A ak on Methods and
Not on Wine.
QUEER CLAUSE IN THE BILL
BULK DEALERS ESCAPE THE
BURDEN.
The Secretary Of the Treasury Tells
the BottIers Of Vinous Fluids
Why They Are Made an
Exception.

The wine men of this State who have
been opposing the war tax on bottled
wines on the ground that it was not only
discriminating but unconstitutional have
received body blow that not only dazes
but amuSes them.
The claim Is made by the bottlers that
in placing tax ON wine in glass 95 per
cent Of the vinous product escapes the
impost, and that the burden falls on the
few who sell goods in case.
A short time ago the Wetmore- Bowen
Company notified the Government that
they would not pay the tax, justifying
their position on the theory above men,
toned.
The firm has received a reply from the
Secretary of the Treasury in which he
makes the confusing statement that the
tax is not placed upon the wine as a
wine, but upon the method" The con-
fusion arises from the fact that the meth
DDS of treating and bottling wines are as
numerous as the bottlers thereof. In
other words the wine is not taxed. but
the method of getting 1t upon the market
is. Taking this theory the bottlers say
that 1t would be as reasonable to tax
the method of placing bulk wines before
the public. They also say several other
who drew UP the wine section of the
revenue law and made it 'left-handed."
However, they must pay the tax tax. as as
Treasury Department to the Wetmore-
Bowen Company:
Sir: Your letter OF the 9th inst, addressed to
the honorable Secretary Of the Treasury pro-
testing against payment of the tax on wines
when bottled for sale, the ground that said
tax is 'discriminative, unjust and unconstitu-
tional," has been referred to this office. You
suggest that wine should be taxed at the
winery where it Is made while still in the
wood, that Equitable tax upon every
producer will be assured. while under the
present system many large growers and mer-
chants, who sell millions of gallons in wood
annually. escape taxation to the detriment of
those who puts up and sell their product in
glass.
The act of June 10, 1885, popularity known as
the war revenue law imposes a stamp tax
sparkling other wines when bottled for
sale" The function of the executive branch
of the Government is to carry out or execute
the laws as enacted by Congress and 1t has no
power to inquire into the expediency consti-
tutionality of laws enacted. The intent and
purpose of the law above referred TO not
apparently to levy tax on wine as wine, but
the usual and customary method of putting
of consumers upon whom presumably the extra
burden would ultimately fall with the least
Inconvenience. Respectfully yours.
G. W. WILSON,
Acting Commissioner.

important Case.
EIGHT JURORS SECURED
EIGHT JURORS
SECURED
ACCUSED WILL MAKE A HARD
FIGHT FOR LIBERTY.
Will Probably Acknowledge Civil but
Deny Criminal Liability for the
Shortage in His
Office.

Augustus c. widber. the defaulting ex-
treasurer, is now on trial before Judge
LOOK on charge of having stolen Sill 900
from the city treasury. The morning ses-
sion OF the court was occupied in the
examination of talesman and out of
twenty, eight jurors were secured. The
panel was then exhausted and the case
went over until this morning.
During the examination of witnesses
the defense was forced to show it's hand
10 certain extent. After the usual for
MAJ questions each talesman would be
questioned as to whether he had read
any purported statements of the defend
SuI reiatlVe TO his guilt or innocence. If
nc mao ms services as juror We're not
required. If the talesman safely passed
TINS TINS question then his knowledge. of the
law would occupy the attention Of Attor-
cused.
DO you know the difference between a
civil action for the recovery of moneys in
trusted?' PefXOtto would ask AS q rule
those jurors who. were accepted were
aware of the difference, and this lays
bare the fact, the prisoner will contend
that while he may be civilly liable he
cannot be held behind prison bars for
his offense.

sister, appeared in court looking pale and
worn; Across from the little group sat
