Court hero next week whon the browery
officials renew their contest U qlinBli the
Federal probe of contributions mado to
political cnmp-ilsmt'by the liquor Inter
ests. Tho probe hml started only tlili
mornlnB when postponement was mndo
until next Tuesday afternoon nt tho re
quest of counsel for the brewery men.
United Stales District Attorney R. Low
ly Humes Is prepnrlns for n clash that
way rench the higher Federnl Courts, ns
tho nttornoys for tho brewery Interests
apparently hnve been Instructed to spam
no movo that might frustrate tho planned
prosecution.
The arguments on tho petition of the
brewery ofFlclnln to nunsli tlio subpoenas
Issued on brewery ofllrlals and otliern
will bo next Monday Counsel for tho
liquor men hope for n fiivorablo decision
In this matter, and expect the argument
to result In nt least delaying the probe
scheduled to start Tuesday. District At
torney Humes, however, Is planning to
rcsumo tho calling of witnesses Tucsdny
afternoon.
Tho Inquiry, which Is expected to bo
come nation-wide In scope, opened todny
tn the Federal Uulldlng, when James
Moore, nsslstant cashier of the North
western National Hank of Philadelphia
was called before the United .States Grand
Jury.
The Phlladelphlnu, the first witness,
produced bank records, the Government
officials hoped, showing transactloni
through tho bnnk mado by the United
States Brewers' Association, and tho
Pennsylvania llrowers' Association, two
organizations supposed to havo disbursed
huge sums In politics since 1.111, back to
which date tho Government Inquiry may
go.
Among other tlilngH light was expected
to be thrown on one transaction involv
ing nearly half a million dollars, which
was contributed to one or moro candi
dates In the State election In Pennsylvania
two years ago.
The defense Is represented by Attorney
Georgo Shaw, of Itecd, Smith, Shaw and
Heal; Attorney Charles A. Fagan and
Attorney J. W. Hlbhard, who accompanied
Assistant Cashier Moore from Philadel
phia. That the Philadelphia banker produced
records In tho shape of canceled checks
Is believed, but apparently with the un
derstanding they were produced under
protest.

CHARGES BREACH OF
FAITH BY BRAN DEIS
Cnntliiued from I'nKe One
tho E per cent, railroad rate case," was
Thome's opening remark.
Senator Walsh Insisted on the witness
ndhorlng strictly to the record when dis
cussing the position taken by Branded) In
tho complicated phases of the rate case.
Throughout this case, Thome explained,
counsel for shippers nnd for the public,
Including himself and Brnndcls, had con
tended that tho not revenue of the rail
roads was sulllclcnt to run the roads nt
a profit. This, he said, was tho crux of
the fight ngalnst tho Incrcnsed rates de
manded by the roads. Tho commission
Itself, In lain, made this clear, ho said.
Tho commission announced, Thome said,
thnt tho question pending would he di
vided for nrgument Into two parts:
First. Aro tho railroads entitled to
more revenue?
Second. If so, where shnll It be se
cured? At the very close of the arguments In
1313, the witness said, Brnndcls made the
final argument against tho railroads.
Thorne lead from the record showing
thnt Brandels said le following in his
argument:
"I have said, nnd I will say again, that
whntcver may be true of the rates, the
net Income Is not sulilclent to give that
prosperity to the railroads such as the
weltare of the people demands."
Leaning forward In his chair the wit
ness pounded tho table with his fist and
glancing with flashing eyes from one
member of the committee to another, he
continued:
"This was tho very point for which the
railroads had contended for four years.
They had bombarded tho commission with
arguments, they had maintained a nation
wide propaganda. Tho commission itself
had charged them with misleading nnd
deceiving tho public as to their revenues.
"Here wo were nt the close of this great
case Involving ?.'0,ufl0.000 a year, five per
cent, on a billion dollars. From a finan
cial standpoint this was the most Im
portant caso over tried between private
parties bofore any human tribunal slnco
the dawn of civilization.
'In the closing argument, after every
rcpiesentatlvo of the public had con
cluded, tho special counsel for the com
mission, appointed to see that nil points
of tho caso were properly presented,
without notice and without warning to
other counsel, conceded the very point
nt issue at that time."

Police Court Chronicles
Tho tnsk of raising nn army In n hurry
Is somewhat dllllcult. Charllo Roosevelt,
who Is no relation to Vcddy, found this
out after a bitter experience Charlie fa
vors preparedness nna Delleves that all
Americans should place themselves on
record regarding tho matter Immediately.
Ho appointed himself a committee and
questioned those whom he met on tho
street. Ho was especially Industrious In
this connection along Kensington nvenue.
Some of those approached Ignored
Charlie; others gave him tho laugh. One
facetious youth tried to "kid" him for
tho amusement of a few bystanders,
"Aro you prepared?" asked Charllo.
"You Just bet I am," replied the youth.
Theru was a loud report as Roosevelt's
fist struck tho faco of the joker Beforo
ho could recover, Charlie pulled a pipe
from tho mouth of the youth and then
blow smoke in his face. "That's tho
smoke of battle," said Charlie as he
turned on his heel. But he wnlked right
Into the arms of Policeman Yost
When he was brought beforo Mnglstrato
Dletz, at tho Tronton avenue and Dau
phin streets station, Charlie declared that
he was simply trying to raise an army
to protect tho country. Tho "Judge" ad
mired his motlvo but disapproved of his
mothods.
"I'm prepared to mako any sacrifice,"
said Charlie.
"I'm glad to hear It," said the Magis
trate, "and you will not shudder, there
fore, at the order to camp ten days In the
county prison."
