There are many more in foreign coun-
tries.
United States Has Queer Law.
THE United States has a peculiar
law which prohibits reproductions of
postage stamps appearing IN cataloges,
ma gaines, or books on stamps.
Smith says. so many of the books
and catalogues are issued in England,
and then we buy them here" He is
possessed OF one cataloge which lists
every postage stamp ever issued in the
world.
Smith is descended from Pilgrim
ancestors. Six of his forbears were
participants in the Revolutionary war,
and some Of their ancestors In turn
came to the United States with the
MayfloWer group. In recognition of
these ancestors, and of the interest
which is attached to the Tercentary
of the landing of the Pilgrims. the
mail order business which Smith will
build up in stamps, is named Eye Pill
grim Stamp Shoppe."
1T will have to be mail order
business, Smith explains. People
would come in here ana spend SIS
worth of my time looking az stamps,
and then buying a 50-cent one at the
end"
So the queer-looking, valuable
| scraps of paper in his trunks and his
filing case, will be scattered about
over the earth-many of them will sc
to Europe-and new ones will take
their places And he will manage
the traffic in the intervals of gather
| ing letters from the letter boxes on
! the corners, and of studying law.

He GIVES OPINION
X. C. K. Officials Can't Enforce
Neat Inspection Ordinance.
Al F. Williams Says 1t Was
Unauthorized.

Any attempt of the Kansas City.
Kan. officials to enforce a city in
spection ordinance in the packing
plants already under regulations of
the United States bureau of agricul-
ture and animal industry was char
acteriZed as .unwarranted and unau-
thorized," in an opinion issued here
today by Al. F. Williams, United States
district attorney for Kansas.
Williams. who gave the opinion at
the request of the Kansas City legal
department, made it plain that as a
general rule his office does not give
opinions relative to the construction of
federal statutes or the application of
state or city laws in particular
instances, but inasmuch as the gravity
of the present situation at Kansas City
is apparent, he had. in spirit of CO.
operation waived the rule
The opinion, given in the form of a
letter, says in part: The percentage
of the products of the meat packing
industries in Kansas City, Kan, sold
in Kansas City, Kan. is such a small
percentage of the total volume of bust
ness of those industries and such a
great percentage of their products is
actually used in interstate commerce,
that it appears to US that any at
tempt on the part of the city officials
to enforce this ordinance is such an
dtiOlLlOlldi res uldl4On VI Sucn lnQuS-
tries as TO be unwarranted and unau-
thOriZed."
Ordinance Passed in june.
The ordinance in question was
passed last June and provides that any
person engaged in the handling of any
uncovered food products in that city
must show a certain degree of physical
fitness and must submit to oxamina-
lions for that purpose. 1t has been
rigidly enforced. it is said, with the
exception of the packing houses where
all sanitation measures are in charge
of government authorities and where
inspectors are in direct control.
The question of extending the ordi-
nance to the packing plants has arisen
since such demand has been made
upon the city officials, so it is reported
by representative of the striking pack
ing house employees. The demand. ac-
cording to reports from Kansas City
is being looked upon as a shrewd
move on the part of the strikers tC
further hamper operations at the
plants. To enforce the ordinance, il
has been pointed out. would make i
necessary for all of the persons who
have taken the place of those or
strike. to submit to a physical eX-
animation, and would also give the
| striking element list of the names OF
! every person working in the plants.
When state and city food and health
| inspectors appeared at the plant OF
| Armour Il Company, Thursday morn
! ing, to demand compliance with the
| food handlers ordinance, they were
; turned back The officials made the
demand. according to reports, after
| having assured a committee of strike
| leaders that the ordinance would be
rigidly enforced. When the inspec
| tors reported to the mayor and cit!
commission that they had been refused
admittance to the plant, the city au
thorities decided to confer with tn,
| federal authorities before makins
| further attempts enforce the ordi
| nance

Many Collectors in Topeka.

There are more than 100 collectors
of stamps in Topeka, Smith says. Some
of them are boys for whom collecting
stamps is youthful hobby. Others
are grown men-men of prominence
in business affairs. who have yielded
to the fascination of philately
THE stamp business is like any
other business as to supply and de-
mand," Smith says 1--WE are con-
tinually buying and selling from each
other, and from the wholesale houses"
He indicated that his work with the
postal department is of no particular
assistance to him in collecting stamps
There are some twenty-five trade
journals issued by stamp collectors
and by firms interested in the traffic

San Domingo. Dec. 16.-The Ameri

eating alleged cruelties by American
marines in San Domingo and Haiti,
completed its labors today and left for
home At the final session, grave
charges were made against the late
Capt. Charles MerkIe of the marines.
Testimony was given that he had cut
off the ears of prisoners and inflicted
the 'swater cure One witness
charged that prisoners were slashed
and salt and lime juice poured into the
wounds.
Emilio Suares, who had acted as

velopes. By mistake, one box was
printed with 81" over the "2.'' There
were but $50 envelopes so printed, and
Smith recently succeeded in buying, in
Kansas City, more than 200 of them.
He expects to realize profit of more
than $500 on that box of two-cent
spoiled envelopes.
1T is such specialties as that which
make the money" Smith says, rather
than the old or little known foreign
stamps"
