And therecpon the jury took the bull
By the horns, retired and promptly
brought in verdict of Not guilty"
The court demanded that the jury be
poled and every man to answer guilty
or not guilty as his name was called
Each man stood up and answered Not
guilty" Then III court, addressing the
jury, said:
The court am sorry, gentlemen,
you have followed your own judg-
ments and opinions" rather than the
good and wholesome advice which was
given you. God keep my life out OF
your hands. But for this the court
fines you 40 marks man and impris-
onment until paid.

CANADA'S DEALERS MAY
BUY AMERICAN LIQUOR

OTTAWA, Dec. 23.-Reports were
current here that Canadian liquor
dealers might attempt to salvage"
many of the hundreds Of thousands
of gallons Of "red liquor which must
be shipped from the United States be-
fore the Federal prohibition amend
ment becomes effective there Janu.
ary 16.
Whether dealers would seek Amer
lean imports, 1t was said. depended
chiefly on whether they considered it
likely provincial acts prohibiting sale
of liquor would be repealed by the
various governments.
Repeal of Dominion wartime liquor
legislation, which prevented interpro-
vincial traffic, manufacture of liquor
and import, has created a peculiar
situation in which liquor may be
freely imported but not sold because

BREAKFAST TAX
TO Sub" FOR RUM
Tariff on Tea and Coffee Pro.
posed to Compensate for
Revenue Loss on Liquor.

An agitation is developing in wash-
ington today for a tariff on tea and
coffee-a "breakfast-table tax"-to
make up some of the deficit caused
oy loss of revenues from the liquor
traffic.
The United States imports more
than $21 100000 worth Of tea and
coffee monthly, it was estimated. free
OF duty
Tax on imported tea and coffee
was attempted in the last revenue
bill but was defeated.
Proponents of such a tariff argue
ii would do away with necessity for
a soft drink tax
Just how much of tax should be
laid on the imported coffee and tea
is not stated
The United States up to the end
of October this year. imported g.
242,991 pounds Of tea, valued at $15,
262. .0S5, and 1,127 ,331 .354 pounds of
coffee, valued at s214.O79,072. I'm
ports OF both in October totaled 49,
100000 pounds, valued at approxi-
mately s2s 100000.
Taxed at, say a rate of 10 per cent
this would have netted the Govern
ment 81, SOC. 900 in October.
Brought right down to the break
fast table, a 10 per cent duty on q
pound OF coffee retailing at 40 cents
would mean q small fraction of a cent
increase.
Since the country went "dry" there
has been q steady increase In the
coffee importation. Coffee merchants
are stimulating the demand by ad-
vertising campaigns and a boom in
coffee imports is expected to develop.
Twice as much coffee was import
ed in October of this year as com
pared with October, 1918.

High prices, release Of ships used

it was learned, and it is expected
to shatter all records next year.
Predictions that this years total

November's figures, which are the
second highest in history, were: Ex-
ports, $741,ooo, 900: imports, $42s,-

"This does not mean that we are
necessarily smashing records in the

to the fact that prices in many COM
