N Hearing on a motion to restrain
the comptroller general and the
county tax collector from collecting
the $100 special state tax from retail
cigar dealers in Fulton county was
begun Thursday before Judge w. d.

others, January 6 at whcih time a
temporary restraining order, signed
by Judge John T. Pendleton, prevent
ing the collection of the tax was is
sued.
Mr.. Hirsch and Mr.. Aexious rep
resent 212 retail cigar dealers who
assert that the law is unconstitu.
tional in that it shows discrimination
between dealers in INCORPORATED and
unincorporated territory. Z They also
contend that the tax is prohibitive
and would drive them out of BUSH
ness il collected as their profits on
cigars is small.
The dealers also object to the tax,
asserting that the large chain cigar
stores are required to pay the same
tax while operating q number of
stores in the same city.
An affidavit made by J. N. Hirsch
was read Thursday morning by At,
torney Hooper A. Alexander counsel
for the plaintiffs, giving a general
outline of the situation the small
dealers face. He charged in his afh-

NOT ACCIDENTAL;
SURVIVORS THINK

A
NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Feb. 10
Survivors of the steamship Northern
Pacific, burned at sea. early yester-
day morning with loss of four lives,
are not satisfied that the burning of
the steamer was wholly accidental.
Captain William Lusti, master of
the Northern Pacific, declined this
morning to make a statement, but
members Of his crew were not quite
SO reticent. They suspect foul play
before the ship left her berth on the
Inflated voyage, but realizing they
can prove nothing, declined to make
any direct charge or statement.
The Northern Pacific'S destruction
took new turn this morning when
an attorney for the Sun Shipbuild
ing company attempted to get sworn
statements from the survivors. The
crew, evidently having been caution
ed by the master, had nothing what
soever to say.
Captain LuSti has warned his men
shat the shipping board orders pro.
hibit their telling anything of the
accident and those who at one time
appeared willing to give further de-
tails eff the disaster now are silent.
The master was asked pointblank
concerning reports that the ship
might have been fixed" by some
one before she left her berth. He
quickly demanded tt know from
whence the report came and on be-
ing told that it could not be traced
to it's source said that he, must de.
cline. to answer any and all ques.
tionsa He did net know that the
shipping board has ruled that the
ship was regarded as the property
of the charterers or operators and
intinated that there will be litiga.
ton growing out Of this phase of
the situation. The ship was in
sured to the account of the char
terers but was not to be finally de.
livered until recomditioning was
completed.
! Captain Lusti now is debating a
confidential report to the shipping
board. The statement is a lengthy
one, and goes into detail. eff the
shipping board makes it public after
they receive lit you will then have
the full story" the captain said.
