They Do Not Want to Pay Over so Cents
Tax on Whisky in Bond.

CHICAGO, Sept. IL. B. Greenhut, pres
ident of the Whisky Trust, arrived in this
city this evening and left for his home in
Peoria, H.. on the night train. He pro-
fessed surprise when shown a telegram
from New York that trading In trust stock
was heavy on the strength of rumor that
the trust was about to appoint receiver.
THAT is certainly news to me-" he said,
"but almost any rumor is likely to occur
in the New York market. Two weeks ago a
similar report was published and was cal
culated to hurt our efforts to borrow mon
ey to lift our spirits in bond. There is not a
bit of truth in the report"
Concerning the intention OF the trust to
test its liability 10 pay the 20 cents in
crease on spirits in bond, Mr.. Greenhut
said: I'VE are only a small factor in the
aggregate interested in bonded liquor We
hold but five million gallons of the total
of 100, 100000 gallons. We will pay the tax
under protest and will combine with the
regular whisky distillers in testing the law.
We hold that having given bond to pay 80
cents tax on spirits in bonded warehouse
that no increase of tax affect that
under the period for which we gave bond"

Congressman from the First Louisiana dis

reporter of the movement toward the Re-

planters. He said:
1T may mean that a Republican delega-
tion will be sent 10 the next Congress from

electors may be chosen two years from

on that basis; yet the party TO which the
State has given Its undivided support enacts
a bill that will drive many of its prosper

the sugar industry has prospered. The Re-

think, have done so consistently. So have

MELON PATCH TRAGEDY.
A Farmer POisOns His Son and Two
Others and Is Shot Dead.

MAGNOLIA, Ark. Sept. IA sensa-
tionaI tragedy occurred near Dykesville,
La, small town just across the Arkan-
State line to-day. Clinton Thompson,
a farmer, had a fine melon crop which af-
forded a feast to the boys in the neighbor-
hood. The raids of the boys became so
frequent that the old man decided to put
a stop to the depredations. He put poison
in some of the finest melons and awaited
the results. This morning his son Felix,
George Bridges, neighbors son. and a
man named Jacob Muir were found dead
in the patch. The neighbor whose son
was among the victims was the first to
discover the dead bodies and called Thomp-
son out to show him the corpses. When
Bridges learned that Thompson had
poisoned the melons and caused the
death of his son he drew a revolver and
shot him dead. The murderer escaped.
