SHIPPING VERY DIFFICULT GERMANS SNEER ATLUSITANIA Failed to Reach the Hourly Speed of the Big Liner DeutschlancJ. OTHER DIFFERENT VIEWS Big Offenders Escape While the Of ficers Watch for Small Technicalities. Washington, Sept. 17. Commis sioner of Internal Revenue) Capons has written a circular letter to all Internal revenue collectors and agents In which, while cautioning them not to "let up in a vigorous search" for violations of the law, ho criticises tho misjudged activity of Internal revenue employes in the field. He says "their disposition to make a record subjects their bureau to endless annoyances ap'd expense, .makes a perfect fiasco in the courts of their undue and hasty action in seizing distilleries, making unfound ed assessment's and practically con fiscating property of law-abiding citizens who are endeavoring to live under tho law In a business the whisky business in any of its forms always open to suspicion." Tho letter adds: "I navo on my desk the record of a case where three revenue agents or their employes Jiung around a registered distillery hoping to find som.e sign of omis sion on the part of the bookkeeper lor three weeks, while during that tlmo there wore live blockade (un lawful) distilleries in full operation -within seven miles of tho registered distillery. By the operation of the unlawful distilleries the govern ment was losing probably $300 a day as tax on tho whisky they wero pro ducing, whllo these rovenue agents wero sitting about for 'big game the registered distillery. "There are two distinct classes of offenses that is, sins of commission and sins of omission. I am as tounded to find recommendations for tho seizing of distilleries, tho upset ting of business enterprises, involv ing Investment of hundreds of thou sands of dollars, bccun.se somo clerk lias failed to properly keep some blank form prescribed by tho regu lations. Revenue agents and col lectors should proceed upon tho pro position guaranteed us by the consti tution, that all men are innocent un til proved guilty, and when they find minor Irregularities they should as 5umo tho attitude of advisers and counselors and, by vlrtuo of their experience in tho service, tell tho people who know less about It what is expected of them. On tho con trary, In too many Instances they hastily use these sins of omission as a basis for their own solf-gloriflca-tlbn and embarrass this bureau and tho entlro servlco by stupid seizures and assessments." IM-. Animals Arc Not Familiar with Cnrs and They Object to Traveling. Helena, Mont., Sept. 18. Next week will witness tho final ship ment of the solo re.nalnlng herd of buffalo In the United States to Can ada, Michael Pablo having disposed of tho Immense drove to the Cana dian government, which has pre pared a park for them near Calgary, N. W. T. The Initial shipment was made several months ago and the trains attracted not a little attention as they passed through Missoula, Helena and other cities. President Roosevelt made strenu ous efforts to secure the herd for the Yellowstone National Park, but congress seemed loath to make the necessary appropriation. The offi cials of the Smithsonian Institution were also alert In their efforts to get control of tho herd, but could not care for so large a number, and Pab lo accepted tho more fancy offer of the Canadian government. "The loading of the animals prom ises to be exciting," said Pablo. "There will be far more trouble this time than before, and heaven knows we had a tough tlmo then, for the animals had never seen a car or en gine before and It was with the greatest dldcuty wo got them loaded. "All of the outlaws will be in this lot, as they ran away tho time tho others wero rounded up, and they wero too far away to chase. This time they will havo to go and there will bo some long runs after them. They will bad loading, too, and they will certainly make It warm for the leaders when they are placed In the corrals at Ravalli. There will be 300 buffaloes In this shipment, not counting the calves, of which there aro a largo numbor." Tho Pablo herd has been forming for many years. The Jones herd of Kansas was split, a few being sent to tho Yellowstone Park and tho balance to Ravalli, where they havo ranged for years on the Flathead reservation and, being unmolested, havo multiplied rapidly. Whether tho animals will be able to withstand tho rigors of a Canadian winter Ms doubted by many, although the Flat head Is a warm, protected valley abounding in rich feed. Believes Turbine Ship Mny Tako the Blue Ribbon to England. Berlin, Sept. 18.-Public attention Is centered upon the reports of the steamship Lusltania's performance, press comments generally reflecting the elation felt because the laurels of the transatlantic speed records still belong to the Germans. Ine build ing of English turbine boats has ueen regarded here all along as a measure aimed .expressly at the'lr German rivals. The Lusltania's Inability to lower the Deutschland's average speed record is considered a sign , that the blue ribbon will re main here Indefinitely. The officials of the German steamship companies, however, are less Jubilant. "The Lusitania failed to break the average speed record," said an official of one German line this morning. "But this trial Is not conclusive. Nobody can tell what she will do later. It Is still possible for her to capture the prize, and the Germans will then be obliged to make heroic efforts to retake su premacy. Possibly we must consider tho advisability of following the British example and adopting tur bines." Hamburg, Sept. 14. German marine critics here say that although It has been asserted that there was no intention to drive the Lusitania during her first trip, there can be no doubt that the great hopes placed upon her performance were unreal ised. They also say that It was not really her maiden voyage, because she had been on trial trips for more than a month, Had made a voyage to Gibraltar and return, and had sailed approximately 3000 miles be fore she started for New York. She was expected to make twenty-four and a half to twenty-five knots, but it Is scarcely believed likely she will be able to attain the hoped-for speed.

The govern ment Inspector was here somo time since and satisfied himself that all conditions wero compiled with, but tho license is yet lingering some where around whero tho red tape takes precedence. Norfolk, Sept. 18. Judge Alton B. Parker, former democratic nom inee for president and Samuel W. McCall, member of congress from Mass., were the principal speakers today at the Constutlonal Day cele bration at the Jamestown fair. Judge Parker In alluding to tho President's view that the federal gov ernment needs an Increase of power which Judge Parker declared had been deliberately withheld from It by tho states and people when the gov ernment was created, declared there Is a way to transfer the power to the federal government but he said no amount of labor would persuade the states to surrender their homo rule of ours In sufficient measure to meet the President's views as to tho na tional necessity. The Judge said ho did not know for what reason the President had arrived at his conclusion that tho government should be seized with power not granted It by the consti tution. It is to protect people and to defend the constitution, the speaker said. The President is not attempt ing to acquire this power by deceiv ing the people, on the contrary, ho states with perfect frankness what he thinks and how ho proposes It shall be done. There are others of us, said the Judge, who believe powers were wisely distributed by tho constitution and such should Bpeak. Many people have not had time to study tho constitution and these are naturally inclined to be im pressed with the suggestion that while the constitution did very well when It 'was made, that wo have out grown It. Judge Parker advocated that beforo It Is too late thoso op posed to the federation Idea should enter the lists and champion our con stitutional system In Its integrity.
