TRUST IS NOT PLEASED
CIGAR COMBINE OBJECTS TO ARM
 STRONG's ORDER.
Brings Pressure to Bear Upon President Roosevelt to Countermand Or- der Providing for . New
 StnmU.

Washington, Sept. 15.-tSepecial)- The tobacco trade is up in arms over the possibility that the action of Act ing Secretary Armstrong in directing that a change shall be made in the GUS
 toms stamp on imported cigars may be rescinded by order of President Roosevelt.
 For a number of years the manufac- turers of cigars made in this country from tobacco impored from Cuba have labored under the disadvantage that Q wide customs stamp, printed In red. was bound about the boxes of import ed cigars and was generally accepted by smokers as a certificate of merit
 as 1t was the guarantee of the United States government that the cigars were imported.
 The matter came to a head when the tobacco trust had acquired a major ity of the cigar factories in Cuba. Since that time. the entire independent tobacco trade of the United States has
 been working to have the customs | stamps abolished.
 | Assistant Secretary of the Treasury | Armstrong, in charge of the customs | service, after months of careful con-
 sideration of the subject, and being trade, with the exception of the tobao-
 co trust, favored a change in the | stamp, recently issued an order that a new stamp should be prepared This stamp will be conspicuous in character and will be placed on the | bottom of the box, fully complying with
 the law, but such design not to consti-
 ute an advertisement of foreign made | cigars.
 No sooner had the intelligence of | this move been communicated to the | trade, than letters and telegrams from
 independent manufacturers and deal-
 CTS both in cigar and leaf tobacco from
 all parts of the country poured in on
 the treasury department congratula- | ting MT. Armstrong on the change. l There was but one note of opposi.
 tion and that was from the tobacco trust, which 1t is understood, has ap.
 pealed to the president to have the
 order countermanded. Tho trust is
 bringing all it's influence to bear to
 prevent a change in the stamp. and.
 1t Is said, a hearing will be given in
 New York to the representatives of | the Havana Tobacco Company, tho | cigar trust" which will be held very
 shortly. probably tomorrow.

KILLED BY AN ESCAPE
ARKANSAS SHERIFF IS SHOT
 THROUGH THE HEART.
Effort Is Made to Lynch the Murderer, But Finally He is Safely
 Landed in Jail.

' Little Rock, Ark. Sept. 15.-A spe- cial to The Gazette from Batesville, Ark, says:
 Sheriff Jeff D. Morgan was shot and killed early tonight by Robert Crosby. an escaped prisoner from the Salem, Ark, jail. Sheriff Morgan learned that the man was in town and went to ar rest him on Main Street. When ne placed the fugitive under arrest Crosby said All right" and pretended to suo- init, but suddenly dropped his grip and in an instant had shot Sheriff Morgan through the heart.
 Many persons being on the street, pursuit was instantly taken up. The fugitive took refuge in large barn near the depot. By this time dusk was coming and the crowd soon surrounded the block and hundreds of men gath cred with weapons. The barn was sur rounded and the lower part of the struc- ture was entered. Numerous shots were fired into the hay loft.
 Finally the man yelled stop" and came out and surrendered. There was an effort made to lynch him. The mob lacked a leader or the man would prob ably have been hanged on the street. A rope was produced and almost a fight was necessary to prevent the lvnching. After long struggle citi- zens succeeded in getting Crosby into tau where he is under guard. There is much excitement and the Jail is closely guarded,

He characterized President Roosevelt as dangerous man because of his love of power and warlike denominations and unsuited to be at the head of a nation that wanted to be great in moral force and not physical force.
 You ask me, a believer In free sil- yer. how can bring myself to support a man who favors the gold standard. 1 say that I love peace and the gospel of peace infinitely more than love either silver or gold."
 MT. Bryan assured his hearers that If MT. Parker was elected President. peace would reign In the United States during the next four years.
 MT. Bryan spoke of the labor troubles and consequent occurrences in Colorado and said the eye of the country was on Colorado and the people were anxious to learn the result of the vote for Gov ernor.
