complaint Of Whiskey Concerns in
Federal Court-State Desposi-
tories Named.

L lie state.
Charleston, Fob. 24.-Ta tire Office
Of the clerk Of the United States cir
cult court today papers were filed in
an amended and supplemental bill Of
complaint by the attorneys of the
Wilson Distilling company, Anheus-
erIBusch brewery, Gallagher & Bur-
ton and Jack Cranston e Co.. against
the State dispeasary commissioners
and the banks which are repositories
for the funds Of the commission.
The bill declares thar the plaintiffs
have their only nemeov III court OF
equity and asks the appointment of Il
received as administer upon the af-
fairs Of the State dispcnsary; a re-
straining order TO prevent the COM
missioners from paying out any mou-
cy until authorized by the court; the
appointment of Il master to take tes-
timony and ascertain the claims Of
creditors, paying such as may be au-
thorized by the court, and incidental
ly requiring the commissioners to
make an Hcconntin" to the court for
all money paid out ana received. sale
Of all property, cite. and for such
other relief as nay Ne found neccs-
sary.
The order was signed carly this
morning by Judge Pritchard at Ashe-
Vile and under the order the commits
sioners are required TO answer the ac-
ton al hearing in Asheville on Feb
20, at 10 a. m.
In the bill Of complaint it is alleg-
ed that the commissioners have
wroagfully and unlawfully failed and
refused to pay the just claims of the
plaintiff; that the commissioners are
delaying and trying to defeat the
payments, have denied their trust and
hat they owe any duty to the cred
ors Of the dispensary. have wrongly
and mlawfully exceeded the powers
conferred upon them by law and us
ulpcd and attempted to exercise the
powers Of court, lmlaw fully at
tempted TO amoomtc to themselves eX-
elusive jurisdiction Of all claims
against the disepnsary and funds in
their hands, that these powers and
functions, unlawfully usunped, have
been partially, unfairly amd oppres-
siNely exercised The hearings have
not been desi encd TO ascertain just
liabilities but TO secure evidence for
criminal prosecution Of alleged graf
ters; witnesses have been unlawfully
assembled for the service Of papers
upon them, whilc refusing to pass
just claims; that the commissioners
are attempting to have the act Of
1907 amended so as to l1galiZc the
msurpation of the functions Of the
cuurt and the exercise of these wrong
full claims aad exclusive jurisdiction :
tlrNt they seek to place the funds be-
yond the reach Of this court aAd 9TH
or courts and render it impossible to
have any claims paid, save those that
they see fit TO pay, ana the commits
sioncrs go farther, according to The
complaint, in their last contention
that the commissioners deny the right
Of the plaintiff to have their claims
liti"aItcd in Il court of general juris-
diction and are attempting to make
such denial effectual.

The days session began carly anc
with fair attendance, and the attend
ancc throughout the day was the larg-
est Of the session.
The most important business of the
busiest day of what the veterans de.
clare to have been the most successful
session Of the Irrigation congress
since its organization was crowded
into the thirty minutes just prior to
the noon recess In that brief time
the officers of the congress were de
tcrmined upon ana the resolutions
were adopted; both committee reports
being adopted without word of dis
agreement from the floor
Tho resolutions are strong ana in
tcrcsting. They cmphatically endorse
the policy Of forest conservation and
protection, and give sweeping COM
mendatiOn to the forest service: and
at the same time they declare flatly
and strongly for the creation of "a trib-
unal Of some kind which will have the
power to review the decisions of the
forestry bureau officials upon home
stead entries, or details of forestry
control or regulation, or the rulings
OF the forest officers. This latter res
ulution seems TO support TO very con-
siderable oNtcnt the attitude Of the
critics Of the forestry service. who
