The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1908-07-17

In this column few weeks ago we
lucky judge had rendered decision re-
lieving the insurance companies from
liability for property destroyed in the
night-rider raids where hundreds of
thousands of dollars we're involved.
Another Judge in the Caldwell circuit,
however, holds directly opposite, and the
question will be passed up to the higher
court for final settlement. In refer
ring to the riot clause of the policies
which was the basis of the decision of
the former judge, Judge Gorden said:
"It would seem ridiculous to hold that
! two persons could assemble to burn a
persons house in tumultous manner
and that the insurance company would
be liable for the loss, but that if on their
way third man should join them in
their unlawful tumultous conduct that
then the company would be relieved. |
think the more sensible view to take of
this matter is that view which would
distinguish incendiaries having in view
the destruction of particular property
and rioters and public enemies aiming
to strike at the established order of So
ciety. I do not see what particular rea-
son there coulds be for the insurance
company to protect itself against the
open conduct of three persons acting
riotously when it would be liable for the
| conduct of the same partiesif they acted
surreptitiously 1t is stated in the plead
| ing that the rioters supplanted the civil
authority by force and arms; but the
| damage would have been the same if
they had supplanted the civil authori-
ties by hiding from them or concealing
their intention from them and burning
the property under cover. | believe
there is something in this contention if
it were pursued to its final analysis"
Ear
The startling announcement IS made
by the department of agriculture that
there are 1000 less acres planted in to
bacco this year than in 1907. This in
formation is based on reports received
by the bureau of statistics from its field
agents up to July 1st. The decrease in
acreage is undoubtedly due to the
trouble in the Kentucky ard Tennessee
tobacco fields. 1t will be remembered
that at the close of the last season the
various organizations in those regions
! urged the farmers to cut out the 1908
crop, and the departments figures seem
to indicate that they followed the in
structions. Then, too, the intimidations
and depredations OF the lawless night
riders have no doubt been the cause Of
farmers emitting the tobacco crop this
season. The department. estimates that
on j uly lst there were 10000 acres OF
land in the United States under tobacco
cultivation; that is, 10 per cent, or $4,000
| acres less than last year. The condition
of the crop on this day is estimated at
| S6.6 per cent of a normal, as compared
with S1.3 on July l, 1907; S67 on July ],
1906 and $50 the ten-year average on
July.

ecstasy Of joy and shouts: I've got

T. jenkins Hains, who is now con-
fined in another corrider, passed his
tier and lounges around. Lawyer Jo-
seph A. Shaw, one of the attorneys
for the defense, says that II is true
that T. J. Hains was writing story

his wife. He doubts If the elder Mrs.
Hains would survive the ordeal of
her sons being placed on trial for
their lives.
