EXTENSION OF TIME
WILL BE ASKED OF COUNTY COURT
BY 8HEKIFF DURBIN,
In Which to Collect the Bicycle Tax
286 Wheelmen Deposited
f 1.25 Yesterday. ,
From Dally April 30th.)
The time In which wheelmen may pay
the bicycle tax will not expire for Bev
el al days yet. Sheriff F. W. Durbin
has decided to ask of the county court
an extension of time In which to collect
the bicycle tax, and the same will vet y
probably be granted.
, The county court meets in regular
session Wednesday, when She tiff Dur
bin will laake formal application for
the "desired extension of time. It Is
not known what date will be -leterminei
upon, when the tax sha'l become de
linquent, but It wilt very probably be
Thursday, May 11th. That date will be
Jutt sixty days after the time the ac
tion of County Judge Terrell, in levy
ing the assessment of $1.25 per bicycle
in the county, was rattled by the coun
ty, court. Sheriff Duiblr thinks It Is
only fair to allow the wheelmen the full
sixty days, allowed by law, to which
to pay the tax after it was officially
levied and County Judge Terrell enter
tains a like view. But it is Improbable
that a further extension of time, after
May Hth. . will be asked for or even
granted If asked for, the time In which
the tax chall be paid being regulated
by law.

County Judge G. P. Terrell yesterday
received from County Judge E. Weed
ward, of Hen ton county, a letter of in
quiry relative to the progress of the
collection of . the bicych? tax In this
county. Speaking- of the bicycle tax
law. Judge Woodward, writes; "As
some think it would not stand the test
in the courts, will your county couit.
do you think, take this Into considera
tion, or will it go ahead and expend the
money collected without ny guarn
tee in building bicycle paths and take
cliances on having- to refund it some
time In the future out of the general
fund? How .do ycu regard, this matter
in your county? " I would be very
thankful for a brief reply."
- Judge Terrell made -arawer to the
letter of Inquiry saying that as yet, no
substantial opposition had been shown
the ollctlon of the bicycle, tax and
that If no action Is taken to enjoin the
collection before the county court meets
next Wednesday that the court will di
rect the expenditure of the money ac
cording to law. He alto informed
Judge Woodward that In this county
jthe farmers are equally as earnest as
the wheelmen themselves in advocating
the construction of cycle path?. J udge
Terrell feels satisfied that in the event
the bicycle tax law is tested and prove J
unconstitutional th tt thj wheelmen
throughout the county would formally
donate the amount of their tax, and
more too, It neceffary, towards a fund
to be expended in the building, of bi
cycle paths.

POWDER PLANTS BUSY
Government Order for Smokeless
Explosive Being Filled. "
Spirits to iMake 1,000.000 Founds Given
Free of Duty Army and Navy Will
Be Supplied with the Substitute for
the Black 3IatertaL
When the United States goes to war
again the soldiers : and naval vessels
will be equipped with' a quality of
smokeless . powder that wlll put them
on a par wtth the forces of any other
fighting nation In the world- Profiting-
by the lesson learned In the war
with Spain, the government is mak
ing preparations to purchase smoke
less powder in larger quantities than
ever before, and the plants of the pow
der companies In the country -are being-
run to their utmost capacity to
supply the demand. Recent dispatches
contained an account of an arrange
ment made by the government with
the American Spirits Manufacturing
company to supply Uncle Sam with
vast quantities of spirits, to be used
in the manufacture of smokeless pow
der. A contract ' was made, and the
first consignment of spirits sent East
from the distilleries of Keneucky a
few days ago amounted to between
300.000 and 400.000 gallons.
Representatives of the powder com
panies located In Chicago deny the
statement that the spirits were pur
chased to be used by the government
Itself In manufacturing smokeless
powder, as they say that the govern
ment does not manufacture the explo
sive, says the Inter-Ocean. The spirits
are used extensively in the manufac
ture of smokeless powder, but iTiey are
furnished to the powder companies by
the government. The purpose of this
arrangement is to avoid the payment
of the duty on spirits, so that the gov
eminent can purchase the explosive
more cheaply than If the companies
were obliged to pay the duty.
It has been stated that the United
States troops during the Santiago cam
paign labored Under a great disad
vantage in fighting the Spaniards, be
cause they used black powder, which
makes a great smoke, and the enemy
was equipped wKh smokeless powder.
While it is admitted that the black
powder was a disadvantage to the
United States troops, because it some
times obscured the enemy from the
view of the soldiers, the representa
tives of the powder companies assert
that the smokeless powder used by the
Spaniards was inferior in every way
to the black powder of the Americans,
and that the smokeless powder now
being furnished the United States gov
eminent Is superior to that used In
any foreign country. They support
their statements toy pointing to the
poor' results in shooting that the
Spaniards met with, and attribute It
as much to the poor quality of powder
as to the poor marksmanship.,
"Just after the war with Spain."
said a representative of the Dupont
Powder company, "the government
called for bids to tfurnish 1,000.000
pounds of smokeless powder. Our
company divided the contract with the
California Powder company, and K Ik
now being supplied to the government
as fast as our plants can make it at
li cents a pound. The powder iwe are
supplying is made fby our company by
a secret process: known only to the
company and ts the best ever made.
Spirits enter largely Into its composi
tion, but Just for what purpose It is
used I do not know. The government
has always supplied the spirits.
There is no reason why our troops
should not have ibeen supplied with
smokeless powder before the war, as
It could have been done If the govern
ment had only recognised the necessity
of It. Of course, when the Aghttng
commenced, the men could not be sup
plied with smokeless powder In time
to use it In the Cuban campaign. At
present, the government Is receiving
large quantities of it. and all the
troops and vessels will be supplied in
a short time. ' The smokeless powder
plants in the United States are, larger
and can turn out a" greater quantity
than any in the wo rid. and the results
from the tests of their product have
been more satisfactory.
"Our company has conducted many
experiments to determine what is the
best kind of smokeless powder to be
used in the various kinds of arms In
use In the army and navy, and It Is
only within a year or so- that we have
been satisfied with the results. iMost
of the troops In the Philippine Islands
are using smokeless powder, and the
Illinois state troops have used It for,
four or five years." '
C. H. Vehmeyer, manager of the
Laflin-Rand Powder company In Chi
cago, said;
"The greatest difficulty me have to
contend with in manufacturing smoke
less powder is the great danger of ex
plosions In the factories. It ts more
dangerous to handle than any other
kind of powder we -manufacture, the
chief Ingredients being gun-cotton and
spirits. About, three weeks ago the
Dupont people had one of their fac
tories blown up In Delaware, entaUing
a toss of half a million dollars, while
during the war one of our factories
blew up in New Jersey.
