matters which are Of considerable I'M

crease the minimum term Of school to

The result Of a non partisan Congress
sional conference which recently met
with the representative of the Anti

of a committee which drew up the fol.
lowing resolution. 1t has been presented
in the Senate and the House. Support
from members Of both parties hes been
pledged to 1t:
ReS0lUed: First, Thst the words OF
the Declaration of Independence, I'VE
hold these truths to be self evident. that
all men are created equal; that they are
endow d by tbe'r Creator with certain
mali nabl rights; that among these are
life, liberty. and the pursuit OF happiness,
That to secure these rights governments
are instituted among men deriving their
Just powers from the consent of the
governed That whenever anv form Of
government becomes destructive Of
these ends it is the right OF the people
to alter or aboli.h 1t, and TO inStltu

that the internal revenue special tax

IN the sale Of liquor anywhere through
out the United States (Vhetner IN

payment of the tax which these laws

Il is merely a receipt for tax, and affords
the holder no protection whatever from
the conse quences OF selling alcoholic
liquor IN violation ol the State laws or
local ordinances. This fact is explicitly
stated on the face of each stamp issued

The suppression OF the evils of the
alcoholic liquor traffic IN any State must
be sought under the laws Of the state
and not under the laws OF the United

nothing whatever to do herewith
and do not interfere in any manner with
the prosecution, conviction and sentence
OF any person engaged in the unlawful
sale OF such liquor he fact that he

Claims DAMAGES from Gelm,uy.

Ferdinand Holzendorr, naturalzed
citizen of the United States, who hled
recently with the State Department a
claim for 500 600 damages against the
German Government, based on his
alleged unlawful detention in that coun
try, has presented to Secretary Hay a
COPY Of the specific allegations upon
which his complaint rests. Mr. Holzen-
dori was formerly a subject OF the Ger
man Emperor, and was for some years
in the imperial service, during which he
was imprisoned upon several occasions
for alleged imprope conduct and once
upon the charge of insanity, For this
he made q claim for damages, and in
May, 1893 visited Berlin to Drs SIS the
matter. While ther- Mr.. HolzendoH
declares he was seized and deprived OF
his liberty as an alleged insane person
until August ~, 1899 when he was
released, returning to this country,
During this time Of detention, Mr.
Holzendori allegez that he suffered
large property losses. the instances set
forth being that by reason Of his Impris
onment he was unabl- to retain valuable
mining prospects IN Utah, which he had
located, and a large trac, Of farming land
in Idaho. and also four town lots In
Wallace, Idaho. For these losses and
mental anguish suffered Mr.. Holzendorf
demands OF Germany $Ioo. 600. and th-
State Department has been urged to
present the claim.
Mr.. Holzendorf is a competent black
smith. and was formerly riding master
in the cavalry regiment at Berlin. He
has a large family to support, and since
coming to Washington to press his
claim has been without employment
and in needy circumstances. An effort
is being made to interest some philan

employment for him,

Sir: In reply to the letter addressed
to you on the 5th instant by Mr.. F V.
Kander, of Kansas City, Mo-, asking for
the ruling OF this office concerning 1.-The
shipping OF beer by brewers and brew
ers agents." will you please inform hlm
that where brewers receive at their
place OF business, for which they hold
the requisite special tax stamps as
malt liquor d alers, orders from persons
at distant points tor bottled beer drew
ers being exempt from special tax for
selling anywhere in the United States
their original stamped packages ofbeer),
and thereupon pack the bottled beer,
mark It to the persons by whom il was
ordered, and charge 1t to them but,
instead Of shipping it TO these persons,
ship it to their own agent, who de iveTs
il as marked in the brewing companV's
wagons. this beer being not only con-
signed generally to the agent but
waybilled to him, and thus remaining at
the risk ofthe shippers, it is held that
as the common carrier in such case
receives the beer as the agent Of the
brewers, and the beer Is in the custody
and possession OF the b ewing company
throu gh its agent up to the time OF its
actual delivery from the wagons, and
AZ - ~ he
property Of those who ordered II. the
sale is made at the time and place OF
such actual delivery, and special tax
must be paid by the brewers at that
place, If instead OF pursuing this course,
the brewers in all cases in which they
receive orders for bottled beer at their
place Of bus mess, for which they hold dthe
requisite special tax stamp, ship and
waybill the beer directly to the custom
ers, or take a special bill of lading TO
their agent IN which ii is expressly stated
that the goods are to be delivered TO
him for the use Of certain persons therein
named. to wit. the persons who ordered
the beer, such shipments at the regular
place Of business OF the brewers change
the right OF property in the bottled beer
from the brewers at that place TO their
customers; and the sales are covered by
the spec cial tax stamp at that place, aud,
therefore, add itonal special tax is not
required to be paid for delivery Of the
bottled beer to these customers by the
agents OF the brewers elsewhere.
