GAIUIE'.IT'S CAGE. Suit Against Dispensary Commission for $7,000 Hoard?The 'Claims Made. Columbia Slate, 20th. In Richmond yesterday Attorney General Lyon opened argument before Judge 1'rite hard ixf the United States district court in tho injunction proceedings brought by Garrett & Co. of Norfolk, Vn., and Weldon, N. C., in which claims in the hands of the state dispensary commission are tied up. The arguments will be concluded some time today and the decision of the court) will be awaited with much interest on account of the $700,000 involved in other claims now in the hands of this commission. It will be recalled that sonic days ago tho wine firm of Garrett" & Co. applied to Judge Pritehard for a temporary injunction, holding up all payments until the Garrett claims could be heard. This paper states thai about $7,000 is due tho (inn by the commission ami it is alleged that although several offers have been made t he commission for a sell lenient, all of them have been refused and that the commission shipped back to Norfolk several thousand dollars' worth of wines which have been refused and are not fit for use. The answer filed by tho attorney general and Mr. W. F. Stevenson, the attorney for tho commission, says that the conimision decided to hold up all claims against the dispensary until further evidence, wanted on account of the prosecutions that may follow, is produced and that no intention of defrauding the debtors of their just dues has been intimated. The answer further states in many instances the firm bringing the suit has not complied with the law and filed the proper bonds required under lite old law and therefore is entitled In no consideration. Tin i;t^t clause in I he answer raises the ri trhl of jurisdiction in I ho United S.ale- courl as applied io (his case and the decision of the judge along this line will he awaited with interest,'by the commission. The wine 'linn alleged that the appeal was made in the United Stales court because of ihe fact that the commission would claim that ihe firm had no right to sue Ihe agents of the stale. A special from Richmond yesterday says: "Attorney General Lyon of South Carolina opened argument before Judge l'ritchard in Ihe United States district court here, today on the injunction of Garrett & Co. against the South Carolin dispensary commission. Tho commission is represented by Attorney W. E. Douglas of North Carolina. General Lyon will conclude his argument tomorrow morning, commencing at 10 o'clock for Ihe commission. The purpose of the injunction is to force the dispensary com1 mission to repay damages resulting from the closing of the dispensary. Tho damages aro estimated between $0,000 and $7,000. The case will bo concluded probably tomorrow." DINES WITH ROOSEVELT.
