Distillers generally will be interested
In an opinion by the attorney general
of the United States, which relates to
ury department was called to the prac-
tice recently of certain whisky manu-
facturers who have been accustomed
to withdrawing their products from
bonded warehouses and transporting
them to certain foreign ports with the
intention of holdinwg them for a time
and then having them returned as re-
importations of manufacturers of the
United States, their purpose being to
postpone the payment of taos on the
WHISTLES shipped until they wish to
place them upon the market
The question has arisen whether such
transportation is an expectation of
the whisky and whether a withdrawal
of whisky from bonded warehouse
for such purpose is lawful The feder-
al attorney general holds that the
transportation as mentioned is not an
expectation within the meaning of the
law. He holds that manifestly If the
expectation is not bona fde one then
there is no legal warrant for the with
drawal of the whisky, and it is a fraud
upon the government for it to be SC
withdrawn according to law. and for

CRUTCH SLIPPED; LEG
BROKEN SECOND TINE
Barely Out of Hospital, Man
Meets With Another
Accident.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

East Chicago. Ind, Jan. 5.-The old
adage that misfortunes never come
singly has again been demonstrated,
when David Leffler, the Olcott avenue
fruit dealer. fell and broke his right
leg. LETTER is but recovering from in
juries inflicted about two months ago
when he was struck by large c., L. S.
& S. B. line car at Clark road, near
Gary. At that time he was accom-
panied by his business partner, Green
baum, and the latter also received in
juries which necessitated his removal
to the Mercy hospital in Gary.
Released From Hospital.
Leffler was released from the hospi-
tai about three weeks ago and since
his return to this city has been walk
ing about the streets with the aid OF
crtuches. On Sunday afternoon, while
walking on Olcott avenue, one of his
crutches slipped, allowing him to fall
to the ground with such force that his
hight limb was again shattered. DIR
G. F. Bicknell was called and pro-
nounced the fracture serious one. and
likely to confine Leffler to his home fol-
another three months. The fracture
has been reduced and Leffler is getting
along as well as could be expected.
Married But a Few Months.
Leffler has been married but few
months coming to East Chicago Will,
the sweetest days of the honeymoon
were still being enjoyed. With hi!
iyoung wife everything looked bright
and the couple were beginning to plal
on charging their business. Four day,
after their arrival in this city the frs
accident occurred, and Leffler was con
fined in the Gary institution for owe
six weeks
Hiss latest misfortune will no doub
have the effect of reminding him tina
life is a serious proposition and tina
1t is hard to tell what day.or a step
lmay bring forth.

CURRENCY OF FuRs AND SKINS
Primitive Mode Of Exchange That Pre-
vailed in Early Days.

In the early days of the. United
States furs and skins were very gen.
orally transferred from hand to hand
as money. Thus, in the northern
states, pound Of beaver was regard
ed as the unit of value, and in the
south the same weight of deerskin
performed a similar function. In the
far west furs retained a currency val
ne until quite recent date. But, att
er all, as bale of skins was rather a
bulky roll of money to carry about, It
was customary to cut of small strips
as tokens of ownership and pass them
from hand to hand, while the skins
were deposited in recognized places or
security. Proof of rightful ownership
was demonstrated when the strip was
fitted to the part from which 1t had
been detached Trickery in substitute
ing another skin was not so easy as
might be imagined, because 1t seldom
happened that two skins would prove
SO exactly similar in shade and length
of fur where the strip was cut of az
to deceive even the eye Of novice.

STRANGE RUMORS At WHITING
ABOUT STANDARD OIL co.
Reports Regarding Cutting of Payroll Almost in Two Are
Circulated and Whiting People Hunt
For Reason.

There have been some strange rumors
afioat in Whiting regarding the future
of the Standard Oil company in that
city. One fact is known and that is
that the pay roll has been reduced
from $4,000 to $4,000 for every two
weeks.
This curtailment is supposed to be
due to the fact that the Standard Oil
company recently made an appropria-
ton for the building of a new plant
in southwestern Illinois.
At the time the Illinois project was
announced an effort was made to find
out what effect it would have on the
Whiting plant, but no information
along this line could be secured.

THEY OBJECT TO
SPOILAT|ON OF SHORE LINE

Whiting, Ind, Jan. 5.-A lot of Whit
ing people who own property on the
shores of Lake Wawasee, Ind, are
much interested in the efforts OF the
shore line owners there in preventing
the spoilation of the pretty resort A
company was formed sometime ago to
dig mari from the beds along the shore

senators and representatives to take

which will prevent the works OF de-
struction. F. r. Schaaf of Robertsdale

1t is understood that a new process
Of refining oil has been adopted by
which the crude oil stays in the same

stills and will make the whole process

1t is said that the adoption of this
new process will make 1t possible to

reconstruction will employ many men
and will make the Whiting plant as
efficient as any in the country.

If the vote does not stand exactly as
given above on the first ballot it will
be nightly close to it. The only seri-
Gus doubt seems to be as to the rela-
tive strength of Shively and Slack. The
general opinion is that Slack will start
with more votes than Shively will have,
but there are some who figure just the
opposite. But the logic of the situation
seems OF dictate that Slack will lead
Shively, because Slack will have his
own strength-the elements that is and
has always been opposed to the old
order of things in the democratic par
ty in Indiana. Couple this with Slack s
personal following every man has
at least some votes that he can con-
troll as a personal matter--and you
have about the number of names above.
On the other hand Shively is going
to draw large part of his support
from the very element that would sup
port Kern if Shively was not in the
race. To make much OF a showing

MAY CONTEST
HALLS ELECTION
Republicans Considering a

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 5.-Plans are
now being made quietly by the repub-
licans to contest the election of Lieu
tenant Governor Hall. On the face OF

eral hundred over Senator Fremont
Goodwine, of Williamsport, but the re-
publican leaders say they have discov-
cred evidence of fraud on the part of
the democrats in Evansville. Fort
Wayne. indianapolis and other cities by
which enough votes can be thrown out
to seat Senator Goodwine
The latter has not determined fully
whether or not to make the contest, but
his friends have been looking into the
situation and are pretty sure that he
has a better case than some of the de-
feated democratic candidates who are
the alleged fraudulent voting of for
eigners in Lake county.
Hall holds his commission by virtue
of the same conditions on which the
republicans candidates receive theirs
and is. that on the face of the officia
returns he was elected over Senator
Goodwine.
Not In a Position.
however, Hall is not in as strong {
position as the republican state officials
as it was declared today that so Ions
as there is contest over his Office the
republican majority in the senate car

one existing several years ago. whe1
