sold at eighteen cents a pound. The
sale was made on the samples stored

Winchester, though the tobacco itself
is stored in warehouses in the different
counties of the Burley tobacco district
The Society of Equity people and jubi-
liant over the sale, although it is a

chasers, intend to manufacture their

Orange county had convinced the authori-

parts.
After being up all night Justice of the
Peace George Bull and Chief of Police
Henry Osterhaut received information
early yesterday morning that Pitney had
been seen on the highway near Washing
tonville.
Together with Judge Gilbert Carpenter
these officers started for the scene. Upon
reaching there they soon found that their
informant. Robert Irving, carpenter.
had mistaken an innocent farm hand for
the girls assailant.
Magistrate Bull said:
From what 1 have learned am sa It's
fed that Pitney has left the county. We
will not follow up any more wild clues
until some one is actually under arrest,
or we are sure that Pitney has been seen.
He is a very clever individual, and DO
not think that he will be found in Orange
county for many months. The only thing
to do is to keep a close watch upon his
house. 1 am sure we will apprehend him
sooner or later"
Frederick f. Smith. father OF Sarah
said:
.'If had laid hands on the rascal yes
terday l would not have hesitated to
take the law into my own hands. AS 1t
is l have advised moderation, and If Pit
ney is caught the law will be allowed to
take It's course. There Is now no danger
that he will be lynched by the good citi-
gems of Orange county"

person cannot be used for advertising or
trade purposes without consent, and the

tional a law passed by the legislature in
1908 which aims to accomplish that Sc
curity.
Before 1903 Chief Justice Alton B. Park
er of the court of appeals. in a decision
in the Rochester Folding Box Company
case. determined that such right OF pri-
vacy enforcible in equity did not exist
in this state 80 as to enable q woman
to prevent the use of her portrait for ad-
vertising purposes without her consent.
but he pointed out that the legislature
could enact a law to insure such privacy.
This the legislature promptly did.
Under this law Aida T. Rhodes sued
the Sperry & Hutchinson Company for
displaying her picture in its Manhattan
office among its premium exhibits. which
were exchanged for trading stamps. She
secured a decision in her favor prohibit
Ing the further use of her photograph
and a verdict giving her $1,000 damages.
The Brooklyn appellate division afnrmed

court of appeals. The Trading Stamp
Company fought the constitutionality OF

they provided for the morning newspa-

TAFT HAS GREAT DAY -
Yesterdays exhibition OF political en-
thusiasm attending William H. Tafts
tour in Indiana was such as to eclipse
all previous campaigns. according to the
national and state leaders who have been
with the Taft special. So great were the
crowds everywhere that even the ar
rangements Of the local committees were
overriden. Approaching the conditions
and realizing that while he might be
heard by the few, 1t was better to meet
the demand Of the many who would be
satisfied with a sight Of him, Mr.. Taft
talked less and Exhibited" more than
heretofore in the campaign. Wherever
ne spoke MS remarks were apparently
appreciated. and what he said was a
repetition of his recent speeches. This
one note, however, dominated his
thought
Indiana is surely alive to her political
responsibility, and the character OF her
enthusiasm means the success of the re-

Enthusiastic crowds greeted Mr.. Bryan
wherever his train stopped. and gather
ings that OVERLOOKED the halls cheered to

keynote of all his speeches was struck
In his first address Of the day, in Tren-
ton. where he said:
This time the President has come in
to depose the leader of the American
Federation Of Labor and to substitute
Senator Knox as the new labor leader Of
the country. I want to suggest to you
that the President may exercise the au-
thority to select the Philippine commits
