Incidentally it develops that &
all-sized war is being waged be-
len the refiners and their patrons
Ie outcome Of which is surrounded
with uncertainty. y
The demand for sugar became SC
stteng that "irrevocable letters OF
credit" were devised. The refiners
required that these letters be -sub.
mitted with orders for sugar. The
"irrevocable letter of credit" is said
to be new device.
1t is letter from a bank, backed
by actual security, that will guaran-
tee payment for the sugar as agreed.
1t tied up the purchasers money.
Refiners, it is said, have refused to
depart from the terms guaranteed by
The ''irrevocable letter." If patrons
should insist on departure and if
jhey found ways to enforce their in
istence they would be in danger of
being refused sugar in the future
rom the refiners, a venture which
ew would care to risk. Apparently
he big refiners have the upper
hand and are to enforce payment for
he big supplies that are purchased
n anticipation of continuing de-
nand for the candies and drinks.
Much of the sugar is being sold at
oss now averaging five cents a
ind.
Another circumstance that makes
difficult at this time to halt the
downward slide is the approach of
he beet sugar yield, which will sup
ply large quantities that will be-
Eome available for the western

harper competitive stage.
For some time the sugar market
has been on the verge Of wavering.

immortal part OF man: life; human
being.
Dead load-AcOnstant motionless
body"
Mr.. Nevin tells Commissioner Roper
that II the internal revenue bureau
classes a motor hearse N an automo-
bile, as held under Article 10, excise
tax regulations, II must hold that
''bodyp-the material substance as
distinguished from the soul or vital
principal as a person. human being,
endowed with life. with a soul-the
spiritual, rational and immortal part
of man.
Not Passenger Car.
Article IS of the law reads" said
Mr.. Nevin, "that-It applies to all
automobiles primarily designed for
carrying persons, including passen-
gercars. taxicabs, autobuses, sight
seeing cars.
I'VE agree that the classification Is
applicable to the above-named vehi-
cies. as they are designed. constructed,
and adapted to and for the purpose
of carrying 'persons'-human beings
who are endowed with life, motive
power, mental faculties; and they
may extract pleasure from this
method OF transportation, going from
place to place as their inclination or
financial status may dictate.
ION the other hand. we contend that
motor hearse is not passenger
car. nor a taxicab, nor an autobus, nor
sightseeing car. 1t is an automo-
bile truck or wagon primarily de-
signed, constructed. and adapted for
the specific purpose of carrying box
or coffin containing a 'body'-the
material organized substance as dis
.inguished from the soul or vital
Drincipal--from one given point to
another either from a house to a
cemetery, from a church to a ceme-
terry. or from an undertaking es-
tablishment to cemetery"
BODY IL weaa Weight.
Then. Mr.. Nevin states that a body,
Is an inamimate substance, without
yolition or reason Of it's own. and,
when in a box or coffin, must be
handled, transferred, transported. or
carried by the main strength Of some
person or persons, as is the case with
any other kind of baggage, freight
or property which may be a dead
weight"
"A box, or coffin, containing a body,
is SO much baggage, or freight or
property" Mr.. Nevin pleads. Trans
poration companies give 1t such rec
oznizition. box or coffin contin-
ing a body is not carried in a day
coach or Pullman, but in the baggage
car, which is exclusively for the car
rage Of baggage or other property
for which there would be no place
In a passenger car.
1--WE contend that body Is not a
person; that a body enclosed in a
hox or coffin, placed within a motor
hearse, is as so much baggage or
freight; that IT. the body. can OBJ
tain no pleasure because of it's
method of transportation: that IL Is
possessed OF no mental faculties; that
IL has no reason of it's own; that 1t
cannot dictate where 1t shall go nor
how II shall be carried, transferred or
transported, but that IL must go
without volition on its part-as any
other piece OF baggage, or freight, or
dead load, to such place as shall be
dictated by some person or persons.

Money Raised In Drive Here
Purchases Building At
9th and e Streets.

Purchase OF the civil service build
ing. corner OF Eigth and e streets
northwest, for conversion into one OF
the largest Salvation Army instttu-
lions in America, was announced tc-
day by Col. II. E. Holz. OF Philadei-
phia. officer in charge of the Atlsn
tic coast province of the army.
Colonel Holz announced the pur-
chase OF the building when he sd
dressed the Kiwanis Club at their
luncheon today on the roof OF the
Washington Hotel. The purchsse
price was approximately 100000
cash.
The announcement OF the acquisi-
ton OF this building fulfiiis the
promise of the Salvation. Army Of
ficials that 40 per cent of the money
raised in Washington would rema,-
in the city"

Colonel Holz explained that the
building would be entirely remodel
ed; that the plans in mind compre
hended special accommodations for

ties. in addition there will be cluo

six months. as the Government viii
use it until about June I.
Colonel Holz, who was the guest
OF honor OF the kiwanis Club, pair
graceful compliment to the bus
ness men attending the luncheon
when he referred to the part thes
had played in raising the money fer
the building:
SIT gives me great pleasure" he
said, "to announce to the business
men of Washington and all others
who so wonderfully supported the
Salvation Army in its 1919 campaign
for funds, that we are using the bulk
of the money raised in Washington
entirely for the benefit of Washing
ton.
1--WE know that aside from the warm
personal support Washington has
given to the army, the Nations Capt.
tai is a spot from which radiate daily
Impressions which go to the utter
most corners of the United States. If
there were no other reason than that,
the Salvation Army should have a
splendid equipment here. and we are
all very glad that the wonderful re-
Spouse to our 1919 campaign in WASH
ington made it possible to spend right
here in Washington the money which
was raised by Washington's business
men, aided by the splendid co-opera-
ton of the Government department
employees"
In addition to Colonel Hole, the
club was host to Colonels Barker and
Parker, Salvation Army officials from
national headquarters in New Yorl.
and Commandant Elmer Johnson. in

tiers.

THEIR CASE OF TEA
PROVES REAL THING
JeweIer Gives Two Men Held
BY Police $3.50 Pin for
Disappointment.

How would you like to buy a case
of whiskey. only to find after you
pulled the corks from the bottles that
they contained cold tea?
Probably be rather upset, ct?
Well, that is what happened yes
terday to Harry Fisher, a jeweler at
Ninth and T. streets northwest, &C
cording to the police.
AS a result of the alleged deception,
Franklin J. Nalley. 1907 f street
northeast, and Jack II. Cunningham.
925 II street northeast, were arrested
by Detective Sergeants Frank Baur
and Thomas Sweeney, and today are
being held at Police Headquarters.
Fisher says he will not prefer any
charge against the men. but the de-
tectives are comforting with agents
of the Internal Revenue Bureau. with
view of learning whether the ac-
cused can be held for removing
stamps from bottles which had con-
tanned whiskey and placing them on
others containing tea.
The detectives say both men con-
fessed to getting a scarf pin, valued
at $3.50, for the case of cold tea, and
that they later exchanged the pin
for two bottles of real" liquor.

Van Schaick.
He said that this was IAN alleged
application of Mrs Rhodes to be di-
rector of primary instruction some
time before l became a member of
the board
That incident occurred the week
of the death of her husband. Major
! Rhodes. She has always said that

she would be the, first to recognize
the grave improperly of this"
II know Mrs. Rhodes to be a most
estimablc lady" said Senator Hal ri
son.
DR.. Van Schaick declared that Su-
perintendcnt Thurston had never
made an official recommendation
that Assistant Superintendent Bruce
be dropped. The board president
stated that the superintendent was
charged under the law with the eN
elusive right OF appointing. demotins
and discharging teachers.
Harrison's yernacular.
Senator Harrison. after establish
ing the fact that the Board of Edu-
cation, apparently in violation of the
statute had assumed Jurisdiction in
the Bruce case. and taken 1t out of
Thurston's hands, asked, Don't you
think the superintendent may have
thought the cards were stacked
against him? ] see you don't under
stand my language" stated Har-
rison and caused a general laugh.
II get you all right" laughed Van
Schaick.
He admitted that the board prob
ably should have invited Thurston to
all of its conferences regarding
Bruce. but called attention to the
fact that the case had been pending
for years and the general lineup
was well understood.
1.-THE general attitude of Superin-
tendent Thurston was to sidestep the
Bruce case" said Van Schaicik I'm
my mind Bruce has mind of su-
perior excellence"
Senator Harrison questioned the
board president at length regarding
the purchase of textbooks. He stated
that Superintendent Thurston had
called his attention to a criticism Of
the Catholic church in one OF the
books, which was an inaccurate
statement of fact. DR.. Van Schaick
said that he found other counter-bal-
ancing facts In the book and had
taken no action to have II eliminated
from the District schools. He stated
that there never had been any fric-
ton between the board and the SUI
perintendent as to textbooks
Reference was made TO tho Moons
case during the hearing, and II prob
ably will be investigated at the hear
ing tomorrow.

The
Winner
Of
Limerick No. 81

The last line to this little limerick
rhyme, describing condition that
has attracted the notice OF many
tourists in days before the Jupiter
Pluvius Moisture Monopoly was form
cd. is the work of A. u. Aceo-pro-
nounce II to rhyme with Casey. who
puts in tho busy part of his day as
chief schedule clerk in the passenger
department of the Southern Railway
Company, and writes limericks nights
at 1910 ADAMS Mill road.
It would seem from the answers to
this and other linericks that GER
tain 1st Of July In tho year 1919 and
the possible exudations of moisture
at the national conventions OF 1920
doomed large in the minds OF many
American citizens. Some give Maine
I'M as moro hopeless than the rest OF
tho country, and some expressed
homes and set the demi3ohn out to
air. Mr.. Acee struck middle course
with the truly Yankee laconic, at Is
and Il amt" His name sounds like
the New England pronunciation of
that good old name Asa which they
call "Asy." Wonder IL he's Yankee.
At least he's 800 ahead.
The idea of Maine being wet, ac-
oordinp to the 1920 definition of that
about-to- obsolete word, brought
about a bushel OF limerick lines with
tho rhyme on "brain"--water on the
brain, storm in the brain" etc; and
"insane," and a number which would
have the old codger asking IL you
