FAKE RACE SUIT
Plaintiff Says Combination Was
Formed to Fleece Him Out of Cash,

FOrWe0 I'D + lceCe Hill Uut Vi CaSus
Council Bluffs, a., April "A suit
was filed in the federal court today
by Samuel Sutor of Cass Lake,
Mimi, against the First National
bank. its officials and other persons.
in which Sutor charges that the bank
was in collusion with Maybray and
his associates in swiniling Sutor out
Of $4,000 on a fake race.
The plaintiff names as defendants
the First National bank of Council
Bluffs: Ernest E. Hart. president, and
John J. Spindler, cashier of the bank,
and also George Wilson and Benjamin
Marks. George Wilson is said to have
been Maybray's right hand man in
the sc-called. "swindle syndicate. !"
and is said by Sutor to have been the
man who handled the stake money
which included Sutor's $4,000.
Hart and Spindler deny the charges
made by Sutor that they knew of the
swindles, or that they abotted such
swindles in any manner. They claim
that they handled Sutor's letter Of
credit from bank in Cass Lake in
the same manner as similar paper
usually is handled.
Sutor's bill Of complaint states that
he came to Council Bluffs on the in
vitation of friend. Barney Martin;
that he was introduced shortly after
his arrival to officials of tho First
National bank. and ho claims that
they represented to him that Maybray

JEWS NOT IN IT
Proposed Agreement With Russia Does

Proposed Agreement With Russia Does
Not Include Passports.
Washington, April 2.-Information
received here indicates that four par
lers probably soon will be exchanged
between the Russian and the United
States governments bearing on a re-
vision and amendment of the treaty
of commerce and navigation negotiat-
ed by the two governments in 1882.
Last October Secretary Root brought
up the matter. with the Russian gov
ernment. but at that time and sub
sequently the Russian foreign office
was absorbed with the Balkan situa-
tion and was obliged to postpone con-
sideration of it.
The fact that Russia has indicated
a willingness to begin consideration
of the question is of particular inter-
est to the Russian Jews. When Mr..
Root took up the matter last October,
the explanation was made that one
of the objects soughv was to obtain an
amelioration of conditions under which
emigrants from Russia to the United
States are liable to Imprisonment, or
other punishment on their return. I'm

Lloyd, Democrat. What the import Of
these conferences was neither Mr..
Hill nor the members with whom he
talked would disclose
Every effort to get an expression on
the tariff measure for publication
failed, further than the, statement
that the business interests OF the
country are in hurry to have the bill
whatever 1t is, passed
When Mr.. Hill was told that the i'm
preston was current in the capitol
that he was here to lend his influence
to the lumbermen who want the tariff
OF 81 per thousand on orught lumber
retained, he replied:
why. l do not own half dollars
worth of trees, except ornamental
ones"
But when 1t was suggested that free
Canadian lumber might materially less
en- lumber shipments from the far
northwest to the middle west, in
which Mr.. Hill is Interested, he re-
piled:
well, the transportation of lum-
Der is q very different matter from
tariff on lumber"
The presence of Mr.. Hill in Speaker
Cannon's room and the fact that he
was in consultation with members of
the ways and means committee caused
ripples Of excitement at both wings of
the capitol. which were not lessened
any by the secrecy maintained. One
thing is certain, however, and that is,
If Mr.. Hill had any suggestions to
make on the tarifi he had the atten-
tive ear OF the ways and means COM
mittee as we'll as other house leaders.
Drawback on Flour.
To remedy the objections which
they make to the extended drawback
privileges of the Payne tariff bill, the
Republican representatives from the
wheat-growing states of the west have
submitted to the ways and means
committee an amendment in the ma
ture of an additional provision tc the
drawback section of the new bill.
Their principal contention is that
the new provision would result in the
manufacture Of flour for export at the
cities along the Atlantic seaboard in
stead Of at the western mills. as is
the custom now. In order that the
western manufacturers may retain

! any article manufactured of grain
raised in the United States. in order
to obtain the drawback when exported
in lieu of imported grain. must be
manufactured in the. same mill O.
factory as the article manufactured
from the imported grain.
The proposed amendment also re-
quires. that the expectation shall be
made within the fiscal year in which
the importation of the grain used or
checked against is made. A further
provision would makesall bran. shorts
and other by-products of imported
wheat manufactured in q bonded

of twenty-five per cent ad valorem
based upon the market price at the

1t also specified that an amount
equal to the like rate of duty shall be
deducted from the drawback on I'M
ported wheat, il any product of i'm
ported wheat or its equivalent in do
mestic wheat. is not imported.

TAX ON BEER IS
NEAR POSSIBILITY.

In Internal Revenue

Washington, April 2-An additional
revenue tax on beer is in prospect, as
a new feature of the Payne tariff bill.
So much protest has been aroused
by the tariff on tea and the counter
vailing tariff on coffee. and tine de-
mand for revenue has been SO forci-
BILE that the house leaders have under
consideration the question OF in.
creasing the tax on beer.
If an increase is made it will bo
either fifty cents or 81 barrel. AL.
though the claim was made wnen the

coffee on the free list this idea has
been pretty generally abandoned by
members of congress.
