United States Judge Decides That Such Or

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30--Judge Mc.Pher-
son in the United States District Court rem
dorcd a decision today in regard TO the payment
Of the special tax Of S25. imposed by the United
States Government for the retail sale Of liquors
that will effect every social club In the United
States, II it is not set aside by higher court
and will result in placing. at a low estimate
SlO0O0O in the National Treasury. The decision
was given in the test case instituted by the Alexis
Club Of this city, against which special verdict
was taken last November by nmicahle agreement
for SIS, the amount Of two years internal revenue

After rcciting the particulars Of tho special
verdict Judge Mcpherson quotes section 32it
Of the Revised Statutes, fourth clause, In which
It is stated that any person who sells or offers
gallons at the same time shall he regarded rs n
retail dealer He then goes on TO define the rights,
duties, privileges and limitations Of club az 70
the disposal OF liquors, and concludes that the
single sale Of liquor by any person In loss than

retail dealer within the meaning oil tho statute
In concluding, the Judge said:
Il may be permitted to add single word In

Ono Reason Why tho Cruiser Montgomery

knowledge OF the iacts and whose right to
speak Tor the Administration arc unquestionod
gave the correspondent OF TIE Sun to-day
some Information regarding the reason for tho
cruiser Montgomery's visit to the west coast OF
Africa in October last. While he would not
say positively that tho Montgomery had been
sent to Africa on diplomatic business, the
statement which no made shows that the Gov
eminent deemed the cruisers presence In
Liberan waters to DO necessary as n guarantee
that the United States sti!l exercises paternal
with concern any httempt OF foreign nations to
menace tho INT grity OF that country.
For more than n year the government OF
Liberia has been alarmed over the suspicion
that European nations were contemplating tho
seizure OF its territory, and appealed to the
United States Government for its support IN
preserving It's integrity. In answer to q his ap.
polite notes TO the governments OF Great
Britain. Germany and France. calling their AT.
African republic, and requesting that
assurances be given 10 quiet its fears.
Prompt responses Of a satisfactory character
gated gave assurances that It had no intention
" taxing any part ~ tho territory OF Liberia.
i, ls supposed that the Montgomery was sent
to Liberian waters to show the world that this
Government was prepared to resist any Mt
tempt on the part OF u foreign nat on TO annex
Montgomery made sound,ngs o. thu harbor OF
Monroyia and other places. with n view to tho
possi hle acquisition OF one OF them as a coaling
station OF the United States.
