Stock of Explosives on Hand.
Austin, Texas, June 19.-TeXas
iobbers and dealers in cannon crack
ers and toy pistols are stuck to the
tune of approximately $4,000 by
the passage by the thirty-first legis-
lature of the act levying an occupa-
ton tax of $500 on these crackers
and pistols, according to w. f. AM
erman of New York, general mana
ger of the Detwiller and Street Fire
works Manufacturing company of
| New York Mr.. Amerman reached
| here Thursday and had conference
with the governor and also with the
secretary of state regarding the mat
! ter He was apparently not familiar
cause he wanted the governor to rec
ommend an amendment TO this strin-
| gent law so as to protect the Texas
| iobbers and leaders having this char
acter of merchandise on hand. Mr..
Amerman was surprised when he
was advised that it would be two
years before the legislature met
again and any action could not be
taken on such recommendation,
We're it TO be made by the governor
of Texas.
| Mr.. Amerman secured from the
secretary of state a copy of this new
| law which went into effect on June
| u, and after reading it he declared
! it meant death to the sale OF cannon
crackers in Texas. He added, how
ever, that he was not sorry as these
cannon crackers are indeed danger
Gus, but that the trade wanted them
and consequently they We're manu-
| featured. He added that the legisla-
ture evidently did not take into con-
! sideration the fact that when this
| law took effect there would be many
! jobbers and dealers in the state who
would have a stock on hand and no
| way in which to dispose of it. He
said that one jobber alone had up
ward of So 600 worth of cannon
icrackers on hand, while at Dallas,
| Houston, Galveston, Austin and 9TH
er Texas cities, jobbers and dealers
have from $500 TO 81 900 worth. His
firm could not help them out as to
iship back this merchandise the
freight would cost more than it is
worth. Mr. Amerman has been over
the state looking over the situation
land said that in practically every
iplace he visited he found iobbers
with cannon crackers in stock and
lno way in the world to dispose OF
them. He asserted that this act has
worked quite a hardship on these
iobbers and dealers, although he
considers the act a good one.
