INDICTMENTS AGAINST
THE CUDAHY PACKING co
Accused Of Violating The Internal
Revenue Laws,
MONOPOllzINe oLEOMARGARINE.
Accused OF Placing Quarter OF A
Cent Revenue Stamps On Oleo Re-
quiring Ten-Cent Stamps-C Charge
That Fraud Enabled Company To
MOnopolize The Market - Liable
To 1000 For Each Offense.

Topeka, Kan. Especially. - Indict-
ments were returned here by the
federal grand jury against the Gu
daily Packing Company, of Kansas
City, Kan, on sos counts for de-
frauding the government out of $780,
600 for violations of the internal
revenue laws. The charge is that
the company has defrauded the gov
eminent of over $4,000 in revenues
on oleomargarine. The maximum on
each of the 695 counts in $1,000.
The revenue law provides that
each pound of uncolored oleomargar-
Inc must bear a revenue stamp of a
quarter of cent, but that each
pound to which coloring matter has
been added to give it the appearance
of butter a 10-cent revenue stamp
must be attached. 1t is charged in
the indictments that the Cudahy
Packing Company has sold the col
ored product under the II -cent tax
1t is claimed by the government
officials that the Cudahy Company
has succeeded in monopolizing the
eleomargarine market by selling the
colored product and paying the tax
on the basis of the uncolored.
District Attorney Bone will bring
a civil action in the federal court
against the company to have the
plant and machinery used in the
manufacture of oleomargarine con-
fiscated. The oleomargarine plant is
connected with the Cudahy packing
establishment in Kansas City, Kan.
Washington, D. c. Especially -
Internal revenue officials express no
surprise at the announcement that
the Cudahy Packing Company had
been indicted at Topeka, Kan, for
frauds against the internal revenue
law. 1t was admitted that the cleo
margarine business of the company
had been under observation and in
vestigation by treasury agents for
three months or longer. 1t was sta
ted that government agents have ex-
amined very large number of sam
pies of oleomargarine in many parts
of the country sold by the Cudahy
Company, and while it would not
be expedient to estimate the amount
of taxes involved in the alleged
frauds, it is known that the offic ais
believe it will be in excess of $685.
900, and possibly a much larger sum.
The penalty provided for violation
of the law is fine of from $500 to
$4,000 and Imprisonment from six
months to three years for each Of
Tense.

Is guests of the fashionable Kenil-
worth Inn, three miles from this
city, barely had time to don neces-
sary clothing and make their escape
from the burning building. The
hotel was completely destroyed, the
total loss being estimated at $780,
600.
Senate Senator GazZam, of Phila-
delphia, owner of the inn, jumped
from the third story while the fire.
men were breaking open the door
of his room. In the descent he bare
ly escaped striking against the stone
arch of the front building. He was

tor Gazzam is suffering from concus-
sion of the spine and broken ankle,
and physicians fear there is a frac-
ture at the base of the skull, in
which event little hope would be en-
tertained of his recovery.
Senator GazZam had been a guest
at the hotel for the past two months.
He went back to his room after be-
ing called and was hemmed in by
the flames, and when he jumped he
believed escape impossible any other
way. Mr.. Gazzam is So years old.
The fire started in the north end
OF the building over the boiler-room.
strong wind was blowing from
the southwest, and the flames quick
ly famed to the other end of the
frame structure, where the majority
of the guests were asleep. Mrs. A.
B. Martin, the lessee, gave first
thought to the safety of the guests
when she was awakened, and in
short time the alarm had been given
in every occupied room in the DOOM
ed building.
There was a wild scramble for the
exit, but there was nothing border
ing on a panic among either men,
women and children, in spite of the
great confusion at the time. Half
an hour later, when it was believed
that all were out, the roll was called
and every person accounted for.
Many persons, after conquering the
first thought of self-preservation that
had led to instant and precipitate
flight, ventured back into the smoke
filled halls and into their rooms
to rescue their trunks and other
personal effects.
Several persons who had re-enter.
ed the hotel, not realizing that the
fire had reached the south wing, were
almost caught. Shouts of friends
from the outside were answered by
yclls for help, and heroic efforts OF
several guests and policemen alone
saved the venturesome ones from be-
ing cut off from every avenue Of
escape.
The scantily clad guests were TAX
en- in at the Battery Park Hotel and
nearby residences and cared for for
the remainder of the night.
The Kenilworth Inn was owned by
Senator Gazzam and was built about
IA years ago by the Kenilworth Inn
Company at cost of $4,000.
George w. Vanderbilt is believed to
have been the heaviest stakeholder
in the company, which was composed
largely of Northern capitalists.

Loeb.
The amount now offered the gov

amount represents what would be
penalties of fully 100000 above
the appraised value of the goods.
All offers have been refused. We
want the smugglers."
1t is believed that worry over this
case so affected the mind of Will
liam B. cambridge, confidential
agent of the United States Treas
ury Department in charge of the
customs bureau at Paris, that he
committed suicide. The Treasury
Department had fully approved Mr..
Bainbridge's course in this case, but
he left note declaring that he was
the victim of plot.
. Collector Loeb stated that in the
negotiations for the abandonment of
the investigation started by him he
had been approached by several re-
putable lawyers, but refused to re-
veal the names of the attorneys be-
cause he said that even they did
not know the identity Of the Snug
glers and had been retained by in
termediaries.
Collector Loeb's investigation so
far shows that the smuggled gowns
had been made in Paris, by famous
designers, for many women of ex-
ceptional social prominence and
wealth in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia and Washington, and that
the reason for offering such large
sum to suppress the investigation
was to shield these women from the
unpleasant publicity threatened, by
the coming disclosures.
In Paris it was understood thar
the Treasury Department had in
structed Mr.. cambridge to obtain
the names of the makers of the
smuggled gowns and the identity of
the American women for whom they
were made The collector does not
believe that the women knew that
their gowns were to be struggled
into the country, but had purchased
them, Ike many Americans buy
other good abroad, with the under
standing that they were to be de-
livered to them in America duty

Collector Loeb will sell the seized
gowns at public auct on next month.

Constantinople Especially. - The
third day of the revolutionary move
ment in the capital was marked by
some disorders, the most serious OF
which was a demonstration by ma
rines who objected to the new
ministers of marine, Vice Admiral
Adjiemin Pasha. The marines
gathered in force and seized and
conveyed to the palace Arif Bey,
commander of the battleship Asar-
i-Tewfik, a member Of the Com
mittee of Union and Progress, who
ordered the guns of his ship trained
on the Yildiz Kiosk, when the rising
was at it's height, with the intention
of supporting the committee. Arriv-
ed at the Yildiz Kiosk, the men
lynched Arif Bey, Notwithstanding
the efforts of the palace guard to
save him.
Although public confidence is by
no means restored by the formation
of the new cabinet, an excellent i'm
preston has been produced by the
appointment of Nazim Pasha as COM
mander of the First Army Corps, and
this has been strengthened by the
nomination of Memduh Pasha, anoth-
er able Andrianople officer, to COM
mand the First Division at Constan-
tinople. Edhim Pasha, the new
minister Of war, and Nazim Pasha
today made the round of the bar
racks in the city and exhorted the
soldiers to obey their officers. They
were we'll received and heartily
cheered.
Porte circles are extremely dis
quieted by news from Salonika and
Monastir, where the influence of the
Committee of Union and Progress lis
strong. Officers of the Porte have

tions demanding the re-establishment
of the status quo ante, failing which
the committee leaders threaten to
march on Constantinople with the
entire Third Army Corps, whose Of

CARE TAKEN OF QUEEN BEE.
Workers of the Hive Breed Her with
Special Reference to Work She
Has to Do.

The truth is, throughout all the
woodworking of the beehive, the
queen is little more than an instru-
ment, kind of an automaton, merely
doing what the workers compel her to
do. They are the real queens in the
hive, and the mother-bee is the one
subject The workers have made her
for their own wise purpose, just as
they make the comb and the honey to
store in it. The egg she is Matched
from is in no way different from any
worker-egg. If you take one from a
cell, it will hatch out common fe-
male worker-bee, and an egg trans
ferred from woraer-comb to a queen
cell becomes full-grown queen.
Thousands of worker-eggs are laid In
hive during the season, and each of
those could be made into queen if
the workers chose. But the worker
egg is laid in small cell, and the
larvae is bred on bare minimum of
food, at the least possible cost in
time, trouble and space to the hive;
while, when new queen is wanted, a
cell as big as your finger-tip is built,
and the larva is stuffed like prize
pig through all its five days of en-
bryo life, until with unlimited food
and time and room to grow in, it
comes out at last a perfect mother

SHULTz HAS
STRANGE CASE
Shipped car Of Junk to Chicago
Which was Loss and Burlington
Blames Delivery Boy
For it.
TO INTEREST LAWYERS
Will be Tried Before Judge Withrow
During the August Term of
District Court
Here.

A case will come up before Judge
Withrow during the August term of
the district court in this city which
is without precedent in the supreme
court of Iowa and lawyers of the city
are somewhat interested in the out
come of it.
1t is the case of Harry Shultz, local
junk dealer, against the Chicago,
Burlington & st. Louis Railroad. in
which the plaintiff is trying to secure
judgment in the sum of $3.50 and costs
for the loss of a car of junk in ship
ment to Chicago. The attorney for
the plaintiff is w. r. G. Kendrick
The facts in the case are these:
Some time ago Harry Shultz shipped
a car of junk over the Burlington to
Chicago and during the trip the car
was broken open and the junk stolen.
When Shultz attempted to obtain
settlement for his less from the rail-
road he was told that the Burlington
had delivered the car in perfect con-
dition and without the seal broken to
the Chicago Terminal Transfer Rail-
way Company, which is company
that acts as deliverer for the Bur
lington and other railroads in Chi
cago. AS the Burlington stated it had
been delivered to this company and
settlement would be necessary from
them. To obtain settlement Shultz
would have to bring suit in Chicago
and thus would have to make a trip
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1909-08-27

to that city in order to secure judg-
ment. Thus it can be readily seen
that in such case. II. goods were lost
in shipment it would be necessary for
the person who is the loser to go to
the city where the car was delivered
and attempt to secure Judgment there.
The plaintiff in the case will hold
that they knew nothing of this de
livery boy as the Terminal Company
may be called and that the Burlington
is responsible for the safe delivery of
merchandise or junk. Should the
Burlington be upheld in the case it
will probably be taken to the SUI
preme court of Iowa and be made the
pioneer case of this kind.
