YOKOHAMA, Dec. 15.-It will be
remembered that last year an article
very disrespectful to the Prince and
Princess Imperial was published in a
Christian periodical called the Semen
no-Fukuin, published in Toxic. The
writer, publisher and printer of the
magazine were subsequently prosecut-
ed and sentenced in the Toxic Dis
trict Court, the two first-named to
three years Imprisonment and fine
of 100 yen each and the third to one
year and six months and a fine of 90
yen. All the prisoners having ap-
pealed against the decision, the hear
ing came on in the Toxic Court of
Appeal on Friday. Half dozen
counsel appeared for the defence. The
proceedings, however, were conducted
in camera.

DROWNED TRYING TO
RECOVER TOY BOAT,
Eight Year Old Johnnie Lindemann
Fell in the River Reaching
for the Tiny Craft.

While attempting to save a toy sailboat
s-year-old Johnnie Lindemann was drowned
in the Mississippi River yesterday at noon
His BODY was recovered twenty minutes
later and brought to the shanty boat Of his
parents. at the foot of Destrehan street, In
what is known as Little Oklahoma"
Ever since they have been able to toddle
there has been devotion between little
Johnnie Lindemann and Alice Schroeder
like that between Tom Sawyer and Becky
Thatcher. Their favorite amusement was to
whittie little fat-bottomed boats from
shingles, and to equip them with sails made
of paper or feathers. Johnnie made most Of
the boats, but little Alice managed yester-
day morning to fashion one, which she pre-
scented to her companion.
Yesterday Johnnie was sailing the tiny
sloop. when it capsized in q pun Of air
Johnnie started after it, though he had moi
learned to swim. The boat got out eight
feet from the shore, but Johnnie plunged
forward. He reached the floating toy, but
as he seized 1t he sank from view.
Jacob Conrad a fisherman, who lives al
No. 52l2 North Broadway, witnessed the &C.
With Henry Schroeder, an uncle OF the lit
tie girl, Conrad dragged the river with
boat hooks and found the body near the
foot. Of Angelrodt street.
Johnnie Lindemann was the younger OF
two sons of John Lindemann. who lives with
his wife and two other children In house
boat along the river, back In the center
of Little Oklahoma" The boy was unusu-
ally bright for his age. The funeral will
be this afternoon.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, July 1.-TWO weeks ago the
Tobacco Trust sent out an announcement
that there would be no reduction In the
prices Of tobacco when the war revenue
was taken of. This revenue was paid in
stamps pasted on the packinss Of the to-
bacco and on cigar boxes, the prices paid
by the jobbers and dealers covering the cost
Of the stamps.
This was equivalent to an increase in
prices equal to the amount Of the war-tax
increase. Some far-seeing dealers took the
opportunity to get ahead Of the manufac-
turers They laid in immense stocks Of to-
bacco, 30 that when the time for the rebate
OF the war taxes came they would get the
rebate themselves.
As they would have to bay the same
fore, ana would get back the amount Of the
increase In tax from the Government, they
virtually got the goods at q reduction equal

this was not confirmed.
