USE OF PALM OIL IN
OLEO is COSTLY
Internal Revenue Commission Says
Product Must Bear Higher Tax.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June q
Commissioner Yerkes, of the internal
revenue bureau, has decided the case
of Chicago oleomargarine manu-
factory, in which was involved the
question as to whether maximum or
minimum rates should be assessed on
Oleomargarine in the manufacture of
which palm oil had been used. In
the case decided today a very small
quantity of palm oil was mixed with
cotton seed oil, the result being to
give the finish product a shade of
yellow like butter.
The commissioner holds that the
yellow tint given to the oleo by the
use of palm oil with cotton seed oil
was in effect artificial coloration with
in the meaning of the law and hence
the product was subject to a tax of 10
cents pound instead of one fourth of
a cent, the tax assessed on uncoI-
ored cleo. The amount involved in
this case is about $35 ,000

DEPUTIES FORCED TO SUE.
Sheriff's Assistants See No Salaries
Coming Their Way.

Whether Otto Lanyum and Henry
Cousineau, both employees in the sher-
ifs office, will receive their salaries
for May is a matter which will be
decided by the court.
The two men began work May: 1
and were appointed in accordance with
the bill passed by the las5 legislature
providing. for additional help for the
sheriff's office. The law says that their
salaries shall be paid out of funds not
appropriated for other purposes, and
as there is-no fund in the county treas
ury not appropriated for some definite
purpose, it is claimed that these SAL
aries cannot be paid.
A statement has been prepared by
Sheriff Dreger and Chief Deputy A. F.
Jones and this has been served upon
G. D. Smith, attorney for the county
commissioners. He will have the mat
ter brought before the court.
The contention of Sheriff Dreger is
that these men are regular employees
of the office and should be paid out of
the same fund from which other off,
GERS are paid and that if there are not
sufficient funds the county commits
sioners must fall back on the emer-
gency fund. :

fs1fRnAzY TIE REAL CulPRIT
APPEALS TO MINISTER OF WAR
AS SUPREME HEAD OF MIL
lTARY JUSTICE.

Paris, April 24-Alfred Dreyfus has
submitted to Minister Of War Andre
lengthy letter~in which he asks Tor
a reopening of his case by means OF
an investigation by the minister, as
the supreme head of military justice.
The letter, which is dated Paris,
April q, confirms the reports that
Dreyfus has been living quietly here
for some time. 1t promises to caise
tremendous agitation among the
various elements of the political
groups for and against Dreyfus.
The first part of the letter IS an
earnest plea that the court which con-
demned him at Rennes was improper
ly influenced, first by the annotated
document ascribed to Emperor Will
lam, and second, by the false testi-
mony of one Of the witnesses, Czern-
uski.
After arguing on the extent to
which these contributed to his con-
demnation, Dreyfus recalls in graphic
terms the long series of horrors to
which he had been subjected.
The letter throughout is couched in
a highly dramatic style, which is like
1y to oanlake it one of the notable pa
pers of the case.
Dreyfus refers to Esterhazy as one
who stands before the entire world as
the culprit.'
