only are they Identical in language, or
nearly so, but it seems as II some one
must be canvassing the country, pro-
crossing from state to state, because
petitions are sent first to one sena-
tor and then to another.
These petitions have continued to
pour in upon the senate in extraor-
binary numbers. A large percentage
of the signatures evidently are not
those of voters. Thousands Of women
have signed the papers, and many
Sunday schools have subscribed names
in block. Some petitions are mani
testify written entirely by the same
person and seem to be copies of some
list. In quite a large majority OF
cases the petitions were evidently sub
scribed to at some sort OF meellng,
because the ink is the sames thruout
and experts say the same pen was
used.
Mr.. Smoot was sworn in and mas
been a. senator for more than six
months and during all that time the
petitions have increased in number in
stead of diminishing, as everybody
s1pposed would be the case. Before
the senator took his seat the petitions
and protests were far less numerous
than they are now, altho that was the

junction was filed yesterday against
DR.. w. A. Evans, DR.. Adolph Gehr-
mann, United States Commissioner
A. D. Solomon and others, charging
them with conducting a school where
in the pupils are taught to manufac-
ture limitations of various liquors and
cordials. A suit for $4,000 damages,
it is said, will follow. The action was
begun by attorneys representing the
Fratelli Branca company, Milan, Italy,
who charge that the academy, the
first of it's kind in America, teaches
how to initiate various brands of IL
quors. In proof they show the acad-
emys catalog, in which it is stated
that pupils are taught:
How to manufacture gins, runs, brand
| les, bitters, cord1als and specials, such as
damina cordia, fernet branca, ETC., in fact
every kind Of liquor there is on the mar
ket.
How to make the essence and all the in
gradients used in the manufacture of the
same.
How to initiate imported liquors and
straight wfiskies.
How to give new WHISTLES artificial age
! How to give low proof goods strength.
| Charles Norton, who is at the head
of the academy, made the following
statement:
"Our processes are perfectly legiti-
mate. We aim in our academy to
teach the compromising, rectifying
| and distilling Of all spirits and liquors
BY this We mean all specific brands
| We analyze the various liquors and
teach the compromising of them. Our
policy is at all times to instruct ou1
pupils not to use the names or labels
of these liquors, but If they see fl
to do it, we have no way to prevent
them"

rested several years ago in England
for .counterfeiting, but he escaped by

to the other powers that immediate steps
be taken to put into operation plan

Tho this proposed action will be an
