Test Case of Ammu-
 hilton Seizure

Suspectiog that Sam Ilitzky, a mer- chan, at TIA c avenue was about to transport ammunition Co Mexico, troopers of the ninth cavalry today ou the order of c. F.. Brenuermsn, spa cial agent of the department of Ju tice seized nine cases of Mauser riffs car tridges in that store and took them to headquarters of the regiment
 Ili,zky had ten csses in the store whicn he had recently received. and the agent left one case which had been opened. The merchant ssys he canno, understand how the govern ment can seize ammunition from his shelves and leave practically carload '. of ammunition on the shelves and in the wsreh ousas o! oths. stores in the city.
 MT. Brennermsn said: "I took this actio on the advice Of the United States district attorney. it being the desire of the department to make a test case under q re zen. decision Of the United States Supreme curt. as to whether or not ammunition can be seiz ia this msnner. Another cause for the seizure is that Ilitzxy has not been used until quite rec sntly to hand ling ammunition of this character, and there was suspicion connected with his purchase, ss the snmuiition is exactly the sam, kind csed oa the other side of the line by the consti!u.' tionslists."
