Jenkins, J r, for the murder of Be v. J. Lane Borden began at Mansfield to-day. Immediately after the shooting of Bor den by Jenkins, District Attorney Hall wrote to John S. Butler, father of the young lady whose name is involved in the matter, giving him the particulars of the tragedy, the alleged cause being the ruin of his daughter, t Mr. Butler replied under date ot June 18, saying: There la not one word of truth in the charge you refer to. I regret very much Mr. Jenkins took op such an idea. My daughter says she said -nothing to - Mr. .Jenkins . that he . possibly : eould infer anything of the kind." - - Miss Butler has made the following statement: : . . . .I hereby deny having made at any time a confession to Mr. Ben, T. Jen kins. Jr, to the effect that Mr. Borden had in any manner- ill-treated me, only so far as shall be explained. When asked by Mr. Jenkins if Mr. Borden had treated me badly I told him yes. fie then asked in what way. I told him M can't telL but you can think anv wav you .wish.' The only Indignity ever offered: or ur. Borden to me was in the library, about ten days ago, when I was there for some books, when he ap- Eroached me and attempted to put his an da upon me. and I immediately left the room and was never n his presence alone again during the remainder of my star at Mansneid. This treatment of Mr. Borden to me was never men tioned to any one but my mother." It may be stated that Miss Butler has a father and two brothers to protect her honor if such protection had been necessary. She is 18 years old. band some and- unusually intelligent. A younger sister was at the Mansfield Seminary with her. Jenkins seems to nave been sane ring irom hallucination of mind when he fired the fatal shot. The High license Law ef Illiaets Journal of Oommeiee. The Harnerr or high license bill be came a law of the State of Illinois on Friday last. Its operation will be the most important and interesting test vet made of the new theory of promoting temperance reform by high rates of license. The bill received the suppoit of the men who in other days were un compromising prohibitionists. It rep resents views wmcn nave been modi fied by . experience. Prohibition being now a conceded failure, its old friends tarn - to. nign license as tne best practi cable measure. - - And in this they are supported by those who were never pro- hiDiuonists. but always believed in a rational sjstem of liquor, regulation, and also by the most respectable of liquor sellers. Such is the odd combin ation that has passed the Harper bill. The new law. is of a type different from that of Iowa a State where the experiment of high license has also been tried, but without the uniformity of rate which characterises the Harper bill. In Iowa cities and towns are per mitted to charge what they please for license and as a result the rate ranges all the way from 75 s year (In lia boque) to S 1,600 (in Creston.) In a num ber of large places 1X00 is the fee. and the average ' throughout the State is high. The Nebraska law puts the li cense zee at S31XX) la cities or a certain grade and $5x-for all other places. 11- linois now estaoiisnee a cast iron sys tem of excise.- operative alike ia all parts of the State, viz. 500 a year for the sale of spirits and wines and $150 a year for the sale of beers. It is estima ted tnat on sucn a basis Chicago will reap an annual revenue of not less than 1,000.000, or a gain of about 600jOOO on her present income from - license fees. This would be a decided relief to tax payers, and insures the popularity of the measure with that class. . As the proprietors or the lowest dram ahons cannot raise 500 to pay in advance for a license, the liquor selling business will naturally be concentrated in the hands of men who are less amenable to the charge of promoting drunkenness and crime. This theory is not fallacious For it is a fact conclusively proved by sse experience or ieurasxa and other States where high license has been tried that intemperance becomes less com mon and less excessive as the inferior liquor shops are ' weeded out. When this happier state of things Is associated with largely increased revenues, ; we need not be amazed at the spread of nigh license sentiments throughout the country. . lv - " t " If it proves a saccess in Illinois, as In Iowa, Nebraska,-Missouri, and Michi gan, It may be expected to - reappear as an issue in .New jcorc.- Tne last Legis lature refused to try it here; but the majority against it was so small in the Assembly as to encourage the friends ox nigh license to renew their efforts next year. The bill defeated at Albany resemoiea tne ieorasxa law in its a is crimination between places, but was more moderate in its scale of fees. For cities of J over 6O000 inhabitants the liqnor licenses were fixed at 50O and beer licenses -250, and for ail other places liqaorlicenses at 250 and beer licenses $125. This bill, was favored by many of the unrest liquor retailers in the State, and they caa always te trust ed to advocate it. The societies repre senting the spirit and wine interests of tne country nave been tne most active promoters of inch schemes, and have done as much as the most enthusiastic friends of temperance reform to pass and enforce high license laws. Under such Auspices the new system bids fair to become generally adopted, (specially if the Illinois variety of the law shall be crowned with tne success : -now ; pre dicted ror re -v , . v -; : r. : : v.. 1 t Tlaf a the Chile Weald Die. - T1j1 Is wbst tb Slsten ef tht Boms for Catho. tie CblMMa tn - Boatoo. said about poor Uulm tblhi M wmm MklB ttolt 1mt to Uiuk wttb wboeptac ooudk v Tit eliOd i wklalr taken wtifl rf roiww ud rofalOtHt. and wtUi trtgHU Inl tog is Ue hesd. iTb 81ter wUe fi nasd tarry Psrtt's ta KUIer with the taott a tocUotDf ruts la slew soars the dueeaews Ssoeaitaeht4BBMU.n , - -r i; ? ; .
