In case of inclement weather on the
night of July 5, when Independence day
will be celebrated this year. it has been de-
citizens of Bloomingdaie to shoot off the
fireworks which they have permit to
exhibit on the evening of July on the
first clear night thereafter.
This action was taken following a let
ter from Fl. +. Worley of Al U street in

permit which you kindly granted me re-
Gently in the name of the citizens of
Rloomingdale and vicinity to have a
Fourth OF July celebration, with fireworks

fireworks. The subscriptions for this
large fund have been made in sums OF
20 and 10 cents, and nearly every family
in Bloomingdale has contributed. At j
meeting held this week / was requested
to ask you in the name of the contributors

FIRE CAUSES $1,000 LOSS.
Flames Break Out In the Columbia
Cafe Ahout Midnipht

Fire in the Columbia cafe. at 51S 18th
street northwest, about midnight last
night caused about 81 200 loss, partially
covered by insurance.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from crossed electic wires, which came
into contact with the woodwork of the
kitchen Policeman Archibald Mullin of
the first precinct was passing the place
at the time when he saw the blaze
through the front window. He ran to the
corner of 18th and f streets and turned
in an alarm.
In the meantime several citizens broke
open the front door and carried chairs
tables and other articles out to the side
walk Policeman w. c. Farquhar of the
first precinct went into the place and re-
moved the cash register, which contained
about 81 in pennies and some papers. The
officer received burns about his hands, as
the register was in the midst of the blaze
when he took 1t out of the place.
Conrad Richter. the proprietor, was no
tilted by the police of the fire and reached
the scene about the time the firemen had
the blaze under control He stated to a
Star reporter that he could not account
for the blaze. as there was no fire left
| in the place when 1t was closed about IL
o'clock.
| Mr.. Richter opened the Columbia cafe
| last September, equipping the place at a
cost of approximately $3.50.

Berkshires have more than a superficial

Milwaukee Beauties.


Once in a while we read of some Mil
waukeean returning from the east or
south or from abroad, who says he has
found the most beautiful women in the

One whose eyes are constantly upon
beauty of a certain sort-feminine, we

least 1t Is liable to become commonplace; /;
therefore when one goes away from

There have been on exhibition, at va

FAvORS OLEOTAX OF TWOCEATS
SECRETARY MACVEAGH SUG-
GESTS INCREASE.
Declares There Is a Growing Con-
viction the Present Law Fails
in It's Purpose.

Secretary MacVeagh yesterday declared
making the internal revenue tax on oIeo-
margarine cents pound. colored or un-
colored as against the present rate of
one-quarter of cent a pound on uncol-
ored and cents a pound on coiored. The
Secretary will not however, urge his
views on Congress before the next regu-
lar session beginning in December.
In explanation of his position the Sec
retary yesterday said:
There has been for a long time grow
ing conviction that the present oleo-
margarine law fails in it's purpose. Not
only the present officials of the internal
revenue bureau but the late Commits
soner Yerkes and many others. including
some who represent the dairy interests,
others who represent the manufacturers,
and still others who conserve the inter-
eSts of the merchants and the consumers,
have strongly felt the ineffectiveness of
the present law and the widespread and
increasing fraud and corruption of the
practices under the law.
Object of the Law.
1.-The object of the law was to prevent
oleomargarine from being sold as butter.
This 1t has failed to do completely-but
instead has encouraged a constantly
growing evasion of the law, accompanied
by frauds of the most barefaced kind.
Instead of protecting the butter maker
and dealer 1t has greatly increased the
sale of oleomargarine as butter.
1.-The Secretary of the Treasury has
crystallized some of the floating opinions
in favor of a change and has had formu-
lated a proposition for an Improvement
in the law which might bid fair to cor
rect the abuses and really protect butter
from the sale of oleomargarine as butter.
Main Features of Change.
"The main features of this rather sim
pie change of law are the restriction of
the sale of oleomargarine to consumers
sizes of packages-say, one, two and
three pounds. the plain marking OF the
packages and inside wrappings as oleo-
margarine; the stamping of each package
with a revenue stamp In such manner
that the package could not be openeu
without destruction of the stamp. the
shaping of the package to make 1t dis
tinctive. and such other devices as would
make it as nearly as possible impract-
cable to sell oleomargarine as butter.
''These devices would be aided by i'm
proved administrative aids for the de-
lection of any infraction of the law. The
aim of such a law would be to wholly
differentiate oleomargarue from butter.
and oblige oleomargarine to stand on its
own feet, and let butter haye exclusively
its own market.
Secretary MacVeagh estimates that his
bill would increase the government rev.
enues $2,o0O,O0O annually.

Pueblo, Jan. 15.-While in Pueblo
Sheriff Potter of Otero county made a
statement that some way will be dis
covered to make Godding, the Rocky
Ford bank wrecker, pay the state in
full for his robbery of the depositors
of the State Bank of Rocky Ford.
Sheriff Potter has been in Denver
for nearly week for the purpose of
seeing what Buchtel would do in re-
gard to the Godding pardon. He has
had men in Canon City to see that
Godding would be rearrested if par
doned.
'We will be waiting at the peni-
tentiary gate when Godding is liber-
ated." said Sheriff Potter, 'and the
first thing he will see will be another
warrant for his arrest. We believe
there are other charges in addition
to the one on which he was convicted
by which he may be returned to pris-
on, and the people of Rocky Ford are
determined that this matter shall not
be trifled with"
Sheriff Potter is emphatic in his
statements about Godding, and says
that there is no doubt but what the
people who were defrauded will go
to any length to punish the man
