THE A. F. G. W. U.
The Annual Convention at GAINESVILLE
Has Gotten Down to Business..-Re-
ports of Officers.

Special to the Register.
GAINESVILLE, O., July 12.-The Ma
tional Flint Glass Workers convention
began business to-day and disposed of
the reports of officers and appointed the
subcommittee to begin the work for
the remainder of the session.
President Smith made his report this
morning, and this alone consumed near
ly the entire forenoon session. The
report was very gratifying one to the
delegates. There has been a substan-
tial increase in membership and the as
ISOLATION now numbers 1866 members.
In the past four years S1,6S0,0O0 have
been expended in supporting members
affected by lockouts, but in the last
year only $4,000 were expended,
showing that the members had a year
of prosperity, and the report of the
treasurer indicated that the treasury
was enjoying a good increase in funds,
because of a decrease in the heavy de-
mands by locked-Out members. After
the reports of the officers the commit
tees were appointed on the various
branches of the trade such as prescrip-
ton work, ETC., and the recommends
tons made by the officers are now in
the hands OF the committees. Some
of these will require week or ten days
10 complete their work The indications
are that Detroit will not get the next
convention, but that it will go east,
probably to New Jersey.

THE STAMP TAX
On Bills Of Lading, Both Freight
and Express, Must Be Paid for and
Affixed by the Carrier.

Washington, July 12.-In answer to
references from the commissioner of
internal revenue, all bearing upon the
question as to whether the shipper or
carrier shall pay for and affix the re-
quired revenue stamps to bills of lad
ing, ETC., Assistant Attorney General
Boyd has held as follows:
"The law makes it the duty of every
railroad steamboat, carrier, express
company or corporation, or person
whose occupation it is to act as such,
to issue to the shipper, consignor or
his agent, or person from whom any
goods are accepted for transportation,
a bill of lading, manifest or some other
evidence of the receipt of the goods,
wares or merchandise received for car
riage and transportation, and this bill
of lading, manifest or memorandum re-
quires a revenue stamp of the value of
one cent affixed to it and cancelled.
In case of failure to issue such bill of
lading, the law imposes penalty of
$50 upon the carrier-guilty of such
failure.
"The penalty for failure to so afix
the stamp is not more than 500. The
purpose of the law is clear. 1t was
to tax the carrier and not the shipper;
and these provisions undoubtedly fix
upon the express companies and other
carriers the duty Of providing, affixing
and cancelling the stamp and their
failure to so provide, affiX and cancel
such stamps, subjects them to the pen
atty provided by law. 1t is suggested
that some Of these carriers are refus-
ing to receive goods for shipment I'M
til the shipper pays the tax. While
it is not my province to advise as to
the recourse which the shipper may
have in instances of this kind, l am
sure that the laws are ample to require
public carriers and express companies
to receive goods rendered for shipment
or suffer damages for such refusal"

HUNTING PRIvATEERS.
TWO British Warshlps Are, Scouting In
the Northern Pacific.

Victoria B. c.. July 12.--In response
to the request of United States Consul
Deadley, OF Vancouver, Admiral Pull
lezer, commander of the Pacific British
squadron, stationed at Esquimault, has
dispatched H. NJ s. Amphion, sec
ond-class cruiser. carrying nine guns
and the sloop of war Icarus, mounting
eight guns, to cruise the waters OF the
north to search for alleged privateers
which, according to reports that have
reached the ears of the consul, that 1t
lies hidden in the vicinity Of Dixon en-
trance the passage for south bound
treasure ships. The existence of such
a privateer, however, is regarded as
very doubtful, as no reliable reports re-
garding it have been received.

TO THE CHAIR.
Mrs. Martha M. Place Condemned to
Die for the Murder of Her Step
Daughter.

New York, July 12.-Mrs. Martha NJ.
Place, convicted of the murder of her
daughter, Ida Place, was to-day
sentenced to die in the electric chair at
Sing Sing prison during the week be-
ginning August 20. Mrs. Place broke
down when sentence was pronounced.
Mrs. Place is A years of age; the MUIR
dered girl was Is. Mrs. Place was in
sanely jealous of her step daughter,
with whom she had frequent quarrels.
Some time during the day of February
last she smothered the young girl TO
death with pillow. Then she lay in
wait behind the front door for her hus-
band and attacked him with Ratchet.
For some time his life was despaired
of as result of the wounds she in
filcted, but he finally recovered. If
Mrs. Place is executed she will have
been the first woman put to death in
this State in the electric chair.
