Shall imitation whisky be marked

soon be decided-onee more finally
by President Taft
Something over 10 per cent OF all

States is neutral spirits colored and
favored TO initiate that article. About

are distilled each year. About $4,000

The neutral spirits can be made from

Of whisky produced each year is sold
by the distillers TO the rectifers; SO

market contains some whisky, & larg-

against the governments enforcement
OF the pure food law. The history OF
this war Is one OF the most remark
able in the history OF any effort by
the government to make its laws eff
fective. Three times an opinion has
been handed down by an attorney
general OF the United States, and
twice by a president OF the United
States and twice by federal judges
All these decisions were unfavorable
TO the distillers.
When Taft became president the
effort to secure an executive interven'
ton was renewed and was successful
| During the second week in March the
case was reopened by hearing al
the White House, and on April final
arguments were presented at spe-
cial hearing before Solicitor General

When Mr.. Bowers makes his report

This fight OF the distilling interests
began even before the pure food Law

II is the boast OF Warwick NJ. Hough

ests which he represented. were FOL

Hough is still in charge.
The first decision that imitation
whisky was imitation whisky was rem
dered in 1906 BY DR.. II. W. Wiley
chief chemist OF the department
OF ayr culture; Mr.. Carey, OF thu
treasury department, and s. y
d. North, now director OF the census
Another decision was by board o

duct, and upheld Wiley in his conten-
ton that the imitation article ought
TO be SO marked.
Mr.. Hough and the distilling inter
ests asked for rehearlng OF the ase.
and Il was reheard. After wh.-e
Attorney General Bonaparte gave an
other opinion the same as his first.
The distilling interests then sought
relief In the courts and asked the
government to cooperate In a test
case. Thereupon the agricultural de-
partmeRt seized several barrels OF
whisky belonging TO the Clark Dis
filling Co. in Washington, d. c.
Meantime the internal revenue d.
vision OF the government became a
party TO the fight. Solicitor Hayes for
that department formulated certain
regulations as 10 the branding OF col
ored distillate and ii became neces-
sary for Attorney General Bonaparte
again TO intervene. Mr.. Hayes has
since become a partner in the firm OF
Mr. Hough. The regulations which
were drawn by Mr.. Hayes were not
accepted by the attorney general. and
a new solicitor drew new regulations
which required an imitation whisky
10 be so marked. That was July l.
1908
For the trial OF their test case re
sulting from the seizure OF Clark s
whisky. the distillers sought U. S
Judge Thompson OF the Cincinnati
district, where most OF the distilled
/ article Is made Locations did not
help. for the application for an injunc
ton was peremptorily refused by
Judge Thompson.
Then the distillers went 10 that 9th
er home of distilled products, Peoria
! H. They sought Judge Humphrey
whose name was connected with the
case against the beef packers -st CHI
cago. Judge Humphrey also refused
an Injunction. Both judges decided
along the lines laid down in Bona
parties opinions.
1t looked like defeat for the distill
ing crowd. The Clark people in Wash
! ington went 10 the secretary of agri
| culture and offered 10 plead guilty
and pay their fine. Geo. 3. Lester
general counsel for the Fleischmar
people, disagreed with Mr.. Hough and
withdrew his connection with the
cases. II began to look as II the

DRAGON KIDS
WIN HARD GAME
CFrom Mondays Advertiser.l
c. A. O., 2; Aalas, o.
N. @. H., 10; Fort shafter 7.


In hard.fought game yesterday az
ternoon at Aala Park the Chinese a. Z.
defeated the Aalas by a score Of > to .,
thus winning the championship of the
FIRST series of the Cupid League. One
uf the largest crowds was present 10
witness the contest, of which probably
one-half were sons from the land of the
dragon. In the second game, between
the Fort Shafter nine and the n. Il. H.,
the local boys won by a score of 10 to 4.
There was probably never so much
excitement in n baseball game this year
as that which was shown in the first
game yesterday. From beginning to
end the game was full of roofing and
cheering from the thousands of wild
fans. There was great interest attach
ed to this game, as the Aalas are cham
pions of the second series, and every
body was anxious to see whether the
dragonlets would win out and gain the
right to play of the championship of
the league.
Now that the G. A. G. team has won
out in the first series they will play
series with the Aalas for the entire
championship of the league, best tive
out of three. This series will probably
| start next Sunday.
The Fort Shafter nine made a won
derfully good showing in the second
game. They made il hard for the Ma
tional Guard boys all the way through
and there were times when it looked as
though they might even win.
Bolun pitched u remarkably good
game for the road-pounders. Consider
ing the class that he was up against
he kept the hits well scattered anc
worked like Trojan from start to fin
ish without firing or getting ratified al
! any stage of the game.
| Bushnell and Soares, the regular bat
terry of the twice'a-year kids, were moi
in as good form as usual. 1t is true
they won their game, but they might
have held the losers down to fewel
runs if they had not INDUCED in 4;
slight dose of overconfdence.
| The first game was most certainl,
the game of the day and of many days
so far as that goes. There were Chi
nese fans galore out to root for thu
Che Bui kidlets, and the air was full
| of dragons and other emblems, not I,
mention much noise when the Q. A. Cs
finally won out by a close score after
very exciting game.

Cooper Makes Statement.

When interviewed yesterday after
noon, Mr.. Cooper stated that he had
acted entirely on his own initiative in
this matter, according to instructions
received from the two men he repre-
sented. He stated that while there
was little risk in sail to Pearl Har-
Dor. something might happen to the
yacht, and in that case the men he
represented would be stuck for their
share of the note they had endorsed.
He also admitted that, should the
yacht Hawaii have been put up for
sale. he had instructions from his
father to use his own discretion as to
purchasing the yacht.
Mr.. Cooper stated that while he
would not have deemed 1t advisable to
take legal steps in the matter. he
would have taken steps to prevent the
yacht Hawaii from going on the ex-
cursion, had the note not been taken
up and the yacht thus turned over to
the yacht club.
