TIGANI-AVOLOS
CASE CONTINUED

United States District Attorney
James II. Hughes and Prohibition
Agent w. Truxton Boyce were given
decided surprise this morning, at
the preliminary hearing, in the Fed
eral Building, Ninth and Shipley
streets, OF James Tigani and Tony
D'Avolos, when State Bacteriologist
Watson, who had made an analysis OF
a bottle OF supposed whisky, seized
by the officers, December g, when the
prisoners. were arrested on a charge
OF transporting whisky" testified
that his analysis showed no signs or
whisky. He said the contents OF the
bottle was grain alcohol and was not
whisky
Mr. Hughes withdrew from the
room and consulted with Or. Watson,
following which he was recalled Mr..
Hughes endeavOred to show that the
contents OF the bottle was a form OF
whisky" but did not succeed in get
ting such = statement although Dr.
Watson said the contents of the bot
tie was intoxicating
Motion was made by J. Frank Ball,
attorney for the defense, that the
case be dismissed, as the warrants
stated that the men had transported
whisky This was vigorously Op-
posed by Mr.. Hughes, who declared
the men had violated several sections
OF the Volstead Act, even though the
seized liquor might not be whisky.
United States Commissioner Cam,
before whom the case was being
heard, stated that he would continue
the hearing until Wednesday morning,
at 10 o'clock, as he wished to learn
for himself. some Of the disputed
points in the law.
The case was bitterly fought from
the beginning and frequent tits be-
tween the District Attorney and the
counsel for the defense enlivened the
hearing
Prohibition Agents Mcmahon and St.
Clair, OF Philadelphia. who secured
the evidence and made the seizure,
testified. but contradicted themselves
repeatedly.
During gthe proceedings. Miss
Mealey, stenographer for Mr. Hughes,
became III and was compelled to leave
the room.
Mr.. Ball stated that he was anxious
that the testimony be taken by a
stenographer and asked permission
OF the commissioner to secure one
from his office. which was allowed.
Prohibition Director BOyce testi-
fed, as did Agent Howard, that no
record had been made OF the quantity
Of liquor seized and neither were
able TO state just how much liquor
was taken.
Mr.. Boyce, in reply TO questions
from Mr.. Ball, stated that IL was ri
dlculous TO expect the agents to open
packages and check up contents" as
he held the only key to the storage
room and no one else could possibly
make way with any OF the liquor
without his knowledge.

LAW BY u. S.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9i.-The House Of
Commons has passed a license Dill
protecting the dyestuffs industry OF
Great Britain from German aggres-
sion. according TO cable advices Just
received by the American Chemical
Society.
This action, which is regarded as
likely 90 have an important influence
on similar legislation now before
Congress, was taken in view OF the
critcal situation confronting the
chemical aad dye interests Of Great
Britain, Or. NJ. o, Forster, treasurer OF
the London Chemical Society, recently
announced that German dyes valued
at i,5OO,000 pounds (s22,OOOOO) equiv.
alent roughly TO one years supply al
pre-war rates had been imported into
Great Britain since the armistice and
were now stored In Liverpool.
"The dye industry" said, he, was
at a standstill. Last week the Brit
ish Dyestunfs Corporation had TO dis
miss six hundred men, and the Ma
tional Dyes Company had closed down
its three factories"
This condition In England was
brought about by a decision OF Jus
tee Sankey which removed the ban
againts impOrtations OF dyestuffs into
Great Britain more than a year ago.
The government had not tried TO OBJ
tain the repeal OF this decision, al
though many authorities regarded IL
as not in accordance with the law and
the facts.
According 10 a bulletin OF the Amer
lean Chemical Society issued today,
the passage OF the Longworth Bill by
the American Congress, would be OF
great aid 10 the American dye indus
try, the development OF which has
been crippled by the uncertainty OF
legislation, as large quantities OF
German dyes are now coming on the
American markets. The situation also
Is becoming more serious because Of
the uniilcation Of the German dye in
terests. and the formation OF a spe-
oial organization In Germany for the
exploitation OF nitrogen products,
notably nitrate OF soda, used in dye
manufacture and other heterogeneous
compounds used in fertilizer, and
