CHICAGO. March 3l.-On the opening of
the United States District Court this morning
the jury in the Pohlman & Rush case came into
court with a verdict finding the defendants
guilty OF the first four counts. These counts
charge First, that the defendants being dis
tllers distilled 10000 gallons Of spirits subject
TO tax with intent to defraud the United States
out OF the tax thereon; second and third. that
the defendants carried on n distiliinR business
and removed spirits subject to tax. and on which
tax had not been paid, TO other warehouses
than provided by law; fourth, that they engaged
10 an unlawful cons piracy to put on the market
5000 proof gallons of distilled spirits subject to
tax without paving tax. thereby dofrauding the
United states OF the tax thereon.
The fines and imprisonment on these four
counts. W aggregated. would be in the minimum

equal to twice the amount Of the tax. Urder

The reason why certain pictures Of
foreign artists have brought nigh prices al recent
auc ion sales, Notwithstanding the hardness Of
the times and the spread OF economy In matters
OF luxury, is easily gotat. II Is that the market
for such pictures the more celebrated ones by
eminent ARTISTS not confined TO this country,
and that they can always find purchasers abroad
at their full value. They are like gold coins
which have not only an intrinsic value, but oau
be marketed anywhere at their proper valua-
ton. 1t is different with the ordinary run OF pic
lures thrown of by our feebler artists, which are
but Of local circulation, like our greenback cur
rency. There are pictures of renown In Ameri-
can galleries which would fetch great prices,
even amid general bankruptcy, from men who
would buy in order 20 sell.
