result OF the lax enforcement OF the

been the internal revenue bureaus
ruling for years. Presumably Con-

cision as to what constitutes an in

In Baltimore. When Congress de.
fines what constitutes an Intoxicating

violates the law. II the court deci-

may find II necessary to make whole

furnished the defendant company with
labor and materials OF various kinds
for the prosecution of its enterprise
and receiving no pay. sued out a writ
OF attachment some time ago against
certain chattel property believed to
belong TO the company. The attempted
execution OF the writ showed that the
property In question had been alien
ated by the defendant company under

corporation appeared In court Tues
day as an intervenor. and the real
owner Of the property. II was shown
BY the testimony that the Hector
Mines Development Company had
hypothecated the property described
in the writ of attachment year or
more ago.
The court held that the claim of the
plaintiffs in both cases were valid in
law and ought to be satisfied. but that
no recourse was open TO them to en-
FORE collection for the reason that
the defendant company was witno.it
