Many Boys Are Now Preparing
To Leave For College.

1t seems that more OF our Young people are
going off to College this year than ever before,
and apparently THE GEORGIA-ALABAMA
BUSINESS COLLEGE,at Macon, Ga. is to get
the majority of them.
This IS doubtless due to the practical, pains
taking methods of instruction, which cause at
tendance there 10 result in the highest qualif-
cation in certain employment.
Published reports show the College to have
over 1900 graduates holding fine positions from
England To the Philippines, some paying sal
aries running high into the thousands. The
high rank taken By these graduates makes the
demand from the business world for others
much greater than can be supplied.

FIGHTING AMERICAN
TOBACCO TRUST
Legislation in Germany to
Make the Weed a Gov
eminent Monopoly.
Special tC The Globe.


BERLIN, Jan. EN- order to defeat
the purpose of the American tobacco
trust the imperial government is pre-
pared to nationaIize the German tobac-
co industry. Gustave Kaphun, the
president of the German Tobacco Man
ufacturers' association, stated today
that as soon as American competition
succeeds in wedding out the small
dealers the reichstag will pass Iegisla-
ton making tobacco a government mo-
nopoly as in France and Austria. Such
action has been contemplated before,
but was. never taken because of the
hardships likely to be influenced on the.
minor trades people.
Theodore, Peiser, a leading Berlin
manufacturer, says that the chief dam
ger is the possibility that the Ameri-
cans will corner the Cuban and Porto
Rican tobacco crops, compelling the
Germans to depend on inferior supplies.
Maj. Neutwein, governor of German
Southwest Africa, is now in Germany
promoting a company to introduce to-
bacco culture into that colony. The
German dealers are preparing to COM
bat the American premium scheme on
the ground that it is lottery.

TRUST TALK BEGINS
IN THE SENATE
Hoar Advocates His Bill and Vest At
tacks the DingIey Law.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 6.-The
day in the senate was eventful be-
cause of a notable speech by Senator
Hoar on his bill regulating trusts and
an attack by Senator Vest on protect
ed industries through the operation of
the Dingley law. Senator Hoar said
that nearly all thoughtful men in this
country are agreed that some legisla-
ton, state or national, ought to be had
for the regulation and control Of what
are called trusts" and of large masses
of capital accumulated by corporations
or artificial persons holding property
and conducting business without indi-
vidual liability. There was, he said
general feeling of insecurity and alarm
about the matter, and we were dealing
with real peril and not with a fancy
or imaginary danger. He argued that
if his bill should become law and prove
effective no corporation engaging in
the commerce which is within the jur-
iSdiction of congress can keep it's con-
dition a secret. The bill, he said, de-
ponds for it's validity on the constitu-
tional power of congress to regulate
international and interstate commerce.
Should the bill not prove effectual, he
contended that it would be easy to ex-
tend its operation by imposing a like
personal liability on every stakeholder.
Senator Vest used as a text for his
yesterday, instructing the committee
on finance to prepare and report bill
removing the duty on coal. Feeble in
the extreme and supporting himself
on his desk, he called attention to the
condition of distress which had arisen
as q result of the shortage in the coal
supply. There was breathless silence
in the chamber as he spoke to catch
his words. He said that the question
was no longer a partisan one, but one
of humanity, and that we are not on
the verge Of crisis. but actually in
it, He charged the Republican sena-
tors with being silent and dumb to
the state of affairs, having only in
mind the party cry, stand pat" He
characterized the Dingley tariff act as
sacred elephant, with which moth
ing was TO be done" He remarked
that if the question was one of raising
money for the next presidential cam
paign, that was the end of the dis
cussion.
Mr.. Nelson (Minn.) resumed his re-
marks, begun yesterday, in opposition
to the omnibus statehood bill. Mr..
Beveridge suggested the absence of
quorum and only forty senators re-
sponded. 1t took half an hour to Sc
cure a quorum, and Mr.. Nelson had
not concluded his speech when the
senate adjourned.
Senator Nelson today introduced an
amendment to the revenue law of 1897,
providing for reduction of the duty
on bituminous coal to 81 cents per ton
and on stack or culm to 10 cents per
ton. On all coal imported into the Unit
ed States which is afterwards used for
fuel on board vessels which are regis
tered under laws of the United States
a drawback shall be allowed equal to
the duty.

EIGHTEEN SAILORS
ARE DROWNED
Norwegian Bark, Prince Ar
thur, Wrecked on the
Washington Coast.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Jan. g.
News of the wreck of the Norwegian
bark Prince Arthur and the death by
drowning Of eighteen of the crew, was
received today. The Prince Arthur
was bound from Valparaiso foe British
Columbia to load lumber. On the night
Of Jan. the vessel ran into breakers
and was soon hard and fast on the
rocky shore. The scene of the disaster
is about two miles south of Ozette, on
the Washington coast, fifteen miles
from Cape Flattery.
AS the Umatilla light vessel lies
about three miles off shore from
Ozette, it is believed that the latter
mistook the ightsIip for Tataash is
land and sailed eastward, believing she
was entering the straits instead of
running blindly to her fate. Of the
twenty members of the Prince Ar
thurs crew, only two were saved, and
they were neary exhausted when they
were washed ashore. The bodies of
eighteen drowned seamen are being
buried by ranchers and Indians living
near the scene of the disaster as they
come ashore.
The Prince Arthur was an iron bark
of 1,509 tons, built at Birkenhead in
1869. She was formerly called the
Hoghton Head.

NEW DEPARTMENT
OF COMMERCE BILL
Proposed Bureau to Deal With Corpora
tions.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 6.-Repre-
sentative Mann, Of Illinois, today reported
for the house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce a substitute for the SEN
ate bill to establish a new department for
commerce and labor.
The report says that one object of the
new department is to consolidate as far
as possible all of the statistical bureaus
of the government in one department and
to place in the department all of the sci
entifc bureaus engaged in work relating
to commerce, manufactures and labor.
Relative to the proposed bureau of cor
pOrationS the report says:
The creation of this bureau will make
it the duty of an officer of the govern
ment to deal with the matter Of corpora
ton information and to acquire knowledge
and report recomm endations concerning
the manner and extent to which corpora
ton transactions in interstate commerce
shall be subjected to the influence of ma
tional legislation. Your committee be-
lieves that this is a practical step toward
the legitimate control of corporations en-
gagged in commerce among the states.'

PRESIDENT URGES
ANTITRUST BILLS
Lays Down the Law to Sena-
tors, Who Are Planning
to Dodge.
From Globe Washington Bureau.

From Globe Washington Bureau.
WASHINGTON,D Jan. 6.-Already
President Roosevelt has begun to feel
the inertia Of United States senate
unwilling to lagislate against trusts.
Characteristically he has begun to
threaten and to use the administration
whip. To the senators and representa-
White he has laid down the law and
INDUCED in very loud scolding. He
will have trust legislation he says, and
there is no use fer congress to be
mulish and balk. If statesmen cannot
get together in the fifty days Of this
short session, he says, he will give
them longer time at an extra session
to be summoned in the spring right
after adjournment.
Meantime the wise old senators have
adopted the ruse of killing time with
a sham battle. The statehood debate
has been made to serve a very useful
purpose Uncle Matt Quay and Uncle
Mark Hanna have arranged for an I'M
finished business programme which is
likely to consume all the time now
needed absolutely for the passage of
appropriation measures. Talk on trusts
will be effectually silenced and Iegisla-
ton surely blocked. That is the pro-
gramme.
Today some Of the presidents
friends are talking Of an effort to dis
place the statehood bill with the Hoar
anti trust bill, but this cannot be done
without the aid of the Democrats, who
are not likely to help. Another compli-
cation has been added to the antitrust
situation by the communication of At
torney General Knox, who, instead Of
showing how Hoar's publicity bill is
constitutional, goes off on a tangent
advocacy of a better enforcement and
slight amendment of the interstate
commerce act.
