Changed After Stamps Were On.
Washington, D. CAS- a result of
an investigation into charges of vio-
lation of the internal revenue law,
John G. Capers, Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue, issued formal in
structions to Col1ectorP P. L. Goldsbor-
ough at Baltimore directing him to
seize the Carroll Springs Distillery
Company's plant, one Of the largest
registered grain distilleries In Mary
land
The seizure, which will involve the
Government taking possession of
nearly 5000 barrels of whisky, is
made under Section "A of the Act of
July 20, 1858, Sections 3450 and
1853, Revised Statutes, and other
sections, being based upon a long ex-
animation which has been under the
personal direction of Commissioner
Capers, who himself visited the es-
tablishment about three months ago,
when the alleged violations were first
brought to his attention After his
investigation Revenue Agent J., B..
Perkins was directed to detail special
gaugers and inspectors to make a
careful investigation for an extended
period
The result was that violations of
the law were found sufficient to cause
the forfeiture of the plant, its con-
tents and the contents of the ware
houses. Commissioner Capers de-
clined to give any of the details as to
the charges of fraud, but it is under
stood that they involve discoveries of
new whisky in old barrels, the substi-
tuition of new whisky for old whisky
and the removal of it without the
payment of s1.1O a gallon to the Gov
eminent; the substitution of gin for
whisky in some instances, and In some
of the packages excessive vantage
and similar frauds.

United States District Court brought

rels after they had been stamped by
internal revenue officers.

demonstration before the Parliament
building against the Committee of

of the Grand Vizier, Hilmi Pasha, the

caused by an order issued to the
troops to the effect that they must
obey their officers under all circum-
stances, even if called upon to shoot
down their co-religionists.
The mutineers as the first move
seized all the officers of the Commit
tee of Union and Progress and held

SIX KILLED IN BATTLE
OF RIOTERS AT PLANT
Company Has Situation In
Hand Now.

Pittsburg, Aug. 24-The Mckee S
Rocks city council late last night at a
special meeting, called for the pur-
pose, appointed committee to go at
once to Harrisburg and ask Gov
Stuart to call the state constabulary
from the plant of the Pressed Steel
Car Company, whose $500 employees
are on strike.
Neither the car company nor the
strikers were criticised at the council
meeting, the purpose being simply to
protect the citizens of McKee's Rock
and Schoenville
The death list resulting from last
nights rioting was swelled today
when Mike Desoski, one of the strik-
ing men living in McKee's Rocks, d.ed
at Mercy Hospital from gunshot
wounds in the lungs.
This brings the death list up to
seven. All of the seriously wounded
are showing slight Improvement
Three columns of smoke tliated lazi-
ly from the chimneys of the Pressed
Steel Car Company's plant in Schoen-
vile last night.
These mute signals told better than
official pronunciamentos that the
striking employees of the car plant
had yet to wait long to win their fight
against the car company officials, for
the plant was still in operation de-
spite the wild efforts of the infuriated
mobs to scare off the imported work
ing men.
Last night the striking men realized
for the first time that their jobs were
no more; that the company could do
without them and that they no longer
were wanted within the big gates OF
the car plant

AGAIN ON NINE HOURS
SHOPS ARE WORKING
SeabOard To Increase Time
Here At Once

Beginning today, the Seaboard
shops in Americus go back to the
nine-hour per day time schedule and,
better still, the employees there will
work six full days each week, thus
making tifty-four hours time, which
is as much as has ever been made at
these shops.
The order restoring the nine -h0ur,
s s'X-day schedule came yesterday af-
ternoon and was received with no lit
tie evidence of satisfaction by the
employees here
1t is an increase in time of fourteen
hours per week.
Throughout the summer, in fact for
an even longer period. the Americus
shops of the Seaboard have been op-
Grated upon a five-day, eight-hour
schedule, or a total working time of
forty hours per week Now they wiz
work fifty-four hours-s.X full days
weekly.
Between seventy-fve and one-hun~
dred men in all departments of the
shops are affected by the order, and
are Correspondence pleased at the
new schedule.
The Americus shops have not alone
felt the effect of hard times and
short hours. Even the Portsmouth
shops, the largest in the Seabo..rd
system, are working now only eight
hours per day and four days a week,
total Of thirty-two hours Other
shops are on short time also.
While it is stated that the increas-
ed time in Americus may be tempo
rary, the employees here hope that no
other change will be made.

PUPILS ARE COMING IN
FORCE TO COLLEGE
Supt. COIIum Has AppIiCa-
tiOnS Daily.
Territory Is Limited and
Pupils From State at
Large Admitted.

Many of the best citizens of the
state who have favored the agricul-
tural schools have contended that it
would have been better had the state
established only four or five of these
schools, and have given them more
liberal support. After all, each school
is to work out it's own possibilities.
The management of the Third Dis
trict school has all along contended
that the limits of the Third District
was too limited for the possibilities
for the school located at Americus.
Looking to this time when the
school at Americus will have grown
till it must look to not only the whole
state for its patronage, but the whole
country, the superintendent has ad-
mitted pupils, when the places have
not been asked for by the home people,
from all over the state and from other
states.
While no effort has been made to
advertise, yet the school has already
been well advertised throughout the
state.
AS an illustration, Superintendent
Collum yesterday received two appli-
cations from Cobb, the county in
which the Seventh District school is
located, one from Harte county, in
the Eighth district and at the very
door of the Madison school, and one
from Tifton, where the Second Dis
trict school is located
Only one more week before the
school opens. Sumter county should
have large attendance at the school

AND IS SUED THEREFOR
Claim Made City Had No Right to Ex-
pend Money.

Fitzgerald, Ca, Aug. 24-Suit has
been brought here against the Mayor
and members of the City Council, as
individuals, to compel them to refund
$500 that was appropriated by the
council to aid the city attorney in the
defense of Chief Brubaker and officer
Johnson for the killing of Robert
Gresham last April. officer Johnson
alone had trial and that resulted in
a disagreement.
Both men are out on $4,000 bail with
trials set for the fall term of the Su-
perior Court. 1t is alleged by the plain
tiffs in the present suit that council
had no right to use city money for the
purpose for which it was appropriated
