Waterloo, Oct. 30.-"Is A. B. Pugf
drowned in the &c lar river?' That is
a question that Is bearing heavy or
the mind Of Mrs. Lawrence Sullivan
of Cedar Rapids.
1t will be remembered by the read
ers of this paper that a grip evidently
belonging to the young man was found
last week in the Cedar river near tn.
ice houses in this city, on the east
side. At the time there was consid-
cradle mystery about the finding OF
the grip, in the police circles.
The grip belonged to A. B. Pugh, q
blind boy, whom Mrs. Sullivan Of Ce-
dar Rapids, the mother. thought to be
safe in the blind school at Vinton
She became aware of the finding OF
the grip Saturday and investigation
shows that the lad had left the blind
school and his whereabouts are un-
known. The mother is greatly worried
about the matter.
Cedar Rapids, Oct. 3O.--Mrs. Law
renee Sullivan, living at 1113 South
Fourth street, received word from the
officials OF Waterloo that grip, sup
posed to belong to her son, A. B. Pugh,
has been found in the river at that
place. The grip is said to have con
tanned some undertaking, some let
tiers and a rock
Mrs. Sullivan at once commenced
an investigation. The boy, who 's lad
OF Is years, is almost totally blind. and
had been sent to the blind inst.tut.
at vinton, and the mother supposed
her boy was in that Institute 1t was
ascertained, however, that the boy
had left the blind institute on Oc-
tober IL and that nothing was known
of his whereabouts. Nothing further
could be ascertained over the tele-
phone and Mrs. Sullivan left for VIM
ton to make full investigation.
The presence OF the gr p in the river
at Waterloo might indicate number
OF things and the mother is naturally
very much worried. 1t suggests that
the boy may possibly have met with
foul play and been thrown in the
river, or 1t might mean that he had
wandered into the river owing to his
defective sight, and been drowned.
Again 1t might mean that the boy mad
thrown the grip into tho river.

which was thought at the time sufficient to cover
the exigences of the case but since that time the
foreign manufacturers have made a move which, it
is said the Secretary's order at naught and it
was for the purpose OF checkmating their latest
scheme that the department acted to-day.
For n number of years American manufacturers
of gold leaf have made an uphill fight against the
foreign made product. In addition to cheap labor,
the foreign manufacturers employed more alloy
than the American gold leaf makers, and were
thus enabled to compete successfully with the leaf
made here and protected by the tariff. But the
superior quality of the American gold leaf finally
became recognized throughout the trades that use
it for and decorative purposes, and the sale or
the Old World product fell off. In order to sell
much of their leaf possible the German makers
then initiated the size and style Of the books OF
their American competitors. and for time man
aged to palm off their leaf as American made.
To crcumvent this the United States Gold Leaf
Manufacturers Association petitioned the Treasury
Department 10 issue an order compelling the for
egn makers to place the words made in Ger
many'-Or whatever country il hailed from-On
''the cover of each book containing the gold leaf
After an Investigation of the merits OF the case,
Secretary Shaw issued the order requested. and
for a time the American manufacturers were pro-
teced from the competition of counterfeiters. But
within the last few days the American trade repre-
sentatives have learned that their foreign rivals
had evolved another plan. Outside of each book of
gold leaf. it was discovered the German manu-
facturers had fastened tissue paper cover. This
thin covering Of course. received the stamp made
in Germany but when the books found their way
into the channels Of trade. these himsy outside
sheets were mysteriously missing Either the de-
signing wholesalers. the jobbers or the retailers
had torn them off leaving the gold leaf books, as
they had been before. the duplicates of the Amer-
can-made product
As soon as the latest trick discovered, the
Gold Leaf Manufacturers Association took up the
matter and wrote to Secretary Shaw, asking for
audience. This the Secretary granted. and set to
day for the hearing. Frank Il Scardefed. chair
man of the tariff committee of the United States
Gold Leaf Manufacturers Association. and Rob
ert Hastings OF Philadelphia, said to he the largest
individual manufacturer Of gold leaf in the Coun-
try appeared the SecTetarys office and explained

KENTUCKY BANK TAX LAW VOID.
Held To Be a Discrimination Against Ma
tional Banks.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Supreme Court of the
United States to-day affirmed the decision of the
United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District
Of Kentucky in the case OF the city OF Covington
against the First National Bank, of COvington
holding the Kentucky law requiring national banks
Of that State TO make Of all shares for taxa
ton purposes invalid. The opinion was delivered
by Justice Day, and based on the ground of
discrimination against national banks.
The original action brought to en1oin the
assessment of taxes on certain shares Of the cap
ital stock Of the bank for the years 1898 1900 and
TO enjoin the arrest OF the president and cashier
of the bank for not listing the shares. It
contended that under the Kentucky statute known
as the Hewitt act an irrevocable contract had
been entered into with the State, governing taxa
tion. The law under which the attempt TO change
the method Of taxation made was that OF 1900
and il was made retroactive. After considering in
detail the various points involved in the case
Justice Day says:
Without considering the question Of constitutional
power TO tax nonresident shareholders by means of
This retroactive law il seems TO that in imposing
the bank the liability for the past wears for
