INGENIOUS WAY
OF EXPLAINING
WHISKEY FRAUD
Now Claimed Bottled in Bond" Goods
Are Tempered With by
Experts.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. LIT has just
leaked out that several of the large
distilleries of the country, assisted by
internal revenue men, are trying to
run a system of fraud that is being
practiced in prohibition Mississippi
a system by which certain persons
who supply the blind tiger trade OF
the state, or the tigers themselves,
are swindling' whiskey drinkers.
1t explains why much of the high
grade whiskey consumed in this and
other prohibition states is such vile
stuff, at the same time showing mans
ingenuity. 1t is said the scheme was
worked out by Kansas man who has
grown rich through it.
It is. nothing more nor less than
tapping whiskey bottled in bond. 1t
is done through the bottom of the
bottle, while the seal and government
stamp remain in tact. Three little
holes are drilled through the bottom
with an electric needle. One quart
of good whiskey is sufficient to make
four, and thus the bottle carried the
approval of the pure food inspectors.
the government stamp showing it was
bottled in bond and has every appear
ance of being the genuine article.
The whiskey is sold at a high price
here, as customers are willing to pay
the price for a standard brand of Joy
water, but they don't always get what
they pay for.
Many bottles recently bought here
show the whiskey has been drawn
through small holes in the bottom,
which have, after the whiskey is doc
tored and the bottle refilled with the
contents, welded. Unless one is wise
to the trick he will never know the
difference, though the whiskey does
not have the old familiar taste.
Distilleries have learned of this and
are trying to trace the violators of
both the internal revenue and pure
food laws. Most of the whiskey is
shipped into Jackson through mail or
der houses who make a specially OF
this class OF business, and man
naturally thinks, because it bears the
government stamp and label of a well
known manufacturer, that it is good
whiskey.
Several Jackson residents have re-
Gently discovered their whiskey had
been doctored, though there was no
indication of the seal and stamp being

Sensible advise

Here is some sound advercis-
ing wisdom from the WatertoWn
"Standard":
There was a day when adver-
tising went by favor, a merchant
giving his business to a publisher
he liked and feel more or less
generous over the bestowal Of a
gift. That day has gone by. Ad-
vertising i:an investment, returns
upon which are checked off with
as great precision and accuracy
as interest on bonds. The enter
prising merchant gives out no
business on friendship. He fig
ures results and distributes his
advertising appropriation to
that end. The merchant who
advertises at haphazard is
wasting money and the news
paper which fails to return val
ue for advertising may count its
prosperity but temporary.
Advertising enables a news
paper to give it's readers a paper
which costs much more than the
price charged. The newspaper
brings money spent back to the
advertisers and helps the
merchandising business of it's
city.

DO SHI DOE
and LUM TOE
ON TRIhL

The cases of the United States
VS.. Lum Toe and Doe Sal Doe,
two natives of the Celestial En-
pire, charged with being unlaw-
fully in the United States, were
called by U. S. Commissioner
Neal Jenson, yesterday after
noon. M. G, Browne, chinese
inspector of Albuquerque, repre-
sented the United States, Will
liam A. Brand of Ell Paso, acting
as interpreter. Both defendants is
appeared without counsel.
In the case Of Lum Toe, the
first to be tried, the evidence
was quite conflicting. The de-
fendant had no trouble remem-
bering things which were to his
advantage, but whenever a ques-
ton was asked which might
harm him his "forgettery"
worked overtime.
Doe Sal Doe, alias % Foo,
with several other aliases in
stock, showed that he was quite
a bit better posted on American
ways, even to evading questions,
when it appeared best to him to
do SO. He could figure dates ac-
curately according to the Chi
nese Calendar, but could not give
an altogether straight account
of himself in many particulars.
At the conclusion of the testi-
mony in the cases, which was
after six o'clock, court adjourn
ed until nine o clock this morning,
at which time the commissioner
will render a decision in the
matter.

in twenty-four hours a general
armistice will have been pro-
Gained by the Federal govern
ment and the insurrectos. The
peace commissioners have been
in conference and'i is rumored
that all except a few minor diff
culties have been arranged salts
factorily.
1t is understood that under the
agreement reached by the COM
missioners, the insurrectos will
name three members Of the pre-
sidents cabinet and the COVER
nors of fourteen Of the twenty
seven states. This is a slight
modification from their demand,
these having been for at least
four Of the portfolios. On the
other hand the federalists
have granted more than they had
heretofore agreed to, as instead
Of ten, they now grant fourteen
states to the insurrectos.
The answer of President Diaz
is expected tonight. tits under
stood he will agree to- resign at
once and a new election will be
called to elect his successor.
There is no doubt but that a Pro-
gressive Party will be organized
and Francisco |, Madero, Jr.,
will be the nominee for president.

DEBhTE ON

WARMING UP

Washington, D, C. May 49,
Statehood for New Mexico and
Arizona are the topics before the
House today. tits expected that
this will be the principal topic for
at least three days and possibly
longer. The report Of the COM
mittee on territories was called
up this morning by Chairman
Flood of that committee. The
debating time has been divided
between the democratic and re-
publican members Of the house.
Representative Langham of
Pennsylvania has taken the
leadership of the republicans
while Chairman Flood is acting
as spokesman for the democrats.
Mr.. Martin of Colorado opened
today for the democrats, advo-
eating the adoption of the joint
resolution admitting the two ter
ritories, giving them each the
right to vote on that particular
clause in the constitution, which
appears to be the bone of con-
tention.
Representative Willis of Ohio
will be the next speaker, he
representing the republicans. An
effort is being made to open a J
fight over the form of the ballot,
which will be entirely different in
New Mexico from that used here
tofore. The standpatters claim
that the voters will not under
stand the ballot and consequent
ly will not be able to vote their
sentiments.

Do Not Want
Mexican MOn0lI

Ell Paso banks are being clut-
tered up with Mexican money.
Considerable Of it appears to be
coming into the city and none
going out, so that the banks have
cut the price to IS cents from
49, cents, and the officials say
they do not want it at any price
if it can be helped.
Francisco I. Madero, provision
al president Of Mexico, has agreed
to take the Mexican money
in payment of customs duties in
Juarez when he opens the customs
house, and this will relieve the
situation somewhat.
The clearing house held a
special meeting Sunday to con-
slider the situation regarding the
handling of Mexican money. 1t
was decided not to agree upon
any concerted action or to fix a
definite price for the Mexican
currency at this time, allowing
each bank to govern its own
action in the matter.
The great influx Of Mexican
currency has embarrassed the
local bankers. Ordinarily there
is a demand for the Mexican cur
rency equal to the supply. Just
now the demand is entirely cut
off, but the supply is greater
than it has ever been. Local
banks are paying 45 cents gold
on the dollar for Mexican money
and are taking no more of it than
necessary to accommodate their

 Says Judge Grosscup in statement:
 The reason for my resigning is that I wish more freedom, not only as an indi- Vidua1 but as d citizen. The world pos ltically is trying to catch up with the world is radically changing economic con ditions The formative period is ap- preaching Next years presidential cleo ton will, l believe. be the last one on old lines
 And the settlement for the future will come, not through the courts of law out through the courts of public opinion. I wish no office-expect never again to hold office-but I wish greater freedom than the bench gives to do my part in this court of public opinion
 Judge Grosscup came into public notice when the court of appeals reversed the action of Judge K. M Landis in lining the Standard Oil company s29,0o0000.

inhumanity to man has made countless thousands to mourn in many ways, but the building of fire traps for inveiglns innocent people, helpless women and enil- dren, to a horrid death should not be tel- erated in this Christian country. The joss of so much property annually that is largely preventive is q shame to our want of care and foresight but the loss of so many helpless lives each year is dis grace to our civilization.
 Tt is within our power to prevent SO great loss of life and property It IS simply a question of education. the ,rea- ton of a public sentiment that will de- mand improved conditions Our influence should no longer sleep; it should be ac- tive alert, keenly alive, and felt for good In the communities in which we live, and it must extend to all the walks Of life.
