he had done His power OF dealing
with his fellow beings was greater
than he had hoped.
According 10 his own notions Strong
was strictly honorable after the Brit
ish code. But the confidence he repos
ed In other people, even at this mo-
ment when he regarded every man as
being as great a gentleman as him
self, did not amount TO that stupidity
upon which Mayor Schaur counted.
Strong, indeed, realized as he rode
back UP the long main thoroughfare
OF Bomberg that the circumstances
in which he was placed required dras.

that. though his masterful spirit might
have engendered in the people OF Bal
kama a certain amount OF regard, he
was none the less going back to seek
what rest he might IN the midst Of a
people who must Of necessity be hos
tile TO him.
Ii almost made him afraid to think
OF the risk he had run upon the night
before, TO remember that he and Bel
bingham had slept quiet sleep, leay-
ing the "Di, upon which all their safe
" depended, at the mercy OF men
who. under an inspiration begotten
of the dark night, have forgotten the
allegiance due TO him in honor, and

zEPPELIN'S AIRSHlP
ENCOUNTERS STORM
COUNTS FLIGHT ENDS IN A
SEMI-FAILURE
UnfavorabIe Weather CompeIs Aviator
to Abandon Journey to Strasburg.
Goal Not Announced by
Party

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., April 81
The Zeppelin airship assembled from
here this morning at 9:1S o'clock. 1t
was the intention of the aeronauts TO
make a flight of twenty-four hours
duration, taking them to Strasburg. 1t
is presumed.
The endurance trip ended in failure,
owing to unfavorable weather. The
voyage was abandoned at 7:25 this
evening.
During this time it descended twice
to the surface of the lake, taking on
water for ballast.
Major Sporting, who acted as pilot
in place of Count Zeppelin, finally de-
cided to return to refill the balloon
with gas. The destination of the trip,
which was made purely for military
purposes, was kept secret.
The balloon travelled as far as Biber-
ach and then returned to the lake,
where it engaged for a long time in
maneuvers. A strong wind blew early
in the evening, against which it was
impossible to make Roadway, although
the motors were working well.
Major Sporting, fearing that he
might be driven into the mountains,
decided to seek shelter in the floating
shell and abandon the idea of re-
filling.

WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS FOR
WHISKY ARE NOT TAXABLE
Supreme Court Announces Decision
Affecting Foreign Liquor
Held in Storage

WASHINGTON April Sin decid-
ing the case of Max Selliger of Ken
lucky against the state of Kentucky
in favor of Selliger, the supreme court
of the United States held today in eff
feet that the warehouse receipts of a
foreign government for whisky held in
bond were not taxable at the place of
residence of the holder, if in the United
States.
Selliger shipped 5000 barrels of liquor
from Louisville to Germany for the
purpose, as was charged, of avoiding
the payment of state taxes.
The liquor was stored in warehouses
in Germany, but the state authorities
of Kentucky levied a tax upon the
German receipts and the court of ap-
peals of Kentucky held them to be tax
able just as the goods would have been
had they remained within the Ken
lucky jurisdiction.
Selliger resisted on the ground that 1t
was a violation of the constitutional
provision which prohibits the imposi-
ton by state of a tax on exports or
imports.
The state court refused to consider
this point on the ground that the eX-
portation had not been made in good
faith, but the supreme court reversed
that holding. the opinion being handed
down by Justice Holmes.
