THE PROPOSED
TOBACCO DEAL

New York, Jan. 20.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: Further par
ticulars are given regarding the proposed
manufacture by an American syndicate.
The present owners ignored the PROPOSE
tons until assured that New York City
and other banks q taken it out of the
hands of professional promoters. The
plan is yet a long way from consumma-
ton. Initial steps have been taken look
ing to the banks furnishing the money for
a single corporation which should control
the output. The estimate is made that
81 OOO. 900 would be sufficient to obtain the
existing factories, but the amount needed
to get the tobacco lands of the Vuelta
Abajo and Particles districts are largely
guess work.
Estimates AVE been made of particu-
lar regions in Vuelta Abajo. These show
on paper large prospective returns. One
district, the Repate, figures $3.50, 900 yearly
profit on a net investment of $3.50, 900. The
largest estimate is $50, 600, 900 for the total
tobacco area in the province of Pinar del
Rio and Havana. The bank syndicate
protested readiness to advance S100, 000,-
900. The promise is made that if an ar
rangement is concluded the funds will be
Immediately supplied by buying oxen, re-
building drying houses and other build
ings destroyed by the war and procuring
the seeds for next seasons plant. Five
million dollars is the estimate for this pur-
pose.
Left to themselves, under the most IA
vorable conditions, it will be two years
before the tobacco farmers can return to
a normal production. Their greatest
drawback is a lack of oxen. The crop this
year is very short, though the recent rains
are helping it. The Havana factories
will not be able to meet the demand for
cigars this year, because of their inabil-
ity to procure the leaf in sufficient quanti-
ties. A prominent mover in the scheme
thought it would take longer to consum-
mate than it's projectors supposed. 1t is
possible, not probable, that if they are
satisfied of the responsibility of the own
ers negotiations will soon be closed.

CONFESSED TO
A ROBBERY
Chicago Man Tells of a Crime
of Years Ago.

His Conscience Pricked Him and He
Went to Lyman Gage and Told

TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF

Chicago, Jan. 20.-Alfred jackson, who
is lying at the county hospital with a
bullet hole in his mead, says he robbed
the First National bank of Chicago Of
$l,500 over . years ago, was chased by
detectives for Is months, gave himself
up to Lyman j. Gage when Mr.. Gage
was president Of the bank, was pardoned,
and afterwards tried seven Zines to kill
himself. Jackson is so years of age and
his home is in Western Springs. He says
he is a safe builder and that he was en-
ployed on the First National banks safe
when the institI.iol moved into its new
building or Dearborn street in 1884.
There were II new safes in the bank and,
according to Jackson, money was put
into them by some Of the bank Officials
before they We're ready for use.
"One day" Jackson said, II vas work.
ing on the safes and noticed that the door
of one of them was open. I looked inside
and saw several bundles of paper honey
No one being near, / took two of them,
containing $1,500. I became afraid of The
disgrace that would follow my being
found out. l determined to tell Lyman
J. Gage all about it. l went to him one
day and l said:
IN Gage, if you had come to me and
accused me of taking the money 1 would
have told you. L took the money, but
was too proud to let detectives catch
me-
"'Can you return the money! says Mr.
Gage.
Il told Mr.. Gage hat I could not; that
it was all gone, and that he ought to
prosecute me and send me to the peni-
tertiary. He refused to do this and
never attempted to do anything to me-"
At last, jackson says, the disgrace
weighed on his mind so hard that he
made up his mind to commit suicide.
After several futile attempts he fired a
bullet into his head. It entered behind
his right ear and penetrated the brain
slightly, but he is getting along nicely
He appears to be in full possession of his
faculties and he has puzzled the hospital
surgeons, who declare he is a remark

Stocks Go WAY UO

San Francisco, Jan 2O.-The Central
Pacific railroad stock, which less than
three months ago was quoted at 10, has
advanced to As. Mrs. Sanford owns 49,
$50 shares of this stock and at 10 it was
worth $433, 1929. At the present rate she
might sell it for 81 ,599, 1884 and it is said
she has received even a better offer. The
Examiner this morning says that the To-
cal directors of the Central Pacific that
within 80 days the scheme of financial re-
organization of the road will be made
public. There is talk of consolidation
with the Southern Pacific, out the belief
is also expressed that before a consolida-
ton there will be a temporary lease of the
Central Pacific by the Southern Pacific
and an agreement by the latter to pay two
per cent annual dividend on the 6SS, 900
shares.

OF a kindly deed or a word Of praise or
sympathy. All OF US hunger for human
sympathy. We long for that almost mex
pr,es.b,e feeling that words of encourages
ment and praise from those around US

Many a discouraged soul has been
strengthened to the renewed effort that
brought success by a word fifty spoken.
and many one has gone down in defeat
fSr want of it, many a eIae has been lifted
from the slough of despond BY kindly
bend extended at the right moment, and
many another has sunk deeper in because
the needed grasp of a friendly hand was
wanting. There are times when all of us
realize this, and yet we too often forget
that cur neigtbcr next door is just as much
IN need OF these things as we are, and we

we rob ourselves. too, In this. For the
influence of good deeds or gentle words ex-

that rsceived from giving others happiness.
Blessed Is the man who has learned this
