Rebels Eat Rat Biscuits

SAN DIEGO, August 12.-R. w. Cilendenning, son of the former mayor of Salt Lake arrived today from MazatIan and gave a terrible picture of the recent sacEing of the city of Durango. To illustrate the ruthless methods and ignorance of the Mex .cdn rebels, he related a tragic story of q grocer at Durango, who had in stock some rat biscuit When the insurgents took the city they plum dcrcG his shop as well as other busi- ness places, and being half-famished after their long tramp, many of the iootcra devoured the poisonous bis cults with the result that ten died that night.
 Fearing the water supply had been tempered with, the rebel leader or dercd the men to drink only boiled water. The next day woman pedd- Ter visiting the footed grocery found some of the rat biscuits. These she appropriated and sold to all who would buy. Several deaths occurred and the commander of the insurgents sent for her and questioned her. iIav- ing thus traced the death of his men to- the biscuits, he summoned the grocer. The latter, an aged Mexican, showed him the biscuit boxes prop erly marked poison with the warning skull and crossbones. The excuse was unavaiIing and the man was shot that evening back of his store.

MCCARTHY SAYSSAYS MONEY is
STORY A PURE
CANARD !.

City and County Treasurer Charles
j. Mccarthy has asked the Star-Bul-
letin to correct a wrong. impression
gained from an article appearing in
the morning publication in which it
was made to appear that a tax was
to be imposed upon persons engaged
in the writing or publication of liter
allure in any form, and that he had
spent a half day dispatching letters
TO persons subject to the tax, warn
ing them that unless it was paid at
once their arrest would follow.
Because of the story, which he de-
clares is untrue, many persons have
called at his office regarding it, TAX
ing up his time and theirs. So in
order to clear the matter up, he made
the following statement this morning.
1T is, absolutely untrue that we
are taxing brains, or putting a $25
annual tax on persons because they
are engaged in writing. There is
positively no ground for such a be-
lief. The law clearly says that this
tax is one on goods, wares and mer.
chandise,' and has nothing to do with
the one who writes novel, or music
or an advertisement 1t is upon the
one who sells the goods that the tax
falls. 1t is nothing but a mercantile
license tax which every one must
pay who sells goods, wares or mer.
chandise' within the territory.
1.-The taxes are being paid by the
merchants. have suggested to those
who do not believe in the validity OF
the law, or its application to them
that they pay it under protest, which
preserves their legal right to attack
the statute. This is being done by a
number. A test case is now on appeal
to the supreme court. The lower court
rendered Its opinion in favor Of the
tax. from which the appeal is taken
Those who pay the tax under protest
will probably abide By the decision
of the higher court
''The morning paper stated that
wrote fifty-eight letters the other day
warning persons or firms subject to
the tax that If they did not pay
would have them arrested. That is
untrue. I have written no such
letters"
