FEDERAL COURT DECIDES
AGAINST DISTILLERY CO.
Upholds Right of Internal Revenue
Commissioner to Prescribe New
Rules for Branding Products.

Cincinnati. July Judge Safer. in
the United States court here last mid
night, rendered a decision UNFOLDING
the right OF the United States Inter
nal Revenue Commissioner Capers to
prescribe new rules for the branding Of
the various products of distilleries I'M
der the three general names of high
wines" alcohol" and spirits" as the
case may be He dissolved the re-
strafning order which had been OBJ
tanned by the Clifton Springs Distilling
company of this city to stop the local
internal revenue men from branding
with the designation alcohol" a grade
of distilled spirits which the company
had been making and selling for half
century under the name of Spirits
The court held that company had no
property right in that name, such as
would except it from coming under the
new rule adopted by the internal rev.
enue depa rtment. The new rules in
the case were framed on the lines of
pure food law. and the federal officials
regard the result as a victory for the
policy of that law.

UNDERTAKEN CLEARED
South Chicago Man Makes
Good in the Delaney
Mystery.

Undertaken James E. L. Brown, 9o37
Commercial avenue. yesterday after
noon exonerated himself of all con-
nection in the skeleton mystery that
is proving such a puzzle to the South
Chicago and down town police.
Brown, in company with A. Lewis,
a liveryman, yesterday afternoon went
down town to the office of DR.. NJ o.
here Lewis testified that he rememb-
cred when one of his drivers took the
body Of Delaney to the county morgue
in 1903. This statement by Lewis
practically INDICATED Brown and his
license will not be revoked.
Although Brown has indicated him
self of all blame in the matter, the
skeleton mystery still remains and is
no nearer solution that it was several
days ago.
The down town police are still firm
in their belief that it is that of De-
Ianey, as all data TALES exactly.
Speaking of the matter yesterday
Mr. Brown said: Say for me that
have been entirely blameless in the
matter from beginning to end and
am firm in my belief that my name
was brought into the case as the re-
suit Of a conspiracy formed to injure
my business. I am glad the case is
over. as far as I am concerned. be
cause 1t has caused me to make all
kinds of explanations to my friends.
Brown says that he hopes to see the
mystery cleared up as soon as possible
and stands at all times ready to help
| the police in any way that is in his
power to end the affair.

SIX MEN HAVE ROW
Two Are Shot at Gary in
Strife Following Collec-
ton of a Washing Bill.

The spirit of murder is stiII abroad
in the town of Gary and yesterday an
other killing was narrowly averted
when several Greeks became involved
in a desperate fight for a revolver,
which finally was discharged and
wounded two men.
This time all of the participants
were placed under arrest and will now
have to answer to the community for
their conduct. The two men who were
wounded are Jim Kolan. who had his
finger grazed with a bullet, and Nick
Contes, who had finger shot off from
his left hand.
The trouble arose over the effort OF
Contes to collect some money fo1
washing his wife had done. He got
into a quarrel with Nick Dracoplas
Theodore Tsalias, George Horwart anC
Jim Kolan.
He understood that these men in
tended to give him a beating the mex
time they saw him and 50 he armed
himself with a revolver Yesterday
at about o'clock in the afternoon h,
met the whole crowd and the troubl,
was started again.
Revolver Is Badly Wanted.
Jim Kolan, the leader of the crowd
started for Contes when the latte
drew a revolver and, pointing it a
his assailants, was about to fire whel
Kolan sprang forward and grasped tn
revolver with his right hand
The two men then wrestled wit
each other in an effort to secure pos
session of the revolver Each kney
that if the other got it he would b
shot. so they fought for their lives
In the melee the revolver was dis
charged and the bullet passed throug
the hand of Contes and shot off hi
finger. while it made scratch woun
on one of the fingers of Kolan's han,
In the meantime the police were al
tracted TO the scene by the fight an
officers Nestorovich and Mulcahey al
rested the whole crowd The me
were all taken to the police static
where they will be held on chare
of rioting.

Three Months School Buildings.

Eight schools are reported by the
Fire Chief as exposing the children
to so much risk of fire that with
out certain comprehensive aItera-
tons they should he closed. A
choice of action under such circum-
stances must have been extremely
difficult for the Board of Education.
Gagged by its decisive stand as to
the sanitary conditions of three
certain schools, several weeks ago,
its inclination would be to close
these eight without a day of delay
But it had to consider in this situa-
ton that closing the schools would
seriously interrupt the education of
lI,7Ts children and throw out of en-
ployment forty-seven teachers at
that very time of the year when
there was least danger of fire.
No one-least of ali a responsible
and philosophical Board of Educa-
tion-w0uld weigh two months of
study against the safety of child.
But at this time of the year, when
there are no fires in the buildings,
the board judged the danger to- be
so far lesscncd as not to counter
balance the value of these last two
months of the term. In that de

Fifteen Million 10 One.

Postmaster General Meyer con
tends for an extension of the Amer
lean parcels post exclusively to the
rural routes chiefly on the ground
that it would wipe ont the postal
deficit. As a proper development OF
the postal service it ought TO re-
ceive attention from Congress on
that or any other ground urged by
the head of the service
But the extension of the parcels
post privilege TO reach the patrons
of the rural routes has more to
commend 1.-THE convenience of the
patrons of 39,O3s rural routes, a
population of 100000 families,
comprising 100000 American citi-
zeBs. The only objection 10 il as
now proposed comes from -four cor
porations doing an express bust
ness. and certain railroads and
other corporations allied with the
express companies. Congress has
dawdled away its time until any
legislation 10 be enacted this SEES
sion must fight for room But If
could pass this legislation for 10
100000 as easily and in as little time
as il gives 10 a priva, pension bill

The Troubles in Persia.

Little seems to reach this coun-
try concerning the turbulence which
for n long time has been engulfiug
the ancient monarch Of Persia in
something very like anarchy. The
Shah made a pretense of granting
his country a constitution, and
called together a parliament. This
much the world promptly learned;
but OF subsequent developments lit
tie has been known.
1t appears that conditions in Per
STA are such that today il may fairly
be regarded as the worlds storm
center. Here the Russian, the Turk.
and the Britisher are coutending
for paramountey of influence. while
the unfortunate native comes in for
a bit of consideration after these
three have composed their differ
ences. The turks undertook by
force to restore order to the bleed
ing country. in which revolution as
big and bloody as that which
brought the Terror to Paris would
doubtless have occurred before now
but for the outside Intervention.
The Russians have been jealous of
the interference of the Turk. anG
the English, ever with their
thoughts on the Persian Gulf and
the road TO India. have been Jealous
Of both.
In Teheran conditions have at
times been almost beyond belief
The Persian Liberals and Progress
ives have insisted OF getting a bit
of the substance. along with the
shadow of popular government
which the Shah conceded TO them.
Liberal activities have been met
with assassination. mysterious dis
appearances, unexplained imprison-
ments. \ thrill of horror ran
through the whole East a few
weeks ego when great banker
and phHauthropist of the Persian
capital. suspected or financing the
Liberal movement. was murdered
with his wife. in his home at night;
both were killed in their beds. and
the culprits escaped. This is but
sample Of the conditions which
have prevailed and still continue in
Persia.
The ancient monarchy struggles
10 maintain existence and independ
ence, which perhaps 1t does not de
serve; and yet, if foreign Interior
ence could be etoPPed, there is LITTLE
doubt that better things would bC
brought out of the coIntry-s chaos
The foreigners all have an eye or
PerSia-Furl1ey. Britain, Russia
Germany. They all fear to allow j
free hand with its own affairs, sim
ply because each of them knows no
how its particular interests would
be affected.

For 1885 of Our NeighbOrS.

These are the persons whose
characters may be saved, who mny

In the Capital of the United Stares,
instead Of being relegated TO The
cOmpanionship of law-breakers mo. {
of their lives, if our present me-
dieyal penal and correctional meth
DDS are improved by a probation
and parole. system:
Three thousand of the 1920 per-
sons convicted every year in the Po-
lice Court.
Thirty-fve Of the I7O persons
committed to the penitentiary every
year by the District Supreme Court.
Two hundred of the 554 prisoners
now in the Jail.
One hundred of the 500 prisoners
now in the workhouse.
An unknown number of the Dis
drict prisoners now in various State
Penitentiaries.
These figures are estimates, Of
course But they are sustained by
the experience of California, Con-
necticut, Maine, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, New Jersey, New York,
and Vermont. The only danger in
the way Of this good for these 1886,

ciSion, The Times believes the board
viii haye the Endorsement Of par
ents with children in the schools
But there is nothing in this act
which diminishes the need for new
buildings TO take TIE places of these
eight which nave been condemned,
or of radical repairs to make them
safe. There are to be nc fires in
them from now until the end of the
term. If the rooms are cold the
children are tc be dismissed. But
there are only three months in the
term when such a regulation is at
all feasible. From the middle of
October to the middle of April it is
not safe to count on mild weather.
During that whole period, there
fore, any authority which compels
children to attend school in these
buiIdiDgs-as the board may be ex-
pected not TO do-would deliber-
ately risk the lives of nearly 1000
of our youngsters. Resolved to its
logical conclusion, that situation
means that for seven of the ten
months these eight buildings do not
exist for school purposes.
