worth is the Republican leader in the Senate, and
succeeded this afternoon in having the Senate
Codes Committee decide to report favorably to the

ton Of cartoons and portraits by newspapers and
periodicals. except with the consent of she persons
so cartooned. The committee gave hearing on
the bill Mr. Ellsworth was the only One who a..
tended H. He spoke for only minute He said
that the bill carried upon its face any argument
that might be made in its favor He was unable
to conceive of any line that could be drawn other
than the consent of the individuals whose portraits

would be practically imperative. II was suggested
by Senator Malby chairman Of the committee

THE STATE NAY RECOVER 10000 ACRES
AN IMPORTANT DECISION BY THE hi"hH''
COURT AFFECTING THE ACTION OF
FORMER CONTROLLERS

AN IMPORTANT DECISION BY THE HIGHEST
COURT AFFECTING THE ACTION OF
FORMER CONTROLLERS.
Albany. March 3.-The Court OF Appears mas
handed down decision involving most Inn
nortant question of law. 1t holds that the state
Fisheries Game and Forest Commission may
bring proceedings In the form OF certiorarl TO re-
view the actions Of State Controllers In canceuhB
the sales Of lands for unpaid State taxes. Inc
question is purely of technical nature pu' IL
will permit the Commission named to enter suits to
set the cancellations of sales by former state
Controllers OF lands In the forest preserve aggre-
eating $4,000 acres of the most valuable Adiron-
dack timber lands Nearly all of these sales were
cancelled by ex-Controllers Chaplin, Wemple and
Campbell
When Controller Roberts went into office he made
a thorough investiga ton and found that the can
celiations of his predecessors amounted TO over
$4,000 acres which the State would now hold "a n
part of the State Adirondack Park il the cancella-
tons had not been made Mr. Roberts resolved to
the legality of these cancellations. but found
that he, as Controller, had no authority under the
law to bring an action to review the acts OF his
predecessors 1t was therefore thought that such
"A action could be brought By the Fisheries. Game
and Forest Commission as custodian OF the state
forest preserve.
The test case was brought against Benton Tur-
ner. who secured possession OF 100 acres, the
Macombs' purchase in the town Of HIarrietstown.
Franklin County, through one OF these GanceIia-
cided that the Commission did not have. the
authority to bring the proceedings, but the Court
II did. The will now go back to the lower
courts to be tried on rs merits me ACTON Is 10
declare null and void the act of the Controller
If in the Turner case it be decided that the
collation. was void then it will follow. matter
of course that all other cancellations made by the
State Controllers on the application OF the owners
also void, and the state will get back the 49,
90 acres OF land.

tory of the peanut. Ii is now extensively
grown in Africa, South America India,
China and the Malayan Archipelago In
Europe peanuts are extensively grown only
in Spain; { II over the continent they are
used mostly for their oil. and the great
markets there draw their supply mostly
from the west coast of Africa. India and
Brazil consume most of the great crops
grown in those countries. In this country
the peanuts is staple In Virginia, the
Carolinas and Georgia. Besides il is raised
to some extent in nearly all the southern
states, and its cultivation in southern Cali
fornia is increasing every year.
The annual product in the United States
varies from 2,0o0oO0 to 5,GU.o0o bushels,
and practically all of this immense quantity
is used here.
Three varieties are grown in the United
States: the white. the red and the Spanish.
The white peanut has two kernels only in
each pod, and this is also true of the Span
ish nut, which is considerably smaller,
however. than the white variety and has a
MUCH milder flavor. The third variety. the
red peanuts, often has as many as three
or four kernels in each shell and is larger
connoisseurs say the Spanish nuts are the
best, the white ones next best. and the big
red ones last in quality. But il is a curious
circumstance that the peanut eaters OF the
city of New York the biggest peanut mar
ket in the United States. prefer these big
red nuts to all Others
