Iniaming Circular Letter of an East
ern Tobacco Concern Caused
Twenty-Five States to
Take Action.

The dealers in tobacco in this State
who have handled the goods Of the Cont
mental Tobacco Company, the headquar-
teTs OF which are In New York, have re-
ceived a report of the proceedings Of the
National Association OF Wholesale Gro.
GERS from their representative at the Nev
York meeting. II. II. LoVeland. For some
time the tobaccOnists have been disturbed
over a circular letter issued from the Of
fees of the Continental Tobacco Company
and sent broadcast over the United states
10 the trade. This circular gave notice
that beginning with November 30 the old
understanding concerning plug, chewing
and smoking tobacco, under which the
dealers received a premium OF 10 per cent
for selling the companys goods, would be
considered as at an end.
In the place Of the old agreement, which
had not worked TO the satisfaction Of the
Continental Company because the iobbers
had for good and sufficient reasons sold
large quantities Of the goods OF the Amer
lean Tobacco Company, a new set OF rates
was advertised in the circular letter. The
way that the dealers in tobacco found sat
isfaction in this emergency was 10 unite
IN the purchase Of a huge quantity OF to-
bacco and so manage to get fiat rate.
The circular set forth that ] per cent
would be deducted from the price list for
every l.000 900 pounds of tobacco pur-
chased per month Ihis ranged up 10 the
purchase OF 100000 pounds per month,
with the corresponding percentages off.
IL was feasible for the dealers IN to-
bacco by uniting their purchases 70 get a
great quantity and so secure the advan-
tage. At the meeting in New York which
MT LOveland attended there were twen-
ty-fiVe States represented and fifty-fve
delegates. The unit plan Of purchase was
then and there adopted after the schemes
Of the Continental Tobacco Company had
been fully considered Mr. Loveland re-
ported that the unit plan had been adopt
cd when he met with the local tobacco
nists. While the meeting was in progress
a telegram was received from President
Lee of the National Association OF Whole
sale Grocers reporting that the plan was
working spendidly.

E|SENSCH|MEL
Surprise Sprung in
Kelly's Trial.
BARNES REFUSED TO TESTIFY
ATTORNEY nTNNE TMpprs
BARNES REFUSED TO TESTIFY
ATTORNEY DUNNE IMPRESSED
AS A WITNESS.

Carl Eisenschimel, the handwriting ex-
pert, took the stand yesterday in Judge
Lawlor's court and corrected an impress
sion heretofore published that Thomas A
Kelly forged the straw bonds he is now
on trial for having feloniously accepted
for the release Of Harry Wilson, a thiev-
Ing negro. Eisenschimel created a sensa-
hon by testifying that in his opinion none
other than j. y. h. Wilson signed all OF
the bonds and all of the releases. ]. n.
4. Wilson was in court at the time and
the announcement created some conster-
nation for Wilson and his friends and
surprise for the onlookers. Wilson said
that he could overwhelm Eisenschimels $
opinion with abundance of proof, and pro-
ceeded, after the testimony of w. s.
Barnes, who followed the handwriting ex-
pert, TO make good his declaration.
During the trial on Thursday Attorney
Dibble, who represents Kelly, said that
ne would like to put Mr.. Barnes on the
stand for the purpose OF proving that Will
son. the colored prisoner, had offered $1,000
10 secure his release, as he was anxious
TO return to a vocation OF robbing as
sisted by woman with whom he had
been consorting. Mr.. Barnes, however.
refused TO SO testify and was dismissed
from the stand.
Henry IL. Adams was then called To dis
prove the theory of Carl Eisenschimel
He said that he was familiar with I
T.. Wilson's handwriting and that the
writing on the bonds was not his. George
w. Rohe also testified that the hand
writing was not Wilson's. and as he had
seen much OF II he was a competent Judge
Others testified TO the same effect Dur
ing the proceedings Attorney Peter F.
dunno entered the court and was prompt
" placed on the stand TO prove that
Eisenschimel was a learned and compe-
tent handwriting expert. Mr. Dunno.
however, said that he was not compe-
tent expert on handwriting experts, and
ID.

The trial will go on again Monday.
