Per Cent Of Profits, Says
Tobacco Spokesman

The cigarette business will
be hard-hit if Congress in
creases the present tax, which
takes 80 per cent of the indus
try's profits, Junius Parker, of

Mr.. Parker said:
The manufacture and the
Federal Government are in the
tobacco business in partnership.
AS things are now, you get 30
per cent Of the profit Of this
joint enterprise and we get 20
per cent.
Taking into account customs
duties and other Federal
charges, the United States gets
$5OO,00O,OO0 a year and the man.
ufacturers get SIPS, 100000"
Parker declared that cents
out of the sale price of every
package of cigarettes Of 20 goes

The relief bill would set aside
$l25, ,000, 900 for contributions to
the States between its passage
and next July /. Another $3.50
00O, 900 would be made available
for like contributions during the

Deceived Transfer Man

Percy Brown to be excused for the
day.
Deceived Transfer Man
Another ruse was when Mrs.
Judd told a transfer man, Rich
ard M. Swartz, that the big pack
ing trunk, which contained the
two bodies, was filled with books.
This explained why the trunk was
sosheavy.
Mrs. Judd calmly explained her
wounded hand by telling her land
lord, H. U. Grimm, that she
scorched her hand while ironing.
A happy scene was portrayed
by Evelyn Mace, another nurse, in
setting the stage for the tragedy.
Miss Mace testified she had gone
to the home of blonde girlish Miss
He1wig Samuelson. the other
slain girl, and Mrs. Leroi for din
ner and to play bridge. The bridge
party broke up about 9:45.
Car Operator TeStifies
Meanwhile, according to the
testimony of B. w. Jergemyer,
operator of a one.man street car
on the Indian school run. Mrs
Judd was approaching the horror
scene like a silent nemesis.
She rode on Jergmyer's car to
within three blocks of the Leroi
Samuelson duplex apartment. Two
hours later she boarded the same
car for the return trip after, what
the State contends, was a battle
in which she shot her erstwhile
chun1S to death and left them ly
ing in their diSarranged bedroom
The second striking account OF
Mrs. Judd's activities was given
by the four Phoenix witnesses
who related the movements oi
the trunks containing the bodies
Load Trunk On Truck
SWartZ, the transfer man, de
clared Mrs. Judd called him tC
the murder flat at dead of night
and held lighted matches while
he and two helpers loaded the
heavy trunk on their truck.
SwartZ warned Mrs. Judd the
trunk was too heavy to check or

ordered him to take the trunk t.
a different locality, riding witt
him in the truck.
The State contends Mrs. Jude
took the bodies to her home in 6

FEDERAL AID
FOR HIGHWAYS
TOTAL OF $4,490,O0O WILL COME
TO OHIO IN DISTRIBUTION
OF GIGANTIC FUND UN-
DER FEDERAL RELIEF
BILL

The federal relief bill recently
signed by the president includes an
appropriation of $12O,000,0 100000 fo1
highway construction. This appropri-
alton is divided among the states on
the same basis as regular federal
aid, and the amount apportioned to
Ohio will be $4,490,0O0.0O. This
money must be spent on the federal
aid highway system and may be sub
stituted for state money in the con-
struction of such projects.
Details of the methods to be en-
ployed in meeting the requirements
of the bill have not been completely
worked out, but it is known that all
contracts awarded will carry mini
mum wage and relief labor clause
and probably clause limiting the
number of hours which any man may
work during a week.
All contracts on which this mercy
is applied must be completed by June
80, 1888. Approximately $1,500,O00
of the appropriation will go directly
to labor on the contracts and accord
ing to department of commerce sta
tistics, the amount going to labor in
Guiding the production of material
and equipment will be three and
three quarter millions.
This money will enable Ohio to
carry out practically it's entire high
way program for 1882 since, because
of decreased revenues, it was neces-
sary to materially curtail the pro-
gram laid out early in the year. A
portion of the money will come to

gang at the London prison farm on

Reports that the man had boarded

Overstreet was working along the
right Of way of the mile and half
railroad spur into the farm when he
made the break for liberty, escaping
into a corn field adjacent to the track
The corn is so high and heavy that
trace of the escape was soon lost and
it is believed that he may have boarded
a truck on the south edge of the farm
on Z. S. Route AZ, getting away in the
direction of South Charleston and
Xenia.
The man was 80 years of age and
was sent up from Cuyahoga county
