BIG LIBEL SUIT AT MONTREAL
II Is Likely To Affect the Standing
OF the Liberal Party Now
i'm Power.

Montreal, Oct. 1.-The criminal
libel suit Of Hon. j. Israel Tarte
against Alexander Grenier, publisher
of the Libre Parole, is the most sensa-
tional case that has ever been before
the Canadian courts. 1t has become a
party issue, and the conservatives who
are aiding Grcnier are trying to bring
out evidence which will ruin the lib
erals now in power.
Over sixty witnesses, all prominent
LIBERALS, have been called. including
Sir Wilfred Laurier, the premier. ) me
of the highest officials, including Sen
ator Peiletier, leader of the senate,
have refused to come, and bench war
ants have been issued for them.
Mr.. Tarte was for years chief organ
izer of the conservative party, and
then ruined it by publishing Doodle
letters in his possession which caused
the downfall of Sir Hector Langevin
and the arrest of Thomas McGreevE
VI. F., and others. The Libre Parole
called him the 'roi DIES carrottiers,"
and accused him of every political
crime under the sun short of murder.
Ii called him n boodler and accused
him of appropriating political funds
intrusted to him to his private pur-
pose.
Mr.. Tarte asserts that the publica-
ton was caused by his refusal to give
Grenier n certain amount of money.

AFTER DEALERS IN HOP TONI,

License.

Sioux Falls, S. d.. Oct. IN. L
Cogley, deputy internal revenue collec-
tor, has begun proceedings against a
number of Sioux Falls dealers to COM
pei them to pay the government tax
or cease the sale of Michels Hop Tonic
manufactured by the Lacrosse Br,w.
ing company and sold heretofore as q
temperance drink. The inspector
bought n bottle from eight different
dealers, mostly fruit vendors. and then
informed them that license must
be paid. The dealers have wire1
the manufacturers 10 find out
whether they will stand the expense
of n fight and say they were assured
by the ccmpany's salesman that the
tonic vas q temperance drink and did
not contain alcohol and could be sold
without a license of any kind. No
reply has yet been received from the
manufacturers. Mr.. Cogley has been
working on the case for some time but
did not proceed until he had received
definite instructions from the depart
ment. The internal revenue depart
ment has ruled that this toic when sold
as n beverage must pay a license and
proposes to make it pay the tax OF to
stop its sale. Those who know Jay the
tonic would readily pass for beer
were the label removed, though it IL
not quite SO intoxicating.
