The victims are the city's tax payers who are charged. In nome Instance It ap pears wrongly, with delinquencies. The profits have gone to a ring of tax scalpers, who were assisted In every possible way by the alleged defaulting Tax Collector Smith, and his subordinates In office.

ELLIOTT OPPOSES REGULATION OF TARIFFS President of the Northern Pacific Says Present Laws Are Sufficient to Prevent I'njnst Discrimination. WASHINGTON, May 20.-Chalrman Mar tin A. Knapp of the Interstate Commerce commission was heard by the senate com mittee on Interstate commerce today. Ho did not favor a radical departure from the present wise and beneficial law, but de sired to have its detects corrected and Its weak points strengthened. Discrimination against a community on account of a smaller charge for a longer haul than for a shorter haul could be corrected under the present law and some Increase of re straint should be provided. Commissioner Knapp did not believe that there was danger of Inflexibility of rates or fixed mtleege rates In case the proposed legisla tion was adopted, as seemed to be feared by the railroad men Notwithstanding the fluctuations In the price of cotton there had been no change In transportation rates In ten years Mr. Knapp cited this as an answer to the assertion that the rates must constantly change to meet changed conditions. Something should be done, Mr. Knapp thought, toward compelling carriers hav ing short line connections to unite In mak ing through rai.es. Mr. Knapp did not regard the courts as the best remedy for unreasonable rates. President Elliott Testifies. Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific railroad, told the committee that he agreed with the president when he said the great highways of the country should be kept open on equal terms to all and that rebates should cease. He opposed giving any government commission power to fix rates. He asserted that the present laws are sufficient to properly regulate the railroads. Discrimination between lo calities will always exist because of geo graphical conditions. He advocated cut ting off free transportation and half rate tickets to government and state officials and others. Mr. Elliott was asked about the Spokane, Wash., situation, where higher rates are charged than to Puget sound points and he replied that It was a very difficult case and the railroads were trying to effect an adjustment. Mr. Clements of the Interstate Commerce commission was again heard today. He be lieved that terminal and other abuses have grown up stnee the passage of the Elklns law in attempts to evade that law. He had never advocated a minimum rate regula tion. Denver Alleges Discrimination. William H. Hover, representing the Den ver Traffic commission and the Chamber of Commerce of that city, wanted the com mission to correct what he called gross and unfair discrimination agalnrt Denver In favor of Missouri river and Pacific coast cities. He consulted tables of rates to prove his contention. He aaid Ave men practically control transportation west of the Missouri river. Russell B. Stevens of Sacramento, Cal.. horticulturist, criticised the Armour car lines. He said be represented 96 per cent of the fruit growers of California. He as serted that, there was a combination be tween the shippers and the car line com pany which resulted In an Injustice to the growers. H. B. Browne, attorney for the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe, denied that an official of that road had acknowledged giving re- Dates.

Commit tee reports were continued by the general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church when the commissioners were railed to order today. While it cannot now be definitely ascertained, it Is believed that the special committee to whom was referred tho report on church federation, which was made to the assembly yester day, will make Its report early next week. The question of how the governing body will dispose of the matter Is a mooted one a quite a number of commissioners are inclined to the belief that It Is the first step to final organic union with 'the north ern branch of the Presbyterian church. If these delegates can be convinced that the movement for closer co-operation Is- wise the vote will probably be In favor of fed eration, but otherwise opposition will prob ably be developed strong enough to defeat the measure.

The stricken mother has gone to Topeka to accompany the body to Fort Madison, la., where burial will take place. QUILLIAM TALKS OF BALKANS Shlek-I'l-Ialom of Britain Soys Effort la Made to Injure Turkey. LIVERPOOL, May 20.-(Speclal Cable gram to The Bee.) W. H. Qullllam Bey Effendl, Shelk-ul-Islam of the British, Isles, returned home to Liverpool this week after a three months' Inquiry on behalf of the sultan Into the state of the Balkans. Interviewed on the subject, the sheik de clared he was satisfied that a conspiracy existed to drive Turkey out of the Balkans, and ultimately out of Europe. Bulgarian revolutionaries were armed with Mauser and Mannllcher rifles, which had been bought, he asserted, by the Insurgents with money raised by the Balkan committee In this country from people some of whom were prejudiced agalr.st the sultan on re ligious grounds,, while others were misled by lying reports of certain agents Of the Balkan committee. The following statement was made by the sheik on the Balkan question: "If left alone by the European powers the sultan would be able to Keep the peace between the various nationalities and creeds In tho Balkans. As It Is, the vast mass of the people are loyal to him. There are some few disloyalists, as there are even In our own land. 'I warn the British public that If these Intrigues succeed the last state of the near east will be worse than the present. "The dismemberment of the Turkish em pire would revive the eastern question, that spark In a powder magazine. There would be an European Imbroglio. The question of the near east would become anarchic. Therefore, I say, cease meddling with Turkey; let the powers give It com plete control of Its subjects. Christian as well as Mussulman; stop these Bulgarian raids and massacres and peace and con tentment will reign in the Balkans once more." Prominent Kentucklan Killed. GLASGOW.
