Detectives Harper and Bee were assigned

and on one occasion missed capturing him
by two minutes. They entered certain
house and found number of articles

on Howard street, Hubbard was pointed

CIGAR PACKERS KICK.
They win Oppose an Increase in
the Tobacco Tariff.

The cigar manufacturers all over the
country are at present very uneasy concern
ing Section T of the Tariff Bill lately
recommended by the Ways and Means
Committee before Congress by which it is
proposed to raise the tariff-duty ON I'M
ported wrappers to 81 per pound. whereas
at present it is but 70 cents.
In the hopes of preventing the passage of
the section the Agitation Committee of the
National Cigar-packers' Association has
sent out circulars to every manufacturer in
the country urging the adoption and in
dorsement of protest against it. The To-
cal manufacturers, having received the cir
culars to that effect during the past week,
called meeting for yesterday afternoon at
BIG SanSome street to take some action in
the matter
A Sufficient number of manufacturers
could not be drawn together. however, and
after short informal discussion of the
state of affairs it was determined by the
few present to circulate the following petit
ton among all the local manufacturers and
employees and submit it for general adop-
ton at another meeting to be held in the
same Office on next Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock:
We the undersigned. most respectfully protest
against tue passage OF that part OF the Tariff Bill
embodied In Section +, under the head of to-
baceo, as Its passage would ruin the cigar indus
try of the country. We would request that The
importation stamp now put on all boxes contain
Ing imported cigars by the Government be abol-
lshed and that the duty on imported cigars be So
per pound, and that a uniform duly of so cents
per pound be put on all imported tobacco ire
spectlye OF grade
Though there seems to be no general in
clinatlOn on the part of local manufacturers
to make a move in the matter, those present
at yesterdays informal meeting appeared
very Sanguine. Said j. b. Plagemann
The adoption of the section referred to
would. beyond a doubt, kill the American
cigar industry completely. Foreign tobacco
is an absolute necessity in the manufacture
OF the finer grades of cigars and if they in
crease the tariff on the raw material it will
make it an absolute impossibility for Amer
lean manufacturers to compete with for
eigners."
The $50 local manufacturers will all be
notified by card of the next meeting and it
proposes to send the protest through with a
rush,

tive than to dismiss the case.
