LAW BEING VIOLATED.
Commissioner Yerkes ssues Letter
 to Internal Revenue Collectors.

Washington, September 2.-Commis- sioner Yerkes has issued circular let ter to collectors of internal revenue in which he calls attention to the growing tendency on the part of some persons en- gagged in the sale of distilled spirits to refill with spirits bottles which had once been filled and stamped under the pro- visions of the act of March 3, 1S97
 The commissioner says that while this may not result in fraud on the govern ment, it involves a gross violation of law and enables the offender to impose on the public by dsposing of cheap and inferior grade of whiskey. In view of this fact, collectors are directed to report all violations of the law for prose- cutions.

He said that at the time of the shooting he was in Hargis Bros store, and then went across the street and went into the court house and then went immediately into Hargis store and upstairs into room with K. Hargis, King Ford, Ed Callahan and Douglas Hayes. The shooting seemed to come from the court house. Jett. on cross-examinatlon, made a bad impress sion. He was sullen and often refused to answer. He admitted that he was drinking on the day of the shooting.
 William Spencer and c. w. Fleener were examined for the defense with refer ence to Jetts movements after the shoot ing spencer told of seeing a ladder out side inc court house the morning after the shooting.

Douglass Hays James Brophy and Cash Williams on the stand and all swore that at the time or the shooting Jett was in Hargis brothers store. The Rev. M. w. Hiner's testimony for the defense was of no material value. J. I. Blantin. attorney for the defendant read his own affidavit of what absent wit nesses would swear to.

Practically No Boil WeeViI in
 the State
MIR M'LANE IS DISCREDITED
pr. Howard of the Department of En- tomology Has No Record of WeeviI In Texas Bor-
 der Counties.

Little Rock, Ark, September 21.-Ar- kansas cotton men and especially those in this city, which is the chief market for the state, discredit the statements in the interview given out at Knoxville, Tenn, by Charles P. MeLane, a chemist in the employ of the agricultural depart ment of the United States government who has spent two months studying the boil weevil in the cotton-producing coun- try of the southwest
 MT. MeLane says a portion of Arkansas has been devastated by the boil weevil and that western Arkansas, and espe- cially Hampstead county, presents a des- olate appearance. After a nasty but thorough investigation, it has been es- tablished beyond the peradventure of a doubt that there are no boil weevil In Arkansas. Recently in Woodruff county in this state an insect appeared which caused much damage to cotton and is still causing it.
 Was Not Boil Weevi.
 It was thought by the planters that these insects were the Mexican boil wee vii, but investigation proved them to be the sharp-shooter, a pest which does al- most as great damage as the boil wee vii, but which disappears after one sea- son. and may not appear in the same region for number of years or at all whereas the boil weevil, when once it appears, stays year after year.
 special to the Arkansas Gazette from Hope, the county seat of Hampstead county says the crop there is good. though 1t has suffered some deterioration, but no more than that suffered in other Arkansas counties, and there has been no evidence of boil weevll.
 Gazette special from Washington, D. C., says:
 pr. Howard Talks.
 ''Dr. l.. o. Howard, chief of the de- partment of entomology, said today that he had no record of the boil weevil in any of the northwest Texas border coun- ties. pr. Howard added, however, that there was a bare possibility of isolated cases. For instance. not long ago a few of the weevils were found at the Lou isiana experiment station, and just how they got there was never known.
 "If the weevil had been doing great damage" in Arkansas, the agricultural department would certainly have heard about it. Frequently boil weevil scare is preclpitated by the discovery of insects that resemble the weevil, but are alto- gether different The department Is constantly receiving all sorts of insects which are claimed to be boil weevils, but are not"

Various Reports About TurcO-
 Bulgarian Situation
PUBLIC SENTIMENT STRONG
One Paper Says If the Present sltua- ton Continues an Army Wlll Have to Be Sent to the
 Frontier.

Sofia, September 21.-The unfavorable replies of Austria and Russia to Bulga- ria's last note and the fact that none of the other great powers have yet re- piled, coupled with the allegations that one of the powers Is encouraging the military party at Yldiz Kiosk, tend to create less hopeful feeling here. There is, however. no perceptible change in the situation. Various reports are in eir- culation regarding negotiations between Turkey and Bulgaria looking to a solu- tion of the Macedonian difficulty.
 The Dnevnik says Turkey has pre- sented a note to Bulgaria asking for the latter's assistance In reaching a peace able solution. Bulgaria replied that Turkey must end the massacres, with draw her frontier forces. guarantee peace and protection to the villagers de- string to return to their homes amnesty to the political offenders and introduce such governmental reforms as will oacify Macedonia and Adrianope.
 The Bulgarian reply concluded:
 Public Opinion stronsy
 
 Bulgarian government will be compelled to yield to public opinion and send an army to the frontier"
 It appears doubtful that the government has sent such an answer but the state ment published represents in some degree the governments attitude According to information received at revolutionary headquarters from Monas- tir, 120 persons perished in the flames of their burning villages near NastoriA SIsore l than 1200 bodies of women and children are said to be lying unburied in the field3 and on the roadsides around that place. | It IS reported that five hunceed Turks were killed with dynamite while fighting against a body or insurgents. in the l Kresna defile.

ADMIRAL EVANS
 REVIEWS CASE Says Nicholson Should be Dis missed from the Army SEVERE ON THE OFFICERS Case Was Sufficient to Make Them Blush With shame-Pronounce
 Sentence to Be Totally

SEVERE ON THE OFFICERS

Washington, September 21.-The com plete record of the courtmartial case of Assistant Paymaster Rishworth Nichol- son, on the Asiatic station, received at the navy department today, contains a severe criticism by Rear Admiral Evans of the members of the court which tried Nicholson because of the inadequacy of the punishment inflicted by the court.
 It was alleged that while on shore at Che Foo, China, Nicholson became intox- icated and assaulted an elderly civilian. The sentence of the court was that Nich- olson be reduced five numbers in his grade. Rear Admiral Evans. in reviewing the case. says the evidence was of such character that the sentence should have been nothing less than dismissal from the navy. Three officers of the court recommended elemency-
 These three officers says Admiral Evans. have proved to the converting authority. and to the fleet their unworth- mess hereafter to act as members of a court.
 Should Blush With Shame.
 Tt is sufficient to make their brother officers blush with shame. to realize that there exists among the commanding off, cers of the navy at least four-for that was the smallest number required by law to have arrived at the findings and sem tence in this case-who have so little in- terest in maintaining the honor dignity and discipline of the service, and so small an idea of the binding quality of the oath which they took as members of the court"
 The admiral disapproved the sentence as totally inadequate and insufficient and said 1t should not serve as precedent in future instances.
 Nicholson is native of California. only $30. High license on insurance com panies only means an indirect tax on prop erty owners. The cost of doing business influences the rate on insurance, conse- quently with a reduction of license a re- duction in the price of insurance will fol- low"

Green Bay, Wis, is not on the list of can
didates for coadjutor to Archbishop Kahn

Neither does the lame OF any priest OF

pointed to consider his resolution declar-
ing the Monroe doctrine should be given a
commercial as well as political a%pplica-

ton.
The special committee reported in sym
patty with the resolution so far as the
purport was to extend and cement the

republics, The report continues that the
committee believes that the matters in

we're foreign to congress. Hence 1t was
resolved that the resolutions be referred
to the governments. The resolution was
laid on the table.
