THE STATUTE


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-The efforts OF

commerce act i'll the prosecution OF
Albert L. France ct al, indicted for
conspiracy to violate the act by
tratficking in lottery slips and
drawings between Cincinnati and
Coyington, Ky, were not successful.
The court for the southern district OF
Ohio found the defendants guilty, and
they appealed to the supreme court ot
the United States The case was
argued by Mr.. James c. Carter Tor
the defendants and by Assistant
Attoruev-General Whitney for the gov
ernment, their arguments being large
lv devoted to the question of the CON
stltutionality of the law. But, sad
Mr.. Justice Pecllham, disposing OF the
ease. the court did not find
Il necessary to pass upon the
constitutionality Of the law, for N the
opinion of the courts the acts com
plained of the carrying OF papers anu
books used in the lottery drawings dld
not, within the meaning of the statute
constitute an offense prohibited by the
statute.
The lottery" said the justice, had
already been drawn; the papers car

statute looks to the future. Inc

COURAGE AND coWARDIcE



DAyToN4. FLA, Jaui t.-The many
instances OF splendid courage shown
IN the Commodore disaster were offset
by displays Of craven cowardice on the
par. of some of those on board.
One man tried to get out boat, and
was promptly knocked down by Ste
phen Crane, the novelist. Mr. Crane
stood on the bridge, glasses in hand,
peeriug through the darkness, trying
to discern a ray of light, as tho tug
was known to be near Mosquito Island
light.
One of the Cubans tried to jump over
board, but Mate Rios caught him by
the collar and hauled him aboard
a0ain. Another was so thoroughly
demoralized that he ISnelt down at the
captains feet and prayed to be thrown

A big coal-heaver got into the hold
and came out with a package of dyna-
mite and told the captain that they
might as we'll let that off at once. The
dynamite was carefully taken rom
him and then Capt. Murphy list did
the rest.
When the boats were launched from
the Commodore, Crane accidentally

others. He saved one Of the sailors

Crane is a good swimmer and kept the

The TOBACCO MEN
Ask Protection for Their Product
at tho Tariff Hearing.
THEY COMPLAIN or DUTCH CHEAP LABOR
In the Production Of Sumatra Tobacco,
Which Has Practically Driven the
American Wrapper Leaf Out
of the Home Market,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The tobacco
schedule was the subject OF the hear
ings before the ways and means COM
mittee Michael Tobin, of Baldwins-
vile, N. Y, representing the New York
State Tobacco Growers association,
said tho tobacco growers were
badly in need of relief. They had
expended vast sums in warehouses,
etc, and until the importation OF
Sumatra began had been fairly pros
porous. Tobacco farms were then
worth $l25 an acre. Such farms were
now generally mortgnged and could
not to-day liquidate their incum-
brances. He did not think it fair
that the Holland syndicate which
employed coolie labor at IL cents
a day, should be allowed to an
nihilate the great leaf tobacco in
dustry in this country. lie denied that
American leaf was not suitable for
wrappers. Sumatra, he said, had no
merit except its appearance. lie com
planned of the elastic language in the
act of 1914 and said that the schedule
IN the act of 1890 would be satisfac-
tory. The consumer, he said, would
not be jured by an adequate duty,
but would get his cigars at the same
price at retail
He said the quality of the American
wrapper leaf had not improved OF re-
cent years because there had been no
inducement to growers to care 1or
their leaves. Cuban tobacco ranked
irst in quality, and Sumatra was de-
cidedlv the worst. lie had no doubt,
he said, that any importer of Sumatra
would rather have Sumatra excluded
than smoke cigar made wholly OF
Sumatra.
"Why?' he was asked.
because if he smoked it he would
lose his breakfast.
He said the growers cared nothing
| for filters. They were interested
primarily in wrappers.
Chairman Dingley called attention
to the fact that under the reduction
| duty of so cents per pound on wrap
pers In the act of 1894 the increase o.
| imports of Sumatra had been over A
per cent. Moreover, said Mr.. Dlngley
! it was a remarkable fact that the
price of Sumatra tobacco increased 3'
cents a pound as soon as the duty wa
reduced so cents. Mr.. Tobin confirmed
this but had no explanation to offer,
j. S. Van Duser, of Horseheads, N
Y, representing the growers of thu
Chemung valley, also asked for protec
tion for wrapper tobacco. He admit
ted that SO would be an adequate rate
but said it was not question OF rate
but of protecting our citizens from
ruinously cheap labor abroad and say
ing great industry from extinction
He said 20,0oO,O00 pounds of foreisl
tobacco was imported annually, o
which 4,0o0 coo were wrappers.
