Discusses Policy Government
Should Pursue.
Mr.. Bristow Spent Several Months
In His Investigation Which
Was Thorough.
TRAFFIC CONNECTION FAVORED

Washington, July The report
of Joseph l.. Bristow, who was APP
pointed a special commissioner to in
vestigate trade conditions and other
matters concern the Panama Rail
road and Steamship company, was
made public today. The report dis
cusses from several points of view
the question of what policy should
be pursued by the government in the
management of the railroad and
makes a number of important recon-
mendatious.
Among these are the continuance
of the railroad as a commercial line,
with improved facilities for handling
commerce, including double-track-
ing and re-equipping the line with
modern rolling stock, the enlarge
ment of its port facilities, the reten-
ton of the steamship line between
New York and Colon, the cancellation
of the contracts with the Pacific Mail
Steamship company and the South
American lines and the opening of
the ports of Colon and Panama to all
steamship lines on equal terms: and
in certain contingencies the estab-
lishment by the railroad of steam
ship lines between Colon and Gulf
ports and Panama and important
United States Pacific coast ports II
is also recommended that in traffic
connections American steamship
lines be favored as far as consistent
with the treaty obligations of the
United States.
Mr.. Bristow spent several months
in his investigation, visiting the 18TH
mus of Panama, important ports on
the western coast of Central Ameri-
ca, the Isthmus of Tehauntepec and
the Pacific coast of the United States.
His report reviews the entire history
of the railroad and discusses allega-
lions that its local freight and pas
senger service charges were excessive
and its traffic contracts with steam
ship lines monopolistic.

Tobacco Trust Thus Charged
at Washington.
Growers and Planters From BurIcy
aud Dark Tobacco Counties Are
Solicited for Information.
FAULT WITH THE JUNE REPORT

Washington. u. c., July i2-Sec-
rotary Wilson said today that the
charges that the department reports
on the condition of the tobacco crop
for June were tempered with by the
tobacco trust would be Investigated
with the utmost thoroughness. II is
thought the department viii hardly
include the Clarksvilie and Hopkins
VILE district of the Reggie or tobacco
belt in the report for the month of
July. as II is charged that the agents
OF the American Tobacco company
made the report for the issue of the
Crop Reporter for June, and IL is TO
be presumed the agents of the trust
are still in that section, ready to
make reports for the government.
The specific allegations made to-
day wre that the tobacco estimates
for June were founded on reports
from agents of the tobacco trust.
The Tobacco Growers Association of
Kentucky and Tennessee. the Dark
Tobacco Growers association of Ten
nessee. and the hurley tobacco grow
ers of Kentucky are all in CORES
pondence with the secretary of agri-
culture over the matter The princi-
pal complaint in connection with the
June report comes from the "Clarks-
Vile and Hopkinsville" district of
the reggie of Dark Tobacco" dis
trict.
Tn official report of the depart
ment last month said Although in
some sections planters are said to
have organized to reduce acreage on
account of low prices. yet for the dis
trict as whole a substantial in
crease as indicated, the outlook now
being for about 30 per cent"
The three tobacco associations
declare that this 90 per cent. esti-
mate is grossly unfair. and that the
acreage increase will not reach any
where near that point. That the de-
partment is not at all certain that
its figures are correct was practical
ly admitted today.

CALEB POWERS CASE

From all over the country come
comments on the Powers case and
the recent decision of Judge Coch-
ran. The following from the Com
mercial Appeal is "A fair sample. of
what most OF the newspapers have to
say:
Powers was tried three times and
In every case the jury was packed
with his political enemies. Care was
especially taken that no Republicans
should be placed on the jury AT
that time political passion ran high,
and II permeated the case. Powers
had to submit to trial before his
political enemies and he was con-
but even a Democratic SUI
preme court hesitated TO affirm the
sentence OF death against him, and
reversed the case. The federal court
has wisely decided that he could not

The Old Gibraltar is the Banner
District.
Congressman Ollie james Deserves
Most of the Credit for the
Showing.
i0e ROUTES IN THE DISTRICT

The First district of Kentucky Is
kentucky's banner rural free deliv-
cry district II is due, in great meas
ure TO Congressman Ollie James.
His constituents have asked for
more than those of any other dis.
trict. and they have gotten II. To-
day there are l02 routes IN opera
ton in the First district. There
were 1871 petitions for the estah-
lishment of routes sent to the de-
partment. Thirty-six OF these petit
tions had TO be turned down, and
SO of them yet remain to be inves-
tigated and passed upon. Last year
at this time there were only three
or four districts in the state which
had less routes than did the first. II
had 81 to it's credit then, as against
1902 now. No district in the state.
and Jew in the United States, show
such relative gains in the number OF
routes established as does the First.
Two hundred and forty rural free
delivery routes were established In
Kentucky during the year which
ended July L. There are IA petit
tons still pending II is interesting
to note that although Kentucky
ranks twelfth among the states, she
comes in about twentieth among the
states in the number of rural free
delivery routes. But this is probably
due to the fact that Kentuckians
have not asked for as many routes,
proportionately as. have some of the
other states. In all, there have been
filed with the postoilice department
petitions for the establishment OF
992 routes. or these petitions 25i
have been turned down by the de
partment. routes have been estab-
lished on SEA of them, and IA yet
remain to be investigated, and acted
upon.

LOCAL SHIP CARPENTERS
Simply Following Provisions of Their

A prominent member of the ship
carpenters union stated this morn
ing that the ship carpenters union S
constitution recognized spinning oak
um as a part Of the caulkers' trade,
and that the carpenters, when they
refused to work unless the caulkers
were permitted to spin oakum, were
not acting in sympathy with the
canleers, but simply following out
the provisions of the constitution.
II is stated that on the Great
Lakes the caulkers all spin oakum.
but that 1t is a hard matter to bring
the proprietors around on the Ohio

on this team are some real star mate

night and reserve notices given those
whom the management desire to re-
tain for next season.
Oscar, the star outfelder. has the
record Of being the only player in the
league who has played in every game
since the opening May l4th. He has
had a surprisingly large number of
chances in the outtield and his errors
have been few. His batting record is
something over 300. He will probably
go to Oklahoma City and finish the
season In the Western Association.
Oscar has won his way into the hearts
OF the fans not only by being good
ball player, but by being a gentleman
at all times as well. Never has he
been heard to wrangle the least bit
