Rotterdam Hans, who ships be-

tie side line, which consisted OF i'm
porting one case OF Schnapps on
each OF his trips. From what Hans
told US OF his experience with the
last shipment. the abandonment Of
his business does not appear TO be
such a great tragedy. He says that
the last case OF Schnapps he
brought over he expected to sell
FOR 1880, but after he had sold 10
bottles The customs eaieeFs, who
believe that duty comes before
Measure, consumed one-third OF the
remainder 10 appraising its value,

To Prohibit Sale
OF German Liners

WASHINGTON. Feb 20.-The SEN
ate commerce committee today ordered
favorably reported Chairman Jones bill
German passenger liners, except as
may hereafter be provided by congress-
While the committee hearing was in
progress, counsel for the shipping board
appeared before Associate Justice Bailey
in the District of Columbia supreme
court, to urge that William Randolph
Hearst, on whose taxpayer petition a
temporary injunction against the sale
has been issued should be placed un-
der $1,000, 600 bond to cover possible
losses to the government due to the
tying up of the craft by legal proceed
ings. They estimated the daily pros
pective loss at $4,000 and also pointed
out that contract to sell the Sewanee
for $1,000 900, held up by the injunc-
ton, expired today.
Counsel for Mr.. Hearst contended
that only nominal bond should be re-
auired as board officials told congress
all bids had been rejected and that
no sale would be made without specific
permission of congress,
Mr.. Hearst sued, it was stated, not
for his personal gain, but in the public
interest to prevent loss/to the govern
ment, and counsel added that bond of
IS, 600 900 required of a single taxpayer
would prevent public spirited persons
in\future from applying to the courts
in similar cases. Justice Bailey said
