because his stepmother had left him
at home nea Opelousas, La, in
charge of his two young st%epbrothers
and a stepsister Tom Godfrey. a
twelve-year-old negro boy, fed the
youngest of his charges to the hogs

the heads of the other children. The
stepmother reported the triple crime
to the parish authorities and Tom was
placed in Jail at Opelousas. She said
she found the baby in the pen with
the hogs when she returned home.
Its hands and feet had been eaten of,
but 1t was still alive. She straight
way whipped Tom and when she went
for a doctor to attend the baby Tom
seized an axe and attacked his six
year-old stepbrother, INJECTING several
deep wounds. His young stepsister
interfered and he crushed her skull
with the axe. The girl is dying and
the other two children have little
chance for recovery.

Chicago, April 21.-Russia, whose
crop possibilities are always an enig-
ma to traders owing to the absence
of reliable statistics, was at the back

early in the session. a decline over
night of 2H cents and of AZ cents
since Saturdays close.

REASONS FOR VETo0 OF
TONNAGE TAX BILL
Message Of Governor johnson
to Minnesota Legislature

st. Paul, April Ex-Governor John
o has returned to the legislature
without his signature the Bjorge iroa
ore tonnage tax bill. This matter has
aroused great interest In this state
for many years, but never before has
q bill carrying the idea into effect 70
ceived the approval of the legislature.
The governor summarizes his obtec-
tions tc the easur as follows:
MISUNDERSTANDING the able
and sincere labor bestowed upon It
by its author, Mr.. Bjorge. the bill re-
mains, both IN principle and admins
trattve features, u or less un-
certain and III digested experiment,
no fully understood even by its
friends and intensely feared by the
sections Of the state to which 1t spe-
cially applies. while in application 1t
threatens to violate the fundamental
principle of taxation, that of equality,
at the same time that it fails to meet
the constitutional requirement Of uni
formity in taxing the same class Of
subjects.
"Second-lt is certain that the mo-
raj, Industrial and practical effect Of
the bill, If made Il law at this time.
will be to strike q severe blow at the

SO generally misunderstood, has
plunged the whole subject of taxation
under the new state constitutional
amendment into a sea Of political and
sectional feeling and prejudice, which
not only makes a just, efficient and
scientific measure impossible Of enact
ment at this time, but threatens Sec
tfonal hatreds which may disrupt and
endanger the future best development
of our great commonwealth, besides
making the subject of Just state taxa
