8 THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: APRIL 18, 1895. 1. Oil'S Bj FILED. Grounds Upon Wbicb tba Attorney- General Asks a Rehearing on the Income Tax. PRINCIPLES TOO IMPORTANT. = They Will Decide Whether or Not 11 Country Mu»t Ilrfuml Income Tax Money Levied Under Other Lain. Washington, Aprfl 17.—Attorney Gen eral OIney today filed In the supreme court of the United State# a brief 1 upcm the petition for a rehearing of the In come tax onsee. It was not expected at the department of Justice or at the court that the government wouj"!! respond to the notice by Mr. Guthrie of the Intention of counsel to ask a rehearing, and some surprise was expressed at the appearan«« of the document. The attorney general's brief was ae follows: "The United States respectfu^y repre sents that, if a rehearing Is granted tt should cover all the legal and constitu tional questions Involved and not merely tihoee as to what the court are equally divided. **2. Whether a tax on incomes gener ally. Inclusive of rents and Interest or dividends from investments of all kinds, is or Is not a direct tax within the mean ing of the federal constitution, Is a mat ter upon which, as on the original ques tion, the government has really never been heard. Its position at the argument was that the question had been settled by an exposition of the constitution prac tically contemporaneous with Its adop tion—by a ttub*«HUvSt unbroken judicial precedents, by the concurring and repeated action of all the depart ments of the government and by the con sensus of ail text writers and authorities by whom the subject has heretofore been considered. "2. The Importance to the government of the new views of Us taxing power, an- trouned in the opinion of the chief Justice, can hardly be exaggerated. "First. Pushed to their logical conclu sion they practically exclude from the di rect operation of the power all the real estate of tlhe country and all Its Invested personal property. They exclude it, be cause If It Is realty and personalty they are taxable only by the rule o/ apportion ment, then the Inevitable qualities re sulting from such a plan of taxation are fo gross and flagrant as to absolutely de bar any resort to U. "That audn Inequalities must result ie practically admitted, the only suggestion In reply being that the power to directly tax reality and personalty was not meant for use as an ordinary every-day power; that Hhe United States was expected to rely for Its customary revenue upon Im ports, duties and excises, and that i‘ should Impose direct taxes only In extra ordinary emergencies and as a sort of dernier resort. "It is submitted that a construction of the constitution^, of such vital import' ance In itself and requiring In its sup port an imputation to its framers of a specific purpose, which nothing In the text of the constitution has any ten dency to reveal, cannot he too carefully considered before helng finally adopted. "Second. Though of minor consequence K is cor tally Foie van t to point out that if the now expositions of the constitution referred to Is to prevail tho United States has, under previous Income tax laws, cob looted vast sums of money which on ev ery principle of justice It ought to re fund and which it must be assumed that congress wtll deem Itself bound to make provision for refunding by appropriate legislation.'* TIHKD WOMEN. The Housewife, the Farmer and the Toll ers of All Vacations. Degression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is a fertile source of bJood impurities. That tired feeling, which Js tho natural result of the de pressing effect of warm weather imme diately after the invigorating cold of winter, quickly disappears when Pe-ru-na Is taken- Thousands are dartly testifying to It* priceless benefit. General lassitude, dull, heavy senaaitlons, continual tired feelings, with irregular Appetite ami sometimes loss of sleep. Pe-ru-na meets every Indication and proves itself to be perfeotty adapted to all their varied pe oulfarttiles. Pe-ru-na Invigorates the eye tern, rejuvenates the feeling*, restores the normal appetite hnd procures regular sleep. This tired-out feeling Is especially true of the housewife in spring lime—used up, fagged out, Jaded an1 weak. There are thousands of them everywhere. A few bottles of. Pe-ru-na would do them untold benefit. As atonic and nerve invlgorator it has no equal. It builds up the nerves, It gives strength to tho circulation and at once restores the appetite and digestion. No feeble woman should be without Pe-ru-na. A finely Illustrated pamphlet on Sprint Medicines sent free by the Pe-ru-na Drug Majiufajoturihg Company, Columbus, O.

Washington, April 17.—Louis Baker, United States minister to Osta Rica, Honduras and Nicaragua, reports to th-> department of state the re-organl- ration of the ministry of Nicaragua as follows: Foreign Affairs—(Manuel Coronel IMatus. Interior—Gen. Francisco Balladores Teran. War and Marine—Gen. Ruchen Alonzo. Finance—Santiago Caltejns. The Nlcraguan minister. Dr. Guz man. up to 2 p. m. today had received no additional Information from Nica ragua regarding the difficulties be tween his government and England. Nicaragua ztlll feels that the matter Is one which ought to be properly ar bitrated and her reply to Great Bri tain binds her to accept any conclusion which may be reached as a result of nrbltrktlon. Great Britain, on the oth er hnd, asserts that the expulsion of Mr. Hatch was In «l sense nil Insult to her majesty's gov-mment and will Insist upon the payment of 175.000 of "smart” money, although entirely sat isfied to leave any of the other points tn dispute to the decision of an arbitra tion tribunal. No belligerent news of any kind has reached the state or navy departments or the Nicaraguan minis ter. THE NEW COTTON PEST. I». Will Probably Not Thrive tn North ern Cotton Districts. Washington. April 17.—The depart ment of agriculture ha* sent an addi tional expert South tn InvMt'.gsrs the habits of the new cotton w»vvl, which las been Imported Into Texas from Mexico. Entomologist E A Schwarz has gone to San Antonio, Texas, to make a study of the bblts of the wee vil. It 1* a semi-tropical Insect, and although It mny thrive In the nower corner of Texas, which Is semi-tropi cal III character, tt !• believed that not many generations can survive the climate of the states north of Texas whegt cotton Is grown.

One thing so far discovered a that the Insect cannot tty very will north of the Mexican boundary, and 1-ft to Its own exer'.i>ns it might lot be a dangerous pest. The chief cause for alarm, however, an-’-w from the fact that the Insect nat been carried north In ut.ginned cotton, and attar reaching the cotton belt It la ab’.e to survive the climate.

Frledrichsruhe, April 17.—The morning opened clear and bright. Prince Bismarck arose earlier than usual and In good health and spirits. The visiting guilds arrived at noon in three special trains. The visitors, with bands of music and banners, met and formed In procession In the park un der the direction of Chief Forester Lange and marched to the veranda of the castle, where they were met by Prince Biemarck. Two beer booths were erected In the park. Herr Foster, on behalf of the Berlin guild of arti sans, addressed the ex-chancellor, who "I have In the last few weeks re ceived a great many ovations, but none of them was as unanimously representative as yours, in which all of the German trades and crafts are united. I also atn a craftsman nnd a hu-abandmen. We are all one large producing class, and must not allow ourselves to be disturbed by our oppo nents. I tried to legislate In favor of the trades, but the relchstag resisted arid tired me out. “I wished the trdeomnn, when he be came aged, to be fairly supcrnnuated like the sollder who has served out his time. It is the fault of green table bureuacraey that we cannot make the guilds obligatory, but we can make It to the advantage of all noti- organlzed tradesmen to Join the guilds. "X had hoped to base I he electorla! laws upon the organization of trades, guilds and crafts. If you organize you will effect a greatly different "relchstag from the one of today, which under the sway of Wludthorst 1« composed of a majority of the enemies of na tional unity. "Do not allow yourselves to be led by drones. You cannot get rid of drones as bees do, (Cheers) but you can otherwise defend your rights. "The military classes are armed onough to defend themselves, and you should orgnize for the same purpose.” The prince’s speech was received with tremendous cheering. FELL SIXTY FEET. Dean's Death Was Due to His Own Carelessness. Pittsburg, Pa., April 17.—William Dean », is Instantly killed and John Reef and Harry Goshen were seriously Injured in a peculiar elevator accident In the new Arrot building this morn ing. George Bnllman, the Pittsburg manager for the Crane Eleva tor Company, was testtug the ele vator, and, together with John Reef, who was running the carriage, went up to tile seventh floor. Dean, who was a plasterer, ran a board across the elevator opening to finteh some of his work. He evidently knew nothing of the elevator being over him. When the carriage started down a scream was heard, "Stop! Stop!” The next Instant the elevator struck the board that Dean had been stand ing on finishing his work in the hatch. Dean was thrown Into the cel lar of the building, a distance of some sixty feet. Ill* lifeless body struck Harry Goshen, who was working in the cellar, nnd It Is feared that Goshen also may be fatally Injured. Reef, the elevator man, was injured by Jumping out of the carriage. Mr. Ballman, manager of the Crane Elevator Com pany, said tho accident was due en tirely to Dean's careletwiz-ss. Dean's neck was broken and Ills skull ersuhed In the fall. tm'tuiuut imjb ua lor (he New Whisky Trust Officers CALLED MAYER A LIAR. Damage Suit* of All Kins* Filed against the New Directors—lie Says (hi Talk of Prosperity Is th. Blow of Jobbers, ENGLISH COMMENT. London, April 17.—In an article com menting on the situation of the dispute between England and Nicaragua the St. James Gazette accuse* the Ameri can newspaper* of wonderful igno rance of diplomacy. The Monroe doo- trlne, tt says, has foe-n a doctrine for slxty-two years, yet (t has never been acted upon. Whenever Englnnd has any serious differences to settle with the republics of South America noth ing but settled International law will prevent her from settling them. ’The suggestion that England wants to bombard Greytown Is absurd. If Nica ragua has foolishly refused to pay the Indemnity demanded by England, with the knowledge of the United States, Great Britain will take such steps as the American government was perfectly aware of at the rime the demand was made. ALMOST THE LAST. Washington, April 17.—The pension office Is Informed of the death, at the age of 91, of one of the last remain ing pensioners of the war for Inde pendence. Her name was Mary Brown.

Creen- hut was removed from the presidency and directory of the Distilling and Cat tle Feeding cotnpiny at the annual meeting of the stockholders aifter re fusing to resign. S. M. Itlce of New York, is slated a* his successor. Contrary to predictions, Mr, Grcnhut wus at the meeting. He was the only one, however, of the old directors to face the new men i« control. The others had deserted their former chief who sat aloof from the other suck- holders, avlth hla son as a comp talon. Richard ;B. Hart*horno was elected chairman and would have been made a director hud he been willing to accept the position. Nearly .150,009 shares were represented, of which the minority— Grecnhut—continued only 11,019. Rcvigmitioua were read from the re maining directors excepting Mr. Green- hut, and were promptly accepted. Upon motion of Levy Mayer, Green-hut was asked to resign. This he declined to do and upon a motion to remove him. had his attorney state to the stockholders that It was not <n their power to do so. Notwithstanding tills a vote was laken I He was rnmoived under protest. He will carry the matter into the counts. The following d'reotoi’s were then elect ed: S. M. Rice, New York; .7, M. Hutton, Cincinnati; T. Di WenbworJa, New York; W. J. Moya-, Chicago; W, M, Schetftel, New York; J. M. Mott, Chi ago; Floyd E. JennDoa, New York. It was entered on record that Mr. Siheflol wia» elected to succeed Mr. Greer'.vut so as to simplify the litigation to loitow. Mr. Gireenu did not want tn read his report to his enemies but upon their insisting he read his :iuai rtipofi, Every motion was offered by Levy Moyer and voted for by everybody exof|pt Greonhur. At the time Mr. Mayer mas offering the resolution for the removal of Greenhut, the lalLi got tleu.an told Mr. .Mayor that ho was liar laud had run to the ewd of his rope but little attention was paid to this. Mr. Greenhut was removed tn tile charge that he was false to Ills trust and an enomy of the company of wh.V.;Il he wus president. Mr. Mayer had hardly concluded 'ids remarks when cot>ruble pnlterad and served him with a summon.* In a 6Ult for 350.000 for Blunder brought iby Mr. Greenhut. No tions were also served on the five mem bers of the rc-orgunlxotion committee, Receiver McNulta and Attorney Bijour, In suits for a Similar amount, all re turnable to Peoria on the flr*t Monday lit May, i When tlhe gentlemen summoned were spoken to in regard to the suits they laughed and Joked about them saying the.': the notion was too ridiculous and childish to deserve further.euamtvUi. The last act. of the stockholders wag to rescind the action, of the list on noil meeting In ordering the non-negotiating of the remainder of the 18,000,000 worth of bonds before provided ifor, and the new directors are now authorized to float them. The bonds to be now put or: the market amount to ower $4,000,000, The meeting then adjourned to May,'8,- 1SD5. Mr. Greenhut still talks with assurance. After the meeting he sold: •They scorned to have their own way this afternoon, but mark my word, the table* will be changed. I have no doubt of being exonerat' d and 1 know 1 cannot bo legally removed. "The meeting today was only a confab of Wall street Jobbers, and a* my re moval Is ISegal no acts of the new board will amount to anything with Scheftel casting an Illegal vote." The now directors will meet In Chicago at an early dale to elect officers. In h4e report, Mr. Greenhut said he had served the trust for eight years to the best of his ability; that the accusations made agwlnot him were malicious, false and untrue: that the errors which may have been made were made against hie Judgment and under his protest. He had not controlled the company, as claimed, but the director* had dona all that had been done; he, a* president, had no apolo gies to make and would soon brand the mnltcioua lies and slander promulgated against Trim. Mr. Greenhut sold the receiver bad found the bonks of the company In a sfmkchtt and honest condition; that this did not wu*t the reorganization committee and that experts were employed with In struction* to find Irrcwukirittes and to furnish sensations for the newspapers. Mr. Greenhut said he eouid refute everv Irregularity alleged by the experte. H< ■poke In Mtter terms of the breaking open of Ms safe and said he would pros ecute the offender* to the fullest extent of the tew. He then presented figures to show the poor financial condition of the company, saytng that the statement that McNulm Is running things smoothly Is untrue and absurd; that a green-horn could not posMMy do what experienced men found Impossible.
