sTATE'T BILL OF COMPLAINT.
Douglars Renews Motion to File Minuesota's
Against Northern Securities Co.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. Elm the United
States Supreme court today Attorney
General Douglass, of Minnesota, renewed
his motion for leave to file bill of COM
plant on behalf of the State against the
Northern Securities Company in the mat
ter of the merger of the Northern Rail-
road with other railroads, saying that
he had given notice to the defendants as
required by the court.
w. ID. Guthrie for the Northern Sc
curities Company filed a brief with the
court outlining that company's position
Attorney General Douglass made an ar
gument in support of the motion for
leave TO file his bill of complaint.
Mr.. Gthrie contended that the bill of
comp1ainc proposed to be filed on behalf
CT the State of Minnesota, does not pre-
sent controversy of a civil and judicial
nature between a State and a citizen of
another State justifiable in this court
and that no State can call upon this
court to enforce its penal or police laws
in other States.
The sole grond of complaint, he main
tanned, is the alleged violation in New
Jersey of certain enactments contained
in the states of Minnesota Hence he
commended that the injunction prayed for
would be nothing more or less than an
order compelling the secrities company
TO obey in NeW>Jersey the laws Of Min
nesota.

Jealousy Leads to Tragedy in Winston, Rex
Gass is the Victim.
Especial to News and Discovery

tSpecldl To news ana observer T
Winston Salem. N. c., Jan. 27.-Mr.
Rex Gass, assistant floor manager at
the Farmers Tobacco warehouse, was
shot in the abdomen and perhaps ia
tally wounded, this morning by Georwge
w. Pruett, a picture agent from Will
mington, who was accompanied by his
partner, Chas. Luton. of Elizabeth City.
The shooting occurred on the ware
house floor. The wounded man was re-
moved to the hospital at once. The OPP
Grafton performed showed that the ball
went through the bowels and lodged at
or near the back bone. There is little
hope for his recovery and Luton were
caught by several men in the warehouse,
and there was talk of lynching the first
named, but the advice of cooler heads
was needed. The impression is general
here that the shooting vas premeditated.
Pruet and Luton were committed to Jail
without bail
The trouble between Gass and Pruett
started last night over a girl. They
went home with her from religious SER
vice. both tanning to have made en-
gagements with her. When arrested
Pruett had two pistols. one in each hand
while a pistol and pair of knuckles were
found on Luton.

ViOlatOrs of the sanitary ordinances,
Officer Tracy has passed the last two
mornings in Judge WilcoX's court Civ
ing testimony against various offenders.
Sanitary Inspector Francis was also
present in court yesterday, as a witness
in a case. In every instance, cOnvic-
tiOns were secured.
The most warmly defended case Oc-
CURED this morning when Yee Hop was
charged with common nuisance. Judge
Stanley appeared for the defence and
Deputy High Sheriff Chillingworth for
the prosecution. Mr.. Tracy testified
that the cesspool on the defendants
property was overlooking and running
into PauOa stream. There seemed to
be some thing radically wrong with the
condition of the CesspOOl 1t had not
been pumped out for about year un-
til recently but the other day when il
was pumped out, within tWenty-fOuT
hours il had filled up again and was
overlooking. Tracy was subjected to a
very severe cross examination by Judge
Stanley but he stood the ordeal Well
and the testimony was not materially
weakened by the examination.
Several lively tits occurred between
the attorneys but the case ended by the
defendant being found guilty and fined
S25. Notice of an appeal was given.
Yesterday, two Chinese defendants
charged with similar offences were fined
$40 and costs each. The Chinese appear
to be the people who are causing the
sanitary officials the greatest amount
of trouble and i'm every case wh.cl has
come up recently, the defendants have

A CHANCE FOR AN EXPERT
DRINK-MIXER.
A Legalized Distiring of the Ti-Boot
Drink Might BE a Profitable Indus
try

There is a chance for profitable
industry in the making Of OkOlehaO"
said one of those interested i'm the
| Castanha case, "if the restrictions i'm
posed by the Hawaiian statutes are
done away with. Good okolehao, I un-
| derstand, is as good as many other IL
quOrs that are allowed by statute and
( better than some, and it IS something
unknown on the Mainland that might
soon be quite in demand if It were in
| troduced
Under the federal statute there is
nothing to stop a man making all the
okolehaO he wants, If he complies with
the law. He must register the still,
give a bond and make certain reports,
besides complying with other rules laid
down in the revised statutes Then the
United States has nothing to do with
any law the Territory may have on the
subject Of OIOlehaO, though its license
viii not protect a man from prosecu-
ton under the Territorial law While
the federal law contains i'm on. Soc
ton a list of things from which aICo-
hOlic liquors may be distilled, there is
another section providing in a general
way for other things, so that the law
is broad enough to include ii root"
1t is suggested that some enterpriSing
expert in drink-miXinE might make
new mixture from okolehaO that would
SsJ name IN the CluDS ana notes or
the mainland An OkOlehao cocktail is a
possibility. 1t might be made hot
enough to suit the toughest palate, or
mild and sweet and tropical. Once pro-
perly introduced If rightly mixed up
it might make a place for itself in the
fashionable clubs where something new
is always looked for, and Hawaii, IA
nous now only for political rumpusses,
sugar production and hulas, might win
distinction as the manufacturing place
of new drink.
The Hawaiian law as it now stands
contains a simple prohibition Of the
manufacture of any liquors of any kind
in the Territory, the following, section
424, covering the case of okolehao and
all other liquors.
Whoever shall manufacture for sale
any intoxicating drink or substance in
the Territory of Hawaii, shall be liable
to a fine not exceeding $500, and in de-
fault of payment Of such fine shall be
Imprisoned at hard labor for a term not
exceeding two years"
This law is the cause of much Illicit
distilling, 1t is claimed. In the States
1t has been noted many times that a
strct law against distilling, or an es-
pecially high license, always increases
the number of secret stills and makes
work for the internal revenue officers.
If okolehaO licenses We're legalized the
Territory would get the benefit of Ii
censes, whereas under the present laws,
Uncle Sam gets it all in fines.
