Judge May Cite
Internal Revenue
Men for Contempt
Attorney Asserts Department
Leyies Taxes on Home.
Made Liquor in Face of
Temporary Injunction.

A. B. Allen, collector of internal
revenue, and his agents may be
cited for contempt OF court as re-
suit of their efforts to collect taxes
under the old revenue laws.
Federal Judge Woodrough granted
temporary injunctiors in almost a
score of liquor cases restraining the
tcveuuc department from levying
taxes on the theory that the revenue
department can't license and collect
tax on the manufacture and sale OF
liquor because the Nolstead act
makes this unlawful.
File Tax Lien.
United States District Attorney
: kinsler was notified yesterday,
however, that the revenue depart
ment had filed tax lien with the
slcrk of the court against the proper
ty of Nick Marino, OLA Pierce street,
to collect $l,667S0. \
]. r. Lones, attorney representing
Marino. will take the case up to
Judge Woodrough and ask that
Allen be either cited ior contempt
or forced to observe the injunction.
Lones obtained an injunction from
Judge Woodrough in the Marino
case July 80. Since then the revenue
department has demanded that Ma
rino pay the tax three times, and
by filing lien on his property has
made him unable to dispose of it,
Lones says.
Admits Liability.
Mr.. Kinsler. who in his official
capacity as United States district
attorney represents the revenue de-
partment, admitted this morning that
the department could be cited for
contempt for ignoring the injunc-
ton.
By tact agreement the injunctions
remain in effect until United
States supreme court decision is
handed down on the matter. Other
federal judges have ruled that the
tax can be collected despite the Vol
stead act, but Judge Woodrough
holds that manufacture and sale ,of
liquor is made unlawful and there
fore cannot be licensed.
Big Sum Involved.
1t is estimated that almost $780,
600 in Omaha alone is involved III
this dispute, awaiting settlement by
the supreme court.
In the Marino case still was
discovered when the Marino resi-
dence caught on fire recently. Ma
rino had rented the place to a man
named Fasterero, but Fasterero dis
appeared and the revenue department
Immediately assessed a tax on Ma
rino, Mr.. Lones says.
