New system of Sending Messages En-
 Chicago, Ill, Dec. 26.--tSpecfal)-- Another move in the game which fs being played in the telegraph field in the Middle West Is the announcement that the independent telegraph com pany. the Telepost. has opened offices in this city. This forms the comple- ton of a chain of offices forming the first western section of Teiepost lines. and Chicago. St. Louis and Indianapo- lis are now in communication with such other towns as Terre Haute, Ind: Sedalia, Mo; Springfield and Aurora Ill. The Telepost system is an au- tomatic rapid system by which mes sages are sent at the enormous speed of 1000 to 2.000 words q minute over any one wire. This compared with the old companies' slow hand-sendfng than fifteen words minute. enables the new company to slash the old rates.
 For instance, an ordinary Teiepost massage of twenty-five words is trans mitted between any two points con- nected by TelepostSw wire and delivered by boy for a5 cents regardless of dis- tance.
 new and most novel message. however. is the "Teiepost." which Is really e telegraphed letter of fifty words transmitted by wire and mailed at the office of receipt. for which the charge is only 25 cents. This mes sage enables one to send long com munication rapidly at moderate charge, Another message Of ten words for 10 cents fs the "teiecard. ao called because it is wired to the office of receipt and delivered by mall on A postcard.

ish merchants who had a mopoiy Of trade in articles of luxury and In colonial products. and who dealt In articles which revolutionized modern economic Iffe--cotton. indigo, calico. etc..--and finally owned the American silver mines.
 The Jews. continued Dr. sombart, were the pioneers of colonization. The expedition of Columbus, for example, was financed by them, large percen- tage- of the crews of his vessels were Jews. Jews were very largely inte- rested in the East India Company, and a Jew as packman accompanied the first Colonials into the interior of South and North America.
 Jews. he added were largely. in- strumental in the establishment of the material basis on which the mod ern State rests. for they made modern Armies economically possible. All the purveyors to Armies in the Sixteenth. Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Centur~ les were Jews. and Jews created. as furnishers of the money. the present system of state loans. The Jews have developed the spirit of capitalism. and thus have been the most important factor in widening the capabilities Of industry and they are the fathers Of Free Trade and free competition.
 Tn subsequent lectures Dr. Sombart will discuss the question as to how 1t happened that suchTa small number of people has had such an enormous influence on the economic life of great nations.
 The Berlin Magistracy has decided to renew a proposal. which was de- feated in 1906 and again In the fol- lowing year, to introduce an incre- ment tax in Berlin. The proposal, which will come before the city, Coun- ell this week. follows the lines of the tax adopted by Hamburg last year. ] The question whether Berlin shall now follow the example of other Ger man municipal and local authorities is of less interest than the prospect that Berlin may lead opposition on the part of the municipalities to the proposed assumption by the Empire of increased values taxation as solely Imperial source of revenue. At a meeting of the committee of the Lea que of German Municipalities, the Reichstag resolution with regard to an eventual Imperial increment tax was adversely criticized This resolu- ton provides for the introduction. not later than 1911. of Bill imposing an Imperial increment tax which would yeiid not less than s5,0o0,0ee q year. It is further provided that municipalf- ties which had an increment tax in force on April 1 of the present year shall receive for five years after the introduction of-the Imperia. increment tax an amount equivalent to the aver age revenue which they obtained from their unearned increment taxes up to but not after April l of the present year As municipalities which now introduce unearned incremnet taxes h1a ka compensation. 1t seems that the Reri,n authorities desire to test the ability of the Empire to appropriate this oh.

GIVES PURE FOOD LAW RULING

Washington, Hec. 26.-The definition of the word "whiskey" was given to- day when President Taft rendered the final decision on the subject in con- nection with the construction of the pure food law with reference to la boiling. The President held that whis- key made of neutral spirits is whis- key when reduced to potable strength.
 The President covered other details 4n his decision and gave directions for the proper, branding of various varie- ties of liquor. holding among other things that whfskey made from 8 mix ture of straight whiskey and "neu- tral spirits may be called a blend.
 According to the instructions under this decision. straight whiskey" will hereafter be branded AS such hut the gend, aged in wood,' and whisksy made from rectified. distilled or neu- trai spirits may be branded so as to make known the principal ingredient. In addition. If they so desire. manufac- turers of straight whiskey may also use the word bourbon" or rye" as the fact may warrant. The definition of blends is not made broad enough to include neutral spirits made from mo- This article cannot be labelled as whis- key, 1t is rum.
 Calls Down Dr. Wiley.
 The President takes Dr. Wiley and other chemists to task for a ''funda- mental error as to what the name "whiskey" has included during the past 100 years, and he also expresses the opinion that MT. Bowers makes "too nice distinction in his deductions
 If" he says. speaking of the opin- ion of Mir. Bowers. thigh wines at from 140 degrees to 160 degrees when re- dhced to potable strength and contain ing a very small quantity of fusel oil and favored by burnt sugar or whis- key. as he has found them, the mere Improvement in the process by contina- ous dfstillation. so as to give a pro- duct of from 16o degrees to 1ss de- grees proof and still further to reduce its fusel oils is not to change its whole nature or to make what was genuine whfskey imitation whiskey, because of a slightly reduced trace of ingredients. The distinction is too impracticab1e in argument for the execution of the law.
 The President thinks that such an order as his decision contemplates can- "who make whiskey of srectified.' 're- distilled or neutral spirits cannot complain If, In order to prevent fur ther frauds. they are required to use . brand which shall show exactly the kind of whiskey they are selling. For that reason 1t seems to me fair to require them to brand their product as swhiskey made from rectified spirits or whiskey made from redis- filled spirits or: 'whiskey made from neutral spirits as the case may be so and if aged in the wood. as some- times.

exactly the kind sf whishey they buy and drink. If there desire strafGht whiskey. they can secure 1t by pur- chasing what is branded straight whiskey. If'they are willing to drink whiskey made of neutral spirits then they can buy 1t under a brand show ing 1t. and if they are content with a blend of fiayors made by the mix ture of straight whiskey and whiskey made up of natural spirits, the brand of the blend upon the packages VIII enable them to buy and drink that which they desire. This was the fn- tent of the act.
 Tt in5uries no mans lawful busi- ness because 1t only Insists upon the statement of the truth on the label
 If those who manufacture whis- key made of neutral spirits and wish to call 1t -whiskey' without expiana- tory phases. complain because the ad- dition of neutral spirits in the label takes away some of their trade. they are without a just ground because they lose their trade merely from a statement of the fact. The straight whiskey men are relieved from all future attempt to pass of neutral spirits whiskey as straight whiskey. More than thiss If straight whiskey or any other kind of whiskey Is aged in the wood. the fact may be branded on the package and this claim to public favor may truthfuily be, put forth. Thus the purpose of the pure food law is fully accomplished in respect to misbrandinE and truthful branding
 Rsverses Hoesevelt.
 The decision follows the lines of the conclusions reached by the royal com mission of Great Britain and .reverses the verdict of former President Roose- welt, former Attorney General Bona parte. Solicitor General Bowers and pr. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemis- try. The Roosevelt -Bonaparte- Wiley order denied the use~of the word "whiskey" in branding all liquor ex- cept straight whiskey." thes whis- key which Is aged in charred oak casks. Mir. Bowers extended the use of the word to liquors made of 'resti- fled" and distilled spirits" President Taft goes Q step further. and includes blended whiskey made from neutral spirits"
 Elaborating his conclusions. the President says.
 After an examination of all the evidence 1t seems to me overwheim- ingIy established that for over hun dred years the term 'whiskey' in the trade and among the customers has included all potable liquor distilled from grain; that the straight whis- key is, as compared with the whiskey made by rectification or rejistiliation and flavoring and coloring matter. a subsequent Improvement. and that therefore. 1t Is a perversion of the pure food act to attempt to now elimi- nate the meaning of the term 'whis- key to that which modern nanufac- lures have made the most desirable variety."S

MOTOR KILLS LAD.
Stumbled Into a n Autom obiIe priv
en- by Thomas Burns, of Brook
Ign, and is Picked up Dead.

An unidentified boy, about twelve
years old, was run down and instantly
killed last night by an automobile said
to have been driven by Thomas Burns.
The accident happened at the corner of
Tooth street and Central Park West,
while the boy was running to catch a
southbound street car.
At the time of the accident Burns
was driving south at a moderate rate of
speed. With all his attention riveted
on the car he was trying to catch, the
lad did not notice the approaching auto
mobile and practically ran into it. He
was knocked down and the heavy wheels
passed over his body, killing him in
stantly.
Burns stopped his machine, but was
so overcome by the accident that he was
unable to lend hand in getting the boy
to the Red Cross Hospital, a few hun
dred feet away. The lad was picked up
by bystander, who carried him to the
hospital.

TWO KILLED BY AUTO.
Anto Was Carrying Balloon of Leo
Stevens When Collision with
WAGON Threate

New York, Sept. 90. 49, Parker Norton,
owner of the Mineola Press, and Ed
ward Baker proprietor of the Mineola
garage, were instantly killed tonight
in an automobile accident near Mineola,
L. |.
village with the balloon of Leo Stevens,
the aeronaut.
The automobile, brought from the
factory for tests over Long Island roads,
was driven by William Watson, New
York demonstration, who escaped with
slight bruises.
Watson, driving at a moderate rate of
speed, turned quickly to avoid a collision
with farmers wagon. The machine,
striking deep rut, swerved into a tel
egraph pole.
Watson was thrown head first over
his steering wheel and landed almost I'M
injured in sand bank Both his COM
panions, however were thrown heavily
against the telegraph pole
Their skulls were fractured and both
must have died instantly.
Another automobile had already gone
on to Mineola with Stevens and his fell
low aeronaut, Dr. Daniel Lucas, Hud-
son-Fulton celebration official After
waiting nearly half an hour for Watson,
Mr. Stevens became alarmed and start
ed back.
Coming upon the wrecked machine
Mr. Stevens found Watson sitting half
dazed on sand bank and the bodies of
Norton and Baker lay near by. The
automobile was completely wrecked but
the bundle containing Stevens's balloon
had been thrown to the side of the road
and was not harmed.
The farmer, who had been the inno-
cent cause of the wreck, had gone on
without stopping and it seemed appar-
ent that the rumble of his cart had
drowned the noise behind him and that
he knew nothing of the accident.
