AND INGREDIENTS; HOME USE
NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Oct. •«.*
In commenting on. » recent state
ment of J. Seymour Lovmftu, assist
ing secretary of -he .treasury* con
cerning possi ssR.' .„,uje .manufacture
of, wines and bri* in private homes,
District Attorney A. V. McLane told
the NashviHv (,Tenn.) Banner that
federal agents could not touch the
eitizef so Jong as he did not sell his
product, nor could they prevent his
buying, or any merchant's selling
hifi kegs, bottles, caps and other ma
terialg, rmiess an intent to violate the
law *as proved.
“There is nothing new in what Mr
Lowiaan has to say,” the district at
torney continued. “This court has

during the tntire eight years I have
held this office."
‘rThe immunity of the private citi-!
! zen for manufacturing wine or brew
for home consumption lies not in the
provision of the prohibition law, but
in the nature of a law governing a
search warrant. To obtain a search
warrant to search and seize any
store of such alcoholic beverage he
may have in his home, a federal offi
cer must first obtain evidence of a
sale.
“This was true before and was not
affected by the famous Danovitz de
cision of the Supreme Court.
“Neither does the decision prevent
a merchant from selling a citizen
caps, bottles, kegs, malt,, or any
! other of the materials that may be
1 used in the manufacture of wines and
brew; he has not yet geiu> far enough
for us to arrest him for conspiracy
to violate the prohibition, law. We
must prove some .intent .on his part.
| “If officers should attempt to ar
rest. him ho need merely to explain
that he was offering them for sale
for use in the manufacture of fruit
iuiccs, or near beer, or some other
non-alcoholic beverage, and the offi
cer's liapds would be tied. He would
have no case.
['■ “It is only in the instances that a
* salesman advertises the things for
usa in the manufacture of an alco
holic beverage, or proposes to show
the customer how to manufacture al
coholic beverages by the use of them,
that the federal law can handle
him.”

and by refusing to work and 'mine
said claim Ng. 12 by itself and at
the present, time, and by converting
to its own use and benefit the tailings
situated on said claim No. 12 as
hereinhefore set forth, and by ren
dering false accounts to this plaintiff
of the royalty due to him, and par
ticularly in view of its announced in
tention to discontinue mining opera
tions on plaintff’s claims after the
present mining season and not re
sume mining operations thereon be
fore three or four years from the
.present time, thereby depriving
plaintiff of the income and royalty
contemplated by said lease and con
tract, has shown such a wanton,
wrongful and fraudulent disregard
of the rights of the plaintiff as to
justify this court, as a court of
equity, in canceling and terminating
said lease and contract marked
‘Plaintiff’s Exhibit A.’”
The complaint asks that cancella
tion of the lease take effect from the
date of filing the complaint, Manley
also asks judgment for the sum of

alty he would receive .if the strip of
ground on the right limit side of No.'
4 creek claim had been fully worked, j
The complaint also asks that Man
ley be declared to be entitled to roy
alty on the gross amount of gold
mined and commingled from the
gravels of creek claim No. 4, being- i
ing to him, and the gravels of No. 4 ;
left limit, belonging to the company, j.
as it is impossible for anyone to say!
how much gold w$s mined from Man \
ley’s claims and how much, if any, ■
from the company’s claims.
Manley also,asks in the event the !
court shall be-- ©f the. opinion that ,
cancellation of the lease should not
be decreed, that then the company be j
