COURT DECIDES 2 LICENSE CASE
May Help to Make Dry Towns Wet if
 Finally Upheld.

Richmond.V Wa. March 18.-The United States Circuit Court of Appeals yester- day reversed the United States Dis trict Court at Clarksburg. W. Va, and held that it is lawful so far as the in ternal revenue law is concerned. to send whiskey from a wet city to a dry city to be paid for when they whiskey is delivered.
 The case is that of the Government against Charles H. Jones of Clarks- burg. Jones conducts a mail order house in Clarksburg and several months ago received an order for five gallons of whiskey to be paid for when delivered in Grafton. w. Va Grafton IS dry city. When the whiskey ar rived the purchaser paid the express company for the whiskey and was re- ported to the United States authorities
 Jones was found guilty of selling sentenced to a term in jail.
 In the opinion of Judges Boyd and Dayton the whiSkey was solo when it was sent and the time of payment had nothing to do with the sale Jones had United States license to sell whiskey in Clarksburg and in their opinion could sell whiskey there and send it over the State Judge Pritch- ard held that the whiskey was sold at the place where the purchaser received the liquor and paid for it.

OFFICIALS URGE
 STATE TAX

 how.

Hartford, March 18.-State officials advocated before the finance commit tee yesterday the establishment of a state tax and no one appeared to op- pose it. Senator Brooks spoke in be- half of his bill for a state tax of 1-2 a mill each on the lists of 1908 and 1909. The House bill for tax of 1 mill on the same lists was also consid- cred bill at the request of the state treas urer and thought it necessary to have such tax to provide money for run ming expenses and to meet indebted ness He favored a tax of 1-2 mill. State Treasurer Patten favored a tax 1 of 1-2 mill. If he thought the 1 mill tax would go through, he would have something to say of it. But he fla vored the smaller amount rather than trying for too much and getting noth- ing at all. The last grand list is ss3s, 53T, ,OO0 and a 1-2 milf tax would bring in $416,76s. With such a tax. Hart ford would pay $45. 5.390 and New Haven s5s,156. These two would pay 25 per cent. of the whole tax. & Other cities would pay: Bridgeport, ,250: Water Britain, s15, ,s46; Norwich, s10,s55. These cities would pay 50 per cent. of the tax. The last 25 perncent. would be met by Al towns. The smallest towns would pay: Marlborough. $6s; Chaplin, s7S.5o; Union, ss6.50; Ashford. s1o5. All these figures are for one year
 Senator Arnold of Bridgeport. com mittee chairman, thought his city might have to have bond issue to pay the tax, and must pay per cent. on that.
 Deputy Treasurer Marsh, Comptrol- Ter Bradstreet. Attorney General Hol- comb and Tax Commissioner Corbin spoke in favor of the tax.

POPE PLUS HOPES PETROSINO'S
 SLAYERS MAY BE PUNISHED His Health Not. so Seriously Affected as Has Been Published Receives
 Americans.
Especial from United Press.

Special from United Pressl
 Rome, March 1S.-The Pope is deep ly concerned over the assassination of Petrosino the Black Hand detective. During his interview with Mgr. Kelley and band of 5000 American pilgrims he expressed the greatest regret over the murder. He attributed Black Hand crimes to irreligion and express ed the hope that che criminals would be- punished. He said he had no doubt that the Italian and American governments, working together, would yet stamp out the Black Hand which he referred to as the shame of hu- manity.'
 Positive assurances from the highest Vatican circles dispute recent publica- tions that the Pope's illness is serious. The Pope still feels the effects of his February attack of influenza and is bothered by obstinate hoarseness out fever and is able to leave his apartments and hold a few audiences. Yesterday he suffered from a severe attack of gout but he did not allow it tC interfere with his audiences. His physicians have recommended the ut most care and all the rest possible.
 The Pope fully appreciates the deli cate condition of his health. He re- gently told Belgian Archbishop Mercier who recalled the efficient policy of Leo XIII toward Belgium. Really, my predecessor was so fine a diplomat that he deceived even time itself. Un- fortunately, however, I fear my ail- ments will prevent my lesser diplo- matic qualifications from reaching that stage of perfection"

HE LOST $l3.5O
 BUYING A SUIT
But He Learned a Lesson
 Well Worth the Money.
NO READY MADES"
 FOR HIM ANY MORE
His Individuality and Good Taste in Dress Will Never Suffer Again.

The writer of this article once paid S2S.50 for a ready made suit of clothes clothier's show window the next day market at $15. He practically threw away $13.50. But this is not all-his friends met him on the street and ac- costed him with. well, I fe you took advantage of So-and4So's sale" Out come-he never bought a ready made suit again. And neither should any far sighted man because sooner or later your suit and yourself are going to be cheapened through the bargain counter. Suits made by the thousand of the same pattern were not intended for a man with an atom of exclusive ness in his makeup. He is just as apt to see a duplicate Of his suit on the butler as not and while he hasn't any disrespect for this particular person he wouldn't care to see his pattern of clothing thus duplicated regardless of the compliment to his taste. Ones in dividuality and good judgment is in no way easier to detect than by his a.p- pareI. From the Pullman porter to biggest man you ever met it is dress and manners that decide your station and the treatment received at all hands depends upon your appearance and the impression you first make. You can spoil the biggest business deal you ever hoped to conSummate by creating a lack of confidence on ac- count of your ''seedy' or inferior dress, and you can on the other hand inspire the most profitable confidence by a cOmmendable appearance. Ready made clothes surely won't make you at your best and neither will all tailor made apparel. Clothes question is an important one and would take up much of any mans time if he were to devote what is really a sufficient time. to it. But we all haven't the time to do this and in consequence we must rely upon a reputable, painStaking tailor to provide us with something that will meet with our own personal characteristics There is one tailor in this city who does study his patrons requirements and that's Wheale at 1042 Main St. And the clothes Wheale makes are the clothes that will fetch out the best points of any man that wears them. CuSto tomerS of his are con- stantly being admired for their good judgment in the selection of apparel. still none of these men are harassed by going through loads of patterns and then not knowing which to select.

ELDER ]. F. WELLS
ON ''[OVE MAKING .
To Unite Young Mems and Wo-
mems Associations Might
Cause FlirtatiOns.

Flirtations, love stories, matrimonial
alliances and other kindred subjects
were dealt with in lengthy address
by Elder Junius f. Wells at the joint
| conference of the Young Mems and
Young Women s Mutual Improvement
association and the primary association
of the Mormon church. held at the tab
crnacle Sunday afternoon Elder Wells
handled his subject in such a manner
as 10 keep the congregation in bursts
OF laughter throughout the better part
of his discourse
Elder Wells expressed his belief that
for some reasons 1T might be well TO
unite the Young Men s and the Young
Women s Mutual Improvement assocla-
tlons, but on, the other hand, he was
AFRAID that such action might transform
1T into an organization for love-making
and the like, instead of spiritual work.
lie said he knew of one instance where
the young men and young women of an
organization which he was acquainted
with made courtship the principal theme,
and In the course of time the ma jority
of them married each other. Only
few old maids and bachelors were left,
he said.
Now, if the uniting of the two mu.
tnal improvement associations would
BRING about the meeting of all of the
members, the elder contcnded, it would
be all right, but he did not seem to
like the idea of few old maids and
bachelors being left out in the cold.
Elder Wells related experiences Of his
own along the line of courtship. He
spoke at some length on young people
being chapcroned. He expressed the
idea that the young women had a big
influence on the young men. He de-
clared the best chaperon for both the
young women and Young men while ont
In each other company was the spirit
of God.
The speaker declared that mutual i'm.
proYement associations were for the
moral and spiritual uplift of the young
people of the church. He called atten-
tlon to the many temptations con
stantly before them, naming horse
raclng, saloons and the various forms
or gambling, and declared that the as
