WHISKY BRINGS
81, 500 GALLON
AT PRIVATE SALE
Remainder of Three Barrels Is
Water-Sellers Sent to
Prison.

London, Feb. 8.-Alfred Harris Of
the Red Lion hotel, Sutton, paid
81 500 for a gallon of whisky recent
ly. That doubtless would stand as
the record price, but Harris was
defrauded and two men, John Howes
and John Phillips, were convicted of
having. obtained the money under
false pretenses at Surrey Quarter
session.
The testimony showed that Phil
ips offered to sell Harris some
whisky, took him to a place in Old
Kent road, and there in a stable
met Howes, who showed three bar
rels. A piece of thin piping was
then produced and inserted in the
vent peg of one of the barrels and a
quantity of whisky was drawn out.
They all tasted it and found that it
was very good, as also was that pro-
duced in the same way from the
other barrels. Harris paid $500 for
the barrels, it being agreed that Phil
ips should receive the balance OF
$1,000 later, which, he did.
The following day, on further ex-
animation of the barrels it was found
that connected with the vent pegs
were thin tubes which ran in whole
length of the barrels. The tubes
contained about a gallon of whisky.
and the remainder of the barrels
were filled with water.
Phillips was sentenced to three
years. penal servitude and Howes to
three months imprisonment.

And this is no better than Don Sung is
doing for thousands of others. Accept

Give your hens Don and watch re-
suits for one month. II don't find that
it pays for itself and pays you a good
profit besides. simply tell us and your
money will be promptly refunded.

wIlen he read letters of regret from
Senator Hitchcock, Private Secre-
tary Tumulty and several other
prominent democrats, at the time of
the harmony banquet, did not read
what must have been a very inter-
esting message sent by Lieut.. Gov.
Edgar Howard.
Mr.. Mullen, when asked why he
did not read the letter. answered
that he was not the POSTMASTER,
while Edgar Howard insists that the
letter was sent to be read.
Further Sore Spots.
The harmony" dinner developed
further sore spots when Bryan dem
ocrats present awoke the following
day to a realization of the real pur-
port of resolutions passed unani-
mously during the final five minutes.
The resolutions proposed by Mr..
Mullen lauded President Wilson and
Senator Hitchcock and promised
support to their attitude on the
peace treaty, but made no mention
OF MT. bryan or MS campaign
against the president. This was
particularly humiliating to the Bryan
democrats, who originated the din
ner and put their own good demo-
Gratis of their own sort on the toast
list only to find that on the show
down the Hitchcock democrats had
a majority of the crowd in attend
ance.
1t is the opinion of those watch
ing the situation in the democratic
party that this is only an incident
to show that the democratic har-
mony on tap at the banquet has not
left as good taste in the political
mouths of the unterrihed as was ex-
pected when the feast was spread
and that possibly there may have
been a Handwriting on the wall"

Demos Ready to Accept
G. O. P. Reservations

Hitchcock will submit the changes
20 the, president before he will per-
NIT final vote to be taken on ratif-
cation. Unless the president signi-
fes his willingness to deposit ratif-
cation with the modified reserva-
tions, Senator Hitchcock and a score
of other democratic senators are
prepared to join forces with the cir
reconcilables' and prevent ratifca-
ton for a second time.
Hitchcock Is Hopeful.
Senator Hitchcock, leader of the
administration forces in the senate,
was hopeful tonight that the treaty
will be ratified in form the presi-
dent will accept. Senator Hitchcock
indicated that he believed the presi-
dent will accept a modified form of
the Lodge reservation on Article X
if that is the best the democrats can
obtain in the forthcoming senate
battle.
"I think tile presidents letter helps
the situatior in the senate" said
Senator Hitchcock. "He goes fur
ther in it than he has ever before
gone in the matter of reservations" !"
Plan to Cooperate.
Republican and democratic leaders
plan to cooperate in untangling the
parliamentary restrictions which
must be removed from about the
treaty to permit it again to be con-
sidered. Although the first move
will be made at Mondays session,
these parliamentary technicalities
are expected to delay actual debate
until Tuesday or Wednesday.
Aside from the outstanding issues
of the treaty fight itself, the most
prominent subject of discussion
among senators is the letter of Presi-
dent Wilson, made public by Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, the demo-
cratic leader. The presidents re-
newed declaration of opposition to
some of the language of the repub-
lcan reservations was interpreted Ill
different ways.
Fear Breach Widened.
Some declared the letter an un-
compromising reiteration of the
stand taken by the president on the
eve of the November ratifcatio
vote and asserted that publication
of his letter at this time again had
widened the breach between the
democratic and republican senate
forces. Others, protesting to see
new evidences of concession in the
presidents words, predicted an op-
posite effect.
Although the presidents letter
was written before publication of
the statement of Viscount GFrey,
Grey, British ambassador to the
United States, regarding reserva-
tons, in some quarters it was sug-
gested that the letter would not have
been permitted to become public if
the British statesman's views had
resulted in any change in the presi-
dents position.

PALMER WILL NOT
APPEAL OIL LAND
CASESOF S. P. R. R.
Attacks Clifford Pinchot for
Protests to Government
Action.

Washington, Feb. S.-Holding
that it is not the governments duty
to clog the courts with frivolous
and hopeless appeals, Attorney Cen
cral Palmer, in a statement tonlgh:
outlined the basis for the govern
ment's decision against carrying 10
the supreme court the Southern Pa
cific oil land cases, which decision
has been the subject of protest by
Clifford Pinchot. former chief of the
bureau of forestry, in letters to Mr.
Palmer and to President Wilson.
Indisputable evidence, the attor-
ney generals statement asserts, was
presented in the trial of the oil cases
in the lower court that at the time
the tracts in question which are To-
Gated in southern California, were
granted in l892-18o7, the Southern
Pacific Railroad had no knowledge
that the lands were oil bearing. Also
the statement adds, evidence was
produced showing that the Southern
Pacific for years after receiving the
grants had the lands on the market
as agricultural and sold large acre
ages as such. Therefore in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Palmer granting of the
lands, later found to contain oil,
could not be held void on a charge
of bad faith in their acquisition. This
position, it is added, was concurred
in by government attorneys &C
quainted with the cases.
I'm such circumstances. the state
ment continues, mo lawyer would
advise a client to enter an appeal
and any appellate court would con-
slder such an. appeal to be almost
frivolous. | cannot assent to the
doctrine that it is the governments
duty to clog the courts with friv-
olous appeals, or to harass business
in the country by prolonglng litiga-
ton entirely without hope of recov-
cry on the part of the government.
Nothing but the most perverted
could suggest any rela
ton between some cases, involving
oil leases, which | tried some years
ago in Oklahoma for Pennsylvania
clicnts-small independent oil pro-
ducers and this Southern Pacific
litigation. Pinchot's studied effort
to create the impression that these
cases are similar to the Southern
Pacific litigation is cowardly because
he avoids direct charge, and con-
temptible because he seeks to create
a false impression"
