TOO MANY REBATES.
Customs Officers Suspect Something
Crooked in Lemon Business.

New York, June 21.-Three special
spending the sultry month of June in
quiet water front observations at the
docks in Manhattan and Brooklyn, at
which Sicilian lemons are unloaded.
The purpose of their visit is to investi-
gate reports that lemon importers are
not paying the full duties on the fruit
which they import.
The duty amounts to one and one
half cents a pound, but the govern
ment gives a rebate for the proportion
of the fruit on each shipment that is
deemed unfit for consumption and
which the importers are supposed to
destroy. The investigators have been
trying to learn whether the amount of
decayed fruit is overestimated when
the duties are computed.
The proportion of decayed fruit has
been unusually large of late, accord
ing to the customs returns. On many
shipments from 25 to 80 per cent of
the cargoes have been reported as un-
fit and rebates to that extent have
been given to the importers.
The importers say that the increase
in the proportion of decayed lemons
from Sicily is due to unfavorable
weather affecting the crop in Sicily.
They say that jealous California lemon
growers made the complaints which
were the immediate cause of the pres
ent inquiry. The California growers,
it is said, are trying to put an end to
the giving of rebates. If this is done,
the importers say the Californians
would put up the price of lemons.

MIR. HOWARD EXPLAINS 1T.
Gives His Version of Trouble With
Electrical Inspector.

In answer to an article in the State
Journal not long ago in which it was
stated that City Electrical Inspector
Stewart had called Fl. B. Howard on
en- electrical fixture sent out by his es-
tablishment, and that it was a joke on
Mr.. Howard on account of that fact
that when councilman he had pushed
the electrical ordinance through the city
council. Mr.. Howard writes the follow
ing letter to this paper:
Sure, I always enjoy a Joke even
On myself; but from your yesterdays
version of one 1 am afraid some of my
customers may have misgiving in re-
gard to the object under discussion,
and in Justice to them [ feel a full
explanation is due. The fixture on
which the question was raised was our
combination gas and electric dining
room dome. Our city inspector refused
to pass it because the gas burner was
undsr the dome with the electric light
and refused to pass it unless it was
submitted to the national board of un-
derWr1ters for their approval first. This
checked up to the factory to do but
they refused as they had been making
this fixture for % years and had no
trouble with it, and further the ex-
pense would be anywhere from $50 to
$4,000 and since 1 had handled these
fixtures for six years and have over $50
of them in use and had no trouble
had no inclination to let go of a bunch
VI cOlH just LOT d req tape Wnen
I was sure the fixture was o. K.
then checked it up to our appeal board,
Getty engineer, fire chief and any city
electrical contractor-and that is just
what I put that clause in the ordinance
for exactly so as to allow a home board
to pass on debatable questions rather
than go to the expense and loss of time
necessary to send any questions up to
the national board3.
Everybody wants light under the
dome of course, whether gas or electric
and four out of five want to use both.
The fixture properly regulated does not
generate more heat than allowed, 120
degrees, but If turned loose without re-
gard for regulation would heat above
that degree, SO I suggested using slow
burning wire instead of rubber covered
to provide for the abnormal condition
which might arise, this our city in
spector would not agree to without re-
ferring to the national board. This was
also checked up to our own board and
their decision was three to none for
the gas under the dome; and three to
none for the slow burning wire which
we have had on hand since the ques-
ton was first raised, and the inspector
was directed to give absolutely clear
certificates for this fixture which is alb
solutely the safest dining room or ia
BILE light on earth.
II certainly enjoy the joke of hav-
ing my fixtures under fire, but further
enjoy having them receive this official

CENT.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 4.--The strike of
conductors, trainmen and yardmen,
witch began on the Grand Trunk and

receive, dating back to May of this
year, an s advance of approximately Is

rate of wages slightly below the east
ern association schedule, for which

instances OF over 80 per cent.
In the Gaze of the Central Vermont

Headless and without the left arm
the body OF an unknown, man lies at
the Gard u1orgue awaiting identif-
cation. -
Shortly after midnight this morning
q switch engine on the Northern Pa
ciic just opposite the depot ran over
the man, killing him instantly. The
head was entirely severed from the
body and the skull crushed in, the
left arm cut off and his right hand
crushed. The remains were gathered
up and taken to a morgue and the
CT roner notified, and he decided that
an inquest was not necessary.
The man who appeared to be about
so years of age had been hanging
about the depot for a day or two and
according to Special Officer Costello,
he appeared to be under the influence
of strong drink to a marked degree.
During the time he was lounging
about the depot he would walk across
the tracks to the power house of the
Union Light, Heat s. Power Co., and
standing at the window would talk
to one of the men.
He was standing there when the en-
CINE came along and he must have
stepped right on to the tracks and
met his death. 1t was at first re-
ported that the dead man was citizen
of Tower City. but as the latter ap-
peared at his home for breakfast the
report was incorrect In his pockets
were found a pipe, SOME smoking to-
bacco, a bandana handkerchief, and
some other articles including comb,
but nothing whatever that would lead
to his identification.
He told w. B, Plummer who is en-
ployed by the electric company that
his home was a short distance west
from the city and every effort will be
made by the undertaken and the city
authorities to discover his relatives IL
he has any.

is to pass upon the various plans the
best.
The successful engineering features
accomplished by Mr.. O'Rourke in
bridging the Hudson at Poughkeepsie
and driving the Pennsylvania railroad
tunnel under the North River mark
him as one of the leading engineers
of the day.
According to the plans suggested
by Engineer O'Rourke, a wharf Of

A new form of government for

The previous recommendation that

It is probable that the president will

No change will be recommended In
the Sherman antitrust act until the

JAP AMAZED
At JINGOISM
JAPANESE PREMIER SAYS WAR
BETWEEN AMERICA AND
ISLAND EMPIRE Is
IMPOSSIBLE.

Toxic, Aug. 4.--Japan is amazed by
the new manifestation Of jingoisn in
America. After more than nifty years
of almost worshipful affection for her,
Japan cannot understand Americas
fresh outbreak of seeming animosity.
The premier, General Marquis Taro
Katsura, soldier and statesman and
the most prominent figure near the
throne, was asked to define his coun-
try's attitude toward the United
States.
America has been tender mother
to Japan" said the premier. Coming
up from her babyhood we were but
one year old when you came and tap
ped gently on the door. 1t is impos-
sible to believe that such q relation
ship can be broken off without reason.
There is no reason for America to
be displeased with Japan's develop
ment and advancement. What causes
the revival OF these war rumors in
America? You object to our immi-
grants; we keep them away. Why this
talk of war with us in America now?
What is the basis of complaint against
us7
II do not understand 1t. 1t is very
disagreeable. America is strong enough
to accomplish anything. Who can
withstand her In anything she has de-
termined upon?
1--WE have great problem, a prob
lem not only for Japan, but for the
whole world. We think America should
stand beside us in preserving civiliza-
%f0v, FROM any Y1ns~ifIn conflict growing
out of the problem; should aid us to
end the cruelties Of war.
War between America and Japan is
impossible concluded the premier
solemnly.

PREPARING FOR
Big BOND issue

Washington, Aug. 4.-The treasury
department officials are working over
the form OF the proposed issue Of $780,
100000 worth OF bonds to aid In the
completion OF reclamation projects.
Congress at its last session authorized
this issue and the secretary of the
treasury has notified the interior de-
partment that 1t is ready to turn over
the amount or any instalment Of it on
call. No date, however, has been fixed
for such an issue.
The preparation of the bonds is like
Iy to require two or three months and
the department is therefore taking pre-
liminary steps SO as to avoid delay
when any Issue should be deemed nee
essary.
