Kentucky Distillers, Ex-
pecting U. S. Supreme
Court to Lift Ban, Pre-
pare to Move Whisky
5000 Freight Cars Wait
Armed Federal Guards TO
Patrol Trains in Event
Stock Is Transported
Special Corrcspondence

Special Correspondence
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 7.-On sid
ings near bonded warehouses in Ken
lucky 5000 empty freight cars are be-
ing held to ship out of the state &c.
$360,000000 in anticipation by rail-
road administration officials that the
Supreme Court Of the United States
will lift the prohibition ban to-mor-
row.
These cars will be loaded as fast as
revenue stamps can be handed out at
the custom house. Special guards will
make the journey with each train. But
the amount of whisky to be shipped
is so tremendous that Owsley Brown,
chairman Of the distillers' committee,
doubts if 5000 cars will transport all
Of it in time. The internal revenue
collectors office here doubts if suffi-
cient deputies can be obtained to COM
plete the stamping of this great guam
tity.
Owners of the whisky will take no
chances Of the liquor being drained
from barrels between Louisville and
its destination. Each train of whisky
will carry six heavily armed guards,
who will patrol it's top while it is in
motion and the ground nearby when it
stops.
Federal Guards Arrive
Mr.. Brown said tonight that at least
95 per cent of the liquor will go out
of the state during the brief period be
fore January 16 if transportation fa-
cilities are sufficient
Neither Mr.. Brown nor other dis
tillers would hazard a guess relative
to what step they would take if the
Supreme Court upholds the present
law.
Six special representatives of the
| United States railroad administration
arrived tonight from Washington to
superintend the loading, and these
agents will have the selection of the
special guards, in cooperation with the
local railroad detectives, who are to
make the journey with each train. 1t
is planned to send at least thirty cars
to each train, and each car will con-
tain $50 barrels of whisky.
AS each gallon of the liquor will re-
suit in a tax of $640 being paid to the
government and the market value of
the whisky is 50 gallon in addition
to the tax, it will have a value of S8.4C
gallon from the standpoint of the
government
Each Carload Valued at $4,000
1t is figured that each barrel con-
tains forty gallons, making a total
value of 1885 barrel, $5O,4OO a car, or
$1,512,000 a train load OF course,
distillers place much greater value
on the product, because of inflated

Special CorYsspondencs

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 7.-Federal
Judge Faris has indicated that he will
be disposed to admit no further inter
ventions tomorrow or thereafter in
the injunction suit which he decided
Friday in favor Of distillers, permitting
the sale of whisky.
Yesterday he admitted thirty-four
retailers and wholesalers as interven-
ors. The alternative for others whose
petitions to intervene may be denied
would be an independent suit, which
might cause delay in their authoriza-
tion to offer their wares.
Judge Faris said to a reporter that
he was "sick and tired of the whole
business"
Meanwhile St. Louisans arc buying
the visible supply of whisky rapidly.
In their petitions the five distillers
had valued their stocks on hand at
$414,830. Three of the FIVE said that
in little more than twenty-four
hours their sales had totaled 1895, 900.
One firm said that it had obtained
$250,O00 for 5000 gallons of whisky
and 5000 gallons Of wine. The other
two said that they were "too busy" to
check up.
Much Of the stock was taken by
saloonkeepers, whose customers at
tackled it with the same eagerness
which they themselves had shown in
