TRUE BILL FOUND
AGAINST SOLOMONS
Charged With Violating Carey Goth
ran Liquor Law-The Matter up
in Beaufort
The State.

The State.
Beaufort, Sept. 17.--The grand jury
this morning found true bill against
RI. a. Solomons, the liquor salesman
OF Columbia, who the magistrate here
refused to bind over in July.
lie IS charged with violating see
tion 46 Of the new liquor law which
prohibits distillers, brewers, LIQUOR
dealers, or their agents from in any
way urging the sale Of their gods to
the dispensaries in this state. The
chairman of the Beaufort county
board testified that Mr.. Solomons did
so approach him for the purpose of
securing business. The case had
created good deal of interest here.
1t can not be tried until the January
term Of court.
Gov. Anscl sent for n copy Of the
testimony taken before the magistrate
and after considering it forwarded i,
to Solicitor Jervery with the request
that he present the matter to thu
grand jury. Attorney General Lyon
who appeared at the preliminary
stated that it is the purpose of tn,
state administration to enforce tn
anti-graft section Of the present Law
TO the letter, and as this last act;o,
is undertaken at the express reques
3 OF the governor, it would seem to b
part of the announced policy.

WINE GO. WANTS DAMAGES.
Suit Filed Against State Dispensary
Commission.-Served on G. X.
Henderson.
The State 18th.


Mr.. G. K. Henderson, member of
the state dispcnsary commission in
charge of the winding up Of the af-
fairs of the old state dispcnsary, had
served on him in Norfolk last Friday,
a paper notifying him and the other
members of the commissionn that
damages amounting to $4,000 were
claimed by Garrett & Co., who have
tor years sold the bulk of the wine
supplies to the state boards of con-
troll. This action means that the wine
firm has refused to accept goods
shipped back to them by the commits
sion and claims damages instead.
The serving of the papers came as
surprise to the members Of the com
mission, consisting Of Dr. w. j. Muir
ray Of this city. c. x. Henderson OF
Aiken, Avery Patton Of Grecnvilc,
John McSwccn of Timmonsvilc and
IS. f.. Arthur Of Union. Mr.. IIrndcr-
son was on visit to the exposition
last week, when the Garrett firm,
having Offices al Berkeley, just across
the river from Norfolk, learning that
he was in town had the summons Scrv-
ed upon him. 1t read as follows:
'Summons to W. j. Murray, John
McSwcen, c. X. Henderson, B. Il. Ar
thur and Avery Patton to appear in
the clerk s Office Of the court of law
and chanccry at Norfolk, under the
rules, to be holden for said court on
the first Monday in October, to an
swer to Garrett g. Co., a corporation
on the pleas Of assumption. Damage
100000"
Mr.. Henderson at once sent the pa
pers to Dr. W. J. Murray, the chair
man OF the commission, who turned
them over to Attorney General Lyon
Tor his consideration. The question at
law is, has the firm a right to sue the
commission which represents the
state7 The summons will have to be
answered and either Mr.. Lyon or Mr..
Stevenson, the attorney for the com
mission, will appear on the date named
and make reply. Should this not be
done Judgment would be entered and
the constitution Of the United States
guarantees that each state shall give
full force and credit to the judgments
OF other states. However, the point
will be raised that the firm has no
right to sue the state of South Caro-
lima and therefore the proceeding
should be dismissed. Mr.. Stevenson
will probably file this answer. The
term "irespass" is a blanket one to
cover all claims filed in Virginia.
Refused the Goods.
Garrett & Co., had shipped back to
them about $1,000 Of wines sold the
former state board Of CONTROL This
shipment was sent along with other
shipments amounting to over $780,
600, as was published in The State a.
the time. The firm, however, refused
to take the goods ont Of the depot at
Norfolk and claims damages. The
commission believes that the purchase
was made illegally and the firm
claims that it was made in accord
ance with the law. The decision of
the Norfolk courts will be interesting
as other liquor firms having whiskey
and other supplies returned may be
back Of this rs test case.

NORTHWESTERN COAL FAMINE
PEOPLE PAY FROM $3.50 TO SIS
A TON FOR FUEL.
Increased Demands Made by the Ex-
tension of Railway Lines and Es-
Enlistment of New Industries.

Although the middle Of summer. a Sc
rious coal famine Is felt throughout the
northwestern states. The Northern Pacific,
in Montana, Is obliged to burn Hooking
Valley (Ohio) coal. Notwithstanding siren
uous efforts to secure additional local sup
plies. A Spokane Mont, agent has orders
for 203 cars. but has been able to secure
only nineteen. 1t Is difficult to get any coal
from Canada. as the Canadian government
forbids export of Canadian coal until home
demands are filed Nearly all the north
western coal mines are running day and
night, but are all away behind In their or
ders. A great shortage exists on the Pa
cifc coast. The government has been
obliged to order $4,000 tons sent from Balti-
more to the naval stations on the Pacific
coast. Last winter. when the great coal
famine prevailed in the northwest barns
fences. even floors of houses. were burned
for fuel. That famine was partly broken
by large imports from Australia Japan and
Canada.
This year 1t Is claimed that the entire
product of Australian mines will be needed
at home: also that little coal can be OBJ
tanned from Canada because OF the enor-
nous increase of population in its north
western provinces. making 1t impossible for
the Alberta mines of Canada to supply the
local demand. Last winter the Canadian
Pacific hauled coal 5000 miles from Nova
Scotia to Alberta to help supply the suffer
ing settlers. What the people of the north

are concerned. This official said last night
that the men would demand that in the
event of a settlement all members Of the
union who went on strike be reinstated.

in a position to know the disposition OF

Long ago the authorities were warned
that the coming winter would show a ~
per cent shortage of coal. but 1t looks as 4,
the 10 per cent shortage had already ar.

For one year past no coal lands have been
entered. the President having withdrawn
6s0OO 900 acres of coal land from public
entry. The criminal prosecutions institut-
ed by special agents ambitious to make a

DIVERSION OF TRAFFIC
DECISION DEFINING THE RIGHTS
OF A RAILROAD,

An important decision handed down by
Commissioner Lane. was announced by the
interstate commerce commission TODAY It
involves the right of a railroad to divert
traff1c from one cotton compress to another
which. the commission holds, the carrier
does not possess.
The case was that of the Muskogee Com
mercial Club and the Muskogee Traffic
Bureau against the Missouri Kansas and
Texas railway. 1t appeared from the tes-
timony that the defendant carried cotton
to South McAlester to be compressed, al
though 1t might the more easily have been
compressed at Muskogee. The commission
holds that the defendants rule for COM
preston of cotton in transit results in
undue prejudice against Muskogee. and
that the defendant should grant all the
privileges to one compression point that it
grants to another"
The commission also holds that the fact
that a compress company at South Nc
Alester has another compress at Fort
Smith and threatens. unless the foregoing
preference is given to its compress at South
Nc Alester. to divert its cotton traffic to an
other railroad. does not Justify diScrimina-
ton in the rules or practices of defendant.
The question of compression of cotton
IN transit, says the commission, is not
one with which a railroad may deal en-
urely as 1t sees fit and without respect to
the effect which It's practices have upon
the transportation of cotton. Either the
carrier must publish rate upon uncom-
pressed cotton and another rate upon COM
pressed cotton, and divorce itself entirely
from lhe matter of compression, or else
such compression as is given by the rail-
road becomes subject to the Jurisdiction
OF the commission Where d railroad COM
pany declares policy which allows COM
preston of cotton in transit at the near
est point 1t cannot vary that rule so as to
give certain shippers the opportunity to
avoid II and thereby receive advantage
which is not given to shippers generalIy.''
