Supreme Court Hold Govern

Against Traffic Which
b Illegal
- Good newt for hundred o( viol.
Utor of i he liquor law came to
the federal building yesterday when
A. B. Allen, collector of internal rev
enue, received a ttlrgram informing
him that the United State supreme
court haa decided that taxes and
penalties aiftetsed under Section 35
of the national prohibition act are
not collectable by attachment.
Thia means, in short, that hun
dred of Otnahan and Nrbrakans,
agaiiwt whoae property Collector AN
lc,i hai levied to compel them to
pay lumi aggregating hundreds of
thousands of dollars, will be lreed
from the necessity of paying.
ItEven in the last three day a ISO
such attachments, ranging from
about $750 to $2,800 each, were filed
in the office of the clerk of the fed
edal court here.
The decision, in short, holds that
tf"United States government cannot
wry a tax upon a traific which is
lUegal
ji It may be that all persons who
have already paid these "taxes" as
sessed by the internal revenue officer
will get their money back. Thia will
be known when the full text of the
cision is received.

Violet followed her across the
wide luxury ot the room .he found
it impotublf to think of it as
"shop" through a glaia door
screened by a curtain.
Tbt dark girl entered first; she
said something rapidly in French,
something which Violet could not
understand. A smalt, plump woman
roe with shrill exclamation from
a writing desk; he answered with
flood of voluble words, alto in
French; the gesticulated freely with
her small, plump hands.
Suddenly she swung around with
an angry face; her eyes frll on Vio
let, who stood shrtnkingty in the
doorway, and she grew suddenly si
lent. "Take off your hat she said. She
poke in excellent English, with just
the faintest suspicion of French ac
cent. Violet pulled the pins from her hat
with ringers that trembled; through
the high window a ray of golden
sunshine felt upon her as she stood
there with her uncovered masses of
fair hair.
Madame gave a little sound of
satisfaction; she spoke in French to
the dark girl, then she turned to
Violet.
"You have references, of course?"
"No, at least" the girl hesi
tated. I was at Gatwick s for a
few months " she added doubt
fully. "Gat wick's L Mon dieul Is it
possible?" She plumped down in a
chair as it she had been pushed, she
threw her eyes up to heaven,, the
clasped her hands theatrically.
The dark girl smiled; she spoke
softly.
"She has bautiful hair, Madame,
for the black models "
Madame recovered; she scanned
Violet with a business eye; she mut
tered to herself. .
"Cicl! the clothes le chapeaut"
Suddenly she gave a peremptory or
der. "Walk, Mademoiselle, walk past
me, if you please 1 Now, turn your
head turn it as if you carried a
5-guinea model on your hair sol
Bienl"
She nodded her small head
wisely.
"Your name and address, if you
-sse?"
' iolet gave both tremblingly; she
lered if madame knew the dis
road where all the houses looked
.-, but the Frenchwoman made
, comments as she wrote rapidly
.:i a ledger:
She blotted what she had written
and closed the book with a bang
then she turned again.
"I will give you 30 shillings a
week I will take you on trial; we
want a blonde; it is necessary to
have a blonde for our black models
" She took a paper from "-her
desk. "You will go to this address
and be fitted for a gown, and yon
will take up your duties here on
Monday morning."
Violet tried to speak, but madame
waved her imperiously away. "You
need not be grateful;, if you are not
useful' to me, you will go, but I
think you will be useful. Bon jourl"
The dark girl led the way from
the room; she smiled kindly at Vio
let's eager face. ,
"Madame is pleased with you,"
she said as the door closed on the
French woman. "Ska is verv hIhuiI
or she would nut have given the
commisaMNi tor your gown. I have
never known her ti do tuth a thing
before
"t cannot tell you how grateful I
am, said Violet, breathlessly. "I
came in quite by chance 1 have
tried so many timet to get work an
always failed I am not very strong.
Do yon think I shall get on here?
Do you think I shall suit madame?"
"There it not very much to dot
it isn't a hard life. If yon plea
madame you will do well; this place
is a orivate concern van know ni
a company It it much better than
working for a company." She broke
off. drawing Violet to one side at the
swing door was opened by an ob
sequious commissionaire, and an old
lady with white hair entered, fal
lowed by a tall man wearing an ab-
kurq eyeglass.
They passed up the long room at
it they had been there many timet
before the old lady walked a little
tame; she leaned on a silver-knobbed
stick: the man Violet caught her
breath; she had seen the man before;
he had ruined her hat for her by put
ting his foot on it the previous eve
ninghe had owned the green
painted car that had ran over and
killed the flower girl outside the the
ater. A sudden thrill of excitement went
through her she wondered if he
would recognize her. but he did not
even glance her way; he followed
the old lady with a decidedly bored
air down the Jong room.
Violet whispered a breathless ques
tion to the dark girl at her tide.
"Who are they? Do you know
who they are?"
The girl looked surprised the
smiled.
'"The man it Mr. Ronald Hastings;
he is practically a millionaire; he
owns Violette's. The lady it hit
mother." t ..
