FOR LIQUOR LICENSE $4,000.
South Cardinals Claim for Refunding
This Money Paid by Dispensary
Officials to Federal Govern

Dreme Court.
lBy the AsAoeLated Press.)

Washington, April 10.-Arguments
were begun in the Supreme Court OF
the United States in a case involving
feature of the South Carolina dlspen-
sary law. The State sued the Federal
government for $4,000 which the
government through its Internal reVe-
nue. bureau insisted upon making the
State officers pay for wholesale and re-
tail LIQUOR license under the operation
of the dispensary system by which the
state controls the liquor traffic within
It's borders The suit was first brought
I'm the Court of Claims, the State con-
tending that these officers were exer-
cisjng police powers and that when the
Federal government compelled them
to pay license fees ii was taxing state
instrumentalities. The Court OF Claims
decided against this contention, hold
ing that the police power of state
must be exercised in subordinatlon TO
the superior rights of the Federal
government. In connection with the
representations made by the attorneys
for the State in their argument today
it was recalled that Congress in GER
tain amendatory legislation some years
ago defined the classes of persons who
were the subjects of these license. 1T
said persons" included co-partner-
ships, associations and corporations.
1t is held that the Federal government
is thus compelled to argue that
State is a Corporation" within the
meaning of this statute. The attor,
neys laid considerable stress on this
legislation in their contention that the
money should be refunded.

.(By the Associated Press. }

New York, April l0.-The hearing
in the application of Franklin b.
Lord. a stakeholder of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, for an in
junction to restrain the officers and
directors of the society from carry
ing through their naturalization plan,
was resumed today before Justice
Maddox. in the Supreme court, Brook
Ign. At the opening of the hearing
Samuel Untermyer, acting as attorney
for James H. Hyde and William H.
Mcintyre, respectively, first and
fourth vice-president of the society,
asked leave to intervene in the pro-
ceeding. He said the interests of his
clients were vitality involved and that
they should have opportunity to pre-
sent their side of the case before the
court should reach a decision. Justice
Maddox granted two days for Mr..
Untermyer to file brief or appear
again in person to argue his motion
to intervene.
Edward NJ Shepard, attorney for
Mr.. Lord, then addressed the court,
setting forth that Mr.. Lords interests
would be prejudicially affected if the
naturalization plan became effective,
and arguing that the officers of the
society should be enjoined from put
ting the plan into operation.
William B. Hornblower, represent
ing the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, replied to Mr.. Shepard. He said
he represented no individual officer
or director but the society at large.
Mr.. Hornblower then read to the
court an affidavit signed by Mr.. Alex
ander, In which the latter denied that
the naturalization of the Equitable had
been effected because of any rivalry
between the officers of the company.
Mr.. Alexander stated that $40 shares
out of total of 1000 had been voted
upon the proposition and had decided
in favor of naturalization. Mr.. Horn
blower controverted the contention of
Mr. Shepard that the Legislature has
no right to alter or repeal charter
unless the original charter shall con-
tain such a provision.

about twenty skilled workmen for cut

men in the building work. Their work

When asked to what they attributed
their success in a place that had been

to the fact that they would never
