WAR TAX REDUCTION
Bill to Be Framed by Commit
toe at Once.
PRACTICAL REPEAL IS FAVORED.
4 Majority Of Ways Rnd Means Nem-
bers Said ia he Prepared 10
Cut OF Almost the Entire
xUS, 900. 800,

WASHlNGr6N. Jan. 30 The Re.
publican members of the ways and
means committee held private con.
ference last night and decided to frame
bill for The reduction of war revenue
taxes before proceeding further with
the subject Of Cuban reciprocity.
Chairman Payne ut one" called a
meeting Of the full committee for IL
O'Clock this morning when work ON
the war revenue reduction bill was be-
gun. No draft of bill has been pre-
pared BY the Republican mcmhers. but
1t is pretty fully understood that the
majority Is prepared to favor Il meas
ure effecting very large reductions,
amounting practically to a repeat Of
the entire war taxes aud agyrsgating
about SOS. S.ooo.n00. The restriction OF
recent hearings to beer and tea led to
the belief that reductions might be con-
fined to these two articles. but the
sentiment Of the majority now appears
to be favorable 10 much larger reduc-
ton.
At the conference 1t waS the prevail
ing view that as Cuba had been the
cause for inctlrring the war revenue
taxes the burden should be removed
from this country before considering
the extent Of relief to be granted to
Cuba.
The question of what percentage Of
reduction In tariff rates could be made
for Cuba was not considered at the
meeting last night owing to the de-
termination to leave this until after the
war revenue reductions had been ac-
complished.

In executive session, and the sentiment
bf the mcnbers was unanimously

The presence m Albany of several

ABOUT
SMALLPOX,

Miss Annie Gallagher Of No.
6l0 Madison street is the latest
victim Of smallpox. The depart
ment has it's hands full trying to
keep Il quarantine. An executive
officer OF the Board of Health
says: Il would prefer many times
over 10 maintain IL quarantine on
cololed persons than | would on
white. A colored person has a
great respect for the law, ut least
our laws and rules despite the
usual opinion to the contrary. An
other thing that pleases IL negro
is that he is getting fed and kept
warm without any trouble on cx-
pense to himself Some negroes
have told us that we feed them
better than they ever were fed
and | have had them sometimes
when We asked them what they
wanted for the day would order
as many as four kinds Of meats.
or course they did not get them
but the food we supplied was above
what they usually received. In
addition to this we supply fuel
and the negro being kept warm
comfortable and well fed without
trouble to himself, to use slang,
duriug quarantine lives on Easy
street. l remember once after we
raised the quarantine on a colorod
house, three Of the inmates said
that they were sorry that they were
being released. A negro under
quarantine will obey strictly every
order given while white person
will frequently rebel therefore give
me aquarantine on negro house
to maintain rather than one on
house in which white persons are
confined"
The Board of Health complains !
Of the physicians who delay in
reporting their suspicious.
Old practitioners who have ex-
perience in handling small pox cas-
es and epidemics declare that u
physician as soon as he has his
suspicious regarding case should
report it to the Board of Health.
The health department should
then send its expert Oh smallpox
to the house and make an investi-
gatton. If the person is really
suffering from the disease the
house and all its inmates should
be quarantined. One physician
said last night that it would be
better to quarantine fifty persons
on suspicion that smallpox is in
the house in which they are To-
Gated than to allow them to run
around the city inoculating others
until the disease actually develops
1t is reported that one OF the
houses now under quarantine
that the disease was sus-
pected for at least two days be-
fore it really broke out, and ex-
perienced men say the Board OF
Health should insist that physi-
clans as soon as they have their
of a case, should report
t and not wait until the case be-
zones fully developed and the
Emergency Hospital at Farm
hurst is still unfinished.

UTAHpS MODEL TOWN


There is one town in the United
States whose inhabitants do not hun
ger for the flesh pots of other commu-
mites laying claim to a higher de-
gree of culture. The place is named
vernal and it is situated not far from
the reservation of the Uintah Indians
in Utah One of its attractions is
that there has never been any local tax
levied on the townspeople, for the rea-
son that the sensible system of city
government provides perfectly ade-
quate income without the necessity
of taxation. Nothing is given away
by the city government of VernaL. If
any franchises or privileges are desired
they must be paid for and paid for at
full value. Saloons are looked upon
as a luxury that can be dispensed with,
but as the town is not a total abstin-
ence community the saloons are al
lowed to exist by the payment of a
large fee to the treasury.
Crime is taxed to the utmost. Fines
rather than Imprisonment are the
punishment for evildoers. Instead of
a prisoner being supported for a term
at the expense of the city he is mulcted
in sum deemed commensurate with
the enormity of the offense and the
money goes into the towns exchequer.
In this way the burden of the city's
expenses is placed on the shoulders of
those who deserve to be made to bear

He dragged table into the moonlight
and wrote.
'Oh, God,'' he gasped, what have
done?"
The eyes still burned into hie soul
awfully, insistently.
AS he stood there, racked in mind
and soul, it seemed to him that his
deeds passed before him in review.
He saw how the Beast of Greed had
broken down the barriers of virtue,
how it had secured him with chains,
link by link, until low he was bound
hand and foot; he saw with his souls
e. the image Oh the Beast gloating
over hin, yes, even fattening en- his
hearts blood. Should he break the
chain? Then, with a diabolical swift
ness and a seeming knowing skill of
their own, other thoughts filled his
mind. He thought of the ease he
could enjoy, the open house he could
keep, the elegant furnishings, the nns
dinners, the sense of ease and ele-
gance he would have, and of a beau
tiful woman who. perhaps. would
some d. sit at his side, before this
very fire with him.
AS these thoughts filled his brain
his heart was tortured and wrenched
by the sight of those eyes, which now,
after a momentary dulling Of their
keenness, seemed to burn into his soul,
until they seemed to grow and come
nearer, to scorch him with their
scorn. Frenzied, he stood for a mo-
ment, swaying a little, his hands
clasping and unclasping. His mouth
curved down, and deep lines furrowed
the corners, as, in half choked, hiss
ing tone that seemed to come from
the deepest cell in his lungs, he gasp
ed: "Ah! You would tempt mel
Those hell-born thoughts which seem
to steal my very soul, came from you.
Beast
Then he turned and dragged table
into the moonlight, and with shaking
fingers wrote:
Arthur D. Motley, Attorney: Sir
The missing will is found. The Stones
have all. Come to me for Christ's
sake. HARLAND.
He sealed it hastily and directed it.
Then stealthily, fea-fully, he twisted
his head back without moving his
body. Slowly, forced on by his will.
his eyes turned until-ahi
He fell back in his chair trembling,
great wave of revulsion sweeping
over him. The eyes were closed.

Sometimes the very means crooks
take to cover their tracks, said an
old secret service officer, are the
very means that lead to their arrest.
1 was detailed on a robbery case in
Washington not long ago. A young
man employed in the treasury depart
ment reported that he had been
drugged and robbed. We had been
having lots of trouble with the knock
out-drop people, but never could lay
our hands on the right persons. They
simply had us logged and left no
tracks.
The young man said he had become
acquainted with two men and had TAX
en- few drinks with them. 1 ques-
toned others in the department and
one of the janitors in the place, when
asked about the men the young fell
low had been with, said, Il know them
They room at my house. They are all
right, and have been living with me
for long time.
THE young man did not lave any
suspicious, but decided to have talk
with the men. The upshot of it was
that l arrested both of them, and they
both confessed. When they were
locked up one of them told me how
they worked 1t was their game to

Master Malcomb H. Burton, the
6-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Wal
ter H. Burton of Roanoke, Va,
is just now attracting con-
siderable attention. There is moth
ing especially prepossessing about the
child from a physical point of view.
In fact, he is rather small for his age,
and will not weigh over forty pounds.
He has been in the public schools for
two weeks, and in that time has
evinced an extraordinary aptness in
mathematics.
Little Malcomb has developed into a
mathematical prodigy, but his inclina-
lions along this line were well known
to his parents before he was started to
school. He is able to solve any or
binary example of the four fundamen-
tai principles of arithmetic without diff
ficulty. He knows the multiplication
table perfectly, and can carry four
columns of figures in his mind at one

TRICKS OF CROOKS

take lodgings in a thoroughly respect
able family house. They kept away
from the hang-outs for thieves and
other crooks, and kept proper hours
in order to create the impression that
they were honest. But the thing that
puzzled me was that none of their
victims ever could tell how they doped
them, and the fellows put me on to
that, too.
When they got a mark, and knew
he had money, one of them would
start a vigorous argument. In the mid
die of it he would take out his lead
pencil on some pretext or other, and,
when emphasizing his remarks, would
rap on the table with his pencil, and
sometimes on the edge of the victims
glass. That was the game. The pen
ell was hollow part way, and filed
with crystals of choral. AS the
crook raped on the edge of the glass
the poison shook out into the drink,
and the victim was doped before his
own eyes. They had a large quantity
of choral and several of the hollow
pencils in their room, but they won't
be needing them for a long time"
