BLOOIVWNGTON MARSHAL MAKES A RIDICULOUS SPECTACLE.

STAGGERS ABOUT !N

UNIFORM

Marshal Would Havs Been Sent to Jail If Chief Lyons Had Found Him—Came For Prisoner.

Marshal Oliphant, of Bloomfield, Ind., came here for a prisoner last night and while in the city made a disgusting spectacle of himself. He was decidedly under the influence of drink and this morning Chief Lyons cxpiessed regret "that he was not sent to jail!

Oliphant came here for a young man named Charles Kidd who had escaped Jrom the officers at Bloomfield and for whom a reward of $20 was offered. The officer had a tip as to where he could iiC" found and succeeded in getting him under arrest early in the evening. The ofheer was accompanied by two men r.from Bloomfield and after putting the prisoner .in the Terre Haute jail for safe ...keeping until this morning, the two "storied in for a good time. The Bloom field officer, who was in full uniform ted the way through levee districts and the visits and drinking continued until the early morning hours, when they all 'dccided that they needed sleep. Tlicy awoke about six o'clock but the officer never "ailed at the police station for the wagon to take himself and prisoner -yto 'i-e station, as is the custom. Not feeling well, pr«v stably, he sent his two friend* down to tne jail after the prisoner early this morning. Jailer

O'Donnell not knowing the men, refused to deliver the prisoner over to them and /informed them that the Bloomfield ofti'eer must, come for his man himself. The yrncn reported the. jailers ultimatum to

nthc

marshal, and a few moments later pui. in an apeparn.:*-^ looking much .'tW fo hi* nighi of sight-seein. vThr

was hi-y iv. oondi".on to take

»'eTtarge of a prisoner, but he had the authority, if he didn't have the head so ,yKidd \v?,i turned over to him. They left the jail and the last seen of Oliphant he was dragging hi- prisoner along

Oh err}" street toward the depot with pair of hand-cuffs. They reached the depot in time for the K. & I. train soutl .,nnd O'iphant's star engagement in Terre

Haute was ended. Kidd was arrested en a charge of larceny .a few days ago. rnd in some way made his escape from the officers and came to this city.

REVENUE MEN ADViSEiD OF RULING QF UNITED STATES COURT.

A HARDSHIP FOR DEALERS

Many Had Contracted fcr Delivery After Jan. 1, Less Arruunt of Tax and Will Loss Money.

Revenue men are receiving the following instructions regarding the specia. cax on tea: "By decision of the United States circuit, court for t!he southern district ot A.CW Vo'rk, tea now in bonded warehouses will be subject to duty of 10 cents per pound, even though withdrawn from .rare houses after January 1."

This telegram reverses a former ruling of the secretary of the treasury, which was to the effect that tea stored :iow in bonded warehouses could be withdrawn after the first of the year without payment of the special tax. To raise revenue to meet the expenses of the •panish-American war, a tax of 10 cents er pound was placed on tea importations. This tax expires with the present year, and some time ago the secretary was asked to make a ruling as to '. hether tea imported now and stored in mued warehouses uni.. alter January I would be subject to the spcial war tax. His ruling was that it would not, and on uh strength of this wholesale dealers all over the country imported large quantities of tea and had it stored for future withdrawal. Dealers placed large oriel's and there is said to be an immense -uiiount of tea stored away in the bonded warehouses to be withdrawn alter the new year.

Large quantities of tea have been tored in the bonded warehouses to be •ithdrawn after january 1.

According to a dispatch from Washington, Secretary Shaw has written a etter to Chairman Payne of the house rommittee on ways and means, recommending a modification of the existing aw so as to allow the free withdrawal tea from bonded warehouses for the purpose of consumption. -The dispatch -••ays: "The secretary urges that this action —to be accomplished eitner by amendment of section 20 of the customs administrative act, or by a special act allowing iie free withdrawal of tea now in warehouse—is necessary to avoid great hardship to tea merchants. "The letter calls attention to a recent lecision of the United States district court for the southern district of New York, which he.d that warehoused goods •)ii withdrawal for consumption are dutiable at the rate in force when the goods were warehoused. The department's practice under the customs act has been to collect duty at the rate imposed by law when the goods are withdrawn. Congress has provided for the free admission of tea after December 31, next and in the various warehouses -of the oounutry there is a very large amount of tea, imported under the impression that it could be warehoused and withdrawn free after December 31. The department Secretary Shaw says must collect duty according to existing statute. He con eludes, "Unless the law is modified the tea probably will be exported and much delay and litigation will ensue, for much of the tea has been sold to be delivered Jaivuary 1, 1903 at a price ruinous to wholesale merchants, if compelled to pay 10 cents a pound duty. "The amount of tea in bonded warehouses on October 31, 1902, was 64,126,785 pounds. Other importation since that date, it is estimated, have inreased that figure to approximately 70,000,000, the tax on which, if collected would be $7,000,000."

A complication develops from action taken a few weeks ago by Secretary Snaw. At the time he was not aware of the New \ork decision referred to. A number of importers, after explaining the conditions to him and telling him that they had made large contracts for the delivery of tea after him that the government warehouses were congested with the big importations of tea. They asked that they be permitted, under government supervision, to send the tea to jobibng warehouses during the month of December, and thus it would be near distribution points. The secre taiy was not willing to consent to this He did assent to the shipping of large quantities of the tea in sealed freight cars to different parts of the country. These sealed freight cars are now distributed in several states, and their contents are waiting for the removal of the tax.

The department, if forced to collect the 10 cents a pound imposed by the old act, may meet with considerable embarrassment.

COMPETENT BASEBALL MAN

League Offices Will Not Bs Combined But Different Man W ll Be Chosen for Each.

President L. D. Smith of the base bull association left today for Indianapolis where he will attend the meeting of the Central base ball league, to be held at Indianapolis tomorrow. The meeting is called for the purpose of organizing the new league.

In speaking of the meeting Mr. Smith Raid "If the right cities are well represented at the meeting the circuit of the Central League will be completed. Wheeling probably will get a franchise, all conditions being favorable but if we do not go east Grand' Rapids, Mich., is sure to get in the new league. Akron and Ytoungstown probably will get the other franchises if Grand Rapids is accepted. "As to the election of officers I favor choosing a man outside of the circuit for president. Charles White, formerly president of the Inter-national League is the only person I have heard suggested for the head of the league. He would be a good man for the place, if he will accept. The otner officers will be chosen from the representatives present at the •meeting. Offices will not be combined as in the Central League, but separate men will be chosen for* vice president, secretary and treasurer. "I do not know how much forfeit money the clubs will have to put up. A sinking fund may be established. It is proposed to have each city pay $150 a month to the league treasurer for league expenses, instead'of having the cities give a percent of the gate receints."

Mr. Smith will return home tomorrow night.

PAYNTWAS~?FNTENCEI

Kelley, Who Admits to Having Received a Part of ths Sto'en ''oney Will Be Sentenced Tomorrow,

William Payhe and Jesso :Iry. who were arrested yesterday charged with robbing the cash register in Frank Stineman's West Main street saloon, were arraigned in the city court this morning. Payne entered a plea of guilty* and was Ejiven a sentence of from one to threeyears in the Michigan City prison. In making his confession Payne made a clean breast of the affair, and told how he got the money, at the suggestion of Kelley, and how he divided with Kelley. When Kelley was arraigned he pleaded not guilty, and his trial proceeded. The testimony of the witnesses showed that while Kelley may not have participated in the robbery, he had a guilty knowledge of it and had received a part of the stolen money. Kelley admitted having taken some of the money. He wanted time to And a witness named Charley Jones, and as the police department also would like to interview Mr. Jones, the case was continued until in the morning. It was suspected that Jones, too, is implicated in the affair. At the time of the robbery there were several men in the saloon and. all were drunk, save the bartender, and he was sound asleep. The crowd'had free access to ihe privacy of the bar, and when a man wanted to "set 'em up" he had only to call up the crowd and draw the drink. There was" no monetary consideration, as the saloon for the time belonged to the guests.
