LACK OF REPUBLICAN,
HARMONY IS ALLEGED
Democrats Make Capital Out
of Campaign Book,
ATTITUDE AS TO TRUSTS
Secretary Edwards, of Democratic Con-
gressional Committee, Compares
Statements in Book With Utterances
by President Roosevelt in Message.

Secretary Charles a Edwards, of the
Democratic Congressional committee.
has been making a study of the Re
publican campaign book. particularly in
its treatment of the subject of trusts.
Mr.. Edwards finds that statements which
il contains do not coincide with the
Presidents utterances in regard to The
big combina tions of capital.
This is the first time in the history
of a political campaign," said Mr. Ed
wards in an interview yesterday, when
q campaign committee in publishing its
text book found 1t necessary to apollo

of the United States in his message 10
Congress.
This has been done by the Repub-
licars in their campaign book concern
ing the language used by President
Roosevelt in his message to Congress
last December where ne touches upon
the trust question IN explaining the
Presidents attitude upon the trust
question. the campaign book explains
that the President did not mean what
he said.
Comparison of Expressions.
The campaign book says: President
Roosevelt's discussion Of the trust ques-
tion in his first message to the Fifty
seventh Congress was conservative. but
fearless. He did not arraign the trusts
as wholly bad. but conceded that they
were part of the industrial develop
ment of tbs country. as they were of
the industrial development throughout
the civilized world
In his message, in speaking of the
trust question. the President says: IT
is also true that there are real and
grave evils, one of the chief being over
capitalization, because of its many
baleful consequences, and a resolute
and practical effort must be made TO
correct these evils
He also says: There is a widespread
conviction in the minds of the Ameri-
can people that the great corporations
known as trusts are, in certain of their
features and tendencies, hurtful to the
general welfare
He says, further, that corporations
engaged in the interstate commerce
should be regulated If they are found to
be working to the public injury, and that
1t should be as much the aim Of those
who seek for social betterment to rid
the business world of crimes of cunning
as to rid the entire body polite of
crimes OF violence
He again says that in the interest
of the whole people, the nation should

the States in the matter itself, also as

Attitude of Government Toward Coupon
Gifts Explained-Paying War
Tax Rebates.

The tobacco division Of the internal
revenue bureau has received hundreds
of letters inquiring about the law re-
garding the use of coupons, tickets. tags.
ETC.. to stimulate trade in manufactured
tobacco.
In reply the bureau has sent out cir
cular letter, the substance of which is
that the law does not prohibit gift en-
terprises, so long as there is no lottery
scheme connected with them. The law
on the subject simply prescribes that
the tags, or cards or other advertising
matter must bear the location. trade

There is no objection by the internal
revenue bureau to gift enterprises by

there is no element OF lottery contained
in the enterprise. For instance, the in
ternal revenue does not consider that
there is any lottery in coupons or tickets
which call for redemption in certain
article upon accumulation of so many
tickets or coupons. Two things insisted
upon by the bureau is that there must
be no indication OF a lottery in the busi-
ness and that no merchandise or foreign
article may be placed in a package.
Refunding War Tax.
The bureau is just winding up final
payments of rebates of tobacco taxes
under the act of March 2, 1901. when the
taxes imposed on account of the war
with Spain were reduced. About $1,000
claims have been settled or will be
settled within a few days. and the pay
ments in rebates amounted nearly 10
the total appropriated By Congress. 49,
150. 600.
The bureau is now being overwhelmed
with claims arising under the repeal
of the war revenue act. At the rate OF
.0GO claims a day have been coming
in to secure a rebate of 3 Clio cents per
pound on tobacco and snuff. This rebate
is necessary on goods on which the
taxes had been paid when the war reve-

of the fiscal year ended June so, 1902.

Will largely determine the successful
side, the Navy Department has prepared
the following statement of the value o.
vessels. which will govern the game.
Panther. twenty points; Prairie. twenty
points; Supply, FIVE points; total for
Captain Pillsbury's invading fleet, forty
FIVE points.
The total strength of the defending
force is 102 points. as follows: Alabama
Kearsarge and Massachusetts. each
twenty points; Brooklyn and Olympia
each eight points; Cincinnati. Glouces-
ter, Mayilower, Montgomery. Scorpion

seer from his that should the three in
vading vessels be discovered By two
battleships and one torpedo boat, ans
either the Brooklyn or Olympia, the
strength will be equal.
Not Burdened With Advice.
Authorities here have so much con-
fidence in the ability OF Rear Admiral
Higginson to repulse the hostile force
that he is not bothered with instruc-
tions, nor is the slightest suggestion
being made to him as to what course
he shall take to prevent the landing
of force from Captain Pillsbury's YES
sells.
The customary caution not to risk the
ships unnecessarily has been withheld.
and there are no anxious faces waiting
with intense feeling for the news from
the scene of battle which may tell Of
the invasion of the United States by a
foreign foe, or that the enemys fleet
is ours.
The last heard from Rear Admiral
Higginson he was at Rockport, Mass,
getting his fleet together preparatory to
sending scout ships to sea for the pur-
pose of locating. If possible. the where
abouts of Captain Pillsbury.
Should a fog descend upon the coast,
1t will increase the chances of sue

MEAT, FISH OR FOWL"
MEANS ALIVE OR DEAD
Commissioners So Construe
Police Regulation
Decide That Live Poultry Cannot Be
Exposed for Sale in Front
of Stores.

Mr.. c. B. Hunter, of 1851 Thirty-sec-
ond Street northwest. recently wrote
the District Commissioners requesting
to be informed whether he would be
permitted to expose live chickens in
coops for sale in front of his place Of
business. He expressed the opinion
that the law permits him to do. and
declared it would be hardship if the
privilege were denied.
DR.. William Tindall, Secretary to the
Board of Commissioners. has reported
to the Board as follows on the subject:
THE obvious occasion for this re-
quest is the omission, from the pro-
viso In the police regulations re-
specting the display of meat, fish. fowl,
game, and poultry outside of stores.
of any explicit indication that it ap-
plies to both living animals and the
whole, or fragments, of their carcasses.
although this proviso was originally
inspired by the complaint of citizen
against the once common practice of
exposing in front of stores the dead
bodies OF animals and parts thereof for
sale for food, its phraseology does not
necessarily imply that it refers to dead
animals alone.

The Republicans, However, Will Prob-
 ably Insist That He Aecept-A
 Vigorous Denial.
 The Phoenix Republican. which ar lived last evening, contains an interview with Auditor W. F. Nichols, whose home is at Wilcox in this coun- ty, regarding his candidacy for dele gate to congress. The Republican says:
 In a conversation yesterday on the political situation in the territory, Judge w. F. Nichols stated to a Re publican representative that he was in no sense candidate for the repub- lican nomination for delegate to con gress, and must not be considered as a candidate, and that he would take it as a favor if the widest possible publicity could be given to the fact. Ever since Governor Murphy suggest ed early last spring that the territor- ial auditor would make an ideal can didate for congress there has been considerabl talk in favor of the prop osition throughout the territory. and it was suggested yesterday to the judge that the Republicans advices from numerous localities indicated a general feeling of friendship and pref erence for him, and that there seemed to be a strong desire, in fact, that he | should lead the party in the coming campaign.
 Judge Nichols said he was aware of the gossip connecting his name with the nomination, and had not overlook ed the fact that a number of his friends had publicly announced them selves for him, but he said he regret ted very much that there had been more or less publicity given the sug gestion of his candidacy. He had not felt it proper heretofore, he explained to take public notice of the discussion for he felt that it would be bad taste to rush into print and decline a nom ination which had not been offered to him. But now, he said, the matter had reached point where he felt tha injustice to himself and to his friends everywhere his position should be made known, and he repeated tha he did not want the office, did no wish to undergo the burden of making campaign, and would be gratefu to his friends if they would cease dis cussing him as possible candidate
 The judge was not pressed for a state
 ment as to whether he would accep the nomination should it be force
 upon him, for 1t was clear that h
