TELLS PRESIDENT
WHAT WHISKY IS
Ruling of Solicitor General Bow
ers Is Distinct Victory for
BLENDED Distilleries
Addition of Harmless Coloring or
Flavoring Ingredients Is Con-
sistent With Term Blend

WASHINGTON. June 7-Lloyd W.
Bowers, solicitor general of the United
States, today submitted to President
Taft his opinion as to what the term
whisky means in law
In effect, Solicitor General Bowers
holds, after discussing at great length
what the term whisky" meant at the
time of the passage Of the pure food
law, that the public does not consider
that added coloring or fiavoring matter
can make whisky out of what other
wise is not whisky. Whisky is re-
garded generally and naturally as hav-
ing flavor and properties of it's own.
There Is no more reason for saying
alcohol becomes whisky because col
ored and favored like some true whis-
ky than for saying that alcohol be-
comes brandy because colored or flav-
ored like some brandy" he said.
COLORING OR FLAVORING
''On the other hand. the mere addi-
tion of harmless coloring or favoring
matter to what is previously whisky
does not destroy its whisky character
unless such addition unduly dilutes or
affects the essential properties of the
whisky
Whisky having been in all its his
tory extensively and variously colored
and favored by addition OF extraneous
matter, such coloring and favoring
can not be considered illegitimate or
Incompatible with the name whisky.
The United States pure food law also
provides in terms that the addition of
harmless coloring or fiayoring only is
consistent with the term blend
POPULAR FORM OF BEVERAGE
One Of the most important matters
from practical view is whether a
mixture of an admitted whisky with
neutral spirits or alcohol may be called
whisky" said Bowers. Such mixtures
have been made most extensively for a
long period, and have become a most
popular form of beverage both in the
United States and England.
ut is true that a larger quantity of
these mixtures than Of straight whisky
was consumed during the last 30 years
or more"
Solicitor General Bowers holds that
the name whisky has no different SCOPE
whether it be used as drug or as a
beverage.

LOAN OF SI,250, 900 MADE
TO BREAK UP A RIVAL
Testimony Shows Scheme of the
Late H. o. Hayemeyer

NEW YORK, June 7.-Eyidence that
the late II. o. Havemeyer, formerly
president of the American sugar re-
fining company, issued orders by which
a loan of s1,250.000 was made to the
Pennsylvania sugar refining company
was introduced today in the suit of the
Pennsylvania company for $40. 900 GOO
damages from the American company.
It is through this loan, the Pennsyi-
vania company alleges, that the Ameri-
can sugar refining company obtained
control and was enabled to discon-
tinue the operation of the Pennsylvani MIA
company.
The San Francisco call., 1909-06-08

his argument, however, was the con-
tention that the law was invalid be-
cause it did not provide for primary
tickets for electors who had not taken
on the legal character of political
parties. and because it compelled inde-
pendents to nominate by petition.
Gator, in support Of the demurrer and
the direct primary law, addressed his
arguments to the briefs of the oppo-
nents rather than to their moral argu-
ments. Touching Deering's main con-
tention Gator argued that the legisla-
ture had reasonably exercised the con-
stitutional right to impose the tests and
conditions touching participation in
primary elections by the terms Of the
act of which Deering complained.
ARGUMENT BY GATOR
In effect. Gators contention was that
the legislature. in declaring that
electors who had complied with certain
prerequisites or by combination at a
former election had arrived at speci-
fed status. had only prescribed a
reasonable regulation. designed to pro-
tect the state rather than to protect
political parties.
Inasmuch as those electors who have
no partisan organization have the
simple and direct method Of nominating
by petition. the direct primary law does
not provide for nonpartisan ballots TO
be voted at the primary election To
provide otherwise would be to put a
premium upon a hopeless numbering of
the primary elections by piece clubs,
which could not expect to elect any
body to office, and would serve only to
increase the public expense without
public benefit.
CITES SALINAS CHARTER
The other contentious of the enemies
Of the direct primary law went down
completely under Gators logical argu-
ment, backed by numerous authorities.
In answer to the contention that the
primary election law must embrace all
municipalities, Gator cited the Hill case,
which arose in Salinas. The Salinas
charter provided that the polls should
be closed at sunset. The general Law
directed the closing of the polls at 5
o'clock in the afternoon. The election
officials, ignorant of the local pro-
visions, closed the polls according to
the general law, and the supreme court
held that the election was invalid be-
cause the charter law was superior to
the general law. He also called the at
tention of the court and Deering friend
Of the court. 10 the fact that the San
Francisco charter had expressly adopt
ed the general law.
At the conclusion of the arguments.
Chief Justice Beatty, after being as
sured by President Gator that the cleo
tion commission must have the de-
cision Of the court within two or three
weeks. announced that the opinion of
the court would be handed down not
later than three weeks from yesterday.
