MORE LIQUOR IS POUREDINTO SEWER

Approximately s4 gallons of prohibited liquor were thrown into the sanitary sewer in front of the county jail yes terday morning. The manhole located directly in front of the main door of the jail was thrown open and while large crowd of curious spectators stood about Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien C. Brown and four other deputies smashed the glass receptacles of the liquor and confiscated the wet goods under orders from the criminal court
 Eighteen cases of whisky and two casks of beer went into the sewer. and out side of the first lot Of liquor destroyed by the sheriff the quantity of beer and whisky conAscated yesterday was the largest since the Fuller law became of, feetive.
 Up to date the sheriff had committed to the Jefferson county sanitary sewer ap- proximately 5oO gallons of prohibited liquor.
 Sheriff Higdon stated yesterday after noon that the whisky destroyed during the morning was the finest lot which he has yet had hold of Tie whisky. put up ill pints half-pints and quarts, was all of standard brands
 The recent confiscations have made quite Il hole in the stock or contraband liquor which the sheriff has had stored in the county jail.

 But One Conclusion.
 ITO my mind there is but one conclu- sion to be drawn. Everything that the evidence shows that defendants do or did. they do and did in the state of h. diana. city of Indianapolis, county of Marion. I am not here to say that if these defendants had an agent in Washing ton to whom they sent for circulation copies of this paper that they might not be amenable to prosecution in Washington If they could be arrested in Washing ton.
 "I have thought about this thing a good deal and it seems to me that I am com pelled to take one of two views, and there is nothing between them. Either when a newspaper owner or proprietor does what the evidence in this case shows those defendants did, composed, printed and deposited in the mails for circuIa- ton these papers containing for the pur. poses of this statement libelous articles, either they are guilty here and in every county, district or jurisdiction into which these papers go, or they are only guilty here. There is no middle ground to take. When these defendants put these papers containing those q will hereafter call thenD HDelouS articles Into the poStonlce here in Indianapolis. and they went through the mails throughout the coun- try into the various states. counties and districts of the United States, either 1t became a crime-a separate and inde- pendent crime in every one of the coun- ties districts or states into which the papers went, or there was but one crime, and that was here.
 History of Liberty.
 "To my mind, that man has read the history of our institutions to very little purpose who does not put very little valuation on the possible success of evi- dence such as this. If the history of liberty means any thing. if the consti- tuition means anything, then the prose. cutting authority should not have the power to select the tribunal-if there be more than one to select from-at the cap itol of the nation nor should the govern ment have the power to drag citizens from distant states there for trial.
 srhe defendants will be discharged"

JOHN KIRBY TO JOHN MITCHELL.

John Kirby, who has succeeded c. W. Van Ceave as
arch foe of all labor organizations which to be the
business of president of the National Association of Man
ufacurers sent an open letter to John Mitchell recently
In this letter Kirby rubs salt into the open wound of
labor relations by rehearsng story after story OF alleged
tlabor outrages How many of them real labor out
RACES and how many are ordinary crimes faxed to look
like evils resulting from strikes, say 1t is In
terestng however, that the week that Kirbys letter

ed and unprotected gamblers in Chicago laid to the labor
people, and look for Mr. kirbys next pronuncia
mento to list this among union ne is cyl
IDENTIFY of those overweight souls to whom the ord
nary rules of evidence mean much or little according to
the way his mind is made up.
For all that union labor has been guilty Of ourages in
the past We should be glad to think that these things
over but the blind hate of men like Kirby and Van
Cleave forbds any confident hope. The Van Cleaves,
Krbys COMPRISES and Mtchells thrown into
by forces greater than they and greater than they
know, and made to fight like rats and dogs In pit Per
haps is much to blame another And at bottom
common citizens much to blame as they. For
make and unmake Institutions and institutions make
labor troubles.
Kirby declares that his union is seeking to protect
peaceful and law abiding citizens in their Godgiven
right to labor"
Does he know what that means! Does it mean only
that every has right to work strikebreaker
or otherwise for him and his associated employers?
Is it God given right to work for else only?
If that is all it amounts to- is it worth fighting for?
If the God given right to labor that God has
corded to most the sacred right to compete with each
other for jobs to be given not they please by other
men then all that is necessary for the reetsabsment of
slavery any country for the employers to organize
closely that they list name number, tag and rate all
the abores who may desire work. and give work refuse
it as they please.
If that is all there is to the God given right to labor God
has delegated to capital the absolute rership labor
Of course Kirby may the world is wide and labor
may find employment anywhere But it is not true. The
world is WIDE but it is owned Labor has ceased to own
any world.
If Kirby will throw himself into the fight for the strik
ing of the hand of monopoly from the ownership of the
earth he will show himself capable of looking at both
sides of the shield Labor and productive capital both
exploited bv monopoly.

HAD HORSES
IN TRAINING

Almost a clear case of horse
stealing has been worked out
against Ray Sharp. young fellow
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Logan
at the fair grounds yesterday. to-
gether with Harvey, Skaggs. J. w.
Spence Of Deer Park. who located
two of his horses in possession of
the two men here, found the ami
mails through Information he Sc
cured at Deer Park.
He was told that Sharp had
taken them off the range and had
gone through Deer Park with them.
So far little information connecting
Skaggs with the actual theft has
been secured. The two arrested
parties had four animals, all be-
lieved to have been stolen, In their
possession at the time of their ar
rest.
They were training one Of
Spence's saddle horses to the
track, it is claimed. The other
was driving horse that had been
only partially broken to the har-
ness. 1t is thought by the authori-
ties that the two young men have
been implicated in some of the 9th
err recent cases of horse stealing.
They will be arraigned In prelim-
mary hearing late today.

Neither will the little girl. She is

FALLS CITY LADS BUSY

Most likely the last game of ball
that the First battalion of Fort

that to be given on the fort
grounds Sunday with the Falls

The Falls City nine, which is an
independent team, composed of
boys averaging IS years or under,
has taken IS games out of 16 play
ed this season, and is considered
very well matched with the Fort
Wright team.
Manager Vic Ross of the Falls
City nine stated this morning that
he had the entire schedule arrang-
ed up to the middle of August and
that no game aside from an en-
gagement with the Argonauts,
made up of boy champions of the
average ages of Is years, will be
played. That game will be played
at the Argonauts' own terms, he

JERSEY CRY WINS FORTUNE.
Railway Must Pay Immense Sum fo'
Franchise.

Trenton, N. j.. July Justice
Swayze in the Supreme Court has filed
an opinion in which he holds that the
North Jersey Street Railway Company
must pay Jersey City All immense
amount of money for street car IL
censes which the city had failed to
collect since 1867. The license fee on
each car is $40. Justice Swayze said
that ii the street car company and
Jersey City could not agree upon the
amount he would determine it himself.
The case has been before the court
for several years and this is the first
time it has been decided on its merits,
former decisions being made on tech
nical points. The suit against the COM
pany was instituted by Mark M. Pagan
when he was Mayor of Jersey City, and
he charged that there had been col
fusion between the street car company
and the city, or at least failure on
the part of former administrations to
enforce the city's rights in the mat

s1oo,0oo,o0o IN DEATH TAXES.
Enormous Amounts of Revenue Ex-
pected by the British Government.

London, July 27.-It is now calcuiat-
ed that the receipts of the exchequer
from death duties for the current year
will amount t. $1O0, 00O, 600 This figure
is not, however, based on the receipts
for the quarter ended June 90, which
amounted to the enormous sum of &c.
1000, or 1872, 100000, which included
6 100000 received on account of the
estate fvalued for the present at &c.
f66,666 lbs ADJ of Charles Morrison,
'ged ~, and the duties on the estates
of Sir Donald Currie, aged SO, valued
ut e., 305, S52. and of Sir Frederick Wills
aged 20, valued at 929l6,644.
In the quarter ended June 80, 1908,
the yield of the death duties was Ca
100000, and in the responding period
in 1907 G5,125,OOO The current year
thus shows an increase of G2,124000. as
compared with last wear. and an in
crease of G1.?3J.OO0 as compared with
1907. The estates Exceeding 81 ,00O. 900
each) of the Duke of Devonshire, the
Earl of Derby, and Villain Todd Lith-
gov did not come into account until
July, 1908.
The budget estimate of the yield of
the death duties for last year was G19,-
800. 00o-at the rate of 9375.000 a week
land the estimate of the receipt dur
ing the current year from duties on the
scale of the finance act of 1907 is Els
200, which seems moderate, with an
addition of e2,SS0.0 900 from the proposed
new taxation of the finance bill now
under discussion, making a total of
Ell. 100000 as expected revenue from
leath duties in the financial year 1909

receipt of e412.a0o per week. but as
the proposed new rates of duty will t,e
harged only on the estates of persons
who died after April 80, the effects
upon the weekly returns of revenue
will be, of course, gradual.

banner is of three colors, yellow, purple
and white; the yellow stripe having the
coat of arms of the state of Kentucky,
the purple one shield with the inscrip-

The staff is made of hickory grown on
the old farm on which the great Abraham
Lincoln was born. and It took four
months of patient correspondence in or

tree out of which the staff was made, as
the old farm is now open to visitors and
those in charge dislike to see a single
thing disturbed, and the cutting of this
