SUFFRAGETTE WALTZ
That's the Latest Fad Among
The Young People of This City.
WOMEN DO THE LEADING
Hard luck to the young fellows who have been spending all these sheckles to take their fair friends to dances. No more are they to "lead" and do the propelling stunt. The new suffragette waltz puts the youth a back number and henceforth the damsel is to be It. Just as might be expected from the name, the woman is the real thing. The woman is given the lead part and the man glides about the floor in his proper place. It is the latest whim of the ball room and maybe they will be trying it out at Jackson park this summer.
Gus Nohe, the Chicago bucket shop broker, for whom Omar Murray of this city was an agent, has been branded as a grafter. A prominent broker of Chicago alleges that the various Chicago bucket shop agencies of Nohe paid as high as $200 a week, each, for protection, and that the police were associated with Nohe in his dealings. It is now probable that a grand jury investigation will be made of the business. A Chicago account says in part: Developments calling either for police action aainst the bucket-shops of
Chicago, or a grand jury investigation.
into the police department itself came
yesterday in the scandal stirred up last
week by the sensational "failure" of
Fire Escape Gus" Nohe. ' Shippy's Statement. Chief of Police Shippy, who has thus
far failed to act in the fact of charges of a serious character that have
been made against members of . his staff, is reported to have said that he would raid the bucket-shops if It were
shown that there are any of them in
Chicago. In answer to this statement officials of the board of trade yester-
dav beean the preparation of a list of
the men known to be out-and-out buck
et-shop workers who are now engaged
in that "business" in the city. As a matter of fact, however, it de
veloned that Chief Shippy would not
have to go outside his own department to find out whether or not the men
whose names have been mentioned in
connection with the Nohe disclosures
are bucket-shop operators. All of them have police records. Several of them have been indicted, several have
admitted under oath that they run
bucket-shops, and all of Ahem have at one time or other been raided by the
police. Inside Story Bared.
More startling than all this, however,
is the statement made yesterday by
broker to a reporter in the presence of
witnesses, disclosing the complete in
side story of "Gus" Nohe's operations
in Chicago. This statement, taken in connection with admissions made by
other brokers, shows that Nohe's col
lections from the Chicago bucket-shop operators during two years past will mount up to a sum much larger than any that has yet been mentioned in
connection with the scandal.
The bucket-shops were one of the biggest grafts in the city. Even the smallest of them gave up from $50 to
$200 a week for police protection,
Some of them paid much larger sums.
Practically all of this graft was paid in
checks, so that it is easily susceptible of proof.

"It was once in my power to have shot General Washington," said a British soldier to an American as they were discussing the events of the great straggle after peace had come. "Why did you not shoot him, then?" asked the American. "You ought to have done so for the benefit of your countrymen." "The death of Washington would not have been tor their benefit," replied the Englishman. "We depended upon him to use our prisoners kindly, and we'd sooner have shot an officer of our own!"

Washington, April 1. Sugar is the
next household necessity upon which
an onslaught is to be made in con
gress in connection with the revision
of the tariff. .
The duty of eight cents a pound on
tea, which was written into the Payne
bill by the committee on ways and
means, will be blotted out by the time
the measure passes congress. ;
The countervailing duty on coffee, equivalent to any export duty that is levied by countries from which it is
shipped, is also doomed to elimina
tion. Plan Big Fight.
Now plans are being made for a terrific fight on sugar, which is the sta
ple article on every breakfast table in
the land. The present impost on sug
ar is 1.95 cents a pound, and the Payne
bill reduces it to 1.91 cents a pound,
which has been regarded as a joke
from the beginning.
Between three and a half and four
billion pounds of sugar are Imported
into the United States annually, which indicates that a handsome revenue ia
collected upon this article by the fed
eral government.
The standard argument used in behalf of the duty has been" that it affords protection for the cane sugar
growers of Louisiana and also the
new beet sugar industry of the West
ern states. Makes Consumer Pay Up.
It happens, however, that the prac
tical effect of the duty has been to -make the American consumer pay
nearly two cents a pound more for
sugar than is paid In Great Britain and in countries on the continent of
Europe.
Another result has been that the
sugar trust, so called, has been mak
ing - money so fast that it scarcely
knows what to do with the surplus
after its fat dividends are paid.
The attack on the sugar schedule
will come from more than one direc
tion. One source of opposition will be
the consumers, who having been stir
red up over the proposed tax on tea and the countervailing duty on coffee, have come to the conclusion that sugar also should be made as cheap as possible. Those senators and representatives from , states which think their industries have not been properly conserved in the revision bill intend to make a raid on sugar, in the hope jf forcing a reduction proportionate to that proposed on products in which their constituents are interested." For instance, the lawmakers from the coal, lumber, hide and cotton states are planning to force the sugar duty down in retaliation for what they claim has been a lack of proper consideration for them. Cannot Show Kindness. There is still another ground upon which the sugar schedule will be assailed, and that is that the republican party cannot afford to show such kindly consideration for a combination which practically controls one of the commonest necessities of life. In this connection there is already some tart criticism of the ways and means committee and also of the Finance committee, which evidently proposes to do ; nothing more to the sugar schedule than has already been done by the house committee. .
This from Austria: "A woman of Belgrade sent her last year's hat to Vienna for reconstruction, and got back a model of strange hue and shape which baffled all the local milliners' envious efforts at imitation. It has now been ascertained that the police at Vienna mistook the parcel for a Servian bomb, and after subjecting it to various tests including immersion in water, returned it unopened."

Complaint . is made . against the abuse of their privileges by the bill passers. The city has been flooded by bills of all kinds within the last two weeks and it is the custom of those engaged in passing them to walk across the lawns, There are but few intersecting - fences in the- city and the bill passers take advantage of this opportunity to walk across lawns from one house to the next, and never have recourse to the steps. Some beautiful , lawns have been spoiled by; a path clear across the front. The city ' ordinance in regard to bill passers is not being enforced. The housewives are loud in their complaints.. The mail carriers set the bill passers a good example. The
servants or uncle Sam are accus
tomed to use the steps leading to each
house and not take advantage of short
cuts. , . . -.
