Washington, July -21-Dissatis-
faction with negotiations of the Will

from Great Britain and we could not
make good job of it,"
His conference with the British
ambassador made May IL, 1921, Mr..
Mellon said, was held at the state

Secretary Hughes.
What did ambassador Geddes say
for extension of time for payment?'
Senator Lafollette OF Wisconsin ask
ed.
I've did not go far" the secretary
replied, there were really no nego-
tiations. 1t was just preliminary
conference and it was the basis for
future negotiations.
Senator Reed Democrat, Mississip-
pi referring to the letter to the Brit
ish ambassador of May 1921 asked
Mr.. Mellon if he desired to modify
his statement yesterday that he felt
bound by an arrangement made by
Wilson for deferment of interest.
''I do not say whether morally we
are bound until 1 examine the docu-
ments which 1 have not DONE" said
Mr.. Mellon, ''I do not see how in face
of the arrangement agreed upon in
which foreign governments were ad-
vised of deferred payment we can at
this date change and insist on inter-
est payment before the date in 1922
agreed upon.
I'm refunding I would consider it
my duty to do that which was to

Hundreds of Cases In the State

CoNNOR AWAITS DECISION
(By Max Abernethy)

Raleigh, July 21.-Judge Henry G.
Connor is not expected to render a
decision in the Volstead tax cases re-
Gently tried before him in Federal
court here until an opinion is hand
ed down by the United States Su-
act.
There are hundreds of the cases
now on the docket in which North
Carolinians will, if the supreme
courts opinion comedies with the
Interpretation placed upon the act by
prohibition enforcement officials. be
forced to pay the tax to the collector
of internal revenue despite the fact
that the judge and the jury held
them guiltless of manufacturing or
selling liquor. Judge Connor's refus
al to render a decision in advance of
the supreme court means that de-
PENDANTS who are relying upon the
courts will not be forced to pay the
money to the collectors office in the
charges against them are thrown out
-rt officials.
But if the departments interpreta-
tion of the volstead law was follow
ed defendant might be acquitted by
a jury on charge of manufacturing
the tax or fine as prescribed by the
whiskey and still be compelled to pay
Federal act if in the opinion of even
n rfxy
the court had erred in acquitting the
defendant.
Judge Connor did not like this pro-
vision of the law. 1t naturally work
ed a great hardship on persons who
had the means to resist the collection
of the taxes or who sought to recover
from the government the money paid
to cover the fines levied by the rev.
enue collectors office, defendants who
were not SO well situated were put
to an even greater disadvantage
since they would come into court
without counsel. Few at first real
lied just what the Volstead act
meant, or at least the Interpretation
of it as made by the prohibition en-.
forcement officials. And they of
course, get their instructions from
higher up, nothing is optional with
them.
Pending the supreme courts opin-
ion of the law which was asked for
by another State even before North
Carolina understood that trial by
jury was not absolute, disposal of the
cases in Federal court here and else
where in the State will not be made.
Collector j. w Bailey has served
notice that defendants from whom
his department is seeking to collect
fines would not be prosecuted or fore
ed TO pay until Judge Connor's deci-
SIGN had been made. There are many
hundreds in North Carolina.
