"Many people. presume, wonder
why the dark tobacco growers and
Society OF Equity are so vigorously
protesting against buyers in the field
contracting for the crop before It IS
grown" remarked an officer of the
Dark Tobacco Growers association
to-day, "and at first glance II might
appear that this strong competition

Is just what the planters are after.

THREE INDIANS
KILLED IN FIGHT
WITH SOLDIERS

Washington, Nov. In a battle
between United States troops ana
Indians, which occurred in Southern
Utah several days ago, three persons
were killed and another wounded, all
believed to have been Indians. The
news of the occurrence was conveyed
to the Indian bureau in a telegram
from superintendent shelton, of the
San Juan agency, which, thought
dated yesterday, was not received
until today.
The army command consisted OF
four officers, seventy-four men and
three Indian scouts.
The Indians taken into custody are
part of a band of Navajos that has
been making trouble on the Navajo
reservation in northwestern New
Mexico and northeastern Arizona.
For some time a number of Indians
under the leadership of Byllie hav.
been creating disturbances because
of their disinclination to observe the
regulations of the Indian office and
their efforts TO prevent others of the
tribe from doing so.
Superintendent Shelton made a re-
quest that body of soldiers be sent
to the reservation, and accordingl,
Troops / and X OF the Fifth cavalry,
under command OF Capt. II. o. VIII
lizard, were dispatched from Fort
Wingate, n. NJ, to Anetha, Utah.

OFFICERS CAN NOT
PREVENT VOTING
IF VOTER SVEARS

The true inwardness of the num-
erous challenges of voters made by
the local Democratic machine, which
will cost the taxpayers something
more than $500, becomes apparent as
the residences of the challenged vot-
ers are studied. They are located in
precincts, in which the Democrats
have the election officers. The
scheme of the workers Is based on
an erroneous idea OF the law. and
Glenn Whittemore should have better
posted himself. These voters were
challenged and then the officers made
return on the notices mot found >"
On that return, behind which the
the court for obvious reasons cannot
go, the court ordered the voters
marked doubtful" All doubtful
voters. and, in fact, any other voter,
for that matter, may be made to take
oath as to his right to vote at the
polls election day.
Now the idea of the machine gang
was, that the judges and election Of
fcer might prevent any doubtful"
applicant from voting even after he
had taken the prescribed oath, and
they challenged voters in precincts
in which there is a Democratic cleo
ton officer. in order that If the Demo-
cratic and Republican judges should
deadlock on the question of permit
ting a man to vote, the sheriff could
decide. and thus some zoo voters
would be DISTINGUISHED by the arbi-
trary action of the officers.
But, unfortunately for the gang,
and fortunately for the voters. the
election officers have no right to de-
prive a man of his vote. They may
compel him to make oath. but after
that he must be allowed to vote
This was the last hope of the ma
chine crowd, and it is said that no
less authority on what is going on
than Harry Tandy, told it.

Auditor Hager Had Strenuous Day in Livingston
County, And Could Not Stir Up Much Enthusiasm

Accidents, delays and rough riding
are marking the closing days of Au-
ditor Bager's campaign in western
Kentucky, and circumstances CON-
PEELED the cancellation Of a date at
Hampton, Livingston county.
Judge Hager and Arch Dunlap, of
the Oourier-Journal, arrived in Pa
ducah this morning on their way to
Hopkinsville to fill a date tomorrow.
Leaving Smithland Wednesday
they rode overland TO Calvert City
and took a train to Eddyville, arriv-
ing two hours late. They expected
to return the same way, and after a
45-minute speech, Judge Hager was
Informed his train to calvert was 10
minutes late. lie gave himself three
minutes to catch 1t, but the train was
only eight minutes late and they
missed it.
A wire to Louisville secured per-
mission to ride through freight to
Calvert. They got there late. the
ferryboat on the Tennessee delayed
them by striking bar, and trace
broke climbing a hill toward Smith
land. IT was after o'clock last
night when they got TO the capital of
Livingston.
The itinerary called for another
ride to Hampton to speak today,
and a drive to Marion, where they
would take a train for Hopklnsville,
but it was too rainy this morning and
the date was cancelled just in time
for the candidate and newspaper man
to catch the boat for Paducah. From
here they will go TO Princeton and
then to Hopkinsville.
From Hopkinsyille Judge Hager
will go home to He has
not registered and Will lose his vote.

suggested are, first, TO permit agree
ments between railroad corporations on
reasonable freight and passenger rates,
subject to the approval of the Interstate
Commerce Commission; and, second, as
the next step in executing the will of the
people to secure Justice and equality of
opportunity for ALL the creation of a
non-partisan commission in which the
interests of capital, labor and OF the gen
eral public shall be represented. This
commission should be empowered to deal
with the whole subject of business and
labor combinatio and report such plans
for the formation and regulation of cor
porations as shall preserve individual in
itative, competition and the free exercise
of a free contract in all business and in
dustrial relations" In connection with
this law the Civic Federation urges that
legislation should modify the prohibition
now existing against organizations of la
Dor. associations of farmers and combi
nations of capitalists whose business is
in the public interest. The proposed
commission should make a thorough in
quiry into the system of federal license
for interpretations of Interstate concerns
The inspection and supervision of great
producing corporations should be enlarg
ed and extended and complete publicity
in the capitalization and operation of all
such corporations large enough to have
monopoliStic influence should be required
No expression was thought fitting on the
conflicts between State and federal au-
thority, pending the final decision Of the
Supreme Court on this subject.

GOLD III A RECORD TRIP.

Lusifania. with $12,0OO,OOO on
Board, Clips Her own Time.
Carrying a cargo OF $4,000, 900 in gold
for American, banks, the Cunard turbiner
Lusitania arrived in New York, after
having beaten its own record for time
across the Atlantic. The west-Dound trip
had been made in + days IS hours and 10
minutes. The vessel has beaten the rec
ord by one hour and twelve minutes.
incidentally the Lusitania added sew
eral new records to her credit. These
include the best single days run-61S
knots, made Nov. Can average of more
than 800 knots for every full day and an
average hourly speed of 24.25 knots for
the full 2.7S1 miles.
The former western record of the tur-
biner. completed Oct. II last. was days
10 hours - minutes. The average speed
on that trip was 24 knots IN hour for
the distance of 2.7S1 miles. The best
days run was 61T knots.
The S12,0o0.000 brought by the Lusi-
tania is the largest amount of gold ever
carried in a single ship, and it gives the
Cunarder another worlds record.
To stop the flow of gold to America the
directors of the Bank of England have
advanced the discount rate to Z per cent.
This is the first time since 1873 that the
rate has been at this figure. The Bank
OF France also increased its discount rate
