more suicides died from bullets than
from all other agencies combined. Since
then poison seems TO have been prefer

boats that terrible holocaust was avert
ed.
Many thought that the valuable ship
ping section of Jersey City was doomed,
and the harbor presented an animated
scene as tugs hurried to draw the big
vessels into midstream. The screech Of
myriads of whistles made the air reso-
nant with calliopean discord.
The fire started about o'clock in
the afternoon in pier II, on which lot
Of barrels of oil was stored. The flames
spread rapidly. Pier II was 800 feet
long and was soon ablaze its entire
length, and the firemen who were trying
10 fight the fire from the shore. were
able to accomplish but little. The flames
nwept across to pier IL and beyond,
being finally checked at pier 5, which is
4 new coal trestle, steel framed and
ironclad. Here the firemen and fireboats
made a desperate stand and stayed the
adv ance of the FIRE until the burning
piers crumbled and fell into the water.
Although there was but little wind,
nparks fell all along the water front for
the better part Of n mile, endangering
She Lackawanna depot and even the
Hamburg-American and Bremen line
piers, where the fremen were kept busy
playing streams of water upon the build
ings and over the ships at their docks.
The building of the Hoboken Coke
Company, FIVE blocks from the main
fire, was set ablaze by burning brands,
but the firemen responded quickly and
the building was only slightly damaged.
A number of canalboats and several
tugs were burned, the loss of small boats
being variously estimated at from thirty
to 200.
The number of freight cars burned is
not known, but on this class of rolling
stock and on coal cars the loss will be
heavy.
During the fire the Lackawanna moved
its passenger coaches from its yards out
to the Meadows. and one train of
dozen box cars were hauled out Of a
burning pier and saved.
Piers IL and II were full of general
merchandise. piers Z. 8. Q and 10 were
used for coal, and pier G was grain
loading pier.

All tributaries of the Kaw River in
Kansas are rising rapidly and seri-
Gus flood is threatened. Heavy rains
continuing for two days at time have
prevailed all over Kansas at various
periods within the last thirty days.
Twice within that time most of the
streams have oyerfiowed their banks,
washing out railway tracks and crops,
destroying much property and render
ing several hundred persons tempor-
arily homeless. But each time there
came a lull in the rainfall, the rivers
receded and almost normal conditions
prevailed.
Further heavy rain storms have
again swollen the streams, this time
beyond the height experienced in the
two former rises. While the conditions
are not such as brought on the great
June food of last year, preparations
are being made to meet the situation
as it may develop.
Railroad traffic is demoralized and
already many through trains, both east
and west bound, are stalled. The prin-

The Smoky Hill, the Republican and

casualties have been reported.

Disparity appears in the movement

oLEoMARGARlNE LAW UPHELD.
Court Says Tax on Colored Article Is
Constitutional.

Constitutional.
The United States Supreme Court has
handed down a decision declaring con-
stitut;onal the act of Congress which
imposes a tax Of 10 cents a pound on
oleomargarine when colored like butter.
This verdict is expected to make it diff
cult for butterine manufactures to exist.
- The issue was taken to the Supreme
Court as the result of the prosecution
by United States officials Of Leo ".
McCray. Fifty pounds Of oleomargarine.
colored like butter, were bought by Nc
Cray for resale. On his stock he paid
a tax of one-quarter Of l cent pound,
which is the tax OH uncolored oleomar-
garine, instead of the tax Of 10 cents a
pound. which Congress has declared
should be paid on all oleomargarine col
ored to look like butter. McCray was
convicted in Ohio and then the case was
appealed.
According to the men interested in the
making Of butterine in Chicago, the pay
ment Of the tax not only means loss Of
the money, but it also means loss of
all the money spent in the building Of
the factories. There is no loophole Of
any kind for either the government or
the butterine manufacturers. The decis-
ion says explicitly what constitutes col
oIed butterine, and declares the law to
be constitutional.
