EPERNAY, April %. 1911.
The imnression caused by the spoliation
Of the champagne houses which suffered
most severely from the attacks OF the
rioters is SO profound that several pro-
prietors announce their intention Of leav-
ing their houses standing In the condi-
ton in which the pillagers and incen-
diaries left them.
Some OF those whose premises fell q
prey to the "savages" at Ay may con-
tinue their industry at Epernay, Rheims
or some other town. where they will be
under the protection Of a garrison. but
other firms, especially those engaged In
the cheap ehampag ne" industry. have
made up their minds to abandon the
Marine and establish their depots in Ger
many.
Although the damage done by the riot
css is enormous. most OF the houses that
were victims to the fury Of the wreckers
were insured against riot and their losses
will be made good by the insurance COM
panies.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The market for local securities today
at the meeting Of the Stock Exchange
was without feature as well as showing,
but the volume of business was good.
The stock OF the two gas. companies,
which has furnished the bulk OF the
trading for some days past did not figure
largely. The tendency in the case Of
Washington gas stock was q recovery
from the rather low level reached yes
terday.
An option on a hundred shares was
offered as low as 3O1z. with no bids and
at one time over 100 shares were on the
floor at 0O. The sales made were at
S9A and S91s. and one lot at S9A.
Stock Of the Georgetown company was
offered, as usual. at 100. but in small lots.
No quotation lot was offered at any price.
The bid for the stock did not rise above
o.
The typesetting machine stocks were
dealt in sparingly at better prices, which.
in the case Of Mergenthaler, represented
continuation of the recent advance.
while that of Lanston was recovery
to higher levels from the recent decline.
The latter sold at 96. while two shares
of Mergenthaler brought 2241h.
Some trading was done in the bank

NO EXCUSE FOR EITHER.

In a message to the Legislature pro-
testing against the treasury till-tap
ping, Gov. Hooper uses this sentence
''To whatever extent these two filibus'
tiers were actuated by a desire to pro.
mote the public good and prevent in.
justice, they will be justified, at least
in the eyes of our respective political
friends, but the friends of no party OIL
faction can approve of the voting OF
$65, 900 in lump sum TO members of
the legislature under the guise of ex.
penses or otherwise.
The trouble with Gov. Hooper's
preachments is that he persistently re-
fuses to condemn the acts of the men,
beers of the Legislature in running away
from Nashville.
The journey should not be dignified
by calling it q filibuster, it was asneak.
A filibucteris recognized right in
certain legislative assemblies. Men
who filibuster stay and fight. Stay
ing and fighting was the last thing the
runners to Alabama thought of. The
runaway to Alabama was without ex-
cuse just as much as the tapping of
the treasury till to the tune of $66, 900
was without excuse. APP

PAY FOR
R. F. D. CARRIERS

The salaries of every rural free deliv-
cry carrier in the United States who
has full route is today increased
from 5000 to $1,000. This is in accord
ance with an act of the last congress
which was made effective July 1, and
hereafter the advanced salaries will be
paid regularly, in mouthly Install
ments.
The rural free delivery carriers hope
to soon have their salaries increased to
$1,000 per year. They work from to
z hours and ride about twenty. five
miles delivering mail. They are re-
quired to furnish their own convey
anceS.
The rural free delivery service was
established only few years ago and
though the government loses very
heavily on it, the service has become
immensely popular and has been ex-
tended to all parts of the United States
Despite the fact that the postoffice de-
partment is economizing everywhere
possible congress saw fit to advance
the salaries of the r. F. d. carriers
800 per year.

SEVENTEEN HUNDRED
SALOONS IN MEMPHIS

Memphis, Tenn, July Themes.
see celebrated its second anniversary
today as ''dTy" state, but following
startling exposures at the office of the
internal revenue collector and express
sions from other servants of Unle Sam
that "prohibition in Tennessee, espe-
cially in Memphis, was farce" state
officials issued call for help in their eff
fort to suppress saloons and enforce the
law which became operative July /,
1909.
States Attorney u. N. Estes direct
ed communication to the Anti.Sa-
loon league, the Law and Order league
and Others, asking for appointment of
special counsel to prosecute the Offend
ers.
County Court Clerk Crenshaw issued
distress warrants against all holders Of
federal liquor license on the recent
state supreme court ruling that the
holding of federal license was prima
facie evidence OF violation OF the Ten
nessee law.
More than seventeen hundred sa-
looms fiourished in Memphis and su-
burbs since the enactment of the law
two years ago, which prevents sale of
alcoholics within four miles.of church
or 81 hool house in Tennessee. This, at
least, is the record of licenses issued by
Uncle Sam, and represents nearly three
times as many saloons as existed prior
to the placing of Tennessee in the dry
column.
The city has lost in estimated taxes
half million dollars yearly. The
profits of Uncle Sam during two years
increased, according to the revenue
agent here, several thousand dollars.

nothing girls of this community who
was then letting her mother wrestle
with the pots and skillets and do up
all the homework while she read yell
low-backed novels, bumbed the streets
where the loafers would notice her
passing, and met the trains at the de-
pot. l said then, right about her in
this column, that some day she would
get her pay out of the mills of the gods.
She's got it. For moro than year she
has been supporting worthless whelp
of husband by the washtub in a
neighboring city. He is one of bunch
that used to stand around waiting for
her to come out, while he smoked ci-
garettes and exchanged foul remarks
