NEW YORK. Jan. B. 1907.


What's the outlook for 1907? This
question probably occupies for the mo-
ment the minds of the trade more than
any immediate desire for knowledge of
market conditions. To make plausible
answer to this question one need not
have the gift of seer. 1t nothing un-
forseen or unexpected should happen,
the trade may be assured of another
brisk and prosperous year. There is ab-
solutely no speck on either the political
or commercial or industrial horizon that
is likely to expand itself into cloud and
to obscure the sunshine and shatter the
toilsome contentment of the countrys
phenomenal progress. Peace reigns su
preme all over the world, and is likely
to maintain itself throughout the year.
Even the disturbance of presidential
election will not strike us before 1908,
and adverse legislation, with the excep-
ton of the remote possibility of the Phil
ippine free trade bill, is not on tapis dur
ing the short session of congress which
will terminate on March 4, next. As
under these reassurlng prospects the
consumption of the country is vouch,
safed to grow as steadily as it did last
year, and if not in an increasing, at least
in the same proportion, our cigar indus
try can reckon on further expanse and
make its calculations for another very
busy year. The relief it is undou btedly
craving for, more plentiful supply of
it's raw material, and indirectly for
lowering of it's price, is not likely to be
gratified for some months to come.
Prices of leaf are certain to be main
tanned at it's present market rate till at
least the new crops become marketable
in the late summer and fall of vhe year.
Unprecedented as 1906 was in almost
every respect, it was so, too, in regard to
the growing and curing weather which
our domestic crops experienced. Not in
the memory of our present generation
had our domestic cigar leaf crops more
favorable and beneficial weather to grow
and pen in than last year. This, then,
has produced uniformly good crop,
without too conspicuous defamation by
any of the many ills tobacco is heir to.
1t has also increased the yield per acre
age. But even more important factor
was the large increase in the acreage
production. Instead of shortage in
supply which confronted the trade in
the last two years, the 1906 crops have
yielded comfortable surplus. The pros
poets, therefore, are for an easier leaf
market and against further unlimited
advance in prices as soon as the new
crops will come into the market. Such
a prospect will undoubtedly be hailed
with satisfaction by both the leaf mar
ket and our cigar industry as it will give
the leaf trade the waited for chance of
larger volume of business and relieve the
cigar industry of the disagreeable neces-
sity of either raising the price on it's own
product or of doing an Improbable bus
mess. AS the great shortage of leaf sup
ply probably caused the most vexatious
embarrassment to the trade in it's pros
perity last year, the prospect of relief
in this direction will be accounted the
brightest spot in the outlook for 1907

EARLY GEORGETOWN
MR.. HUGH 7. TAGGART'S THEME
BEFORE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

a large and interesting audience listened
last evening at the Shoreham to d paper of
much historical value, which Mr.. Hugh r.
-aggart read before the Columbia Histori-
c.. Society. 1t was the last meeting of the
organization prior to the summer vacation,
and 1t was evident from the numbers pres
ent as well as the attention given t, tie
subject Of the evening that the work of the
society for the year was brought to a sue
cessful close.
EARLY Georgetown was the subject
chosen by Mr. Taggart. and about 1t he
clustered good deal Of the antiquarian
lore which he has gathered in the course of
the years which he has given to the study
Of the early period in that locally. At the
outset he presented view of that section
Of the country as gained from an exam-
nation of the ancient maps and spoke of the
days when the site of Georgetown was an
the entrance to the Anacostia, and the
mouth of Rock creek extended from Wind
Mill or Easbys point some distance west
on what is now Water street, and when the
masts OF seagoing vessels were seen on that
water as far north perhaps as the present
street bridge.
Mr.. Taggart spoke of the early voyagers
to this part of the country, e said that
while Capt. John Smith probably did not
get father up the river than to what is now
Colonial Beach, or perhaps Indian Hes 1.
Capt. Fieete came up to the Little Falls.
The early commercial activity of George
town was brought out, and as 1t became the
center of the tobacco business. which was
the principal one at that time. the i'm
portance of the town was established.
Robert Peter was mentioned as the pioneer
business man Of Georgetown.
Due attention was given to the patriotic
attitude of the Georgetown people at the
time of what was called the Boston tea
party" and of their action in preventing the
landing at the port of the town of a con-
signment of tea bearing the hated STAMPS.
The participation of the citizens in the
war of the revolution and the companies
of soldiers sent to take part In the struggle
for liberty, as well as a notice of a number
OF revolutionary patriots, formed not I'M
important part of the paper.
The Incorporation of Georgetown and
some glimpses of its quaint history of
followed by a sketch of the founding of
Washington and finally some of the results
when that ancient town came under what
Mr.. Taggart termed "the paternal yet
irresponsible sovereign" called the Congress
of United States.

Richardson Facetictis.

Counsel for the prosecution have shown
an earnest determination. They have not
attempted to arouse the risibilities of the
audience, or to badger a talesmen. e. r.
Richardson. counsel for Haywood. who has
80 far conducted the examination, is at
times facetious, and makes the most Of the
opportunity afforded him by ratified, ar
nervous talesman. Richardson's line of
questioning has been searching, sharp and
persistent No point in the life or relations
OF taiesman has been left W souched. His
past history is laid bare and some appar-
entity unimportant admission becomes strik-
ing before Richardson has finished. At
times In this examination there is q touch
of sarcasm, as for instance, in the aaes-
ton: You don't believe in hanging a man
just because he is a socialist. do your" To
which he invariably receives the same reply.

attitude of the people OF the state The
room accommodates. at the outside, 800
persons. Even with nearly 100 jurymen in
the room there are barely enough people
present to ill the place.

SIX YEARS FIGHT
 0h BAILEY STARTS Campaign Already Started To Defeat Bailey Ambitions
 Six Years Hence.

AUSTIN, Texas, March S-Mem- bers of the legislature and other lead ing democrats of the state who are not satisfied with the result of the investigation made of the charges against Senator Bailey, have decided not to carry out their plan of pre- senting a memorial to the United States senate asking that the charges against MT. Bailey be made the sub ject of an investigation by that body. It has been decided to let the mat ter rest for the present and devote their efforts to securing MT. Bailey's overwhelming defeat, if possible, for reelection six years from now.
 Representative W. A. Cooke, who filed the charges against Senator Bail ey and presented them before the in yestigation committee, introduced a bill in the house today to provide that every member of the United States senate and lower house of congress from this state shall, on or before January 1 of each year, file with the secretary of state of Texas a full, complete, comprehensive and itemized statement of each and every source of income, direct or indirect, received by him from every source whatsoever during thefpreyious year.

 If any member Of congress are at torneys at law, they shall set out in their statement a complete list o1 their actual and prospective profes sional employees during the succeed ing year.
 This statement must be sworn to and in case of failure to comply with the provision of the law a penalty oi $500 to 5000 and forfeiture of office is provided.

CANAL BIDDER SAYS
 LEMON HIS PORTION
Oliver Claims Was JoIIied About Building of the
 Big Ditch,

WASHINGTON, D. C., March TT have been handed very diminutiye lime in exchange for about S35, ,00O or $40, 900 of my good hard money" de- clared William J. Oliver, of Knoxville, Tennessee, in explanation Of the turn ing down of his bid for the Panama canal contract. On being asked whether he had any assurance of get ting the contract before he rushed of and incorporated the construction company and made other expendi. lures, Oliver looked contemptuously at the interviewer as he asked:
 Do I look like a fellow who would invest $40.000 in rainbows?"
 Divers friends declare that not only Oliver himself, but also four or five of his friends and associates were assured that if Oliver filled" he would get the contract.
 What more could do?" queried Mir. Oliver. T dug up the men and the dollars My bid was the lowest, and according to the terms required.
 ''It reminds me" he continued, of that spiked game of poker out west. The sucker held four aces and AIcSACN AOl NAC EOL- @NOtAlH uDiu, said one of the players. T hold a whang-doodle that takes everything you lose. You should have noticed the sign behind the table
 "The next night" said the contrac- tor, the sucker returned with a big bunch of dough- determined to get even. The game progressed, and when the table was stacked with the long green, he called:
 "T have the whang-doodle.'
 'Nothin' doin',' replied one of the gamblers. I hold four aces-you lose.'
 "T thought whang-doodle took everything said the sucker.
 oh, no. you did not read the sign carefully. You can only play whang. doodle once a week
 Well, I'm the sucker. I entered fin. to this canal game and made the lowest bid. called the administra. tion's hand, but was whang-doodled out of the job.'

JUVENILE BILL NOW BEFORE
 S0LONS
Provides For Establishing a Juvenile Court in Each Coun- ty of the TerritoD-District Judge to Preside,

The juvenile court bill has aD- peared in the legislature. It was in- troduced this week by Roemer in the council and is Council Bill No. l05.
 The bill it Is understood was drawn by Attorney F. E. Ellinwood. has the approval of Chief Justice Kent and t5e active support of Mrs. Stewart ". frencl of Douglas. president of the Arizona Federation of Women's clubs and also of the WomaE's club of Phoe- niv and many other people.
 The bill provides for the establish uent of a juvenile court in every coun- " or the territory to be presided over py the judge of the district court of the judicial district in which the coun- tY Is situated.
 The bill separates the juvenile court business entirely from the crlmlnaI business of the district court. proyid. Ing a separate docket. prohibits the confinement of said juvenile offenders with criminals or persons charged with crime. or even their conveyance from point to point in con Dany with criminals.
 The best feature of the law is that 1t places the disposal of every child offender under the supervision of the district court. While a child still may be brought into justice courts for an actual criminal offense the district court may upon petition of the district attorney stay action by said justice court or set aside an action by the court and assume charge of the case. In this case the district attorney cer- tifies that the child's interests would be best served. by the operation of the probation law.
 A justice before whom a warrant is issued for a child offender may certi- fy to the district court. the juvenile side thereof. that in his opinion :ne best interests of the child would De served by probation and then the dis trict court will act in the matter.
 In addition to the above means of getting such cases before the juvenile court the cases may be brought di- iectly into the juvenile court upon the petition of any citizen a resident of the county
 The law provides that the court may after hearing the evidence either com nit the child to the custody of it's parents under the supervision of I probation officer or may commit it to the reform school The relea SC therefrom shall be upon good be- haviour alone and shall rest with the board of control except that the gov ernoT may pardon.
 No child under twelve years may be committed to the reform school until after the operation of the prouauon law it being proved that its best fn- terests would thereby be served. Over 12 years the discretion of the court may be used.
 The law provides that where a child is placed in the custody of some one other than its parent that person be of the same religious belief. Such children may be placed with private families. private institutions or asso- citations organized for such or similar purposes or be left with parents un- der the supervision of probation of ficers.
