The official report of Internati7n

bell will contain many surprises when
it Is offered for publication. While
exact figures are not available, 1t is
estimated that 1000 illicit stills were
raided and seized during the past
year, while the figures for the year
ending June 80, 1909, showed Lao
successful raids The commissioner

age of corn and consequent raise in

The price of moonshine whiskey
in Virginia is quoted at $1.25 and
purchasers and consumers say it is
superior stuff. One revenue officer
was killed and five were wounded

One of the most spectacular en-
counters which the Federal officers
have had with moonshiners in recent
years was the raid headed by Agent
Sans in North Carolina three weeks
ago. A pitched battle took place,
in which over 400 shots were ex-
changed, but no one was seriously
injured, and the moonshiners surren-

Alleged Protection.

At Chicago on Friday Mrs. Henry
Mulsaw, goaded to desperation by
the alleged brutality and unfaithful-
ness of her husband, street car
conductor, shot and fatally wounded
the latter and their three-year-old
daughter, and then killed herself by
taking carbolic acid. Mrs Mulsaw
borrowed revolver from her faith
er alleging that she needed it for
protection when her husband work
ed at night. Then she wrote letters
to her parents, her mother-in-laW
and to the public.
In these she declared that she had
been good and faithful wife, but
that Mulsaw spent his spare time
with other women and often bet
her.
Mulsaw is alleged to have been
with another woman until o'clock
Thursday morning, when he return
ed to his home. According to the
police he began abusing, his wife,
seizing her by the hair and kicking
her.
She then drew the revolver and
shot him in the abdomen. He fell
to the floor and she sent another
bullet into his back. She went TO-
her bedroom and fred a bullet into
the body of her little daughter.
Satisfied that both were dead she
completed the TRACED by taking pois-
on. That she. kissed her child after
taking the poison is shown by the
marks on the child's face.

with the music Of the band, thai

The calls for aid from the Grand
Republic brought fire boats, tugs
steamers and a Brooklyn fire engine
to the pier and the passengers were
quickly put on shore and the fire
extinguished.
Thousands of people had gathered
along the shores to watch the blaz

OLD SOLDIERS IN SESSION
Remarkable Scene Took Place When
Gen. Daniel e. SickIes Entered Hall
Where Meeting Was Being Held.

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE hotels,
piers and boardwalks are crowded
with old soldiers and their families,
who are here to attend the forty
fourth annual encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
Commander Vansant and Hilary A
Herbert, of Alabama, formerly secre-
tary of the navy, and general in the
Confederate army, were the principal
speakers at large gathering of vet
Grams on the steeplechase pier.
After a short address by the COM
mander, Gen. Herbert eulogized the
members of the Grand Army and their
commander. He told how the wearers
of the blue and the wearers of the
grey were being welded together for
the cause of the Union.
Commander-in-Chi Vansant and
Gen. Daniel E. Sickles both declared
they would work for the proposition
advocated by Gen. Herbert of bring
ing the grizzled veterans Of the North
and South together, and the former
will bring the subject before the G. A.
R. members. 1t is believed that this
demonstration of friendly feeling will
end the agitation against the placing
of a statue of Gen Robert E. Lee in
Statuary hall in Washington.
A remarkable scene took place with
the entrance of Gen. Sickles into the
building. AS he swung down the aisle
the veterans arose as one man, and
four of his command lifted him, chair
and all. and placed him on the plat
form while band played "Dixie" and
the crowd cheered.

AuTolsT FOUND DEAD.
Hands Held Charged Electric Wire
Supporting Traction Line Poll.

indianapolis, lnd.-Death came to
Robert E. Morrow, automobile sales
man, in a peculiar and mysterious
manner.
His body was found attached to a
live wire supporting a traction line
pole west of indianapolis. His hands
held the wire so firmly that it was
with difficulty they were separated
from it. His body was charged with
electricity and two men were shocked
before he was removed by patrol
man in rubber clothes.
Morrows car was jammed against
an abutment about 20 feet from where
he died. 1t is supposed that he struck
it during a heavy rain, and that he
took a header down an embankment.
It is believed that he must have
grabbed at the wire to stop his fight
into a creek and that in doing so he
received the shock that caused death.
He was aged 30.

THROUGH NIAGARA FALLS
Man Passes Down Cataract in Little
Motor Boat in View of Crowd
of 10000 People.

Niagara Falls, N. YIN a little mo-
tor boat, Capt. Klaus Larsen complet-
ed four and one-half miles of the trip
through the whirlpool rapids, but his
boat and himself were battered so
badly that he gave up before reaching
Lewiston.
Forty thousand people saw his reck-
less trip. Larsen held to the middle
OF the channel, and in less than three
minutes had made the great pool
After getting through Devils Hole,
the Ferro swung toward the rocks on
the American side of the river, rolled
over one boulder and went fast be-
tween two others. Getting free, he
was hit by comber and sent careen-
ing toward the middle. At the bend
the boat drifted toward the American
side and was caught in the shore eddy.
The Ferro grounded near enough to
shore to be caught by Roy Rockwell,
of this city, who waded into the water
and caught rope thrown by Larsen.
Larsen wanted to continue the trip,
but, having accomplished the worst
part of the journey, was persuaded to
board trolley to Lewiston, setting
the boat adrift.
"The trip was worse than | thought
1t would be-" said Larsen, "but am
not hurt and will do it again some
time with another boat" Except the
old Maid Of the Mist, sent through in
1854 to avoid seizure, Larsen's is the
only engine-propelled craft to have
gone through the rapids. Peter Nissen,
Chicago, 1900, and c. A. Percy, 1887
and 1901, went through the rapids
safely in barrels.
