TAX ALCOHLIC MEDICINES.
Capars Recommends This When the
Stuff Is Suited for Beverage.

StuIi - SN1tSA wi SvO'cbCs
Washington, Oct. 16.-Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue Capers has rem
dered decision relative to the manu-
facture and sale Of alleged medicinal
alcoholic compounds, where on anal
ysis it is found that the said alleged
medicinal compounds are suitable for
use as beverage.
Summing up an elaborate opinion,
the commissioner holds as follows:
"That a special tax is required for
the manufacture and sale Of alleged
medicinal alcoholic compounds, or for
the eale of the malt extracts manufac.
tured from fermented liquors, the drugs
used in the manufacture of which are
not sufficient in amount or character to
render the compound unfit as bev-
erage, or in the case of cordials, ex-
tracts or essences, in which the amount
of alcohol is greater than is necessary
to preserve the ingredients or to extract
the properties or to cut the oils, and
hold the same in solution.
Manufacturers of alcohol medicinal
compounds, malt extracts, favoring ex-
tracts, essences and soda water syrups
who wish to avoid liability for special
taxes must satisfy themselves that their
products are within the limits herein
defined, and those who put out alco-
holic compounds of doubtful medicinal
value or containing questionable pro-
cess of alcohol must do so at the risk of
being required to pay special taxes for
the manufacture and sale Of the same. "

Fontanet Explosion Injured 600 Be-
sides Those Killed.

Fontanet, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE latest
estimate of the destruction wrought by
the explosion at the Dupont powder
mills ia that 38 persons were killed,
800 injured, so seriously, and proper
ty loss OF approximately $3.50, 900 caus-
ed by workman employed in the glaz'
ing mill. 1t was learned today that a
"'hot box" due to too much friction on
the shafting causing sparks to be trans
mitted to come loose powder, was in all
probability the cause of the terrible
catastrophe. The employe, whose
name is william Sharrow, and who is
dangerously hurt as the result OF the
explosion, said:
"The explosion was caused by loose
boxing on the shafting. The day before
the explosion happened we had to throw
water on the boxing when it became too
not. This time it got too hot and sent
off sparks that caused the explosion"

MAYOR OPPOSES
GRADE CROSSINGS
GETTING DATA FROM OTHER
CITIES
Seventh Street Bridge May Become an
Issue-Fender Gases Growing
Interesting-other Rail-
road News

Mayors Secretary Herbert D. Ken-
nedy is writing to other cities for data
concerning grade crossings, with a view
to equipping Mayor A. c. Harper with
information to be used in a message
against maintaining these death traps
Though Los Angeles has been unus-
ually fortunate in regard to slaughter
at these crossings, in other cities the
loss of life and manning of passengers
has been frightful.
While Mayor Harper opposes grade
crossings, his message will be directed
more against future crossings than
those which have been established for
years. For these he feels no response
bility, much as he would like to have
them removed. Elevated bridges or de-
pressed tracks in future will, he thinks,
avoid these dangers.
The Seventh street bridge is likely to
prove an issue because of this feature.
It's present plans provide for a surface
crossing, though sentiment is rapidly
forming against this dangerous plan.
There is time to change the plans In
this case, but the Salt Lake road inter-
ests oppose a change because it will
make ingress and egress from their
yards more difficult for teams With a
raised bridge much property would
have to be built and a long incline
built. For this purpose the city has
no funds.
One of the most dangerous series of
crossings in Los Angeles is that at
Also street and the Los Angeles river.
Here the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific
and Salt Lake roads cross the car tracks
at each end of the bridge. Thousands
of passengers daily on the Pasadena,
Monrovia and San Gabrial cars are
obliged to pass over this death trap.
