PIPE SMOKERS USE
 HALF OF TOBACCO
STATEMENT IS MADE BY VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS OF AMERI- CAN TOBACCO COMPANY IN THE GOVERNMENT SUIT.

New York. January 12-Pipe smokers consume more than half of all the tobacco grown in the United States. according to statement made today by Vice President Harris of the American Tobacco com pany. while testifying in the govern ments suit against the company. MT. Harris said the American Tobacco com- pany has never tried to obtain a foothold in the plug tobacco trade in Canada, as the interests now in control of that mar ket appeared to be too soldly entrenched.
 George P. Butler, formerly of the But Ter & Butler company. which was pur- chased by the American Tobacco com pany, said that of his own volition he had signed an agreement not to go into business in this country again in fifteen years. Mir. Butler said that in the year and half in which his company op- erated independently it's business was very profitable. Asked if an independent concern could succeed today with existing opposition, he replied that it could easily succeed if it were properly managed and had sufficient capital.
 MT. Butler told of the various brands turned over by his concern to the Amer ican Tobacco company, many of them popular brands of cigarettes and smoking tobacco.
 MT. Butler before concluding his testi- mony, told of the Golden Belt Manufae- turing company, a New Jersey corpora tion, with a capital of $7O0,000, 93 per cent of which was owned by the American company The corporation had a contract with the American Supply. company, he said, to furnish it with thesbags used by the American company in the marketing of smoking tobacco. The contract, made
 in 1904, for five years, fixed the price of the bags in accordance with the quota tions on raw cotton. Some idea of the immense number of cotton bags used in marketing tobacco can be gained by the fact the witness stated that 454,00O GOO bags were used in 1907
 The examination will be continued.

ARGUMENT IN RAILROAD CASE

enactments of the legislature. Sup pose-now, I don't mean to say l will do it-but suppose that l held that the Central Trust company as owner of the bonds of the Central of Georgia could not properly move in this case?" said Judge Jones.
 Tt is part of my business down here to convince your honor that the Cen tral Trust company has such a right, said Senator Spooner, smiling.
 What 1t Is All About.
 The litigation runs back almost year when, after the passage of number of rate and regulation acts at the first ses- sion of the legislature, the railroads se- cured injunctlons to prevent their en- forcement, such injunctons being out of the United States court here, Judge Thomas G. Jones presiding. At first, al; of the rail lines were in the movement and all parties to the suits. Later. how ever on agreement with the governor and members of the railroad commission, all but the Louisville and Nashville, the Gen. tral of Georgia and the Western of Ala bama with allied lines, withdrew.
 At first those roads which withdrew did so with the agreement that the rates were to be put in pending the adjust ment of the litigation, remaining to that
 
 followed. however, by the same lines go- ing further and agreeing to withdraw suits and establish the new rates With out reference to the court status AS a result every line in the state, save of the three systems mentioned as fghti8g, has made passenger rate of 2la cents a mile and lowered the freight charges to the figures in the legislative acts To- day the new as well the old laws are being resisted by the three systems noted, which are charging , cents a mile for passenger travel and the old rates of freight.
 The New Statutes.
 The laws sought to be resisted in the supplemental bills are those passed at the last session of the legislature. At this session, an extra one, the old laws upon which the first suits were filed were re- pealed At once the railroads filed appli- cation for an order restraining sheriffs, solicitors or other officers from in any way attempting to enforce the acts. and also extending the order to individuals This order was given. pending the hear ing that is to be opened up in the morn ing.
 It is the crucial test of the legislation of the recent sessions and the policy of the Conner administration to reduce rates and extend control of the state on the traffic line of the commonwealth. The result of the hearings before Judge Jones, in any event. will go to the su- preme court of the United States, so that 1t will be along time probably two years, before the question of the reasonableness of the rates made and regulation offered is worked out In the meantime the roads that are fighting Will keep on the old rates and enjoy the fruits thereof if in the end they win. The other roads will lose in any event the difference ip what they are getting and what they might get in the end.

THIS MAY REQUIRE A LITTLE
ATTENTION..

An effort Is to be made by the New
Orleans Board of Trade to induce the
secretary Of war to make calls in New
Orleans for such articles for con5ump-
ton by the Cuban army As can best
he secured at that place. and. II ne
cassary, to send transport there to
carry such articles to CUBA. Such an
effort already has been unsuccessful.
but the directors of the Board OF
Trade of the Louisiana city have de-
cided to try again.
This may not mean great deal. but
1t would be well for the Chamber or
Commerce and Merchants Association
to give the matter a little attention,
and see that Newport News does not
suffer for lack of looking after her
own interests.
At this time, the war department
asks for bids for all staples for the
army in Cuba I. o. b. the army trans
port at this port. Consequently a
large part of all the supplies carried
by the transports are furnished
through Newport News merchants,
giving them business that has prov
en- valuable.
If New Orleans Is to be allowed
special transport line in order to sell
supplies for the army in Cuba, then
Galveston, Mobile. Savannah, vii.
mlngton, and all the rest might as
well put In a claim for the same privi-
lege. This probably Is the view the
war department will take OF the mat
ter, and. while it is proper that the
local CONNIE rcial bodies should stir
around and keep in touch with the
situation. it Is hardly proGaDie that
the New Orleans movement will do
us any harm.

SOMEBODY SEEMS TO HAVE
BEEN pREvARIcATING.

Secretary Loeb Is out with an OH
cial statement from Oyster Bay TO the
effect that Captain Hobson must. OF
course, have been misquoted" when ne
said at Denver that the President OF
the United States had declared In his
presence that war between this coun'
try and Japan was probable. Further
the White House 'squidge" asserts
that the President has never said any
thing resembling In the remotest de-
gree the statement attributed to Cap
tain Hobson.
Now all of this might have sounded
very well If Captain Hobson's refer
epce to the Presidents war talk hao
appeared in an interview had by
single correspondent and published III
one newspaper. But Captain HoOs"n
statement was made in a speech de-
,iyered before thousands at the Demo
cratic convention. and was quoted ps
hundreds OF correspondents in as
MANY newspapers. Therefore 1t Is
more than ordinarily safe to say tha'
no misquoting has been done.
, And consequently there Is n" roo"
for doubt that somebody has been pre-
yaricating.
Just who has qualified himself t''
