The Word “Trafficking.” as the New Law
Defines It—The Tax on Beer Bottlers.
The Employment of Former Con-
victs to Be Prohibited. I
Albany, April 13.——The amendments to
the Raines liquor tax law, which have»
been adopted by the Republican sena-
tors in caucus and thereby made a par-
ty measure, and which will be passed
without change by both branches of the
legislature during the week, have been
printed and are practically for the first
time in the hands of the.publi_c. While
statements of a. general character about
the amendments have been given out
by the legislators having the measure
in charge,
them discloses some amendments
which, while not of vital importance,
are nevertheless interesting.
The main idea in the promulgation
of the amendments was for the aboli-
tion of “fake" 'clubs antijiotels. To ac-
complish this all clubs are taxed in the
following language: _
“Trafficking in liquors within, the
meaning of this act is the distribution
of liquor by or between or. on behalf
of members of a corporation, associa-
tion or co-partnership to a member
thereof, or to others, in quantities less
than five gallons.”
Another amendment relating to clubs,
which is 52 pages away from the above‘
in the printed bill, exempts all clubs or-
ganized before March 23, 1896—the time
when the original Raines law passed—
from the prohibitions of the lbw rela-
tive to the sale of liquor after hours,
on Sunday, election days, and within 200
yards of a fair. And still another
amendment prohibits special agents
from entering clubs organized before
March 23, 1896, except as expressly di-
rected by the state excise commission-
er. Any club, therefore,‘organized after
that time and taking out a liquor tax
license is subject to the same provi-
sions of law as are saloons.
To \Vipe Out “Fake” Hotels.
The amendments intending to wipe
out “fake” hotels first provide that they
shall comply with the law, ordinances,
rules and regulations of the building,

Omaha Says It Is a Balloon, but Chicago
' Is Skeptical.
Omaha, April- 12.——The airship which.
has caused such a sensation in Omaha.
is now declared to be a balloon, and the
men who sent it up are said to be Roy
Arnold and Jack Rogers. They are prac-
tical jokers, and they bought an enor-
mous balloon to send up on April 1, but
it rained that night, so they held it off
fora later day. '
On last Monday night they took the
balloon and went over in the hollow
back of the state institute for the deaf,
where they inflated it and sent it up.
Suspended from the balloon was a.
Wicker basket filled with a composition
resembling shavings, which they touch-
ed off just as it ascended, and this was
The balloon struck a. current
of air that carried it over the cen-
tral part of the city, and Arnold says
that when they came back on the car
everybody was talking of the airship,
and all were excited.
Its strange course on the theory 0f strik-
ing different currents of air.
As Chicago Sees It.
Chicago, April 12.—Chicago’s alleged
airship is believed to be a. myth in spite
of the fact that a great many persons
say that they have seen the mysterious
night- wanderer. A crowd gazed at
strange lights from the top of a'down
town skyscraper last night and Evans-
ton students declare they saw the sway-
ing red and green lights. There is a
young man in Evanston named Arthur
Harbert, who is an enthusiast in aerial
navigation. It is believed he has been
trying exper‘ments with kites, to which
electric light bulbs were attached and
connected with a. battery by slender
wire. That would explain the colored
lights.
TUEK AND GREEK.
King George’s Government Still Prepar-
ing Its Reply to the Powers.
Athens, April 12.—The Greek govern-
ment is stil preparing its reply to the
note of the powers delivered April 4 an-
nouncing that in case of an armed con—
flict on the Greco—Turkish frontier all
responsibility will rest with the aggres-
sors and adding that the latter will not
be allowed to reap the slightest benefit
from their action.
Eight thousand troops have just start-
ed for the frontier. Official news has
been received of outrages committed on
‘the Greeks of Smyrna by sailors con-
nected with the French warships. No
blockade has been declared as yet.
A report has bet". received to the efe
feet that the insuigents have occupied
above the basement, exclusive of those lBaltino, besieging SOO-Turks in the bar-
occupied by the family of the proprie-
tor, separated by partitions. at least
three inches thick, extending from floor
to ceiling, with independent access to -
each room by a door opening into a
hallway; each room having a window
with not less than eight square feet of
surface, opening upon a street, open
court or light shaft; having at least
80 square feet area with 600 cubic feet
of space therein; having a dining room
with at least 300 square feet area, which
shall not be a part of the .barroom, for
the accommodation of 20 guests; a
kitchen and conveniences for cooking
bona fide meals for at last 20 guests. A
guest is defined as a person who occu-
pies a room in good faith and pays reg-
ular customary charges for such occu-
pancy, but who does not occupy the
room for the purpose of having liquor
served therein; or a person who, during
the hours when meals are served, re-
sorts to the hotel for the purpose of ob-
taining and actually orders in good
faith a. meal. -
The amendments fixing new taxes for
certain kinds of licenses are: For phar-
macists to dispose of spirituous liquor
on prescriptions only, $5, uniform
throughout the state; for persons en—
gaged in bottling malted liquors to sell
in quantities of less than five gallons,
but not less than three gallons (24 pint
bottles), $100 for every wagon used in
delivering such goods. This is also a.
uniform tax throughout the state. For
trafficking in alcohol between the hours
of 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. for mechanical
purposes, $25 in New ,York city, $20 in
Brooklyn, 315 in Buffalo and cities of
the second class; $10 in other cities, and
$5 in any othenplace.
A very important amendment leaves
the tax in the various localities to be
consolidated into Greater New York
the same as it now is.
The excise’commissioner is authorized
to take an enumeration of the popula-
tion of an;r hamlet or unincorporated
village when there is a doubt as to the
amount of excise tax to be assessed.
, Expenses of Commissioners.
In addition to receiving a salary of
$5,000, the excise commissioner is 'given
$1,800 a year for expenses; the deputy
commissioner, with a salary of $4,000,
gets $1,500 a. year for expenses. The
salary of the special deputy for Eric
coun y is increased from $2,000 to $3,000.
Th special attorneys appointed to as-
sist special agents in prosecuting Vio-
lations shall be paid by the county or
city in Whose behalf such prosecutions
are made.
The sale of liquor is prohibited in the
same building wherein are dry goods,
groceries, prOvisions, etc" unless the
barroom is separated from the rest of
the building byapartition3 inches thick
extending from floor to ceiling without
an opening, so that it will be necessary
to go into a. public street before the one
place can be entered upon leaving the
other.
A person forfeits his tax certificate
and violates the law if he has “know-
ingly” in his employ a. person who has
been convicted Of a felony.
So called private rooms are prohibit-
ed in barrooms.
The sale of liquor is prohibited not
only to a minor, but also to a minor for
any other person. ,
An all night license is granted for a.
tax of ,$10 extra. 2. night when permis—
sion is obtained for such a license from
the mayor and chief of police of any
city in the-first, second and third classes.
Selling of liquor on cemeterypremises
is prohibited, as also is selling from any
vehicle except a bottler’s wagon and

of the Seine has adopted resolutions de—
manding that the Cretans be consulted
as to the political regime desired by

darmes.
ENGLAND IS FIRM.
She Proposes to Suppress the Troubles In
. South Africa.
London, April 12.-—At a farewell ban-
quet yesterday, tendered Sir Alfred Mil—
ner by the.members of the board of in-
land revenue, Mr. George J. Goschen,
first lord of the admiralty, referring to
the presence of the British marines and
blue jackets now in South Africa, said:
"They are there to represent to Sir
Alfred Milner, the British power in
South Africa, that they are the guarantee
to him and our colonists—the loyal men
who support the British rule in that
country——that this country is determin-
ed to maintain its supremacy in those
quarters and back its high commission-
er with the power of the British em-
pire.” .
Sir Evelyn Wood expressed his sat-
isfaction with the statements which he ,
had heard and declared that “England
means to be firm in the suppression of
troubles in South Africa.”
lIIill Owners .Disagree.
Springfield, Mass, April 12.—There is
consternation at Warren over the an~
nouncement of the closing (if the War-
ren..cotton mills. Every employee has
been told_to look for, work elsewhere.
The New England Methodist conference
in session in Lowell has been notified
not to send any pastor to West War-
ren. It is generally supposed that there
is some difficulty among the owners of
the mills which can only be adjusted
by such radical measures.
Died of Exposure.
Troy, N. Y., April 12.——William H.
Bussell, one of the oldest members of
the North family of Shakers, was found
dead in a field about two miles west of
the settlement yesterday. From the
surroundings it would seem that the old
man, in attempting to get between the
strands of a barbed wire fence, had
caug t his-foot, and, unable to relieve
himself, remained to die of exposure.
London Church Scandal.
London, April 12.7—The Daily Chron-
icle is‘reviving the scandal of the im-
mense incomes of the city churches
which are practically without congre-
gations. It publishes a letter giving
startling figures and showing the vicars
live far distant from the churches, and
they have nothing whatever to do ex—
cept spend their immense stipends.
