New York, May 5.-The grand Jury
took up the case of Roland B. Molin-
euX, charged with the murder of Mrs.
Adams, again to-day. 1t transpired
that the relations between the district
attorneys office and the grand jury
were not of the most cordial kind. Dis
trict Attorney Gardner said to-day that
he would be rejoiced if the grand Jury
would take the case off his hands and
assume the responsibility. He said it
had worried him a good deal, and that
Ahe had been worried much by other
recent cases, notably the Dolly Rey-
nolds case. Some comment was caus-
ed by the fact that Foreman Church
and another member of the jury be-
long to the Loyal Legion and are
friends of their fellow member. Gen.
Molineaux, father of the prisoner.
However, Col Gardner also belongs to
that organization, as does the sitting
judge, Mcmahon.
There are 2S witnesses yet to be TAX

present rate of progress the case will
not be finished for many days.

Many letters asking information about

day the following statement was given
out by Postmaster General Emory
Smith:
In view of the statement of Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson that he sent his pamph-
lets only to Admiral Dewey Gen. Otis,
President Schurman and three or four
others, the letter of Mr.. Atkinson con-
tanning his application will be of in
terest. 1t is as follows:
Boston, April %, 1899.
" To the Secretary of War, Washing
ton:
Sir desire to send a large num-
Der OF the enclosed pamphlets on The
Cost of National Crime The He'll of
War and Its Penalties, Criminal Ag-
erosion; by Whom Committed? to the
officers and privates in the Philippine
islands. | therefore desire to know
whether or not these documents can
be sent directly through the War De-
partment or may be forwarded in due
course of mail. A list of regiments is
desired, and if there are printed lists
OF officers available they would serve
me very useful purpose
(Signed)
EDWARD ATKINSON
No answer was made to this letter
except to send an official copy to the
postmaster general, who issued instruc-
tons to the postmaster at San Fran
cisco to hold the pamphlets. The spirit
and design of the pamphlets will be
indicated by few extracts. In one of
them Mr.. Atkinson says: L will ap-
pend one question to each reader: How
much increase of taxation are you will
ling to bear and how many of your
nelghbors' sons are you ready to sacri-
flee by fever. malaria and venereal
disease in order to extend the sover-
ignty of the United States over the
West Indies and the Philippines?'
Again, after describing what he calls
the hell of war and its penalties Mr..
A III ~, rI,zo -
entrapped into enlistment in the regular
army Or volunteer service in the trop-
les it will only be fair and honest on
the part of the recruiting officers to be
put in possession of these facts
Again Mr.. Atkinson says: The
way has already become plain for the
youth of the land to avoid disease in
the tropics by refusing to volunteer or
enlist in the army or the navy of the
United States. The way will be found
for volunteers now held against their
will to get their release from lawful
service in any other country than their
own after peace is declared
Mr.. Atkinson not only speaks thus
of and to the soldiers of the United
States, but he encourages the Filipinos
to ihsurrection when he says: They
have the power to enter into internal
tional relations and they may yet be
recognized, and rightly recognized by
other powers.

OF Detroit Street Kailways-The Bill Be-
fore the Supreme ourt-submission to
be Made Compulsory.
Lansing, Mich, May 5.-The Mcleod
act, through which Governor Pingree
| is endeavoring to secure municipality
ownership of the street railways of De-
troit is being tested in the Supreme
Court on quo warranto proceedings in
stituted through Attorney General
Oren, TO compel the Detroit Street Rail-
way Commission to show that by what
authority they hold their Office. Some
of the best legal talent in the State
are taking part in the arguments. The
constitutionality of the act is virtually
involved and the Court gave audience
FOR four hours to present their case.
Yesterday the Senate passed bill
which had already passed the House,
giving the Common Council of Detroit
authority to submit to the electors the
question of municipal ownership. To-
day when the Senate met there was not
a quorum present, but Senators who
had taken early trains were caught by
kilograms and summoned back. This
made a quorum and the Senate then
reconsidered yesterdays action. 1t is
understood a substitute is to be offered
for the bill which will make submission
to the people compulsory rather than
voluntary.

THE GANSON PIANO.

Miss Lille Parish, of Yorkville, is
the happy possessor of the handsome
Lester piano given away by the Gan
son Dry Goods Company last Monday.
Under the terms of the company's
proposition, a coupon was to be given
out with each cash purchase of SO
cents until 10000 coupons had been
distributed among customers. Then
the customer presenting the largest
number of coupons on Monday was 10
receive the piano.
1t was expected that during the 80
days notice after all the coupons were
given out, there would be considerable
trading and competition among the
contestants, and there would be sever.
al claimants of the prize; but when the
time limit expired it developed that
there was only one contestant in the
field. This was Miss Parish, who
turned in IA 1924 coupons.
1t seems that in accordance with a
previous agreement the coupons that
had been collected by Rev. J. H. Simp-
son in behalf of the Hickory Grove
orphanage, went to Miss Parish and
were included in the number presented
by her. Mr.. Simpson, of course, re-
ceived compensation for the coupons
he had collected.

THE CIGARETTE TRADE.

1t used to be that almost every con-
Germ in Yorkville which sold tobacco
in any form, also handled cigarettes.
Now the concern that handles cigar
cites is the exception rather than the
rule. The reporter asked a former
cigarette dealer the reason of this, and
here is the way he put it.
swell, you see, since the war tax
went on there is only profit of from
a quarter to a half cent on package
of cigarettes. A large per cent. of the
cigarette smokers buy their supplies on
credit. Sometimes some of them pay
and often a great many do not. The
loss of one package means the loss OF
the profit on 10 or 20, and consequent.
ly it does not pay to fool with them"
"Then you mean to say that the
average cigarette smoker is not good
pay?"
"Something like that" replied the
dealer, smiling.
The reporter talked to several other
former cigarette dealers and in each
case found their reasons for not keep
ing cigarettes any more was about the
same.
