Attomey-GeneraI NuIIifies
 Territorial Revenue Law

District Attorney John Rustgard re ceived a written opinion of Attorney General James C. McReynolds today ill which the latter holds that the ac- ton of the Alaska Legislature in con- lerring duties upon officials Of the Federal government in connection with the collection of taxes and the enforcement of the provisions of the Territorial revenue acts was contrary to the Organic Act. The opinion also holds that United States court cOmmis- sioners, marshals, clerks of court and fish commissioners and their deputies are Federal officials. TO that extent, the Attorney-General concludes the revenue acts of the Alaska Legislature are void and of no effect"
 The opinion of the Attorney-General IS written in response to a request from MT. Rustgard for information as to the legality of the authority con ferred by the Territorial Legislature upon the United States court commis- sioners in connection with the collec- ton of poll taxes and allowing them 15 per cent. for the collection. Also, as to the legality of the law i'm posing taxes upon trades and Occupa- tions in the Territory, and providing that clerks of the court shall issue li- censes to those engaging in the taxed avocations, and imposing duties on other officers.
 The Organic Act provides that no person holding an appointment under the United States shall be a member of the Legislature or shall hold any office under the government of the Ter ritory."
 The Attorney-General says that the question submitted turns on the point as to whether that section of the Or ganic Act was violated by the Terri torial Legislature when 1t passed the poll tax and license tax laws.
 His opinion on all points is against the action of the Legislature.

CHARGE THAT SAVAGE FAMILIES
SELL CHILDREN IN PHILLIP
PINES VERIFIED.
PROBE MADE BY AUDITORS
Secretary Garrison Receives the Find
inas Of Inquiry That Was Carried on
For Months BY Phipps.-lnformants
Names Not Given.

Washington. - Secretary Garrison
had before him a Philippine slavery
report by W. H. Phipps, auditor for
the islands, practically backing up
the startling charges Of Dean Wor-
cester.
It cites details of many cases Of
boys and girls sold into slavery at
prices RANGING from $50 to 800, and
that heads Of savage families sell
their daughters and regard the prac-
tice as a right.
Il have no hesitancy in saying that
think that the charges OF Secretary
Worcester that slavery in the Philip
pines are sustained" says Mr.. Phipps.
The Phipps report is based upon
investigations conducted under the
direction Of the Philippine auditor by
district auditors. 1t is accompanied
by a. list of names Of sixty-seyen per-
sons held as slaves, some being held
outright and some under the so-called
'tdebt" system, the fallacy Of which is
shown by the fact that some of the
slaves so held are more than 60 years
of age and have been held by the
present owners since birth.
All Of the district auditors who
assisted Mr.. Phipps were obliged to
promise their informants that the
source of the information would not
be made public. The names Of the
officials who helped in the prepara-
tion of the report also are withheld.
One investigator stated in his re-
port:
There is considerable traffic in
girls. I personally have had a num-
Der of offers of this kind, and it is a
generally known fact that large per-
-centage of the Chinese who have Fill
rpino wives actually bought them at
stipulated price. A recent instance
in which 1 was offered boys and girls
for the small amount of 20 pesos, 80
pesos and 40 pesos was in August OF
last year at Cebu.'

WHO WILL BE APPOINTED IN
SOUTH CAROLINA is THE
QUESTION?
HAVE TWO VACANT BERTHS
Selections Must Be Made For United
States District Attorney and Marsh
all For the Palmetto State.-look'
cd For In Near Future.

Columbia.-A special from Washing
ton states that the arrival here OF w.
F. Stevenson Of CheraW and other
well known South Carolina men, and
the visit of John Gary Evans to the
White House and that Of Senator
Smith to the department Of justice,
has opened up again the question OF
what is going to be done about the
appointment of district attorney and
a. marshal to succeed Ernest Coch-
ran and J. D. Adams.
What has already transpired in this
matter is now we'll known to persons
in South Carolina and those who are
familiar with what has been done are
closely watching for any move lnci-
eating a. final adjustment Of the stu
alton.
So far a sthe appointment Of dis
trict attorney is concerned both Sena-
tors Smith and Tillman seem satisfied,
each feeling confident, as far as car
Ge learned, that he will get his man,
w. J. Thurmond for Tillman and 2.
+. Weston, for Smith, fixed in the de-
sired place.
REGARDING the question Of the
marshalship, Senator Tillman having
withdrawn the name of J. L. Sims,
would appear to put the matter up to
Senator Smith, but the latter does not
seem inclined to take action just now,
preferring it is presumed to wait IN
I'll the other place is filed.
NhiIe it was believed here that
President Wilson might settle the
matter and send the names Of dis
trict attorney and a marshal to the
senate for confirmation, this course
was not followed and careful inquiry
made at the Offices Of both the South
Carolina senators brought out no new
information.
However, the visit of Mr.. Steven
son to Senator Tillman's office and
the visits of John Gary Evans and
Senator Smith to the White House
and the department Of justice, re-
spectively, give rise to the belief that
something may be looked for in this
matter during the next day or two.
Lexington County Dispensary Board.

Swansea and one at either Leesville
or Ratesburg. The board will meet
again on September 27 to hear argu-
ments of those seeking the dispen-
sary at Batesburg and Leesville in
