Poisoned Picnic Pie.

CAMILLA, Ga, Sept. 20.-The
Negroes of the Oak Grove settle,
ment assembled at their church
here yesterday in religious wor-
ship. Each of the families carried
basket, and dinner was spread
for all who would partake. Before
the meal was over, several left the
table on account of violent sick
ness. Forty-one in all were poi
soned and six have died, with the
chances against several more. 1t
is thought that the pies were baked
in tin plates two days before and
caused the poisoning.

DEFRAUDING REVENUES.
A COMMON PRACTICE IN VOGUE
EXPOSED.
This is a Well Known Trick, Which
the Government Should Ex-
tinguish Summarily in
All Lines of Imports.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Dwight j.
Particle, United States consul at
Sonneberg, Germany, says that in
his consulate alone the United
States government is swindled out
of $150,0O0 customs duties every
year. And it is the same gigantic
steal which brings Mr.. Particle to
this country and to this city at
this time. The abuses responsible
for the leak lie in the customs APP
praisements at that port, and the
thieves have confederates on this
side of the water.
Speaking of the matter, Mr.. Par
tello says: "One of the favorite
methods of fraud practiced by the
Sonneberg exporters and entered
into by buyers was to knock off 10
and 25 per cent on the sale. The
competition among the sellers is
so keen that the buyer may get a
rebate of Is or 20 per cent. The
buyer reaps the benefit, because he
can sell his wares in American
markets at a profit, increased by
that 15 or 20 per cent, as
the case may be, and the
government in this way is robbed
just that much. For instance: a
Sonneberg manufacturer who can
sell dolls at ten marks dozen and
reap fair profit, quoted them at
ten per cent discount, making
them nine marks a dozen. The
difference is adjusted between the
importer and the buyer, but the
government can only collect duty
from the basis of the quoted price.
Under the circumstances, the only
relief is to have government APP
praisers appointed who shall raise
the rate of valuation on toys and
china to such figure as shall end
the rebate system and force the
German exporters to keep within
the strict letter of the law."s
Before coming to Chicago Mr..
Particle visited the custom houses
in several large eastern cities. The
object of his trip is to establish a
method by which the government
may secure the full duties on
wares imported from Germany.
Mr.. Particle will return to Wash
ington this evening to lay before
the secretary of state and the Sec
rotary of the treasury the result of
his investigations. Those officials
have signified their willingness to
place in force articles which will
ultimately throw safeguard
around the public treasury,
