When T. C. Carroll opened his butcher
shop at 810 Broadway yesterday morning
he nmdo the unpleasau discovery that the
place had been visited by burglars during
the night. The fact was made manifest
when he found the front door , which had
been left locked the night before at the
close of business , unfastened. 11 did not
take Mr. Carroll long to find that his safe
] md been broken open and the contents thoroughly -
oughly ransacked. The shall cash box la-
side time safe , which only contained small
change to the amount of $3 , had been taken.
This box contained some papers valuable
only to the owner , and Mr. Carroll says lie
will ho content to let the thieves keep the
small change If they will return these pa-
pers.

Examination of the store shows the burglars -
lars effected entrance by forcing a rear
window. As the front door was opened from
the Inside , the thieves evidently made their
depnrturo by it. The shop is close to the
Metropolitan hotel , where people ore passing -
ing in and out at all hours of the night.
The police were nollfied as soon as time dle-
covery was made , but they have no clew to

John T , Byrne , alias Tony Vade , charged
with being Karl Harbert's accomplice in the
robbery of David Bradley & Co.'s mail box
at till postolilco and in forging the firm's
endorsement to stolen checks , lied a par-
tint hearing before United States Commissioner -
sioner George F. Wright yesterday. The
authorities were anxious to Introduce the
evidence of another witness who could not
be located yesterday , cud the hearing was
continued for a week.
The principal witness against Vado was
IIarhert , who has been bound over to the
federal grand jury on the same charge. lie
testliled that the checks were given him by
Valle with instructions to try to gel them
cashed , he said that Vndo told him to
get the rubber stamp made with the firm
name of David Bradley & Co , on it , and
that Vndo stannped the checks amid forged
the signature of W. W , Loomis.
Vado admitted being In liarbert's company -
pany up to July 15 , on which ( late he ( Vale )
was ordered out of town by the police , but
denied being in the city since then. He
tried to establish an alibi by the testimony
of a man named Shery , who coudacts a
cigar store on Thirteenth street in Omaha ,
who said Vade had been in his place every
day up to the time he was arrested.
Two men who gave their business as
waiters were put on the stand and their
testimony was the same as Shery's. They
had both to admit they had been convicted
of felonies , and thus admission discredited
their evidence somewhat.
The United States was represented by
District Attorney Lewis Miles , who considered -
ered the case of sulllcient importance to
warrant his presence at the hearing.

$1,000 In less than an Imour. It was time
reward offered for time capture of a mur-

between time contesthnts , which resulted in
time murderer being safely landed behind

WASHINGTON , Aug. 5. The commis-
stoner of internal revenue bins rendered a
decision , in which he holds , In effect , that
persons engaged in mnnnufacturlmg sugar
from cane or beets , amid who do not buy and
refine other sugars , are not subject to thin
tax Imposed by time new war revenue act ,
This act provtdea as follows ;
That every person , dram , corporafton or
company carrying on or doing the business
of refining petroleum or refiuhmg sugar , or
owning or controlling any pipe lluo for
transporthmg oil or other products , wllose
gross muumunl receipts exceed $250,000 , slmall
be subject to pay annually a special excise
lax a tmivalcnt to one-quarter of 1 per
centnn on the gross aumounit or all receipts
of such persons , arms , corporutloms oml
conpanies in li.elr respective business In
excess of said sum of $250,000.
The contention of the courtnlssloner is flint
time law applies only to persons engaged mm
refining raw sugars , as disc nguishcl from
those wino produee the rae or uurellned
sugars from cane or beets , llridcr this ruling
prnetically all time beet sugar mills of the
west , and time came mills of time south , mire
exempt from time tax , who are held not to
bo refiners within the mnenuimmg of limo law.
Of this latter class there are said to be over

cently recolv'ed a number of letters protestIng -
Ing against the issue of one of the Traas-

the transmississippl series find tlmelr way
into homes , American Protective association
menmbcrs call the attention of time department -
ment to the Catholic stamp amid ask its with-
drawal.
