THE WEEKS CASE.
Attorney Senter Gives Out Some Inter-
esting Facts.

esting Facts.
There was hearing in the Weeks
habeas corpus case before Judge
Wheeler in the federal district court
at Montpelier Tuesday of last week.
1t will be remembered that Arthur l..
Weeks of ST. Adams, deputy United
| States internal revenue collector, was
called before the county court there
ms witness last April and asked
whether man then on trial for vic.
latien of the liquor law had paid for a
federal license stamp. Mr. Weeks re-
fused to answer, saying that he acted
in accordance with the instructions of
his superior officer,and Judge Rowell,
who presided in the county court, or
dered him to be committed to jail for
contempt of court. Application was
at once made to Judge Wheeler of the
federal court for writ of habeas cor
pus and Mr.. Weeks was released un-
der a temporary order. The hearing
came up Tuesday and the case was
argued by Fred A. Rowland, the
states attorney for Washington coun-
~, for the state and John II. Senter,
federal district attorney, for the
United States. Judge Wheeler re-
versed his decision. IL is understood
that there will 6e an appeal from any
decision, as each side is anxious to
have the law involved authoritatively
declared.
Mr.. Senter urged that Mr. Weeks
was not bound TO answer questions as
to payers of federal rum taxes because
the records were not in the state and
not within his control; because the
facts are state secrets or privileged |
because he is prohib- /
tied from disclosing the facts by gov
eminent regulations and because if he
were compelled to testify in such mat /
tiers his time might be fully occupied 1
to the exclusion of his regular duties.
In urging this last named reason Mr.. /
Senter gaze some interesting facts. He |
said that Mr.. Weeks district covered
l3 Vermont counties-all except |
Windham. In these counties there
were a short time ago 727 special tax
payers, and more had come since. The
127 were divided thus: Addison coun-
ty, 60; Bennington, 81; Caledonia. 32;
$50; Essex,6; Grand Isle,
?; Franklin, 81; Orange, -; Orleans,
30; Lamoilie, %; Rutland, -; Wash
ington, los; Windsor, Il. Eight or
nine of these in Washington county
town liquor agencies and
IN the whole l3 counties Just 100 liq-
Tor agencies appeared. The annual
payments for these licenses amounted
rom to $40, 900 to S25, 900. Under the
Vermont law every holder of license
,onld be put on trial three times-for
Seeping liquor with intent TO sell, for
)eing a common seller and for keeping
md maintaining a nuisance-and con-
'icted unless some sort of negative
howing was made. And, as it was
PRACTICAL to go back three years, Mr.
Weeks might possibly be called in T.,
100 or 5000 liquor trials. And this
ervice would be increased if indict-
nents and justice proceedings from
Which appeals were taken should be
dded.

Time works many peculiar

on by Democratic papers after the

ton case. This last decision was
carried by Il majority OF one. the
same rs the income tax decision.
Many who threw up their caps
when the latter was declared are
now very wrOth, and are inclined
to make light OF judicial wisdom.
As the Trans Missouri case is the
outcome of statutory law, the
fight will be transferred to Con
gress, where an attempt will be
made to convince the people that
combinations do exist that should
not be interfered with.

THE PACIFIC
ANNEXATION SITUATION.

From all that can be gathered
from the newspapers there has
been little change in the annex
alton situation since the last ad-
vices from the United States. The
plan Of campaign seems to be
definitely decided upon. Con
gresham Spalding's resolution
was undoubtedly the first move.
Although this resolution is rest
ing quietly lin committee il viii
without doubt make its appear
ance when the tariff has been dis
posed Of We are safe in predict
ing that the administration viii
be- satisfied with this method Of
procedure. and Will cooperate
with Congress. To press annex
alton. however. before the tariff
discussion is finished would be
decidedly questionable.
Two straws have appeared ON
the Congressional surface that in
dictate Il tendency to strengthen
the foreign policy Of the United
States and carry the flag of the
nation To adjacent islands. Sen
atOr Lodge introduced IL resOlu-
ton providing for the appoint
ment of commission TO inVes-
tigate the feasibility of purchas-
ing the Danish islands of the
West Indies to be used as a naval
station of the United States. This
passed the Senate without OppOsi-
ton.
Perhaps IA more significant ac-
fion was that of Senator Mills of
Texas. He made the query: If
the Monroe doctrine has been
brought to bear to prevent the
interference of European powers
in Cuba. is not the United States
III duty bound To demand thal tne
rights OF Cuban insurgents shall
be recognized? This theory also
applies in the Hawaiian question.
Since the United States has main
tanned Il suzeraintY over this
country and demanded that none
of our territory shall be coded to
any other power, is it not bound
To extend TO us substantial pOliti
cal protection? These are qucs
tons on which there is no di-
vision on party lines, and the ma
jOrity in both the Senate and
House can be depended upon To
give an affirmative answer.
