TO PAY BACK
Porto Rican Duties to the Amount Of
100000.

Washington, July 22.-Attorney Gen
era1 Knox today declined to render an
opinion which was asked for by the
secretary OF the treasury on the ques-
ton whether or not, under existing
laws the secretary is authorized to re-
fund the duties collected on goods inn
ported from Porto Rico between the
day Of the ratification of the Spanish
treaty and the date that Foraker act
went into operation. The attorney gem
eral says that inasmuch as the comp
troller OF the treasury has given his
decision on the subject it is a matter
for him (the comptroller alone) and he
therefore can not give decision as re-
Quired.
1t is authoritatively stated at the
treasury department that the govern
ment will proceed Immediately to re-
fund these duties, acting upon the de-
cision of the comptroller of the treas
ury, which was to the effect that the
treasury department had authority, IN
der existing law. The duties amount
approximately to s.. Oo0, 600

TIE FT. SCOTT CASE.

The dispatches show that over 800
citizens of Fort Scott have signed q
petition which declares that the en-
forcement OF the prohibition law in that
city has been so weak that it has
amounted practically to a farce and
that the only true solution of the sub
ject is open saloons which must nav
high license. They therefore ask the
city officials to allow saloons to run
regardless of the state law and they
advocate such a move.
Among the signers are the names of
the mayor, ten members Of the city
council and three county officers. Near
ly every business firm in the city is
represented on the petition and none
but taxpayers are allowed to attach
their names
The petitioners state "that having OBJ
served the operations of the LIQUOR
traffic in the city since the enactment
Of the prohibitory amendment and the
many and ingenious methods used to
enforce the prohibitory liquor law. do
herewith declare that it appears to
have been demonstrated. to a reason
able certainty, that the most practiea-
bic and business like method of con-
trolling this traffic in this city is by the
enforcing the payment of a stipulated
fine on each and every dealer in intoxi-
eating liquors. We also believe that
such methods are more conducive to
temperance, unity Of purpose ana good
morals among our property owners and
citizens than the method Of closing the
open saloon and RELOCATING the LIQUOR
traffic to the transportation companies,
boOt-leggers and secret jointists"

was met at the head of the stairs by
his sister-in-law, who screamed Your

aside and went into his sister Mays

Chicago, July 22.-Six persons were
severely injured and a large throng
was thrown into panic last night
when four horses engaged in a race at
the Gypsy camp became frightened,
threw their riders, bolted the track and
galloped a full speed into the crowd of
spectators. The animals were coming
down the home stretch at the time and
SO sudden was the veering of their
course that the hundreds of pleasure
seekers gathered beside the track had
little time to reach places of safety.
Men. women and children struggled
with one another in their efforts to get

almost the same as the man who ilIeg-
ally sells the liquor
OF course this is not their intention
These men doubtless honestly believe
that the law is a dead letter; that it
cannot be enforced. that it makes
hypocrites of men and brings to the
front low dives and boot-leggers who
dispense only the most vile brands Of
liquors to any who may amply.
These men argue that in spite of the
most vigilant efforts OF the officers the
s'stuff'' is sold. That men will drink
their beer and that others are willing
to run the risk of a prison sentence to
make the money that goes with the
sales.
And since it must be sold they advo-
cate open saloons with a high license
and as decent places kept as it is pos
sibIe to have where liquor is sold This
declaration of the failure of the prohib-
itory law as viewed BY these men is an
open one. They do not hide their light
under a bushel but boldly announce
their acts to the state. In substance
they say, IF this be treason. make the

BOGUS BILLS.
100000 Believed to Have Been
Placed IN Circulation

washington, July 22-Chief vViIixie OF
the secret service has received q num-
Der Of bank notes printed from the or
iginaI plates used by the State Bank or
New Brunswick. N J., over 50 years
ago. The bank went out of existence
some time in the fiftfes and it was sup
posed that the steel plates from which
its notes were printed were destroyed.
It seems. however, that these plates
have fallen into the hands of parties
who have printed from them large
quantities of notes which have been
put into circulation from New York to
San Francisco. A very large per cent
age of the notes so far discovered are
twos although some ones and hves are
being sent in. Inasmuch as the notes
are not counterfeit of any United
States note or obligation the makers
and passers can not be prosecuted I'M
der the United States laws. but it is
said they can be punished for fraud
under the state laws. 1t appears that
the notes readily pass along the Cana
dian frontier as the takers think they
are the notes Of the Canadian province
of New Brunswick, the words New
Jersey being printed in small letters.
The notes are printed on bond paper
and are quite as good in every way as
the originals. It is said that possibly
100000 Of these notes are IN circula-
ton.
