Prisoners Making Counterfeit Plates
In Their jail Cell

Philadelphia, November 1S.-John L.
Semple, a lawyer Of Camden, N. J.,
was placed on trial today in the United
States district court before Judge Nc
Pherson charged with aiding and abet-
ting Arthur Taylor and Baldwin S. Bre-
dell in making, issuing and attempting
to circulate counterfeit twenty dollar
notes. Sample is the thirteenth man to
be arrested in connection with the cele-
brated Lancaster, Pa, revenue stamp
counterfeiting conspiracy conceived by
Jacobs and Kendig, cigar manufacture
turers of hat city in 1897. Nine men
have cor to the penitentiary for their
part in the crime and three others are
in the county prison awaiting sentence.
The government is represented by
United States District Attorney Holland
who will be aided by assistant United
States Attorney General James B.
Beck. The latter prosecuted the other
cases against he co~nspirators. Semple
pleaded not guilty.
In his opening address District At
torney Holland told how Taylor and
Bredell in their prison cell under the
direction Of Lawyer Semple had secur-
ed a small press, having it made at
Snow Hill, how three plates and an en-
craving tool had been purchased for
them in New York in December 1899.
how they made their plates in their
cell, working at night, by the light of
an oil lamp; how the counterfeits were
shown to Semple and approved by him,
n finally how they were put in cir
culation by Harry Taylor, a brother of
Arthur. The district attorney said he
would prove all this, and in addition
show that Semple had secured the $50
new one dollar silver certificates and
had given them to Bredell and Taylor
who washed them and impressed with
the twenty dollar plates.
The principal witness today was Tay-
lor, who explained in every detail how
they carried on their counterfeiting
work in Jail. He told how he and Bre-
dell fixed things so that the keepers
could not detect them, at night. He told
of how they secured the tools and how
they usually did the work at night.
After they had finished each night
they would conceal their tools in a va
lise m the engraved plate in a maya
zine. The valise and magazine had not
been inspected by the keepers, or by
the prison inspectors in six months.

STATE TAXATION
OF Railroads Upheld by Federal Su-
preme Court

Washington, November 1S.-An opin-
ion was rendered in the United States
supreme court today in the case Of the
Gulf and Ship Island Railway Compa-
ny against George P. Hughes, a tax
collector in Mississippi, the opinion be-
ing delivered by Justice Brown. The
case came to this court form the SUI
and tie proceedings was instituted fer
the purpose of enjoining the collection
OF taxes levied upon the railroad COM
amy
The railroad company was incorpo--
ated in 1882 and it's charter contained a
provision exempting it from taxation
for twenty years.
The state courts, however, held that
this charter was ~repealable and that it
actually was repealed by the adoption
by h state Of the annotated code
which was accepted by the state in 1892.
The decision Of the state court made
the question a local and not a federal
question in the opinion of the United
States supreme court and because of
this view h opinion handed down to-
day affirmed the decision OF the SUI
preme court of Mississippi. The effect
is to hold the railroad company respon-
sible for taxes, regardless Of the ex-
emption of its charter. The court also
held that the railroad company could
not claim immunity from taxation on
the ground that its property was of a
privileged character.

RECIPROCITY DsMANpfD
Northern Manufacturers Urging Ac.
ton by the President

Washington. November 1S.-The pres
Iidents time today was occupied large
ly in the discussion Of reciprocity. sem
lator Cullom. of Illinois, and Represen-
tative Dalzell, OF Pennsylvania. had
something to say to him upon hat SUBJ
5ect, and a delegation Of
implement manufacturers consisting OF
flames Deering. Of Chicago; A. B. Far.
lquhar, York. Pa; and W. c. Barker, OF
New York, who are mere to attend the
reciprocity convention, which meets to-
morrow, presented a memorial strongly
urging that something be done.
The delegation told the president that,
IN It's opinion, the time for action had
jcome. Reciprocity had been talked and
preached about for years and unless a
decisive step was taken now which
would effect something. the whole sub
l1ect might as well be abandoned.
The members Of the delegation said
they a no particular interest in any
|of the treaties. but thought, taken alto
lgether, that the French treaty more
NEARLY represented the best possibilities
I'm the way Of reciprocity. and that II
lit could be ratified a distinct victory
would be won.
Senator Cullom. after his interview
with the president, talked in the same
vein. His attitude is considered i'm
lportant, as it is now practically set
tiled that he will be al the head OF the
foreign relations committee.
