DECISION on A LIQUOR CASE.


Keokuk, Ia, Dec. 23-Judge Nc.
Pherson, Of the federal court, hand
ed down yesterday an opinion in the
case Of the United States versus the
Adams Express company in which
the corporation was indicted for car
rying on the business Of a retail
liquor dealer without having paid the
special tax as required by law. The
federal court holds that the express
company is only an agent Of the
vendors in carrying the liquors and
collecting and returning money. As
the express company did not sell
liquors, it was not engaged in the
business Of q liquor dealer. The
court in this opinion has overridden
the decision Of the supreme court Of
Iowa.
1.-THE only question to be consid-
cred in the case is where and by
whom the liquor was sold. If in ILL
nois the court is without Jurisdiction.
II by the Dallas company in Iowa,
then the grand jury has erred in
naming the defendant in the indict-
ment. Did the Adams Express COM
pany carry on the business Of liquor
dealer In Iowa? The defendant as .
common carrier may exact carrying
charges In advance. Or it may waive
prepayment Of such charges, in
which event It has and retains lien
on such merchandise for carrying
charges, payment Of which by con-
signee removes the lien. In such
case the carrier has no interest nor
profit in the transaction other than |
a carrier. II receives no commission |
for the sale Of the liquor"
Judge Mcpherson holds that the
title to the liquors passed from the
Dallas company to the consignees
when they were deposited in the ex-
press Office at Dallas.

EXPORTER WON
Tow Boat Race From Cairo to ST..
Louis Wednesday
A Paducah Man on Each Of the Big Steam
ers-Capt. Buris' Statement.

An interesting steamboat race was
run Wednesday between two we'll
known towboats, the Harry Brown
and Exporter from Cairo to st. Louis.
Two Paducah men were in the race,
one, Engineer Charles johnson, on the
Harry Brown, and the other, Pilot
John Rollins, on the Exporter.
The Globe Democrat says of the
race:
"rhe river men were deeply inter.
ested in Il test Of speed between the
towboats Harry Brown, towing coal
from Cairo to this city, and the Ex-
porter, of the Valley Line. Both left
Cairo Wednesday for st. Louis and the
progress of each boat was closely
watched by the crew Of the other.
The Harry Brown was supposed to be
the most powerful boat, she having
larger machinery of the compound
type, and the tows of the boats were
said to be about the same. The Brown
had about ten hours the start, but the
Exporter overlook her at Neeley's
landing and arrived in st. Louis about
four hours ahead of her. The crew of
the Brown was composed of Floyd
Buris, captain; George Musselman
and George Clark, pilots; Billy Van
Horn and Charles johnson, engineers.
The crew Of the Exporter was Pat
rick Tierney, captain II. S. Davis
and John Rollins, pilots, and Bart
Dunn and Jesse Fitch, engineers. "
Captain Buris of the Harry Brown
was here Saturday and said the only
reason the Exporter passed them was
that they stopped to clean boilers He
says nothing has yet passed the Harry
Brown in a fair test.
