tiers by Rebate.

Grand Rapids, Mich. Aug. 1S.-Lep-
ping Il Co., coal dealers, are in serious
trouble with the government on a
charge of short weight delivery. The
firm has the contract to supply the
federal building and rendered a state
ment showing the delivery Of ninety
seven tons
The janitor of the government bu.ld.
ing, it is claimed, as inspector cf de-
livery, visited the coal yard and caught
Henry Lepping manager Of the com
pany, in the act of manipulating the
scales. BY the use of a small iron
burr, 1870 pounds OF coal were made
to weigh ton. Information was con
veyed TO the authorities in Washing
ton, and under instructions the custodi-
an here notified Lepping that his
weights were found snort.
To square matters, Lepping consent
ed TO the annulment OF the contract,
also TO a deduction Of 1880 pounds of
coal from the account rendered.
The department has instructed that
prosecution follow. and It is probable
Lepping will be arrested under war
rant issued from a state court. al
though the case may be brought in the
United States court.
The maximum penalty under the
state law Is ten years and under fed.
eral law five years.
Lepping & Co. have had the school
and city coal supply contract at differ
ent times. Two years ago the firm
had trouble with the school board on
the ground OF inferior quality. and last
year they threw up the city supply
when prices went up.

Fust's Bill Sidetracked.
Representative Charles Fust's bill
making it a misdemeanOr for minor to
misrepresent his age in order to secure
liquor was sidetracked by the q. p"
Indefinite postponement) route The
father Of the bill who lives in the first
ward Of Minneapolis, attacked the pres
ent law relating to the sale of liquor to
minors as a legal device for extorting'
blackmall from saloon-keepers. Repre-
sentative O'Laughlin would not admit
Fust's side. He insisted that if the
bill became a law it would prevent minors
from testifying and the result would be
that there would be no convictions for
selling liquor to boys. which would be in
finitely worse The representatives were
quite of this opinion and prepared the bill
for a funeral in a hurry.
Red Kerosene Frowned On.
The freak bill by Representative Mork
which requires that kerosene intended
for illuminating purposes shall be colored
red was sent to keep company with Fust's
bill. .-~ f..
