COURT
CHARLESTON. W. Va., Mar. 11.
? It ?an be authoritatively stated
thai the state does not propose to
k?e that <100,080 In revenue jeop
ardized by the action of the Demo
cratic minority in the house of dele
gates when tbey refused to allow
?either the general revenue or the
assessment bill to take effect from
Its passage. A test of the matter
will tie made in the courts and the
Sasoe will be fought there. The
general revenue bill which Increases
the saloon license from $500 to $600
soes into effect on May 22. Under
the old law license year begins May
1. and every saloon will no doubt
pay op for a full year at the old rate
of $600. If this goes the state will
lose $100 on each of the one thous
and saloons.
Just how to get at the situation Is
a matter now puzzling the state au
thorities, bat as they can take no
action until the day the law goes
tato effect, there Is plenty of time
Tor them to reach some conclusion.
It Is thought that it will be necea
wary la proceed against each person
holding suoh a license, but of course
tine mich case will establish a pre
edem by which all the others will be
determined.
It is expected that the move will
wraif from the tax commissioner,
who under the law Is charged with
certain duties In the assessment and
collection of taxes. It Is not likely
that the saloolsts will pay the extra
$100 until directed to do so by the
court* and a pretty legal fight Is
expected.
By this same action on the part
of the Democratic minority the na
tional banks for the next assessment
year will be listed In the old way.
It has? been estimated the new law
would have adth?d a valuation of
aotnit $10,000,000 from these bankB.
The tax on social clubs, It Is stat
ed, cannot bo collected for tho com
ing year for the same reason. It
was expected to raise about $15,000
pi'r year from this source.
The action of the minority In re
sard to these bills will no doubt
cause the governor to use his veto
power on the appropriation bill to a
greater extent than will be pleaBlng
to him, but the appropriations must
be kept down to within the Income.
It Is stated the governor will cut
cot the bill to the extent of about
$300,000. The bill is now In his
haude and the result of his work on
It will be known in a few days.
Dr E. A. Wilson was here Satur
day from Salem.

Thieves Eut. k Lunch.
In a le&surely nnuiner burglars
broke Into Murttn Brothers'* grocery
store In the Oak Hall building-, Tele
gram square, early'Sunday-morning,
blew open the' 6afe wltlTnltrd-gTycer
ine, too* all t^e money they could
find and successfully, made, thqlr es
cape. "
The robbery was discovered Sun
day morning at 10:30 o'clock by
Knbert Martin, the manager of the
store and member of the firm, when
he went Into the place. He found
the door of the safe lying in pieces
on the floor and papers and other
articles scattered around.
Broke Door Panel.
The burglars effcetcd an entrance
by breaking a hole in a panel of the
rear door at a point just below tho
lock. The hole was made large
enough to pass an arm through so
as to reach the key which had been
left In the lock and unlock the
door. After getting Inside .the burg
lars? wrenched the handle of the
safe off, poured the explosive in the
hole and set it ofr. They found
about
$100 In Money
which they took. Checks calling
for about the 6ame amount were al
so taken Irom the safe but the burg
lars left them on a counter and these
were found later In the day. The
books and some valuable papers In
the safe were not taken by them and
thev were uninjured by the explo
sion.
The robbers also opened the cash
register In the store but found noth
ing In It as Mr. Martin had taken
the money out and placed In It the
safe Saturday night.
Ate a Lunch.
The burglars were quite at leisure
in doing the Job for they Indulged in
a lunch In the store before taking
their departure. They got aom?
cans of baked pork and beans which
they opened, took some pickles,
cheese, cakes and other edibles and
made a meal of them.
Several tools were left behind bl
the robbers and It was found out
they took them from a tool house
of the B. & O. railroad In the local
yards. There was a big monkey
wrench, an auger, a big wrench and
several other Implements.
Blood Bounds Used.
Mr. Martin at once notified the
city police and about noon J. W.
Shrader's blood hound was procured
and placed on the trail. The dog
took a scent and went on Main street
and up Chestnut street beyond the
cemetery but lost it. A big crowd
of boys and others followed the of
ficers uud the dog and greatly Im
peded the work so that when a sec
ond trail was taken the route had
been pretty
Well Tramped Down.
The second trail resulted as the
first one and the ofllcers decided to
wait until later to make another
trial when there would be no crowd
to bother them.
In the evening at 7: SO o'clock
the officers again put the blood
hound on the trail and the animal
went In the same direction but
turned and went up Lowndes's hill
a piece when the scent was again
lost.
Heard the Exposion.
The burglary took place between
2 and 3 o'clock in the morning.
Several persons in the Imperial
lunch room heard an explosion that
sounded like the discbarge of a pis
tol about 2:30 o'clock. They ran
out Into the street and looked op
and down but could find no cause for
It. After a little search they gave
It up.
Officer Saw Nothing.
Mght Officcr Richard Brooks.'
who 1* employed the merchants,!
says he was In the rear of the Oak
Hall building on his rounds about
2:30 o'clock In the morning but he
found nothing that aroused his sus
picions.
One of the burglars left a clue
which may be of valuable assistance
to the officers, but it was not found
until late Sunday. The robber
Left His Coat
Hanging on a nail, having taken a
coat belonging to Mr. Martin, pre
