The Suicide Club" Of Southwest Wash

POINT OE LAW RAISED
MANDAMUS CASE AFFECTING
NONRESIDENT LIQUOR FIRMS.

What Is said to be a novel and interesting
point of law Is raised In an amended an
swer filed today in the District supreme
Court by Attorney Leon Tobriner on behaif
of the Hornsteip Grocery Company, local
CORPORATION, to the suit for mandamus IN
stituted against It by the firm of Isaac
Mausbach & Co. of Philadelphia.
Attorney Tobriner contends that all firms
and corporations nonresident In the Dis
trict who sell Intoxicating liquors not dis
titled by them to the local trade must
take out a wholesale liquor license from
the District excise board Failing to do
this, 1T is commended. they are unable to
recover the price agreed to be paid Tor the
intoxicating liquors on the theory that the
bill Ia based on an illegal contract, since
under the law the sale of Intoxicating
liquor in this District without license Is
made unlawful.
Liquor dealers generally. and especially
drummers and statesmen for nonresident
firms and corporations selling liquor In the
District, will be interested In the outcome Oh
the contention. .
United States Supreme Court decisions, 1t
is understood, are relied on by both parties lss
to the controversy. 1t Is not known JUST
when the matter will be heard ana oeter-
mined by the court.
Mausbach & Co., claiming to be creditors
of the Hornstein Company filed a petition
for a mandamus to compel the local cor
poration to file a statement with the re-
corder of deeds Of its financial condition, as
required by the code. On the failure OF
corporation to file such statement. the
code provides that a bona fide creditor may
compel such action by proceedings in man
damus.
Attorney. Tobriner contends in his answer
that Mausbach & Co. have no standing IN
court to maintain the mand anus proceed
ings, because that firm, it is alleged, Is not
a creditor Of the corporation inasmuch as
its claim Is based on an alleged Illegal
contract for the sale of intoxicating liquors
In this District, without having first been
duly licensed.
The Philadelphia Arm Is represented by
Attorney Julius I. Peyser. who says he ex-
poets TO prove to the satisfaction of the
court that the contention has been ruled on
adversely by the United States Supreme
Court

Hampered for Want Of Money.
tional encampment of the United Spanish
War Veterans and Capt. Lee M. Lipscomb,
treasurer, have addressed communications
to several of the prominent members Of the
organization Of Spanish War Veterans ap-
pealing for subscriptions to the encamp-
ment entertainment fund. Capt. Lipscomb
states that as yet less than $500 has been
contributed to this fund by the citizens of
the District.
In a. letter addressed to Gen. George H.
Harries. who is an active member of the
Spanish War Veterans, Capt. Lipscomb ac-
knowledges a generous contribution and
adds it is with extreme reluctance that the
committee fels impelled to call upon men,
bers of the organization to finance the en-
campment.
But" he says, 1.-THE fact is staring us
in the face that notwithstanding we were
invited by the board of trade. the Commits
sioners Of the District and business men
generally to hold OUR ~encampment here,
they are not responding to our appeal for
aid, though we have addressed nearly one
thousand letters. We require about So, 600.
It appears that the Spanish War Veterans
have to put up the money in addition to
the six months of hard work or else suffer
the humiliation of falling to give our COM
rades decent reception at the National
Capital"
Capt. Lipscomb refers to the fact that
Congress voted $4,000 to entertain the
civil war veterans when the Grand Army
of the Republic held its encampment here
and the citizens Of Washington contributed
about $4,000 more, and adds that Con-
gress through the objection Of one Of its
members refused to give the Spanish War
Veterans the insignificant sum of 5000
asked for. He predicts that thousands of
strangers will visit this city encampment
week and expresses the hope that the citi-
zens Of the District will come to the f1nan-
cial assistance of the soldiers Of 1898.
The total subscriptions to date are given
by Capt. Lipscomb follows:
The Shoreham Hotel, 500; Capital Trac-
| ton Company, 500; Milo B. Stevens &
Co., $50; Col. M. A. Winter, $50; The

upon as the entering wedge for the estab-
lishment of camps throughout the southern
states. Commander Mitchell spoke of the
aims and scope OF the national department
and referred to the establishment of the
Richmond camp as the beginning OF a
great department of Virginia.
