SERIOUS DEsERTION PROBLEM.
Difficult to Distinguish Leave From
Descrtion.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 1.-THE
military authorities in New York and
other places continue to have trouble
with deserters, whom they desire to
regard in no such light, principally
that the government may be saved
the expense of paying rewards and
so avoid the responsibility for making
disbursements of this sort. There has
always been more or less trouble In
determining between absence without
leave and desertion in a case where
the culprit has been captured and re
turned to trial.
One of the latest cases to engage
the attention OF the war department
is that of Private f. e. McDuffie of
the 4Sth company of coast artillery,
who tried to get away from Fort
Wadsworth, n. Y, and who was cap
tured at Harrisburg. Pa, on train
going westward. The Ft. Wadsworth
court merely fined McDuffie s5 for
absence without leave, but General
Grant disapproved the sentence, on
the ground that McDuffie was guilty
of desertion.

John Broadbent, of Boise, is the big
Eest individual taxpayer in Ada coun-
ty. says the Boise Statesman. He Is
assessed for S12,204, and on Monday
OF last week paid that sum into the
county treasury. The Oregon Short
Line Railway company is the next

assessed at 1880. John Lemp ranks
third on the list of big taxpayers, be-
ing rated at S743S, which sum he paid
into the treasury last week. Next on
the list is Peter Soma, with s5S07. w.
f. Pierce & Co., are also heavy tax
payers. In their own name they con-
tribute $2917, but they likewise pay

MORM0NS BARRED
YOUNG CHILDREN DE-
PORTED TO NEW ZEALAND
Steamship Company MUS Pay Fine of
$1,000 for Violating Immigration
Laws-Mormon Children Sent From
New Zealand to Bennington, Idaho,
Could Not Land.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.-THE Oce-
anic Steamship company was held to
answer yesterday by United States
Commissioner Heacock in the action
brought against 1t by the United
States district attorney TO recover a
fine of $1,000 for the alleged unlawful
landing of four children who arrived
from Auckland, New Zealand, on May
s. 1905. The children were Emma A.
Harding, aged IL years; Robert G.
Harding, Z: william c. Harding, .;
and Charles G.. Harding, g. They were
accompanied by and in charge of Rev.
]. II. w. Goff, Mormon missionary
returning from New Zealand.
Mr.. Goff said that the mother OF
the children was dead and that the
father had sent them with Mr.. Gofi
to be placed in charge of a relative
named Charles Stephens, at Benning-
ton, Idaho. Mr. Goff said that he had
$50 to pay the expenses Of the child
rem to that place, and that their father
would follow shortly.
The fact that Mr.. Goff was n Nor
mon prejudiced the immigration Of
flcers against the new arrivals, anc
under the pretext that the children
were not accompanied by a relative oi
a legal guardian, and might become
charge upon the state, ordered then
deported. An appeal was taken anc
a rehearing granted, but the sentence
of deportation was affirmed.
In the meantime friends put al
bonds with the steamship company Il
guarantee that the immigrants woulC
not become public charges, and thu
children were allowed by the steam
ship officials to proceed to Benning
ton.
Nathan Frank and w. Ford Thoma
represented the steamship compan!
before. the commissioner. 1t develop
ed that United States immigration In
spectors D. ]. Griffiths and Antonio
de ia Tore did not know whether tn
children were in the United States o
not All that they could say was tina
they were not deported on the sam
steamer that brought them.
For reason, probably intimatel
connected with the denial of landin
to the children the immigration offic
ials closely questioned Missionary Goi
as to his religious belief. He reptile
to one question that he believed |
the institution of polygamy. 1t wa
shortly after this declaration that tn
children were ordered deported.

At TER BAD BUTTER
STATE OF WASHINGTON
WILL REGULATE TRADE
Special Adulterated Butter Tax of 10
Cents Per Pound Will BE Cole cted
Hereafter, Where Butter is Not Up
to the Standard-All Butter Con-
tanning More Than 16 Per Cent
Water is Classed as Adulterated.

Butter dealers in the state of Wash
ance of Uncle Sam, says the Walla
Walla Statesman. A suspicion exists
that some of the butter sold in the
state is not up to the standard, and
that the men dealing in it are liable
for the payment of heavy fees to the
government.
Manufacturers Of adulterated but
ter are required under the act of May
Q, 1902. to pay $500 a year; wholesale
dealers $3.50 a year, and retail deal
ers $4S year. In addition all are re-
quired to pay the adulterated butter
stamp tax of 10 cents a pound. All
dealers, wholesale or retail, as well as
the manufacturers, who are found
selling butter containing an abnormal
quantity of water, milk or cream are
liable under the law to pay the spe-
cial tax and the stamp tax.
while all dealers engaged in SELL
ing butter classed as adulterated are
required to pay the special tax and
the stamp tax and the penalty" Dep
uty Collector b. d. Crocker is quoted
as stating, I'VE are aiming primarily
to get at the creameries and manu-
facturers who are putting adulterated
butter on the market.
sixteen per cent of water is the
limit that can be contained in butter
that can be 5classed as unadulterated,
but we haveNfound lots of it containing
as much as 25 per cent. The inten-
ton of the law is that when a man
buys something for butter he shall be
entitled to get what he pays for.
Persons engaged in the business of
| adulterating butter can by an outlay
of 5000 or $500 for machinery pro-
duce from butter bought from ranch
ers at about Is cents a pound an ar
| ticle they can sell for 80 cents or
more a pound. This is accomplished
by the process of padding or work
ing over the different kinds of butter
| I'm which are mixed chemicals, water
sour milk, sweet milk or cream tC
make 1t take on increased weight and
by adding coloring matter to give Il
uniform color"

TWO NEW HEAVY BATTLEsHIPs
Making Plans for Two New 10000 Ton
Vessels.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 1.-THE
naval constructors and the engineer
ing experts of the navy department
are engaged on the plans and specifi-
cations for the two 16,000-ton bat
tleships authorized at the last session
of congress. The designers are pro-
ceeding with their work on the theory
that congress will not be asked to in
crease the displacement. OF course,
naval opinion Is in agreement upon
changes of such displacement increase
but there are other considerations
which evidently control and which
have led to the conclusion that It is
just as well to provide for the ships
of smaller size.
Accordingly, the various bureaus of
the navy department are engaged in
preparing the estimates of weights
which are to be credited to each bu-
reau in the completed vessels. 1t will
be some weeks, of course. before pro-
posals will be invited by the navy de.
partment. In the meantime the ship.
builders are evincing the keenest- in.

VIII Increase Capital Stock.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 1.-THE
shareholders of the Wisconsin Ma
tional bank will meet here this after
noon for the purpose of voting on the
proposition of the board of directors
to increase the capital stock of the
bank from sl,5OO,OOO to $4,000, 900.
The bank was opened on December 5,
1892, with a capital stock of $1,000
600, and the proposed increase. which
will undoubtedly be voted by the
shareholders, will double the original
capital stock of the bank in 13 years
of its existence.

terest in the requirements of the de-
partment.
The principal departure from past
designs of ships of this type is in the
machinery. 1t is under consideration,
whether or not orc ruf the ships shall
be equipped with turbine power in
stead of the ordinary reciprocating
engines. The result of the tests with
turbine steamers have been so favor
able, that a strong sentiment in favor
of that method of propulsion has de-
veloped among progressive experts.
