1t can be made from potatoes, waste
fruit, such as apples, peaches, prunes,
and so forth 1t is the revenue tax on
alcohol that makes it so high. This
tax is taken off the denatured alcohol
and it can be sold very cheaply. 1t
shows the selfishness of human ma
ture when we learn that the people
interested in the sale of coal oil tried
very hard to prevent the removal OF
the tax on this denatured alcohol be-
cause it would injure their trade. AL
cohol can, and will doubtless, very
largely take the place of gasoline for
motive power. But the supply OF gasO-
line is in the hands of the oil dealers,
hence their opposition. With this de-
natured alcohol we can heat our
houses and run our gasoline engines.

abundantly and then let it be burned

this volume also. The Rural New
Yorker editorially says of this work:
eve repeat what we have said be-
fore. that this is by far the best work
on varieties of apples that has ever
been issued" I have no hesitancy in
saying that 1 fully endorse this state
ment Money would not buy these two
volumes from me ii L could get no
others. The work is not on the mar
ket and perhaps never will be. In
this issue I use this work in answer
ing certain queries about apples and
no doubt but l shall often have occas-
ion to refer to it again.
On the 10th day of June | noticed
some very fine looking apples on the
Seattle market They were the Gano
or Black Ben Davis. The two apples
are very much alike, but have not
been of the opinion that they are 1den-
tical. The Black Ben is darker ap-
ple as grown by me and others with
whom I am acquainted, than the Gano.
I do not care to enter into the discus
sion of the difference between these
apples. Either one of them is fine
looking apple and is a long keeper.
Very few apples of any other variety
are now on the market here. This is
a point in favor of these apples or
this apple, as the case may be. They
were retailing in the Seattle markets
at five cents each. A few carloads OF
these apples held in cold storage and
put on the market the fore part OF
June, when the boats are leaving for
Nome, would bring big money any
year. Apples of the Ben Davis type,
as these are, will sell at high prices
when there is nothing else in the
market.
am glad to know that the denatur-
ed alcohol bill has become law So
far as | am concerned | would not
care whit if all alcohol except what
is used in medicine, was denatured
What is meant by denaturing alco-
hol is to put it through some process
so it is unsafe to drink Now alcohol
can be made very cheaply and is very
valuable as fuel with which to run

There was no excitement about the bank, and no crowds of clam bring depositors was to be seen.

OPERATORS MEET.
Soft Coal Miners Discuss Plans of
 Arbitration.

Chicago, May 9.A convention of more than 300 bituminous mine operators met here today for the purpose of discussing a plan of action4to be pursued in the pres ent soft coal Situation in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio It was the sense of the meet ing that the western miners already en- joy that which the eastern miners asked for. and that this fact. together with the low price of coal, precluded the possi- bility of agreeing to the demands of the miners in the west.
 The afternoon session of the coal oper- ators in Illinois. Indiana and Ohio was occupied by discussion of the best way to lay their proposed plans of arbitration before President Roosevelt. No definite conclusions were arrived at, and at the close of the meetings the representatives of the Ohio Operators association met in executive session to determine what action of the concerted associations it will endorse. The Illinois and Indiana members will meet tomorrow and the rep resentatives of the associations of the western and southwestern states will meet in the afternoon to cast final vote on the question of the personnel of the com mittee to be sent to Washington and the representations to be made.

 Haas was discharged some time ago by United States Commissioner Ridgeway but was rearrested at the request of the Washington authorities and taken before Judge Holt Haas and PecAham were charged with conspiracy to induce Holmes to commit the crime of misconduct in of fice," in giving them advance fnforma- tion upon cotton crop report by which it is alleged they profited to the extent of several thousands of dollars.
 It was argued in behalf of Haas that the crime of misconduct in office" was recognized only under the common law of Maryland, which still applies to the District of Columbia, and that it did not constitute an offense of which United States court could take cognizance Judge Holt in discharging the defendant up- held this view of the matter. He said the common law of Maryland could not obtain iE the state of New York, where Haas was arrested and arraigned Judge Holt further said there was nothing to show that Assistant Statistician Holmes was bound to keep the cotton report secret, however reprehensible his actions may have been morally. He also held there was nothing to show Holmes was really an "officer" of. the government.

New York, May 9.-E. H. Hartman oi the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railway systems. who returned from San Francisco yesterday was visited today by Secretary of the Treasury Shaw and NJ. K. Jessup, president of the Chamber of Commerce, with whom he discussed con- ditions in California.
 Mir. Hartman later said that no plans of financial relief, other than those al- ready made, have yet been framed, nor could any definite methods be arrived at until the people of San Francisco--its merchants and professional men-an- nounced an acceptable basis for further financial relief.
 "San Francisco will hold it's business. , said MT. Hartman. "Its merchants are behaving like men. They have not yet thought out any broad plan for recon structing the city.
 "I believe the insurance companies will be liberal in meeting their losses. There must be large amount of salvage
 Regarding financial conditions in San Francisco Mir. Hartman said:

MYSTERY CLOUDS
 KILLING OF SPIEB
SECOND AUTOPSY REVEALS THE FACT THAT THE BULLET PRO- pUCING DEATH WAS FROM THE VICTIMS OWN GUN.

New York, May 9.-Following the fun eral today of Charles L. Spier, the trac- ton manager who was found dead in his home on Staten Island on Monday, fol- lowing an alarm of burglars, second autopsy was performed on the body and the bullet extracted It was found to be of 32-calibre. This was the calibre of his own pistol. The bullet was located in the back under the left shoulder blade. In it's course through the body it had pene- trated the heart The physicians and of- ficials at the autopsy declared themselves puzzled as to how Spier could have stag gared or walked the distance he did after the bullet had, pierced his heart His body was found fully eighteen feet from where the first blood spots in the hallway of his home were noted.
 Strong objection was made today by Mrs. Spier to the holding of second autopsy, which she declared would prove nothing. but Coroner Capill would not give a burial permit till the bullet had been extracted. Consequently the funeral went forward and the body was placed in vault. After a short wait it was re- moved and the autopsy begun in the presence of county officers and represen- tatives of the Spier family.
 District Attorney Kenny expressed the belief this evening that Spier shot him self accidentally but no final report has yet been agreed upon by the authorities who appear to be at odds as to whether the case is one of murder. suicide or ac- cident

COURT
 CONCLUDES HERESY CASE

There is absolutely no truth in any statement that may have been printed saying that the ecclesiastical court in the case of Dr. Crapsey or any member of it, to my knowledge. or in nay belief has an- nounced what it's verdict Is"
 A remark dropped by Rev. IT. c. Boyn- ton of Genesee to the clerk of the court has led many to believe that the court was unanimous for Dr. Crapsey's convic- tion. but differed as 10 the degree of pun ishment. In answer to question as to whether the president and clerk would sign the findings, pr. Boynton replied:
 ''They will all sign them"
 Bishop Walker has the power to modi- fy the sentence if the verdict is against Dr. Crapsey, although he is without power to increase it.
