ALL IN THE "GRAFT''
MURPHY SAYS UNIONS oFFI-
 GERS ARE BLACKMAILERS.
Plea for Mercy Draws from the Court a Stinging Rebuke to Ex- Treasurer of the Stone
 Cutters.

New York, July 3i.--Lawrence Murphy former treasurer of the Journeyman Stone Cutters Union, who was arrested last December, charged with embedding $12,00O from the organization and convicted last Monday for grand larceny. was today sentenced to five years and six months in the States prison.
 The prisoners counsel asked for clem- ency for his client, but Judge Newburger scored the prisoner severely, saying that he had spent the funds of the union in riotous living and that his total steal amounted to $27,O0O.
 In the course of his remarks he said:
 T have a letter from John Mitchell embedded by Murphy was paid in by to be contributed to the strike funds of the miners in Pennsylvania.
 This defendant received large sum of money from men who worked by the sweat of their brows to earn an honest living; that they might put honest bread in the mouths of their children.
 "Twenty-seven thousand dollars is a large sum of money indeed. and the evil dence at the trial shows that tt was spent in riotous living and for a trip to Europe"
 When the judge had finished Murphy was crying bitterly and appeared to col lapse. My God" he shouted, this Is wrong Every one of the officers of the Union got a share of the money. There was not one that did not have a finger in the graft.
 Judge Newberger paid no attention to the frantic man. Murphy wants to go to Sing Sing at once.

VENEZUELAN CLAIMS.
The Umpires Do Not See Things the
 Same Way.

Caracas, Venezuela, July a.-The mixed tribunal which is to pass on the foreign claims against Venezuela under the terms of the Bowen protocols is holding its ses- sions in secret and little Is known con- cerning It's proceedings.
 Day before yesterday the first decisions were reached. It Is said they involve some strange contradictions. For instance, Dr. Filz formerly president of the High Court of the Dutch Indies. who is acting in the matter of the French claims against Venezuela. it Is said, recognized all claims arising from the acts of revo- lutionists. whereas Jackson H. Ralston of Washington who Is umpire for Italy, recognized none of them.
 General H. M. Dufileld, umpire for Ger many, recognized claims arising during the revolutionary period, but only the losses of property since 1899.
 Robert c. Morris of New York agent of the United States is taking an active interest in the American claims which he presents skilfully. It Is reported that w. E. Bainbridge. umpire of the United States is not disposed to favorably con slider claims presented by citizens of the United States arising out of revolutionary acts.

 King and Doliff then drew their revolv- CTS which they leveled at their assailants. The crowd increased its hooting and the two men were struck on the head and face. At this they fired into the crowd, which broke and ran. Mount and Cam eron were struck while endeavoring to get out of danger. King and Dolin are in jail and bail has been refused.

 Practically all the salted meats used In Paris and in the interior of France come from Chicago and other American pack ing centers. The United States embassy here has not yet heard directly from the packers who expected to have the aid of the State Department but the Frencn im- porters of American meats are much agi- tated and are forwarding petitions, say ing that their extensive business is threat ened with Instructions

MUST DISTRIBUTE SURPLUS.
Hard Blow Dealt to Insurance Com
 panies.


 panies.
 Milwaukee, Wis. July 31.-The Sentinel tomorrow will say:
 Insurance Commissioner Host yester- day decided that mutual insurance com panies doing business in Wisconsin must distribute their surplus among policy holders at least once in five years.
 The decision affects many companies in this country and involves some $S0.0Oo.- GOO which has been withheld by compa- nies doing business in Wisconsin. That the stand of MT. Host will be fought by the insurance companies there is no doubt.
 The outcome of the case has been watched for months by every company in the country. If the commission is sustained by the courts 1t will make it possible for heirs of dead people to claim surpluses and compound interests that have been withheld, according to an in surance man and endless litigation Is probable.
 The kind of policies that will be affected to the greatest extent are those known as the "Tontine" wherein policy holders and insurance company enter into con- tract by the terms of which the earnings of the policy are to be paid at the end of term of years, generally twenty.

The Minneapolis journal., 1903-04-16

The outlook for the adoption of wide
OPEN tax amendment to the constitution
is not SO good as would appear from a
paragraph in these columns yesterday.
The senate still insists on "a complex
measure that reads like a law instead OF
a section of the constitution. The tax
problem is an intricate one, and no legis-
lative body can properly and progress
sively deal with it, if it is not equipped
with untrammeled powers. There is no
danger that any legislature will ever
abuse these powers. There is no sub
ject in which the people take so much in
terest as in taxa ton, and none on which
they are more conservative. TO secure
any change in the tax laws is uphill work
Yet there are few persons who do not
believe in a general way that our pres
ent systems Of taxation are obsolete in
principle, however real and harsh they
may be in application. We may expect
some great changes in the principles OF
applied taxation In the next few years
and Minnesota ought to be ready to deal
with them freely.
