SUIT AGAINST DEAD MAN
COLLINS, ONE TIME PENSION
AGENT, LEFT OFFICE uN-
DER A CLOUD

Washington, Mar. Special
Uncle Sam is the plaintiff and VI
liam T. Collins, deceased, the defend
ant of a suit brought today. Collins
was at one time pension agent for
the District OF Columbia and left
behind him a shortage of $i9,525.0G.
The suit has been pending 1or over
thirty years.
The title of the suit is The Uhitcd
States vs.. William T. Collins The
present action is to collect from the
executors of two of the eigh. Of
Collins sureties the amount that an
investigation showed he was short.
Collins was pension agcnt for the
District Of Columbia from 1869 70
1872, and left office under a cloud.
Succeeding investigation showed he
was short s49,525.O6. He was
promptly sued by the government.
He left the jurisdiction and eyaded
throughout life service of papers by
deputy United States marshals.
The government instituted suits
against his sureties who had gone
on his bond of 100000, but never
realized anything from six of them,
and finally sued the surviving two
sureties, Robert Boyd ana wan
II. Slater both now deceased.
The case went to trial \ YER
dict was in favor of Boyd aul Sla
ter but the trial judge granted a
new trial. At the second .ial the
Jury returned a verdict again in IA
vcr OF the two sureties. When the
case was taken TO the court of ap
peals, however, the verdict was re
yersed.
The case for some years has ap
parently been forgotten, but it will
be revived by the suit instituted
today
The suit names George w. Evans
disbursing clerk of the interior de
partment, as the executor of the
estate of Robert Boyd and George
L. W. L. Slater as the parties in
their capacity as executors who
should make good the shortage.

there was active inquiry for Zimmers,

of year ago have not been approximat-

that confront the dealers, there is a more

NEW YORK. May 9, 1908


The depression in the leaf market
ought soon to give way to steady re-
covery. For the returns of the stamp
sales for the month of April in the chief
cigar producing districts of the country,
such as the Metropolitan districts, the
First and Ninth of Pennsylvania and the
First of Ohio, show an encouraging i'm
provement in onr cigar industry. Not
that the output has reached already the
respective figures of the output of last
year, but its falling off is diminishing,
which in itself is good sign of an in
creasing demand denoting prospect of
return to more normal conditions.
This, of course, means also more active
demand for the supply of the raw mate
rial. A further most hopeful sign for
renewal of brisk trading in the market
is the fact that nearly all of the 1907
Wisconsin aud Pennsylvania crops has
been lifted out of the hands of the farm
ers by the American Cigar and its affil-
lated companies. The trade will there
fore have to fall back for its binder sup
ply an the 1906 Wisconsin and for its
BIS on the 1906 Pennsylvania.
The elimination of the 1907 low grade
crops will have tendency of arresting
a further cut IN tn6 price OF the l5Uo
crops And this will put market in
better hun4or and in stronger position.
The bargain days of the market are evil
IDENTIFY over, and he who did not take ad
vantage of the advice of the~ United
States Tobacco Journal, given during
the pastfew weeks, to the effect that the
low prices of leaf have reached bottom,
is likely to get left now. Even the Ha-
vana market, which probably had suf
fered more in consequence of the panic
and bad crops, is rising in strength now
and showing a tendency of upholding
firmer prices. The market in Cuba at
least is recovering from its long endured
depression AS for the Sumatra market,
the prospects for any cheaper leaf have
been blasted by the result of yesterdays
inscription, which is embodied in a spe-
ciaI cable published in another place
Journal.

LANCASTER, Ia, May y, 1JUos
The most surprising matter connected
with the new leaf tobacco crop of Ian
caster county, now practically sold, is
the short space of time in which it was
bought up after the buying began, a per-
iod of less than three months. The local
packers held off buying as long as posi-
BILE, but were finally forced into it by the
active buying of the agents of the Amer
ican Tobacco Co., who bought heavily.
Nobody can tell just how many cases
they have gathered in. great deal
was bought by local packers, who were
supposed to be buying for themselves,
instead of which they were buying on
commission for the trust Probably half
the crop has already been delivered. A
good deal of that bought for the trust
was shipped away without ever going
into local warehouse, and it went un-
cased. The bulk sweated tobacco will
be ready for the market in couple of
months, and there is no little likelihood
that it may come into competition WITH
1906 goods The latter has been going
very slowly lately, and the only sale
worth recording last week was one of
fifty cases by j. w. Brenneman. Even
inquiries we're scarce last week.
The cigar trade continues to show
signs of improvement, as is shown by
mparison of the revenue receipts OF
district on cigars for April with the
March receipts.
The seed beds appear to be doing
nicely, and there is every reason for be-
lieving the plants will be set CIT o1~iy

Every day brings large quantities of
bundle tobacco to Viroqua, the high
ways, all directions, being lined with
vehicles burdened with the weed. A
good portion of deliveries is cased and
shipped to outside packing points. Our
warehouses are working all the help to
be obtained, and that is the rule at
Readstown, Soldiers Grove, Westby
Coon Valley Stoddard and elsewhere in
nearby towns.
There has been animation in buying
the past mouth and not so very many
CROPS are left unbought as might have
been expected two months ago, when in
fact there was no demand for goods.
Prices are also better, ranging from five
to eight cents. Censor.
