President LeBus was receiving
clad hand on all sides and from the
smile worn by him it was not neces-
sary for one to ask him his opinion
of the result of the sales. When
asked by a News reporter how he
liked the result, he declined to say
anything more than that he enjoyed
the fight as much as he did the VIC
tory.

On Some Conditions.

1t was also stated that the indie
pendents would be required to buy on
the same conditions as the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, that is to
take the same amount of one grade
that they do of another. This ar
rangement did not suit the independ-
ent buyers as there are some grades
that they cannot use at all; and ac-
cording to that arrangement they
would have to take some grades that
they could not use at all and further
time was asked by them until 4
o'clock to put in their bids which was
granted them.

Tie biggest sale of tobacco that
has ever been made in this country
was brought to a close Tuesday night
N this city, when the American To-
bacco Company and number OF
Independent manufacturers took over
the entire holdings of the Burley To-
bacco Society which fncluded the re-
mainder of the 1906 crop and all of
the 1907 crop. at prices that were
in excess Of what the most sanguine
promoters of the society ever believed
they would get when the society was
first organized
For a time it looked as though the
independent buyers would get shut
out of the deal entirely. There was
only % per cent of the tobacco to
be divided among them the other rs
per cent going to the American To-
\ bacco Company, and in order to get
as much of the tobacco as possible
it was alleged by the independents;
that the American Tobacco Company
had several subdiary companies
here for the purpose of getting in
on the remaining 25 per cent as in
dependent manufacturers and ge
pa.t of it and then turn it over to
the American Tobacco Company.
Some Indignation.
This caused the independents to
become verv indignant apG they were
asserting that thew were being dis
eliminated against in favor of the
i-melican Tobacco Company. The
INDIGNATION grew to such proportions
that Monday night, they held meet
/, ing, at which resolutions were adopt
I ed calling upon President LeBus and
the Burley Society Executive Com
mittee to issue an order barring the
American Tobacco Company, and its
subsidiary companies and represent
atives alleged to be here for the pur-
pose of buying the pooled tobacco,
from offering bids. The resolutions
also asked that everv person buying
tobacco be required to state for
when he was acting. so as to be sure
that the American Tobacco Company
was not bidding, as it had been stat
ed that the Trust would not be al
lowed to compete.
This resolution was presented to
President LeBus and the Executive
Committee and was emphatically re-
fused. This refusal strengthened
the belief of the independents that
they were being Disseminated
against.
At nine o'clock Tuesday morning,
the samples stored in the warehouse
here were opened FOR inspection.
After the buyers had arrived at the
EQUITY building, President LeBus an
nounced the terms of the sales. All
orders, he stated, must be in by two
o'clock or they would be barred. All
prospective buyers were requested
to inspect the samples and then file
their bids. Any one buyer could buy
one per cent. of the crops or the n
tire twenty per cent, if he so
desired. At two o'clock President
LeBus stated all bids would be placed
in tin box, which he called ballot
box, but stated that it would not be
Stuffed"

Sound Deadened by Foliage.

ut is well known fact that sound
carries better in an open area than in a
forest, for the same reason that voices
assume louder pitch in a bare room
whereas the same pitch of voice will be
comparatively moderate in a we'll furnish
ed room. The trees and foliage of the
parks serve in the same manner to deaden
and subdue the volume, to say nothing of
the range, of band Moreover. in the
event that a storm comes up during the
course of a concert the musicians are
usually soaked before they can gain
cover. 1t is to be deplored that the Dis
trict government has been SO remiSS in
this matter and it Is hoped that in the
future In conjunction with their extensive
improvements some movement will be
made to correct this shortcoming, an i'm
provement of which means so much to the
men directly concerned
Along the lines of Lieut.. Santelmann' s
remarks it is engaging to notice the eff
feet of various kinds of music upon the
crowds in attendance at one of these con-
certs.
Said critic on this point: Let the

which is heard Whstled by the average
