STRANGE WOMAN's FREAK

Was Much Hurt When She Couldn't Sell
Payne Some Glass Diamonds.
Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. Claiming
to be acquainted with Henry G. Payne
and to be an old schoolmate of Charles
f. Pf1ster. a woman, whose name was
not divulged, but who is said to be
we'll known, entered the offices of the
Milwaukee Street Railway company
on Saturday afternoon with the an
nounced purpose Of selling Payne some
diamonds. Payne's private secretary,
f. FL. Whitney, received the woman,
and on looking at the diamonds which
she offered, decided they were a good
article of cut glass, and tried to dis
miss her.
She grew abusive and finally broke
into hysterical weeping and shrieking.
When persuaded to go into an outer
office and locked out the woman grew
violent, pounding and kicking at the
door and threatening vengeance. Aft
er holding the office force prisoners in
side the door for half an hour the Wo-
man finally went away and later was
arrested The police refused to give
out any information about her.

Export Tax on'Tce.

Last winter the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture enacted law which is neither
wise nor just. It was the one at
tempting to put an export tax of 10
cents a ton on ali ice shipped out of
the State. Chicago is the largest out
side consumer of Wisconsin ice. The
unueighborly Legislature of that
State endeavored to reach out beyond
its limits and levy tax on the con-
sumers of ice in Chicago. They are
the ones who will have to pay this 10
cents a ton if it shall be collected. If
this method of raising money for
State purposes were permissible ex-
port taxes could be imposed on the
iron ore, lumber, and other commodi-
ties shipped out of the State. But
such a tax as Wisconsin is seeking to
put on Chicagoans next summer is not
permissible. A citizen of Wisconsin
who sees fit to ship to this city ice
which is his property cannot be made
to pay 10 cents a ton as a prequisite.
Neither can citizen of Chicago who
attempts to ship out of Wisconsin ice
which he has bought there or cut there
himself be stopped at the boundary
line and made to pay an export tax.
There are not and there cannot be any
State custom-houses. Interstate COM
merce is regulated by Congress and
cannot be hampered or destroyed by
the States. The season for shipping
ice has now arrived, and this week
proceedings will be commenced to test
the validity of this ice tax law. 1t is
so manifest1y unconstitutional that
the Chicago consumers of ice need not
be afraid that they will have to pay
taxes for the support of the Wisconsin
as we'll as of the Illinois State govern

RATHBUN IS FOUND GUILTY

His Sentence Runs from Two to Twenty
One Years in Prison.
JeffersOnville, Ind, Dec. 24.-New-
ell @. Rathbun, who was tried on the
charge Of numbering Charles Goodman
by giving him poison, was found guilty
at 10 p. N. yesterday of manslaughter,
and his punishment was fixed at two
to twenty-one years Imprisonment.
The jury had been considering the case
since Saturday afternoon at 3:15
o'clock. Rathbun's attorneys asked for
new trial, and the motion will be ar
gued later.
Charles Goodman, Rathbun's alleged
victim, was found dead last month III
a hotel in this city after he had spent
some time with Rathbun. His body
was shipped to Little Rock, Ark,
where Rathbun's wife lives, as that of
Rathbun, on whose life an insurance
policy for $4,000 had been issued.
Following the discovery that the body
was not Rathbun's came Rathbuns ar
rest at Louisville, where he had en-
listed under another name in the Unit
ed States army.

LIEUTENANT GENERAL MILES has

close the "incident." Judging from
the tone of the press, which reflects
the sentiment of the people, the con-
troversy will not down SO easily. The

sharp reprimand and recall had been
sent to Sampson as soon as it was as

for victory in battle in which he
took no part, the whole matter would
have ended then and there, but it will
never be ended now until the claims
of Schley are recognized and his ser
