Decrease Of Cotton Acreage.
The statement was made to a Star man
at the Agricultural Department today that
before the cotton planting season comes to
an end the percentage of decrease in cotton
acreage will probably be even smaller than
was indicated by the bulletin of Friday
This statement is particularly significant
in view of the fact that it is on the cues
ton of acreage that there is the Wides.
difference between the government report
and the report of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association. According to the lat
ter organization, the decrease in acreage
this year will approximate 1S per cent Ac-
cording to the department the decrease will
be trifie over per cent. 1t was this fea-
ture of the government report that came in
for the greatest criticism
And now the statement made this morn
ing that the acreage decrease will be even
smaller than that indicated in the bulletin
is certainly an important one
1t was further pointed out this afternoon
that at meeting of the Southern Cotton
Growers Associa ton, called after the i'm
mensity of the cotton crop of last year was
established. the question of burning cotton
in order to keep the price up was preached
This remedial measure, however proved a
trifie too radical for most of the cotton
growers present, and it was then decided to
reduce the acreage % per cent.
A pledge was taken to this effect and the
influence of this has been felt MANY of
the field inspectors of the department have
reported reductions in acreage of that exact
figure, and 1t is not improbable IL is
thought that the reduction in acreage may
have been overestimated by the officials of
the Southern Cotton Growers Association
for some such reason that found in the
existence of the aforementioned pledge
Will Await Evidence.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson will of
course. take up the matter of the contro-
versy over the government report as soon as
some tangible evidence is laid before him.
Yesterday was the first time he had seen
Mr.. Cheatham and the first time that the
matter of formal charges has been even re-
ferred to by the cotton men who have
been doing most of the talking. The Sec
rotary is very anxious to lay the dust
kicked up by this rather unpleasant little
storm and find out just what the trouble
is, If any, and 1t is safe to say that action
upon Mr.. Cheatham's charges, in the shape
of rigid investigation, will have been
taken five minutes after the latter had laid
his formal allegations before the depart
ment

President McCurdy said that he was
il PEELED to resign by considerations
Of his health. The outcome of the

Mr.. McCurdy's letter of resignation
is as follows:
ITO the Board OF Trustees of the

lumber of years past, as most Of
the board are aware, have from
time to TIME expressed my intention
of relinquishing the position of pres.

compaiiy Of New York upon attaining
seventy years of age.
'In June last, when my annual
term of Office expired, having the
lIevieus January reached seventy
ears of age, 1 wished to carry out

the presidency, but the serious dis
tLrbances which previously had arls-
en- in life insurance affairs rendered
| it, as / believed, my duty to remain
at my pest.
Il therefore accepted election for
alcther year. l now find that in at
tempting to serve this company for

my physical powers and my physl-
clans advise me that unless l imme-

| further impaired as to jeopardize my
| life.
Under these conditions, ask the
board to accept my resignation as
president of the company. Very re
spectfulIy, RICHARD A. M'CURDY.
The resignation was accepted unan

FRAUD IN TOBACCO TAX.
Underva1uations Estimated to Have
Cost Uncle Sam $50, 100000.

Underva1uations Estimated to Have
Cost Uncle Sam $25,OOO,OO0.
The government is being cheated out
of more than $1,0O0,000 a year in duties
on cigars and tobacco imported from
Cuba, according to the United States
Tobacco Journal of New York City. The
Journal instances in it's last issue one
case of 1O8 bales imported through
Tampa, which now is undergoing re-ex-
animation by government agents In New
York. A large amount of duty IS IN
volved in this one transaction. Under
the reciprocity clause of the Dingley tar
if Cuban leaf tobacco suitable for wrap
pers pays $1.4S pound; all other cigar
tobacco pays duty of % cents pound.
According to the Tobacco Journal about
4OO,O00OOO clear Havana cigars were
manufactured last year in this country,
half being made at Tampa. There was
required for these cigars about SOO,Ooo
pounds of wrappers, which should have
paid $1,184,0O0 duty. The revenue re-
turns show, however, that of 19,O63'ooo
pounds of tobacco leaf from Cuba only
42,764 pounds paid duty as wrappers,
yielding $4,000. Thus the government
through evasion of duty lost $1,1oo,ooO.
The government has lost under new and
old tariffs not less than $25, 100000 duty
on Havana tobacco. According to the
Tobacco Journal the bulk of underyalua-
lions has occurred at Tampa.

GIVES ALL FOR WOMAN.
Innocent Man Goes to Jail to Save Good
Name of Another's Wife.

Innocent Man Goes to Jail to Save Good
Name of Another's Wife.
To protect the good name of a wom-
an whom although the wife of another,
he loved, a young college man virtually
has made wreck of his life by allowing
himself to be sent to jail for theft OF
which he is innocent. The death of the
woman's husband, who was wealthy
manufacturer, and a member of one Of
the most prominent families in New York
City, has caused the wife to determine
that the young man shall have Justice,
and she has told her story fully to a
lawyer, who said he would appeal at once
to Gov. Higgins for the prisoners par
don. Carl Fisher-Hansen, the lawyer
who told this story, said that on account
of the prominence of both persons in the
case he would not reveal their names at
present, although the full details will be
given when application for the pardon is
made. The woman, Mr.. Fisher-Hansen
said, had visited his office within the
last fsW days and told him that she and
the man now in Jail had been friends,
and more than year ago, when her hus-
band returned unexpectedly, he caught
the other running away. To save her
from scandal the man confessed that he
had broken into her home to steal, where
upon he was arrested and Is now in Sing
Sing serving three years term. The
prisoner disappeared from one of the
colleges when he was arrested. II will
not say what college it was" said the
lawyer. "No one has ever known what
became of him, as he was tried and SEN
fenced under an assumed name" The
woman in the case has also paid a
penalty for her indiscretion, as servant
who knew of the affair has collected $780,
600 in blackmail from her within few
years.
