QUICK END
Moore License Tax Cases
 Postponed.

The case against c. E. Wynn-Johnson
 and the Moore whlrf Co, growing out of
 the license matter were postponed until
 Monday, Sept. IS. The postpon.msnt
 was caused by the action of the defendant
 corporation, through John G. Held, lls
 attorney, tenderIng tho sum of SI,Soo
 for the securing of the payment of tho
 license tax for the year ending June 70.
 Ioo2. Mr. Held stipulated in hls tender that the money was paid subject to ths decision of the Unltsd States supreme court testing tho constltutIonallty of tb, leense tax law as It applies to thoss establishments where the amount of tb. license fee depends upon the volume of business done.
 In making the tender Mr. Held explained that the company had decided | to stand arrest before paying that It may appear clearly that the payment had been made under compulslon and to prevent the conviction for a crime. Thls Is done so that the company might be h position to eemand the refundlng of the money should 1t be decided that the law requiring the payment tf a ll,ense fec Is suneonstltutlOnal or that It Is void In thls Instance,
 The contention of Mr. Held Is that the law Is unconstitutional and further that lt ( s void as applied to merchants, wharf I people and all others engaged In business where the law fixes a license tax th. mount of which depends upon the volume ( f business transacted. The law requires M license fees to be paid ln advance, and C hey argue that the law Is fatally neetaln as It Is impossible to foretslI the plume of business that will be transacted urlng the year, z

TERRIBLE SUFFERING OF SOL
DIERS IN SAMAR.
MANY DIE BY WAYSiDE
Disastrous Results Follow Attempt of
Marines and Soldiers to March
Across IsIand-Lose Their Way,
Run Short of Rations and Delayed
by Storms.

Washington, Feb. 2,-General Chat
fee has cabled the war department
the report of the march OF Major
Waller and his marines across Samar'
It is the first full account of the march
and tells tale of terrible suffering
and hardship Major Waller, four Of
ficers and fifty men of the marine
corps; Lieutenant Lyles of the 18th
infantry and SO native bearers, started
with four days rations during the last
week in December, from Lanang, on
the east coast of Samar, to cross the
island to Basey, about 35 miles dis
tant. The dispatch says:
"Incessant rains from the start,
swollen streams and other natural OBJ
stacles made the progress extremely
slow. When the rations were con-
sumed the men became exhausted rap
idly, dropping on the way. Major
Waller separated from Captain Por-
ter, Lieutenant r. P Williams and the
major part of the men, proceeded
toward Basey where he arrived Janu-
airy 9th, with two officers and thirteen
men, also Lieutenant Lyles. He re-
turned to the mountains the next day
with relief, but returned to Basey
about ten days later unsuccessful
Porter was to build RATS, but the tim
Der would not float The second day
after separating from Waller, Porter
moved toward LananS, arriving there
January II with two men, all exhaust
ed, physically and mentally. Lieuten-
ant r. P Williams and over 80 men
,, were left in the mountains in SINH
lar condition with native bearers. A
relief expedition under Lieutenant
| Kenneth P. Williams of the LIST infantry
was delayed in starting two days by
a storm raging and the torrent in the
river. 1t started Dec. 18th and

Mother Denies Report That She Will
Devote Life to Art

Washington, Feb. Mrs. U. S.
Grant and Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris
are extremely indignant over the re-
port that the latter's eldest daughter,
Miss Vivian Sartoris, had declared
that she would never marry and that
her future life would be devoted en-
tirely to art Mrs. Sartoris said:
I'm the first place. 1 have not
spoken to anyone concerning my
daughter in any such respect, as she
has never to my knowledge had any
such ideas. In the second place, my
daughter Vivian is not an artist, nor
has she talent in that line. My
second daughter, Rosemary, who is
spending the winter at San Reno for
her health, is an artist and during
he stay in Italy has been doing con-
siderable sketching and painting.
Vivian has spent the winter in London
and has not since leaving America
been at any time in Paris. Early in
the autumn she wrote saying that she
wished to take up the study of
literature. She has been all winter at
Kings college, from Monday morning
to Friday afternoon"

And Children Have Typhoid Fever as
Result.

Result.
Sheboygan, Wis, Feb. 1.-Two chill.
dren of Bernhard Jensen, living On
End court, are dangerously i'll from
eating diseased meat, and their lives
are despaired of. About three weeks
ago the family, who are Hollanders
and speak little English, bought some
beef from Hollander, farmer living
three miles from the city. The family
ate sparingly of the meat, and about a
week ago the children we're taken iii.
The boy, aged years, and the girl, 2
years old, lie in stupid condition
most c. the time.
The 3-year-old daughter of H. Bay
ers, living next door, also lunched off
the meat and was taken i'll. The ply
sicians first called in diagnosed the
case as typhoid fever, but yesterday
analysed the oeef with the result
stated. When the farmer sold he
meat he said it didn't look very nice,
as it had been frozen, but admitted
yesterday that the cow was killed te-
cause it was sick. A number Of fam
lilies bought the meat. The parents of
the children also ate of the meat and
have been indisposed at times.
