THE PEONAGE TRIAL

New York. Nov. I4.-After
several witnesses had testified yes
terday in the trial OF agents OF the
Florida East Coast Railroad
charged with keeping employees OF
the company in peonlge, Judge
Hough. in the United States
Court, brought the proceedings to
an abrupt close for the day By re-
fusing to hear further testimony
until the. government had estab-
lishcd the conspiracy charge
against the defendants.
When he had listened to the eX-
animation OF witnesses who ,testi-
fed to the condition under which
large number of men were en-
gagged for construction work on
the Flagler railroad and to the
treatment given the men in the
construction camps. Judge Hough
sustained an objection of counsel
of the defnedant to further testi-
mony along these lines. saving:
1T seems that the government
is prepared to show Just two facts
One is that the Florida East
Coast Railroad Company contract
Ell with certain New York labor
contractors for men to work on the
construction OF their road. and the
other is that the conditions in
those construction camps were ex-
cc>sively unpleasant. However
much all that may be dcplored,
still it has nothing to do with the
conspiracy charge made against
these defendants.

DRINKING DOESN'T SEEM
TO Be ON THE DECREASE
Discouraging Evidence in Regard to
Prohibition Offered Before Ways
and Means Committee

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE
wave OF prohibition. which it is
claimed has spread over the cOun-
try. apparently has had little effect
on the consumption of alcoholic
liquors and spirituous drinks, &C
cording to evidence brought out at
Yesterdays hearing Of the prOpOs-
ed tariff revision. before the
House Committee on Ways and
Means.
1t was apparent. too, that the
LIQUOR interests are on the whole
we'll satisfied with the present tar
if on spirits. wines and other bcv-
cragcs. as the wine growers and
importers were practically the only
interests represented at yeSter-
days hearing. Percy 7. Morgan
representing the wine growers OF
California, claimed that under the
present reciprocity treaties with
the principal wine producing coun-
tries. alcohol diluted with wine
could be imported instead of wine
diluted with alcohol.

ken OF as the successor to John
Sharp Williams as minority lead
er on the floor of the House. was
present for the first time at the
hearings as a member of the COM
mittee. W. F. Hildrcth. of New
York, champagne expert. de
clarcd that the cost Of making
American wines was much greater
than was that Of producing French
champagne. He was telling tho
committee that only Americans
pay for the French labels, wher
Mr.. Clark remarked: There are
not a thousand men in the United
States who, after they have hat
three drinks. can tell what they
are drinking"
