A SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD ROBBER.
We Vormed a Vartner hip and Did a Whole
sale 'llilcvlny Jiitlnrs .
Chicago , JulyJO. . Tho police have
succeeded in capturing a Bu.lteii-j. . . . . u'
robber whose achievements in the horsc-
' ' stealing lino are unparalleled in this part
of the country. His name he gives as
Edward Brown , and he claims to have
come from Kendall county , Tex. Abont
the Gth of Juno , Brown came in with a car
< load of Texas ponies , and wheu his friends
had sold their stock and returned home ,
he formed tho acquaintance of
Charles Crane , aged 10 , and also
hailing from Texas. Brown Boon proposed
that they go into the horso-stealing busi
ness on a large scale , being convinced that
it would bo a very profitable. A business
partnership wa * formed between the two
Texans audn barn was rented on the west
side of the city that would hold about
tweuty horses. Nightly forays were began
and were successful. The 0038 hired live
meu as crooms , bought hay by the ton and
oats by the car load. In les * than twenty-
four hours after they started business they
Iud stoleu five hordes and sold threo
of them for a liberal price. Tha
boldness of their plans was remarkable.
They would hitch two stolen horses to a
stolen carriage and drivo along Michigan
avenue until they saw a teun tbat suited
them. To aeo a good team meant owner
ship for them , lor they would fulljw it
home and iu all probability secure it at
night. Every few days these two Texaus
would go into the suburbs to look for good
horsed. They stole them noin iiydu
Park , Grand Crossing , South Chicago ,
Euglewood and other suburbs west
and south. Their stables became fu
of vali a ile horses , and citizens began to
frequent the stable for the purpose ot" buy
ing stoek. The business prospered exceed
ingly , and the whilom cowboys blossomed
out in radiant raiment. All the time com
plaints were con i ig into the police thick
< uul fast , but they could not lind the
thieves. July 12 , however , was a fatal day
for the adventurers. They stole a horse
and buggy from a north Bide citizen
and drove to a blacksmith shop near by to
have alight repairs made. While waiting
one of them stole the blacksmith's watch ,
and was soon accused ofthe theft. Both
drew revolvers- compelled the black
smith to apologize for the charge. As soon
as the boys had left tho smith complained
at the Lake View police station , giving a
good description of the bandits. A detec
tive was detailed on the case. Ho was
about to give up the search iu the
early part of last week , when sul-
denly he Baw the boys driving west
on Washington boulevard. He secured a
horse , followed them to their baru and
shadowed the place for three or four days ,
as he believed that they alone could not
have been guilty of such a gigantic scheme
of horse stealing as was before his eyes.
Crane became suspicious of the
espoinage and fled , but Brown was
arrested. On his person was found
§ 400 iu cash. Twenty-five horses and
eighteen stolen vehicles have already been
turned up , and more are coming in every
day. The horses are uniformly fine , and
the vehicles range from a dog cart to a four-
in-hand. Brown confessed everything to
Capt. Villiers.
Hosiers Visit Gen. Harrison.
IXDlAXArous , Ind. , July 27. A thous
and Hoosiers , principally from the northern
part of the state , paid their respects to
General Harrison to-day. In tho course of
his remarks General Harrison referred to
the legislative apportionment and the appli
cation of "Washington and Dakota territories
for statehood. He said : "The apportion
ment of our state for legislative and con
gressional purposes is known to be unfair.
It was intended to discriminate against the
republicans. I hope now the time has
arrived when the sense of justice which
ros'sats our people will leach men of
all parties that party success is not to bo
promoted at tho expense of injustice to any
of our citizens. When the republicans
shali secure the power of making an appor
tionment , I believe the experiment of seek
ing party advantage by public injustice
will not bo repeated. There are other
questions affecting suffrage. There are in
the northwest several territories organized
under public law with defined boundaries ,
filled up with brave , enterprising and in
telligent young men from all the states.
Several of theso territories have been for
years possessed of population , wealth , and
all requisites for admission as states. In
South Dakota there are nearly 500,000 peo
ple. For years they have been knocking
for admission to the sisterhood of states.
The territory has more people , more miles
of railway , more po3toffices , more churches ,
more banks and more wealth , than any ter
ritory ever possessed when admitted into
the Union. Our peoplo are called upon to
ta'ce part in the presidential election , and
the intelligent and patriotic people of Da
kota are deprived of any participation.
They are deprived of their appropriate in
fluence in the electoral college , only be
cause the prevailing sentiment in the ter
ritory is republican. If we appropriately
express sympathy with the cause of Irish
home rule , shall we not also demand home
rule for Washington and Dakota ? The day
when men can be disenfranchised or shorn
of their political power for opinion's sake
most have an end in this country.
Tho general then stepped from the plat
form and shook hands with the crowd.
A $300,000 Firt.
Cincinnati , July 24. About 4 o'clock
this morning the watchnan discovered a
fire on the second floor of the six story brick
shoo factory of Krippendorf , Pittman &
Co. , this city. Before the fire department
could begin work the flames had spread to
all the upper floors. Every pane of glass in
tho large shoo factory a hundred feet away
was broken by the heat , and window frames
scorched and almost on fire , but by con
stant watchfulness the building was
saved. The heat was so intense
as to ruin the high brick walls. The bouth
wall fell outward , burying beneath it two
dwellings on the south side of New street. ;
The other walls , except the front and a
portion of the rear , also fell , one of them 1
destroying a dwelling on North street. The ' .
front walls are in a very dangerous con- '
dition and will have to bo pulled down as
a precautionary measure. The lactorjwaa
one ofthe largest and beat equipped in the '
country. The loss on stock , manufactured
goods , machinery and building amounts to !
$310,000. which is total. The insurance
altogether amounts to $161,000. Five huu- <
dred and fifty employes are thrown out of '
employment. Tho origin of the fire is a .
mystery.
Another Chicago Bomb. ,
CniCAGO , 111. , July 27. The people of
Lake View , Chicago's nearest northern sub- ,
urb , were startled early this morning by a j
loud report in ( j3 neighborhood of G75 I
Lincoln avenue. Upon investigation frag
ments of an exploded gas pipo bomb were
discovered on the sidewalk. It had been v
about eight inches long and two inches in s
diameter. It had evidently contained no i
more powerful explosive material than T.
powder , as the first pipo iUelf bad not a
been blown to pieces. The polico are in- p >
i-estigating the case. f
THE FISHERIES QUESTION DISCUSSED.
WUton , Teller , Frye and Others Take a
Hand in the Debate.
WASTTIXGTON' , July 20. A number of
bills wero reported from the committees
and placed on the calendar , after which
Allison moved to the consideration of tho
army appropriation bill. Allison's motion
was agreed to , and the senate resumed con-
lideration of the army appropriation bill ,
the pending motion being on the amend
ment offced by Hawloy appropriating
750,000 for an armory or guu factory
at Watervliet arsenal , New York ; ? 5G00-
000 for the purchase of steel for high power
coast defense guns ; $500,000 for the pur
chase of submarine mines , and $100,000
for submarine controllable torpedoes. Tho
amendment was ngreed to without divis
ion , and ufter the adoption of a few other
amendments the bill was reported back from
the committee of the whole to the senate.
Berry called for a separate vote on Haw-
ley'a amendments , and proceeded to ad
dress the senate in opposition to it. It
was adopted by a vote of 24 to IG.
The bill was passed , and the fisheries
treaty was then takeu up , and Wilson , of
Maryland , delivered a speech iu favor of
its ratification.
Ho justified tho construction placed upon
the treaty of 1818 by the British govern
ment , and asserted that its rejection would
launch the Americau people on a Btormy
sea of retaliation , which it was vaiu to say
would not lead to war. The republicans
were tngaged in what they fully knew was
a desperate euteririse the attempt to
elect president. They feared that upon the
issue of the present contest hung the
life of their party. How unlike the
majestic career of the democratic party ,
which , being the party of the constitu
tion as against ( .ongreEsional usurpation ;
of home rule as against centralization ; of
economy as against prolligato expenditure
of labor as against monopoly had deserved
to and had lived a perennial life , which
all other old parties had stranded on the
shores of time. In debate on the treaty
the republican senator had been euactiug
the incendiary role of striving to arouse
the war spirit among the people , and
thereby to gain the votes ofthe restless and
uneasy bpirits throughout the land. They
had pursued the un-American policj
of appealing to t'ie same of old
word passions of foreign-born citizens ,
Few were so simple as not to see through
'their game. They thought they couid
Btorm and rave against Great Britain to
Btxch a degree as to convince some Irish
voters that they were about to twist the
liou's tail , while all the time to the busi
ness interests of the country , they laughed
at the idea of their furious tirades being
more than gasconade , without a pinch ol
warlike powder in it.
Frye said that ho would ask the senate to
meet at 11 a. m. on Saturday , Monday and
Tuesday , and until a voto wa3 reached on
the treaty , adding that shortly the tariff
bill would be before the senate , and would
occupy all itstime.
Teller commented upon what he
called some of the remarkable state
ments In the speech of the senator froni-
Maryland. He spoke of the edict having
gone out from the white house that the
treaty was to be supported , and said that
eighteen months ago the secretary of state
had been luring New England fishermen
into the British trap by tellmg them they
had rights which the senator from Mary
land now declared that they never had ,
in which the secretary of state himself , in
his letter to the Baltimore board
of trade , declared they nover had.
The senator from Maryland ( he said )
had gone several degrees beyond which any
British officials had ever gone , in his efforts
to defend the treaty. He challenged the
senator to point to any British or Canadian
authority that had taken so high and ex
treme a position as he had taken.
Wilson invited Teller to particularize the
charge. It was a very broad statement a
statement the correctness of which he de
nied. He asked him to state one single
instance in which he ( Wilson ) ha stated
tho British claim more strongly than it had
been stated by Great Britain or Canada.
Teller said he could not he expected ,
after a speech of two hours , to go over it
item by item.
Wilson The senator ought not to make
such a charge unless he is prepared to
maintain it.
Teller The senator has taken the ex
treme Canadian side.
Wilson I have not. I have taken tho
side which my judgment told me was cor
rect. When I commenced the examination
ofthe question my prejudices were all
against it , and I doubted whether I could
vote for it. But the conclusions to which I
havo come have been conclusions
of my own judgment of tho facts and law
of tho case. If I am wronc , I alone am re
sponsible. But one thing is certain , and
that is that no fling against me at having
assumed tho side of the enemy , will ever
induce me to suppress the sentiments of
my mind and the dictates of my heart.
Teller I have not suggested that the
senator from Maryland was not actuated
by proper motives. I have not suggested
that he has not worked himself into the be
lief that the extreme demands of
the Canadians have been fairly
interpreted in the treaty. I
know the pressure under which he has la
bored. I know the . pressure under which
the democratic minority in this body has
labored. I know that the secretary of the
state has considered it his right and duty to
write letters and to have newspaper inter
views on the subject , in order to induce
popular favor to come to this treaty. I
know that the president sent a message
here approving it. I know what all that
means to men who support the administra-
tration. I know that they may possibly
see clearly their right. I know , further ,
that on that side of the chamber
there are men who thought as we
on this side think , bnt who
have been brought under the influence of
the administration to support the treaty.
Saulsbury asked Teller whether his own
personal experience as a member of a re
publican cabinet led him to suppose that
senators had been influencod as he sug
gested.
Teller said he had had no such expar-
ience in his public life , or in his public
reading , as that of the secretary of state
making himself an active propagandist of
a treaty.
Morgan asked him whether this treaty
had not been carried into the republican
caucus , and voted upon , and whether it
hadn't there been determined that the
treaty should be opposed by tho whole re
publican party , and that no amendments
should be allowed to it.
Teller replied that no republican caucus

the republicans should vote for it or not.
There never had been a republican senator
in favor of it.
After further discussion the matter went
over without action. Two presidential ve

.HYING THEIR RESPECTS TO HARRISON.
A Large TAtt of Indlanlantt Call on the lle-
jmltllean Sinntnre.
On the 24th over 2,000 strangers paid
their respects to Gen. Harrison , the re
publican nominee for president , ot his
homo in Indianapolis. Major "William
Carter delivered a congratulatory ad
dress , to which Gen. Harrison rwnnn.i.
qd as follow
Gentlemen and Feiemls : I thank you for
this enthusiastic demonstration of your
interest. Thia demonstration has relations ,
I am sure , rather to principles than to men.
You come , its I understand , from all pur
suits to declare that in your opinion , your
interests as farmers , as miners , as mechan
ics , as tradesmen , are identified with the
maintenance of a doctrine of protcctiou to
American industries , and the preservation
of the American market for American pro
ducts. Some resort to statistics to show
that tho condition af tho American work
men is better than that of the workmen
of any other country. 1 do not care now
to deal with statistics. Oue fact is cnougV
for me. The tide of immigration from all
European countries is toward our shores.
The gates of t'astlo Garden swing inward.
They don't swing outward to any American
labor seeking a better country than this.
My countrymen , the meu who have toiled
at wages iu other lands that barely sus
tained life , and opened no avenues of
promise to them or their children , know
the good land of hope as wellastheswallow
knows the land of summer. They testify
that litre there are better conditions ; wider
and more hopeful prospects for workmen
than in any other land.
The next suggestion I have to make is
this : That the more work there is to do iu
this country the higher wages will bo paid
for the doini : of it. I speak to men who
know that when the product of their toil is
iu demand in the market , when buyers are
seeking it , wages advance with the de
mand , but wheu the market for
your product is depressed , and the
manufacturer is begging for buyers ,
then wages go down. Is it not clear , then ,
that that policy which will secuie the
largest amount of work to he done at home
is the policy which will secure to our labor
ing men steady employment and the best
wages. A policy which will transfer work
from our mines ami factories to foreign
mines and foreign factories inevitably tends
to the depression of wages here. These
are truths that do not require
profound st'idy. Having here a land
that throws about the workingmen
special conditions more favorable than
are found elsewhere , if we cau preserve
also more favorable industrial conditions
we shall secure tho highest interests of our
working classes. What , after all , is tho
best evidence of national prosperity , and
the best guarauty of social order , if it is not
an intelligent , thrifty , contented working
clabs ? Can we look for contentmeat if the
workman is only able to supply his daily
necessities by his daily toil , but is not able ,
in the vigor of youth , to lay up a store
against old age ? A condition of things
that compels the laborer to contemplate
want as an incident of sickness or disabil
ity is one tbat tends to serious disorder.
Conclude fo r yourselves what policy aB to
our tariff legislation will best subserve your
interests , the interests of your families and
the greatness and glory of the nation of
which you are citizens.
My colored friends , who here to-day ,
the emancipation of the slave removed
from the country that which tended to de
grade labor. Men are now all free. You
are thrown upon your owu resources. The
avenues of intelligence and of business
success are open to all. I notice that tho
party to which we belone has been
recently reproached by the suggestion that
wo have not thoroughly protected the col
ored man in the south. This has been
urged as a reason why the colored peoplo
should go in the democratic party. I beg
gentlemen who urge that plea to answer
this question : Against whom is it that
the republican party has been unable , as
you say , to protect your race ?
-Thanking you again for this demonstra
tion , and for your friendly express
ions , I will take my Clay county
friends by the hand. [ Great cheering. ]
Tho Clay county people had not finished
shaking hands with the general when the
John A. Logan club , veterans ofBlooming-
ton , Ills. , Arrived. Professor Adams , for
merly president of the Illinois Wesloyan
university , introduced the delegation and
made an address , to which General Har
rison , replying , said :
" 1 thank yon for the interest which tho
people of your state have manifested , and
lor your cordial fellowship with Indiana. I
will not discuss the issues of the campaign.
Let us all consider the history and decla
rations of the great parties and thought
fully conclude which is the more likely to
promote the general interest of our people.
The British parliament does not legislate
with a view to promote the interests of the
United States. They have in view the in
terests of the empire over which Victoria
reigns. Should we not also , as Americans ,
in [ our legislation consider . first | the in
terests our people ? We invite to thought
ful attention of those who have hitherto
differed with us to these questions.
Commissioners Still on the Rack.
Des Moines , la. , Jnly 27. The examin
ation of the railroad commissioners was re
sumed to-day. Commissioner Smith wa3
cross-examined by Judge Nourso , and the
examination in chief was resumed. Nothing
material was elicited. The commissioner
did not know of any change being made iu
either schedule or classification after its
adoption. In answering counsel for the
company , witness said he thought the
schedule of rates adopted would allow the
Iiock Island a good profit on its lines in
Iowa after paying operating expenses. Coun
sel tried to get witness' opinion as to the
effect of rates on other lines. He said that
Mr. Polk , representing the Des Moines &
Northwestern company , said no rate it
could get would be paying , and he believed
there were other roads that were so situated
that they could not be profitabty operated
with any rate3 they could get. In fixing
rates for Iowa , Commissioner Smish said it
didn't occur to him that the reasonableness
of such rates when applied to other states
should be considered. Answering a ques
tion as to whether the board had had any |
consultation with the cnmmis-ioa = rj of
otherstates , he said Commissioner Campbell
had , at the request of the other members ,
visited the ollicers of the ll.mois state
board for the purpose of obtaining such in
formation as he minht be able to yet , bat
he got very little. He bought a few copies
of the Illinois classification. Did not rec
ollect that Mr. Campbell reported that tho
Illinois commissioners had said that the
proposed Iowa rates were loo low. Did not
recolle J of any correspondence of this
boardwth the commissioners of Minnesota
on the subject of fixing rates , but if there
was , would direct the secretary to produce
it. Did not recollect any correspondence
with the commissioners of Missouri , or
those of Nebraska. Had seen it stated that
the commissions of some of the other state3
were talking about adopting the new Iowa
schedule. Witness was questioned as to
the gross and net earnings of the IJock
Islands roads and tho excess of the former
over tho operating expenses , interest and
dividends.

THE GOVERNMENT'S CLAIM.
The Secretary of Treasury XrantmtU to the
Senate Certain JleporU.
Washington , July 27. In response to
tlm senate resolution calling upon hlra for
evidence in tho treasury department re
lating to tho prouerty or tho United States
to which tho United States has valid claim ,
I which is held in adverse possession , tho sec-
rotary of the tioasury to-day transmitted
to the seunto reports of the oolicitor of the
treasury and commissioner of internal rev-
enuo on the subject. Tho acting solicitor
in his rcoort says tnere is no personal prop
erty in ' charge of tho office , but it has
been suggested that there is personal
property now held in adverse possession
to which tho United States has valid
claim. The commissioner says the only
property in charge of his office is real estate
acquired under the internal revenue law.
According to the letter from Mr. Littlepage
lately employed as an agent of the troasury
department to tho solicitor ofthe treasury ,
dated Oct. 19 , 1887 , it seems that lio was
employed to "assist in the prevention and
detection of frauds upon the customs rev
enue. " Continuing , bo says : "After my
several conversations with you I infer that
my especial jasignineut will be to recover
such property belonging to tho late confed
erate states as have been fraudulently or
improperly diverted or conceded. " 1 con
cluding he says : "Above all I desire that
my especial assignment shall be kept a
profound secret. "
In a letter dated November 11 , ' 87 , he
says he went to his home in King William
county , Virginia , to examine his old con
federate papers , made and received while
in Europe under the orders of the then con
federate states government , to obtain ac
curate data. Ho found that in the winter
ofl8G4hewas ordered to the confederate
ship , "The Texas. " This vessel was built
at Glasgow and was to have received her
armament and equipment while lying oft *
the coast of England by another vessel.
Captain Henry Sinclair , of the confedarate
states navy , was superintendent ot
construction of the vessel , her < Oit being
§ 1,400,000 , all of which was fully paid
by the confederate government. The
vessel , he says , started to sea , but having
been reported as a CDnfederato cruiser , was
seized. Captain Sinclar rather than carry
her through the courts he Becured her re
lease by guaranteeing that 8he should not
go into the hands of tho confederacy until
they should bo entitled to have her. He
theu chartered her , and when a few months
after the confederacy collapsed see was still
sailing under the same charter. He adds
that this vessel was fully paid for by the
confederate government , and should belong
to the United States. She in still valua
ble , and is now trading between Edinburgh
and Copenhagen. He adds that there were
several other Clyde built steamers
constructed by tho confederate covernmeut ,
Bimilarly disposed of by their agents or
captains , which should now belong to the
United States. There were also two pow
erful rams built by Laird & Co. , on the
Mersoy , ostensibly for the Chinese govern
ment , but inspected and tested by confed
erate officers. They wero seized by the
British authorities and finally disposed of
by the confederate agents in charge , and
are now in the British navy , having recent
ly been seeu by Admiral Luce at Bermuda
flying the British flag.
Littlepage also speaks of certain powerful
Clyde-built steamers and rams built iu
France for the Confederate government ,
and also Etates that the parties who re
cently visited Captain Sinclair's house
found that its linen , crockery , cutlery , etc. ,
bore tho letters "C. S. N. " which are sup-
posed to havo come from the Texas ,
He adds that two now Clyde-built steamers
the City of Petersburg , and the Old Do.
minion , which were built for the Confed
erate government , and paid for by it ,
are now running between Liverpool and
Dublin. Littlepage files an itemized state
ment of the conlederate property unrecov-
ered by the United States government ,
amounting to $30,000,000 , most of which
is in English hands. Tho estimates that
there are six millions in the United States ,
not including tho value of many millions
of dollars worth of cotton , belonging to the
confederate government shipped from
Brownsville , Galveston , and Matamoraa
since the war.
The Railroad Commissioners of Iowa.
Leavexwoktii , Kas. , July 2G. About
three weeks ago the Northwestern railroad-
company applied to Judge Brewer for an
injunction to restrain the railroad commis
sioners of Iowa from enforcing the schedule
of transportation rates which it had made
under the authority of the legislature ,
on the grounds that the rates
were so low that they would
bankrupt the road. The legislature can
not delegate its power. A tomporary in
junction was granted , and au explanatory
hearing was had to-day. Judge Brewer
has made a decision which continues the
temporary injunction. Discussing the
matter , he considers three questions ,
namely : The legality of the suit against tho
commissioners , the right of the legislature
to delegate the power to make a schedule ,
and the right ofthe state to fix railroad tariffs.
He decides that an action on such case as
this is not strictly an action against the
state , and can be maintained. Secondly
He thinks that the state may delegate such
power to railroad commissioners at least
the state courts have held that the delega
tion of such power is constitutional.
Thirdly He maintains that while the
htate has the right to fix railroad rates ,
it mu > t make . them reasonable ; that' '
is high enough to maintain the roads , pay
fixed charges and a return to the stock
holders , however small. The ( jucotion not
yet being settled that the rates of the com-
mis3ioners are reasonable in the sense that |
Judge Brewer used the word the injunc
tion is continued for further hearing on
that point.

THE SO-CALLED WHISKY TRuST , . * 5
An Investigation by the House Committeeoir
Manufaettirr * .
WAsiii.vaTOX , July 27. At a meeting : . {
of the house committee on manufactures to- j
tiny tho chairman announced that tho com- | i
mittee would proceed to tho investigation. fl
of the 8o-callcd whisky trust , and called J. - * 1M
M. Atherton , of Louisville , Ky. , prcsidont. | fl
of tho J. M. Atherton company , as the first fjl
witness. The company's headquarters , . fl
witness said , were in Laraguo county , Ky.- * Ml
and was not engaged in distilling whisky , fji
but in handling tho whiskey of a number jjl
of firms who do a distilling business in. 'M
their own names. The product of theso , | 1
firms is controlled by the J. M. Atherton. ' < il
company under an agreement. The object jl
of the agreement was to preserve tho trade- 'fl
marks of theso firms , which wero regarded jl
as valuable ones. There were , Atherton jm
said , two classes of whisky producers- • M
iu Kentucky ; those who made lino ijM
bourbon whiskies and a number of firms- jl
located along tho Ohio river who made- il
cheap whisky , the difference being in age . . . 9
There was no business connection between. H
these two cias&cs of producers , nor was. fl
there any connection between tho Kcu-
tucky distillers and those who made sub- } M
stantiiilly the same kind of whisky ia ffl
Pennsylvania and Maryland. In reply to * jH
n question witness said most of the large- ]
dihtilleiH of lino Kentucky whisky entered. Ifl
into an agreement by which they bound H
themselves to produce no whieky in the- jfl
fiscal year of 18 8. Somo few laigo firms- 9
refused to sign tho agreement , and there- jH
were about loO very small distillers fl
who were not asked to sign. H
Tho combined production of these ? S
non-sicners was estimated at t.HOO.OGO. I
The agreement grew out of the fact that
from lbal to 1887 there had been a very * B
large over-production of whisky. In order H
to protect tho owners of this whisky from. H
tho efl'ects of this over-production , an ngree- B
ment to suspend operations from July 1 , . H
18S7 , to July 1 , 1888 , was entered into. 'H
This agreement , witness desired to say. H
was not in the nature of a trust. There * j9
was no consolidation of property nor merg- | H
ing of interests. H
Witness was then examined with regard H
to the production of alcohol and spirits by JH
Representative lreckenridie , of Arkansas , 9
and asked if there was a trust in this trade. H
Witness replied he believed nearly all tne. H
distillers north of tho Ohio river were mem- H
bers of a trust. Tho headquarters was at H
Peoria , and W. R. Greenhut was. H
president. The trust also included a few HJ
distillers of alcohol and cheap whisky lo-
cated iu Kentucky , near Covington.
Representative Buchanan Excluding
the internal revenue tax , what is the cost
of a gallon of whisky laid down in a bond-
ed warehouse ? H
Witness That depends upon a great
many factors , which vary considerably ,
but assuming that corn sells for fifty cents ,
rye for eighty cents , and malt for eighty
cent * a bushel , a gallon ot standard bour-
bon whisky , with interest on the plant ,
would cot , say thirty cents , and excluding
interest on the plant , about twenty-three- V
to twentv-seven cents. | H
Buchanan What would ho tho effect of
requiring the tax to be be paid "when the
whisky is produced ; that is , abolishing.
bunded period ? | H
Witness It would substantially destroy
the manufacture of fine whiskies , because- S
of the increased cost of whiskies when they H
were fit for use , growing out of the fact H
|
that every gallon that evaporated would be SJ
a tax paid on a gallon , antl because of the H
heavy expense of carrying whisky for t-ev-
era ! years insurance , etc. The amouut of B
money required in the business would be flj
so great that no distilter could do much- flj
unle-s he was a millionaire. Such a law M
would lead to combinations , and rich ccm- SJ
binntious would soon absorb it all. , H
W. T. Sheiley , of Louisville , said he 1
was chairman of the committee to secure M
signatures to the agreement to limit pro- M
diiction in 18to ! ) eleven million gallons. * JH
only about twenty-live per cent of those j
who signed the ld-23 agreement , had signed agfl
the new - one. By the ldrtl ) agreement , . TM
nine million gallons of production H
was to be distributed among the- H
signers in proportion to their capac- H
ity , while two million gallons were M
lelt to be distributed , in the discretion oi M
the committee , among thoso whom previous- M
ye.us had not overpiodneed. The distiller * M
held ba k fiom signing the agreement M
until they could find out how much of this M
million gallons each was to get. M
W. H. Thomas , of Louisville , testified. M
that oue of tho reasons of tho export ot H
whisky to Europe was that h& -flj
and others believed Kentucky whisky fl
was better than foreign compound M
liquors , and thought they might make a. M
market for it in Europe. Ninety per cent M
of the whiskey exported was owned by M
wholesale dealer * , and he believed if they H
all wanted they could build up a big trade fl
in Europe. He was not in favor of the re- fl
peal of the tax on liquor , for the reason H
that every farmer with a stream near hisfl
farm could go into the business and ruin fl
the distilleries by over-produccion. With H
no tax on whiskey ho believed there would fl
be ten times the amount consumed. H
The court room at Aurora , HI. , on thefl
2-jth , was crowded to witness the open * - " * " M
ing proceedings in the .Burlington dj-na- M
mite conspiracy cases. The case of H
Baureisen and Smith was taken up on | |
warrants sivon out on July 11 , charging M
them with placing dynamite on Chicago , M
