DECISION IX FA VOIl OF TIII2 AHAMS Exrncss COMPASY. Latter Is Nnt-n Llqaor Dealer Decame It Collect Money on Drink Milppe! Into Iowa. KEOKUK, la., Dec, 22.-Judge McPherson, of the Federal Court, handed down to-day an opinion in the case of the United State vs. the Adams Express Company, in which the corporation was indicted for carrying on the businca of a retail liquor dealer without having paid the special tax as required by the law. The Federal Court In Its opinion holds that the express company is only an agent of the venders In carrying liquors and collecting and returning money. As tho express company did not sell liquors it was not engaged in the business of a liquor dealer. The court in thü opinion has overridden the decision of the Supreme Court of Iowa. The packages of liquor were sent by a liquor house at Dallas, III., to parties at Birmingham c. o. d. The express company was Indicted, the government claiming title was transferred to the company when It received c o. d. packages. Judge McPherson, In his opinion, says: "The only question to be considered In the case is where and by whom liquor was sold. If In Illinois the court is without Jurisdiction. If by a Dallas company in Iowa, then the grand Jury has erred in naming the defendant in the indictment. Did the Adams Express Company carry on the business of liquor dealer In Iowa? The defendant, as a common carrier, may exact carrying charges in advance. Or it may waive prepayment of such charges. In which event it has and retains a lien on such merchandise for carrying charges, payment of which by consignee .removes the lien. In such case the carrier has no interest nor profit In the transaction other than as a carrier. It receives no commission for the sale of the liquor." Judge McPherson holds that the title to the liquors passed from the Dallas company to the consignees when they were deposited In the express office at Dallas. TALK WITH BEVERIDGE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) of the extent of the gas, oil and coal wealth of Indiana. 'I think," said Mr. McCulloch, "that the Legislature should pass a bill appropriating $50,000, or some such amount, to be expended under the direction of the state geologist in drilling a number of wells in various sections of the State. The wells should be put down to a depth of from 2,500 to 3,000 feet, deep enough to show the possibilities of the territory in the way of ga?, oil or coal. "There Is undoubtedly more oil and gas in Indiana than Is now being developed. The present fields have been discovered solely through private enterprise, and private enterprise has conducted experiments in other parts of the State, but these experiments have not been as thorough as they would be if conducted by the State. The sum of $50.000 is not a large one to be soent in such a way, considering the possible developments in the State that might follow. I do not know what the members of the Legislature would think of the proposition, but I hope some one will introduce such a bill and try to get it through." Mr. McCulloch says that the manufacturers of Marion have not been forced to resort to coal for fuel as yet. and have con sequently not considered the step taken by the manufacturers of Anderson and Muncie in securing a tract of coal land In the southern part of the State. "We have opened a new gas territory' he said, "that is producing good gas wells, and I believe that we are not threatened with a gas famine for a year or two." Mr. McCulloch and his partner, J. wood "Wilson, have large oil interests in addition to three glass factories and at present nave 107 producing wells. Recently they sold 50,000 barrels of oil at 98 cents, and the price is now 11.07. "We would have done well to hold It," said Mr. McCulloch, but we are well satisfied. We held It from the time oil was quoted at 76 and 78, so you see we did fairly well. I now believe that the price will go at least to 11.25. and we are waiting for that price." Besieged by Candidates. Representative Hume, of Hendricks county, tasted of the delights of popularity last night. He came to the city to see about engaging quarters during the approaching session, but he had no sooner appeared in the lobby of the Denison than he was surrounded by candidates for speaker. Hume has not as yet committed himself on the speakership question, but if he did not climb Into a bandwagon last night it was not because he was not given abundant opportunity. Candidates Sayre, Marshall and Morgan all had an Inning with him and then the three surrounded him. He received invitations to dinner and to the theater, and was fairly besieged with all sorts of attentions. In the end he still maintained that he was noncommittal on the speakership and said that he would not declare for any of the candidates until he had given the matter further consideration. ii Dinner for J a dare linker.

Frank Doran, of Laporte, who was a candidate for auditor of state before the last Republican state convention, was among the prominent party men who "just happened to drop in" last night. Senator A. D. Ogborn, of New Castle, arrived in the city last evening, but he stayed within the Columbia Club all evening and did not take chances with the night air and his slight attack of tonsilltls. "Are you going for me or are you going for me?" was the question Warren Sayre put to a representative last night. In the first half he emphasized "going" and In the last he put the stress on the "for." A. W. Wlshard. solicitor of the Internal Revenue Department at Washington, Is home to spend the holiday vacation. He says that Senator Fairbanks will not return to Indianapolis until a few days before the Republican caucus at the opening of the Legislature. The Marlon county representatives will hold a meeting some time this week to talk over the legislation affecting this county that Is anticipated at the approaching session. Incidentally Rooth Tarklngton will be given an opportunity in this meeting to get In touch with the political developments of the last few weeks. He has been out of the city a great deal of the time since the election. "We of Grant -'county and the Eleventh district are getting up on our toes, ready to make a running start when Shldeler gives us the signal," said Senator Lyons, of Falrmount, last night.- "We all expect him to be a candidate for Governor and we'll do some tall hustling when he says the word." Mr. Shldeler id ras elf declined

to make any statement other than that he- is considering the matter. DEATHS OF A DAY.

Total Loss Estimated at $340,000, with 9251,000 Iniorance. KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. .-Fire broke out at 1:30 o'clock this morning in a four-story building on Commerce avenue, directly opposite the Central fire station, and occupied by the Knoxville Pants Company. In two hours time buildings adjoining it on Commerce avenue, occupied by Broiles, McClellan & Lackey, agricultural implement dealers; the L. David Commission Company, the George Brown Hardware Company, on Gay street; Shanklin Grain Company and the R. II. Cate & Co., on the same street, had been gutted. The losses as officially estimated to-day aggregated $340.000. with $251,460 Insurance. The heaviest loser was the George Brown Hardware Company stock, $150,0u0. The fire was a very spectacular one, and attracted a crowd numbering into thousands.

Brush, owner of the New York National League club, arrived home yesterday. He immediately took up the business at his store and seemed to be completely oblivious to baseball matters. This does not mean, however, that he is not paying strict attention to all that is going on and is net conversant with the talk concerning the probable peace settlement between the National and American leagues. On the question of the settlement Mr. Brush has nothing to say for publication. A story was recently sent out from New York quoting. Mr. Brush as saying that he would rent Manhattan Field, which adjoins the Polo grounds, the home of the National League, to the American League for $15,000 a year. Many papers have commented on the statement and the fact that Mr. Johneon has declared that he would not accept Manhattan Field for the American League grounds In New York. Papers that have taken up the subject failed to allow for a misstatement or at least one that was badly distorted. The truth of the matter as related by Mr. Brush last night is as follows: "I was approached in New York by newspaper men and told that James A. Hart, of the Chicago National League club, had stated that the American League could have the Chicago club's interest in Manhattan Field. "I then made the statement that If there were enough club owners of the National League who thought as Mr. Hart did it was probable that Mr. Johnson might secure Manhattan Field." The answer of Mr. Brush was changed to suit the newspaper correspondent until it read that he was willing and had offered to rent Manhattan Field to the American League. Those who know Mr. Brush should realize that this was farthest from his intention or thought, as he well knew that there were npt enough men in the National League who would agree with Hart to, allow Johnson to have Manhattan Field. Mr. Brush is tired of stating that he does not believe that the American League has secured grounds in New York. In discussing the matter last night he said: "It has been published and stated 'on good authority' that the American League has options on several sites in New York. But there seems to be an if connected with every site proposed. I fail to see the necessity of keeping the matter a secret so long. If the American League is going to enter New York and has secured grounds as claimed the public might want to know Just where the grounds are located. Take all the alleged options for sites and figure the 'ifs' and you will see that about the only place left is a roof garden." 1 It is quite evident that Mr. Brush docs not believe the American League has secured a site In New York, notwithstanding the reports that everything has been arranged for grounds in the metropolis. He should know, as he Is In close touch with affairs In New York. Regarding the coming conference of the joint committees of the National and American leagues Mr. Brush would make no statement and would not discuss what might come up or what the probable settlement would be. It is known that he is a strong advocate of a twelve-club circuit and is more conversant with baseball history and prospects than any man In the country, yet he has nothing to say regarding the matter and the fact that tho American League people seem to desire to have everything their own way In the settlement. Johnson has said that there cannot be a twelve-club circuit, and it Is believed that his league will make no concessions, but will expect the National to do all the conceding In order to obtain peace. JESSE LEWIS0HN PAROLED. "Witness Who Refused to Answer Questions in Gambling Case. NEW YORK, Dec 22. Jesse Lewisohn was arraigned before Justice Wyatt to-day, charged with being guilty of a misdemeanor as a contumacious witness. The hearing on this charge went over until the third Monday In January. Lewisohn is also held on a warrant charging him with contempt of court for refusing to answer questions to-day. Subsequently a writ of habeas corpus was applied for and granted by JusWednesday on the understanding that Mr Lauterbach serve a writ of certiorari on Mr. Jerome to have the whole argument on that day. Lewisohn was then paroled in the custody of his counsel. Lewisohn is a witness in the case against Canfleld and others suspected of running a gambling house. Another Operation by Lorens. NEW YORK.

AMERICAN BALL LEAGUE

'SPECIAL MEETING - PRESIDED OVER BY DAX JOHNSON. Peace Committee Appointed to Attend the Conference with National League Ileprenentntl ve. CHICAGO, Dec. 22. By juggling the constitution of the American League, the annual meeting of that organization held here to-day was made a "special" meeting, and it was decided to hold the annual meeting in New York some time during the month of January. The principal business transacted to-day was the appointment of a committee to meet the National League ,at Cincinnati on Jan. 5 to confer on peace terms between the two baseball organizations. The question was qukkly disposed of, however, by the adoption of a resolution giving President Johnson absolute power to appoint his own committee or be the sole representative of the League at the joint meeting with full power to act for the American League. President Johnson thought it would be the better plan to have a committee meet the National League at the conference and so decided. The committee appointed is composed of President Johnson, Charles Comlskey, of Chicago; Henry Killilea, of Boston, and Charles Somers, of Cleveland. Mr. Johnson, In explaining the reason for naming a fourth committeeman, when the general understanding was that the committee should be composed of but three of the American Lague magnates, said there was no limit to the number that could be appointed and that he had appointed Mr. Killilea as the fourth member because of his knowledge of law. No action was taken in regard to the placing of a team in Pittsburg. C. J. Pedder and F. F. Eagle, representing the Pittsburg syndicate, attended the meeting to present their claims. Mr. Somers, of Cleveland, who acted as sponsor for Pedder and Eagle, presented a statement to the magnates of the offer of the Plttsburgers who are after the club. This proposition Included the sale of the Detroit franchise. S. M. Angus, president of the Detroit club, however, refused to part with his club at least unless he could recover all which he has spent on it and no offers to the present time, he says, will cover what he asks. "I have my price," said Mr. Angus, "but I figure that It will haw to be at least $75,000 to cover my expenses since I took hold of the club. If I can get $loo,uw, 1 migni consider it, but so far that Is much more than I have been offered." When seen after the meeting, Pedder and Eagle said they were not discouraged by any means and were still confident that an American League team would be seen in Pittsburg next year. The report that Tom Loftus, of Washington, was to go to New York to have charge of the American League team In the latter city was denied by President Postal, of Washington. IIUNCIE'S EASY VICTORY.

How the Department Divides Them Compensation of the Postmasters. Washington Star. "It is quite surprising the number of let ters the Postofflce Department will receive during the course of a year from all sec tions or the country making inquiry as to the different classes of postoffices; what they are, how they are advanced from class to class, the salaries and compensations of postmasters in the different grades and the process of 'relegating' presidential postoffices back to the forth class and other queries along this line," said an old postoffice inspector recently. "It is possible to give this Information in a succinct and comprehensive form. While there are three classes of presidential postoffices, the department In the preparation of its appointment papers divides all postoffices into but two classes presidential and fourth class. "A presidential office is an office where the ealary of the postmaster amounts to not less than $250 per quarter for four consecutive quarters, and the gross receipts for the same time amount to $1,900. When an office has paid the above amount for four consecutive quarters and the gross receipts have amounted to $1,900 or more it is then advanced to the presidential class. "A first-class presidential office Is one In which the gross receipts are over $10,000 per annum, the salary of the postmaster of the same being from $3,000 to $6.000. A second-class office is one where the gross re ceipts amount to $3,000 and not exceeding $40,000 per annum, the salary of the postmaster of this class being from $2.000 to $2,900 per annum. A third-class office Is one where the gross receipts are $1,900 and not exceeding $3.000 per annum, the salary of the postmaster being from $1,000 to $1.900 per annum. "Fourth-class postoffices comprise all of fices where the receipts are less than $1,900 per annum, or where' the compensation of the postmaster does not amount to $250 per quarter for four consecutive quarters. "Fourth-class postmasters are allowed as compensation the whole of the box rents collected at their offices and commissions on cancellations of matter actually mailed at their offices and on amounts received from waste paper, etc., sold, as follows: On the first $50 or less per quarter, 100 per cent.: on the next $100 or less per quarter, 60 per cent.; on the next $200 or less per quarter, 50 per cent., and on all the balance, 40 per cent., the same to be ascertained and allowed by the auditor for the Postoffice Department in the settlement of the accounts. "When a presidential postoffice fails to come up to the minimum standard under the rules It is "relegated to the fourth class, the postmaster's regular salary ceas ing and his official Income becoming dependent upon his commissions. Thus, seven presidential postoffices were relegated to the fourth class this past year, while thir-ty-seven fourth-class postoffices were ad vanced to the presidential class." i HAVE HAD A LIGHT. Changed Democratic Attitude on Philippine Question. Washington Letter In Philadelphia Press. Observant members remarked to-day upon the great change which has come over Congress in its attitude toward the Philippine question and especially the position of the Democracy. With debate lasting a little more than two hours to-day the House passed a bill affecting the tariff and economic conditions of twenty millions or people. Two years ago such a measure would have been debated for a week and the Democrats of the House would have summoned all of their oratorical talent to the contest of the talkers. "To-day's Incident simply means," said a member of the ways and means committee, "that the Democrats realize the sentiment of the country toward the Philippines is fixed and crystallized and that It is useless for politicians In Congress to attempt to change iL We all remember the great furor raised by the Democrats in the Senate toward the close of the last session upon the alleged outrages by the army in the Philippines. The Democrats thought they had great political capital and that they were going into the campaign and annihilate the Republicans with a wave of popular indignation. "The fact was, the country had Its mind made up upon the Philippine question: It supported the administration and Indorsed the army, and was too busy to listen to political discussions upon a subject already decided in its mind. "The Democrats coming back this winter seem to appreciate that fact. They knew the proper way to proceed in the Philippines was to do as we had done with the Porto Rlcans provide a revenue from customs receipts until the islands can get on their feet." A very pointed" Incident In illustration of the foregoing contention was furnished this afternoon. Mr. Richardson, the Democratic leader, offered a free trade amendment to the bill. "I will only say, Mr. Speaker.- "he remarked, "that my amendment Is In the line of justice and ought to be passed." "And I will only say." replied Mr. Payne, the Republican leader, "that the amendment would cost the Philippine government $1,500,000 In revenue and they cannot afford it." And with that a vote was taken and Mr. Richardson's amendment. was lost. A Turn-Down. New York Evening PosL "After all, a 'turn-down with Just a tinge of the literary flavor loses much of Its depressing effect," said the Interviewer at luncheon with a friend in a Broadway restaurant the other day. "Explain," suggested the friend over his wedge of pumpkin pie. "It occurred In a large office building not very far from this place of refreshmenf," said the Interviewer. "I had gone there to talk to a man about some important undertaking In which he was interested. Somewhat to my surprise he seemed to feel resentful at the attitude of the newspaper which had dispatched me on my mission. He was perfectly civil, mark you. But he turned to his desk telephone and I sat listening. Heilo,' he said. 'Give me President Smith's office. Hello! Is that you, Tom? Yes: this is Henrj I simply wanted to warn you that the Hound of the Baskervllles is loose upon our trail.-He's sitting beside me now representing So-and-so. Bar the door when he comes up to your office In the elevator, will you? Yes. Good-bye.' "Then." said the Interviewer, "the man turned to me with outstretched hand and a courteous smile. 'Nothing personal, he said. 'But I had to do it " "Did you go upstairs?" asked the friend. "The reward of the man who seeks to force the Sphinx to speak is mockery." repiled the Interviewer sagely. Sir. Jerome Gives Notice. Nebraska State Journal. As he begins his fight against the aristocratic gambling dens of the great metropolis Prosecuting Attorney Jerome takes the precaution to say that, while he doesn't object to ordinary personal criticism of his official acts, any newspaper that comes to the rescue of the gamblers by charging him with dishonesty or fraud will be criminally prosecuted and the managing editor promptly arrested.

Never shall I forget the delicate pink blossoms of trailing arbutus 1 once time found Mushing beside a huge snowbank on the 7th day of January. Then and there was a calendar date established which shall stand forth conspicuously while life shall be. Always there are sturdy mosses, ferns and evergreens to bo found and gathered. During the January thaw you may even go buttcrllj'-hunting, for on an exceptionally warm day you will sometimes find dozens of yejlow-edged butterflies, Antlopa, fluttering in a sunny spot. The snow-flea Is another queer little Insect sometimes to be found in great numbers. Walking through timber. It may chance you will find a nia:ber of dead bees about the foot of a big tree. Search its trunk and larger branchc. with the- aid of your opera glasses. Somewhere above is the hole from which they have come, for fortune has led you to a bee tree, and the;e are the hapless ones who have succumbed to the winter and been cast forth. Sprinkle Ashes. Philadelphia Record. Several men were talking about their experiences during the recent storm of snow and sleet, and of the thoughtfulncss of those persons who attempted to facilitate wälking by sprinkling some foreign substance on the pavements in front of their houses. "That's all right if it is done with some understanding." said R. M. Pancoast, a Camden civil engineer. "But don't. I beg of you. sprinkle sawdust under the impression that you are granting a boon to the pedestrian. The spongy particles of sawdust simply become nuclei to raised ice crystals which are crushed and loosened up under foot for more perilous slipping. Ashes and sand make better footing al-waj-s. Sand doesn't track indoors, and is consequently cleaner, but ashes arc beUf r. To use the ashes from the cellar furnace Instead of buj'ing sawdust for the icy pavement is to save both money and bones." Worse Than March Fourth. Philadelphia Record. A change In the date of the President' inauguration has been urged for many years for climatic reasons. The Sflth of April has often been proposed on historical grounds, but the purpose of the chango was to have the pageantry of an inauguration at a time when it was comfortable to march in a procession, or to sit on a grand stand and see it go by. But Representative Parker, of New Jersey, has proposed Jan. 1 instead of March 4. That would bring the inauguration nearer to the election, but Washington Is not far enough South to make New Year's day a convenient date for sight-seeing. Mercy to Animals. Butte Miner. . The official organ of the German butchers In Berlin has invited the members of the Society for the Prevention of. Cruelty to Animals to partake of a horse meat banquet in order to show those soft-hearted people that it is really a mercy to animals not fit to work to be dished up as a roast or ragout. If the scheme of the publishers' organ succeeds it will open up a wide range for the bands of mercy, and no doubt stray dogs and homeless cats will be shortly added to the general bill of fare.
