempt to commit 1t. The
fraudulent device of the label shows A
contemplated crime against the United
States. but this does not warrant the court
in doing violence to the statute in order
10 punish those who are preparing to vio-
late IL. These packages of spirits were not
in transit from Portland and the libel so
shows They were on the wharf in Port
land Al most there was an attempt TO
export; bat. as already stated. there IL
no regulation against such an attempt"
