Roosevelt and the department, as Mr..
factory.
Although r. H. Mcneil, counsel for
d. M. Arey, who is now serving a
sentence of three months in Salisbury
Jail for violation of internal revenue
laws, has filed additional papers at
the Department of Justice in the en-
deavor to obtain Arey's release, it was
said in the office of the Pardon At
torney that the case was considered
closed by the department, and would
not be reopened unless Arey'S counsel
and friends could induce President
Roosevelt to send for papers and or
der further action.
This looks as if Attorney General
Moody intends to adhere to his de-
termination not to interfere with de-
cisions of the Federal judges in the
internal revenue cases.
Postmaster O. j. Swain, of Pine
town, n. c., who was here to attend
the convention of fourth-class post
masters yesterday, did not care to
talk politics while here. Mr.. Swain
said:
There is no political excitement
in North Carolina just now, and our
people are too busy to discuss poll
tinued, lis enjoying an era of pros
perity. Our farmers and lumber men
are making all kinds of money. The
only thing tina worries them is the
labor problem. There is a scarcity OF
reliable labor and yet wages were
never so high
The Internal Revenue Bureau has
made public an order directing at
tention of collectors of internal rev.
enue to the fact that it is their duty
to look after all cases in suit to keer
advised of their status, watch their
progress, consult with the district at
torney and furnish that officer with
desired information when able to
do so.
Another ruling of the commissioner
emphasized to-day by a special or
der is of interest to every Watts law
town and city in North Carolina. II
is to the effect that upon receipt OF
orders from persons at different
points dealers cannot ship and con
sign liquor ordered to themselves a.
those points instead of to these Gus
toners and send bill OF lading with
draft attached to a bank for eacf
person to pay, without involving
themselves in special tax liability a
each place where deliveries are made
to customers.
This question has been carefully
considered by his office, Mr.. Yerke:
says, and the ruling has been sus
tanned by the weight of all the
authorities examined.
