SHIPPING BOGUS
HONEY FROM CHICAGO

Chicago, Nov. 15.-GIucose honey IN
der the attractive guise Of pure clover
honey" is invading the Chicago mar
kets to such an extent that the eff
forts of the state pure food inspectors
are largely directed toward investiga-
tions of this imposition, says the Trib-
une. One entire carload of honey"
consigned to California was barred
from the markets yesterday except as
a plainly labeled adulteration.
The analysis Of the honey cOmpos-
ing the consignment showed that it
contained from 90 to go per cent Of
glucose, and as pure honey" the stuff
was condemned. The cOnsignee had
the choice of selling it as a glucose
mixture or Of sending it back, and he
chose the latter course. at the same
time canceling other orders which
would have brought other large guam
titles of the glucose honey to Chicago.
Unlike many of the authorizations
which food the market, the glucose
honey is not regarded as an injurious
mixture. and the pure food commits
sioners affirm that the imposition on
the purchaser is one which Injuries his
pocketbook and not his health. 1t is
worth about One-fifth as much as rea!
honey.

NEW YORK JUDGE SETS
VERDICT OF JURY ASIDE

New York, Nov. 15.-Justice O'Gor-
man, in the supreme court today, of
his own motion, set aside a verdict
for $500 in favor of julius Wiltzen, who
sued the Metropolitan Street Railway
company for $l5OC0 for the death of
his 5-year-Old son, Lawrence, on the
ground that such verdict was utterly
inadequate. The action taken by JUS
tice O'Gorman is said to be without
precedent in the New York courts. In
setting aside the verdict the justice
said:
'The verdict rendered in this case is
so grossly inadequate and indefensible
it should not be allowed to stand. The
verdict is perverse and the damages
arbitrarily and capriciOusly fixed at
such a low figure as to shock the
moral sense.
"The plaintiff is in no manner re
spOnsible for this miscarriage of jus
tice and to impose costs as a condition
Of setting the verdict aside and grant
ing a new trial is to emphasize the
wrong to which the jury has already
subjected him "

TAX MUST BE PAID.
Decision Regarding Beer and Whisky
Shipped to Philippines.

Jill BGl " \ E~@-~~'
Washington. Nov. 15.-The conmis-
sioner of internal revenue today rem
dered a decision in which he holds that
beer. whisky and other articles of dc
nestle manufacture subject to internal
revenue tax when consumed in the
United states. are subject to this tax
when shipped to the Philippine ISLANDS.
In this sense the Philippines are held
to be domestic territory.
Under existing laws articles subject
IN internal revenue tax at home are
relieved from the tax when exported
to q foreign country, the exporter CIV
ing bonds when the goods are with
drawn which is Cancelled when salts
factory proof is furnished that they ac-
tuaIlv have been landed in foreign ter
ritorv. Under a ruling made some
weeks ago by the commissioner, the
Philippines have been regarded tor
purposes of internal revenue taxation
as foreign territory and therefore the
whisky beer, cigars, etc. winch nave
been shipped to the islands have peen
exempted from taxation Under the ne
present ruling the tax in all cases VIII
be exacted before shipment.
1t is. expected that exporters viii pay
the tax under protest, having in mind
the fourteen diamond rings" case now
pending in the United States supreme
court. in which a decision is expected
at an early date. This case involves
the same question which has arisen III
the consideration Of the internal rev
enue tax case and r the court should
hold that the Philippines are foreign
territory for customs and internal rev
enue tax purposes. exporters WIFI %
entitled to a refund of the amount o.
the tax paid.

This takes them away from their le-
