that the cost of keeping them In re-

DANGEROUS BLAZE
ON BIG STEAMER

New York, July 6.-The old wooden
three-decker Grand Republic, sister
of the Inflated steamer General Slocum,
caugh fire today while passing through
the Narrows on her way to New York
from Far Rockaway and hurried fun
steam ahead with her whistle blowing
a constant succession of short, nervous
blasts and a plume of smoke trailing
behind her for a pier on the Lynn
shore. Her As passengers were landed
safely and the fire was extinguished
with $4,000 damage, but there was great
alarm In the city and on the harbor
until the full details were known.
Everybody remembered how a little
more than six years ago the Slocum
caught fire In the East river when
crowded with 1900 pleasure seekers,
mostly women and children was
brought to the waters edge with 30S
drowned, crushed or baked alive.
Today as then, the fire started in the
gallery and spread quickly through the
wooden superstructire. There was no
panic. The women were badly fright
ened. but the crew had no trouble in
keeping them in hand. and the children
were so pleased with the music of
the band which kept playing bravely
through the dash for shore, that they
never knew her danger.
The calls for aid from the Grand Re-
public brought boats, tugs, steamers
and a Brooklyn fire engine to the pier
and the passengers were quickly put
ashore and the fire extinguished.

that engine had been seized at Big
Shanty by the Andrews raiders, lies
rusting and rotting away on a sidetrack

years after having been made a free
gift to the state or such patriotic So
cieties as might desire to take charge

The Nashville, Chattanooga and St

It appeared in the newspapers and the
railroad company finally decided TO
make a free gift of 1t to the state.
This 1t did and brought it here from
Emerson and put it upon sdetrack
where it has remained ever since. The
gift of the engine seems to have brought
an end to the sentiment, and to this
good day nothing has been done looking
to the proper care and preservation of it.
In the meantime the General" the
conquered engine, poses in the depot at

the railroad gave it away, thereby max
ing the opportunity for doing something
with it.
Probably the conclusion will be reach

Fate of the Georgia Dog
The fate of the Georgia dog still hangs
in the balance. The senate has undone
its refusal to repeal the 81 tax which APP
plies alike to mongrel and pedigreed ca
nine, and the question of recalling the
tax is opened anew for consideration
The senate last week, by vote of 20 to
II, defeated the bill to repeal the dog
tax on the ground that 1t should be given
a longer test. The very next day the sem
ate reconsidered its action and brought
the question back before the body as
unfinished business.
The way the matter stands over In the
house is this: Out of a half dozen bills
to repeal the tax, that by Mr. Adams Of
Hall has been favorably reported by the
ways and means committee. Also. the
house is reported to be favorable to the
repeal OF the tax. Therefore 1t becomes
question only Of what the senate is
going to do about ii.
1t is said that probably less than % per
cent of the owners of dogs return Them
anyhow, but those who do not want the
danger removed of losing their dogs In
the event there should happen to come
along a tax collector who decided to en-
force the law.

ated.
I'VE. the jury, find that the flour seized
was misbranded."
These two verdicts were returned in the
Federal court here today by the jury that
for more than five weeks has listened to
testimony for and against the charge OF
the government that 625 sacks of -four,
bleached and sold by the Lexington Mill
and Elevator company, Of Lexington,
Neb., and seized by the government while
in the possession of the purchaser, gro
Ger at Castle Mo-, were adulterated in
that 1t was bleached by the Alsop process,
which makes use of nitrogen peroxide in
bleaching flour.
Msbranding was charged in that the
-four seized was labeled a fancy patent,
and the government contended 1t was not
fancy patent, because 1t was not made
from a first-grade hard winter wheat.
Bruce Elliott, chief counsel for the mill
ers, made the following statement after
the jury had reported:
This case was not one that should
have been tried by jury. 1 called per-
sonally upon President Taft and assured
him that all the millers desired was a
fair test case.
THE President assured me that the
nlillers need not be worried and that a
fair test case would be made. Immediate
~ thereafter, under orders of the Attor-
ney General these seizures began in diff
ferent parts of the country. We started
out to defend the cases on the assump-
ton that the government would permit
them to be tried before a referee"
Attorneys for the millers will file a mo-
ton for a new trial within 20 days. Ar
guments on 1t will be decided by Judge
Mcpherson about September /. If the
motion is overruled the case will be car
ried at once to the circuit court of ap-
peals.
Millers say that the bleached flour de-
cision will handicap the farmers OF the
southwest to the extent of from $4,000, 800
TO SIS. 900 a year. They say the old
differentfal of 3 cents bushel in vogue
in Chicago and St Louis markets before
bleached -four came in will soon reap
pear Already millers are considering
the. esta blishment of bleaching stations In
states where the use of bleached -four Is
not prohibited.
Thus they say they may avoid the in
terstate commerce law.
