CUSTOM HOUSE
A BLIND TIGER
Whiskey and Rum Stored in the
Government Building in
Charleston S. C.,
Charleston S. c.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Secreta-
ry of the Treasury has received a report
from the special agent who has conducted
the investigation of the reported use OF
the Custom House at Charleston, S. c.,
for the storage of contraband liquors for
illicit sale. The search of the building
by the Inspector and a number of aSsis-
tanrs- resulted in the finding of a cask
containing about fifteen gallons of rum
and thirty-nne ten-SaiiOn kegs from which
the liquor had recently been taken. The
rupa~..as found in the basement and the
empty kegs in the attic.
A number of officers and employees OF the
custom house We're asked for an eXplana-
ton of the finding of the liquor, but all
disclaimed having any knowledge con-
cerning it, except one night watchman,
who admitted having allowed some of his
friends to keep the liquor tnere. Other
testimony discoses information which
leads the officers making the investigation
to believe that the liquor belonged to a
certain individual in Charleston, who has
a Wholesale liquor dealers license.
The conclusion of the officials is that
certain deputy conector is responsible for
the storing Of the liquors in the custom
house and that several employees had full
knowledge of it.
The report is accompanied by copies of
the testimony taken.
The Treasury officials have taken no ac-
tion in regard to the matter, but there
seems 10 he no doubt tina t the guilty par
ties will be Immediately brought to JUS

Sir William Gatacre's sudden removal

curt manner in which it is announced

preston IS that it is connected with the
ReddersburS affair. although there are
many who consider that there must be
something much more serious. as other
generals in South Africa have been re-
tanned in command after plumbers more
formidable than Gatacre's.
The War Office has received no news of
the death of Colonel Baden-Poweli, and

EMIGRANT AGENTS TAXED.
They Must Have Il License to do Bus
mess in GcOtTja

ATLANTA. GA, April 1.-THE Supreme
Court of Georgia rendered decision to-
day declaring the e1nigrant agent act,
which requires every emigrant agent in
the State to pay a license tax of 500 to
conduct his business. constitutional.
The court defines an cmigrant agent to
be one who hires laborers to be employed
beyond the limits of the State. 1t held
that tax or an e7nigrant agent doing
business in Georgia Is not a regulation
of interstate commerce.; that such a tax
as is required under the en,tgrart agent
act does not prevent citizens from re-
moving from one state to another to get
employment, and is not violative of the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
