THE BOOTIIGGTR AS \ "SpICILATOR"

In Chicago, where the internal revenue bureau is not squcamish about considering bootleggcrs as in come tax prey, they are listed as "speculators." All income tax rc- lurns-whcn accompanied by q chock-are welcome 10 the govern- mcnt, and bootleggar can be TO- gardc1 as q perfectly law-abiling speculator SD long os he steps up like an honest gentleman and hands over his pound of flesh.
 Giving assurances 10 all honest and conscientious bootcggers' that they "wout be turned over to the authorities if they come in and lay down their income taxes like gentle men," is tho system followed in Chicago,
 This ought 10 bring considerable money out of hiding around Chicago. The same system in New England would bring similar results.

CHAPMAN FINALLY
LOSES H.ATTLE

It appears that the celebrated
 Chapman case has reached its last stage of resistance against tho yer
 dict of Connecticut jury The fed- oral Supreme court, in refusing 10 hear the technical contentious or his counsel permits Connecticut justice 10 proceed to the hanging of tho prisoner, thus averaging the death of ratrolman James skelly Of New Britain and furnishing n warning 10 other cvil-doors 10 be- ware. That, at least, is the inten- ton and object of the penalty. Only a new trial upon tho score Of new ly discovered evidence or clcmency from the board of pardons can avoid the inevitable.
 During the successive appeals and repricycs since the first con riction little has been heard re. gordins the guilt or innocence Of the celebrated prisoner. The ap- poals were made upon rather unique technicalty --- that the fed. cral government had no right to loan the prisoner 10 the Connecti- cut authorities while serving a sen tonee at Atlanta; that the sentence in Connecticut could not be carried out until tho Atlanta sentence was and that the prisoner did not need to accept presidential commutation of the Atlanta scn- tonCe in order 10 be given com plotcly into the hands of the Con nocticut authorities to do with him as this state saw fiji.
 The highly technical house of carls built up upon these claims has now fallen 10 the ground, There probably are few people who expected any other outcome.
