brought him up took him back with them

that the insane hospital is an excellent

parole has wholesome effect in wedding

Express Companies May Carry Liquors
Without the Formally Of a License. 81
KEoKUK, IOWA-Judge Mcpherson of
the federal court handed down an opinion
In the case Of the United States vs.. the
corporation was indicted for carrying on
the business of a retail liquor dealer with
out having paid the special tax required
by law. -zs
The federal court holds that the ex-l
press company is only an agent Of the
vendors In carrying liquors and collect
Ing and returning money. AS it did not
sell liquors, it was not engaged in the
business of a liquor dealer. The court in
this opinion has overruied the decision
OF the supreme court OF Iowa.
The packages Of liquor were sent by
a liquor house at Dallas, ILL.,, to persons at
Birmingham, Iowa, c. o. .. The ex-
press company was indicted, the govern
ment contending that the title was trans
ferred to the company when 1t received
G.. O. D. packages. Judge Mcpherson
says:
THE only question to be considered in
out jurisdiction. II by the Dallas COM
the case is where and by whom the liquor
was sold. If lii Illinois the court is with
pany in Iowa, then the grand jury has
erred in naming the defendant in the in =
dictinent. Did the Adams Express COM
pany carry on the business Of liquor deal
Ter in Iowa?

on such merchandise for carrying charges,
payment of which by consignee ! emoves

interest nor profit in the transaction other
than as a carrier. It receives no com

Judge Mcpherson holds that the title
to the liquors passed from the. Dallas
company to the eonsignee when they were
deposited in the express office at Dallas.

now brought suit to recover both for the
damages to his business and for his trou-

The dispute originated over some bills
which the company claimed Nelson had
not paid. The accounts were examined

counts being attributed to errors in book
keeping. 1t was after this, it is alleged
