WHISKY STORED IN GERMANY.
DistilleFs Find II Cheaper Than Paying
Taxes In This Country.
From the Louisriile Hero


It is not generally known that Louisville
distillers and warehouse men own ware
houses In Germany In which considerably
more than a million gallons Of kentucky
whisky is stored and will some time be re-
turned to this state. Duty to the amount
of S5,l2s So was collected at the local custom
house yesterday on reinported whisky.

A large part Of this collection was on Ken

About $500 barrels Of Kentucky whisky
Is now stored in the customs warehouse
here consigned to local dealers. This whisky
has spent several years In Germany. Origi-
nally distillers assigned as reason for ex-
porting whisky TO Germany and import
ing II again that it got peculiar sea flavor
in crossing the ocean, which improved It.
Many a Kentucky Colonel disputed this fact
on tho basis that Kentucky whisky cannot
be improved after II 10 properly aged.
The real reason, however, for storing
whisky in Germany 10 to save money. al
though there may be the contributing rea-
son of securing q sea flavor. The national
law formerly provided that whisky must
be taken out OF bond inside OF three years,
and tho tax Of d 10 q gallon must be paid
on IL when taken out. 1t also provided
that IL whisky be exported such tax would
not have to be paid on It at tho time Of the
taking II out, and further that II might be
reimported upon payment OF Si.lo q gallon.

made In America i4 S2.2S.
Many distillers and warehousers found
II cheaper to export the whisky and import
IL later than TO borrow the money for in
ternal revenue taxes. An enormous guam
tity of whisky was then sent abroad. and
as Germany is the only country which will
admit 1t without payment Of . duty II was
sent there. Both Asxioo and Canada i'm

THE OYSTER QUESTION.
A Controversy. Seemingly Perennial. That
Divides Voters I'm Maryland.

1t doesn't make any particular difference,
apparently. to the voters of Maryland
whether there is an .R' In . month or not
the oyster controversy goes on just the
same. 1t divides parties; it divides neigh
bors; it divides households in way that
seems inexplicable to the voters in other
States.
There is in Maryland what is known as the
oyster vote, made up Of those fishermen,
dredgep boatmen, packers and sorters
who vote In the counties Of Maryland which
are on or are near Chesapeake Bay or the
Potomac River or their tributaries. There
are twenty-four counties in Maryland, Of
which twenty are on the Chesapeake, the
Potomac or the Atlantic Ocean.
Maryland isa close State and more than half
OF the counties are evenly divided between
the two parties. Under these circum-
stances the oyster vote is often decisive
and 1t is the custom Of both political parties
to adopt at their conventions an oyster
plank favorable to the demands Of those
whose livelihood comes from the oyster
business.
There are two reasons why the oyster
question seems to be no nearer settlement
now than it was begun. While the oyster
men are numerous in Maryland, they are
not so numerous as farmers. and wholesale
concessions made to the oystermen entail
burdens which the farmers would have to
bear. Neither party. therefore, Ia disposed
to yield to the oystermen as much as thew
demand, and with both parties competing
for the oyster vote these unsatisfied demand
remain a source of controversy,
The second reason for the permanence
Of this dispute is that the conditions Of
oyster growing and oyster gathering are
such that probably no law which human
ingenuity could devise would take the
question out Of politics. Oyster beds along
streams have no fixed limitations. There
are usually several claimants for each
| oyster bed and the. State of Maryland has
maintained for years an oyster navy to
enforce the rights Of lawful possessors.
The maintenance OF the oyster industry
a certain size should be gathered and
marketed. But the oyster dredgers are
more interested in immediate returns than
in the perpetuation Of the industry, and they
seek, therefore, to get in as many oyster
as possible, regardless Of the effect OF this
on the future oyster supply Of the State.
TO limit this evil is the purpose Of Maryland
places the party responsible for it in great
danger OF permanently losing the oyster
votc.
It ia under these circumstances that the
! controversy has been going on for many
I, wears and ia now being carried forward
with as much vjgor as ever in Maryland
oveHhadowing in many of It's counties
more important State issues. particularly
the, one relating to the disfranchisement

THE CALIFORNIA GIRLS.

Among the new attractions an
nounced for this season on the bur
lesque trail, "The California Girls"
the latest addition to this field OF
amusement is claimed to be the stal
number.
Commencing with the Saturday mat
inee performance, this combination
will occupy the boards at the Lyric
during the week of September 2.
There are whole lot of good things
that are quite out of the ordinary,
promised with this new candidate for
public approval, not the least of which
is a living bouquet of feminine beauty
and loneliness, which it is claimed,
makes all enchantresses look like
soiled deuces in seven-up deck.
Then there is said to be chorus OF
cultivated female voices that blend in
delightful harmony; comedy creations
which are productive of the most
hearty laughter.
Despite the fact that the show is
of great magnitude and contains num-
berless features, the program is ar
ranged so that the acts follow each
other in such raip succession that not
an idle second of time occurs from the
first rise until the final fall OF the
curtain.
Prominent in the list of principal
entertainers with "The California
Girls" are "The 4 Thoroughbreds, Inc

there was much rebellion, and the in

pointed out that If all the clerks went
out together the women would be jos
tied in the corridors by the men who
were hurrying to get away. She sug
gested thai it would be a graceful act
on his par: to restore to the women
clerks the old privilege of going home
half an ho1r before the closing time.
