Special Cable Despatch to THE Sun.
LONDON. July iO.-The action in the
United States against h tobacco trust
has considerably stirred those interested
here. Sir William Winterstoke: chairman
of the Imperial Tobacco Company. objected
in al interview to the company being called
a trust.
at is not a trust" he said. 1T il an
open and above board combination OF
certain firms who are the owners OF pro-
prietary articles which are the cream
Of the tobacco trade in the United Kingdom.
The action Of the United States Government
against the American Tobacco Company
for being a monopoly cannot. 30 far as |
see. affect our company.
I'VE have no agreement with the Ameri-
can company. at least not "a understand
the word. 1t Ia simply an understanding.
1t il by this mutual understanding that we
confine our trade to the United Kingdom,
while the American company operates
solely in the United States. Our o~rganiza-
ton is quite distinct from that Of the Ameri-
can company, and there is no agreement
between US in regard to buy.n g tobacco.
1T will be IN act of folly on the part Of the
American Government il they endeavor to
restrain US from buying tobacco leaf in the
United States. They are cutting of their
nose to spite their face. Our company
spends over ei. $50. 900 go. 25O. OOO) annually
in purchasing the tobacco leaf Of Virginia
and Kentucky. This vast sum goes directly
to the American planters. They would
assuredly raise q tremendous outcry were
this trade vetoed Even il the American
Government takes this step u position
will be secure. seeing that We have enough
tobacco leaf in stock to last US for at least
three years. As regards u operations.
we nave nothing whatever to conceal"

HiGaN'S NAN DODGING SING SING.
Can He Keep on Getting writs OF Habeas
Corpus All summer?

Daniel Sullivan. from Tammany Leader
Jimmy Hagan's district. doesn't seem
to like the idea Of life in Sing Sing. Several
months ago he was convicted in the Court
of General Sessions Of another assault,
being already under a suspended sentence
for assault. Hagan was in court when
Judge Grain Of Hagan's district suspended
sentence. Being informed that this was
illegal Judge Grain gave Sullivan a few
sympathetic words and four months.
After Sullivan had served this time
District Attorney jerome had him re-
arrested and taken before Judge Foster
on the old suspended sentence. Judge
Foster gave him not more than four years
and four months. Sullivan got a lawyer
and q writ Of habeas corpus. On Tuesday
Justice Mccall dismissed this writ. Yes
terday Sullivan got another writ from
Justice Platzek. IL will now be competent
for some other Justice Of the Supreme
Court to dismiss this writ. but even then
there ia no telling how long Sullivan will
keep out Of Sing Sing gates provided he
can find Supreme Court Justices who will
grant hin habeas corpuses. There are
ninety-siS Supreme Court Justices in the
State.

New Orleans, La, March 15.-The

the principal topic of con-
versation among horsemen for

than Oxford, but they are not so neat
or so lively. 1t is generally agreed
that the Oxford crew of this year is
very much superior to the one of last
year.
The past history of the race be-
tween the rival universities is unique
in many respects. The famous crews
have fought it out no less than sixty
three times, the first race having been
rowed in 1929. Since 1856 the event
has been pulled off regularly each year
without break. OF the total number
of races Oxford has won thirty-four
while Cambridge has secured twenty
eight, with sensational dead boat in
1877.
The first race rowed in outriggers
was in 1S45 and was won by the Cam
bridge crew by two lengths. The
earlier struggles were under the most
primitive conditions. In 1857 was held
the first race in which either univer-
sity rowed in the present style of
Fights without keel. In the same race
round oars were also used for the
first time. Sliding seats were used
for the first time in 1873. In 1S49 Ok
ford won the race on a foul, and ten
years later received another bloodless
victory, the Cambridge boat having
sunk. Twenty minutes was beaten for
the first time in 1873, when Cambridge
won by three lengths in 10 minutes,
&C. seconds. This time stodd as the
best until 1891, when Oxford won by
over two lengths in 10 minutes and
q seconds. All previous records were
eclipsed in 1898 when Oxford won by
over one length in Is minutes and AZ
seconds. Seven years later Cambridge
tied this time record.
Beginning with the race of 1890 Ok
ford won for nine successive years.
This was a repetition of past per-
Torrance, for it also had nine sue
cessive victories to its credit begin
ming with the year 1861.

ORGANIZE DAKOTA
BALL LEAGUE
TO-DAY

Season 1907 Should Be a Great
Successfully Double Num-

The second annual meeting of the

be held at White Earth, N. D., tonight,
and the board of directors and league
club representatives from Williston,
Mondak. Wheelock, Ray, Tioga, White
Earth. Ross, Stanley, Palermo, Tagus,
Berthold and Minot will attend.
The league season of 1906 was a
grand success for the first year. The
league played out the entire schedule
without a change in the clubs and
made baseball the most popular game
in that part of the country. In 1907
there is a far greater opportunity, with
one years experience to guide the
league.
BY the addition of Minot and Mon
dak, the league has been enlarged and
strengthened, and by nearly doubling
the number of games this year it
should be both financial and athletic
success.
Playing Sunday, Wednesday and hol-
tday games the league could play the
entire series from May 9Th to August
18th, using the following dates: May
s, IL, II, 10, %, 26, 30; June 2, S, 9, IL,

release of players.

charged after two trials for the killing

burg home Tuesday night for WASH

Martin is soon to join her there.
The similarity OF the ordeal Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw is undergoing and the ex-
perience of Nan Patterson caused some
interest in the question as to what
Mrs. Martin thought Of Thaw's case.
Her husband says. however, that she
has not expressed any opinion in the
matter. She has followed the case
pretty closely, but has discreetly with
held her opinions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin will shortly find
a new home where all that is past may

crusade just inaugurated to put an

in the movement and declare their in
tention of putting the matter fairly
and squarely before the next legisla-
ture. For many years the lawmakers
of Louisiana have been able to dodge
this issue, but it is likely that they
will soon be forced to declare them
selves. Meanwhile. the race track
promoters are shaking in their boots.

the Coney island champion will have
decided advantage, as Gruenwald is
at his best when down to 1O6 or 1OS

the latter is decided favorite in
