FAMOUS DISPENSARY
LAWSUIT IS DECIDED
SOUTH CAROLINA WINS CON-
TEST TO KEEP FUNDS
Case Involving Over 100000 from
Sale of Whisky Is Decided for
State After Long
Fight

WASHINGTON. April 1.-The IA
nous South Carolina dispensary case
involving the disposition of about $780,
900 dispensary funds held by the state
dispensary commission, was decided by
the supreme court of the United States
today in favor of the commission, the
opinion being written by Justice
White.
The case was instituted by the Will
son Distilling company and the Fleisch-
mann company in the federal circuit
court for the district of South Carolina
to collect debts contracted by the state
in the purchase of liquor in the state
from 1892 to 1907, while the dlspensary
system was in vogue.
The commission, consisting or w. j.
Murray, John McSween and Avery Pat"
ton was appointed in 1907, when the
state resolved to go out OF the liquor
business The commission was empow-
cred by the legislature to collect all
moneys due the state and pay all OF It's
debts.
At the time the suits were instituted
about $500, 900 had been collected ana
there was still about 100000 due. Bills
for something over 100000 were pre-
scented by liquor dealers, and when the
COMMISSION QtCIlllSd " PAy
promptly as the creditors considered 1t
desirable they brought suits for their
collection.
Conspiracy Alleged
In their petition they alleged the
members of the commission had en-
tered into a conspiracy to hold the
funds for their own selfish purpose, IN
support of which assertion they de-
clared the money was deposited N
banks in which members of the COM
mission were officers or stockholders
On the other hand the commissioners
alleged a coalition among the creditors
to collect excessive sums, and assert
ed they had only taken the necessary
precautions of investigation before
making payment of any liabilities that
might be justly due.
The commission resisted the SUIT on
the ground that it was proceeding
against the state itself and that the
commission was court and not SUB
ject to injunction.
The circuit court overruled both or
these pleas, placed the dispensary
funds in the hands of a receiver and
granted an injunction against the COM
mission prohibiting it from disposins
of the funds in it's possession. sIhls
opinion was affirmed by the federal
circuit court of appeals for the tourta
circuit.
The decision of that court was re-
versed today by the United States su-
preme court.
