Tobacco Growers in Brown County
Fear Raids Of Night Riders.

Columbus, o. That the situation
in the hurley tobacco district in
southern Ohio is grave is the re-
port made by Adjt. Gen. Critchfield,
who returned Monday after making a
personal investigation of conditions
there. No serious outbreak is antici-
pated for at least 4S hours. A mass
meeting of the tobacco growers
across the river in Kentucky has been
called for Wednesday evening at Au-
gusta to solidify the growers opposed
to the raising of crops this year. Ohio
tobacco growers, especially residents
of Aberdeen, which is in the center
of an Independent tobacco growing
region, are greatly in fear of raids
following this meeting.
Gen. Critchfield, who conferred on
Monday with Gov. Harris and Assist
ant Attorney General Miller, declared
the tobacco growers in Brown county
were living in a state of terror and
that many OF them were worn out by
nightly guarding of tobacco beds. He
refused to disclose what action, IL
any, he had recommended to the gov
ernor, or say whether troops would
be sent there. Legal questions in
volved are now under consideration
and no policy will be decided upon
until the states powers are clearly
understood.

ROGERS ASKS FOR DAMAGES
STANDARD OIL MAGNATE DE-
MES BEING A coNsPlRAToR.
Ne Claims that the Government in
Suing Him Injured His Rep
utatlon.

Salt Lake City, Utah. H. H.
Rogers and James Stillman, named as
defendants with the Hartman and
other railroads in the merger suits
of the government filed their answers
in the federal court Monday. They
with II. H. Hartman, Jacob Schiff
and others, and the Union Pacific. the
Atchison, Topeka &c Santa Fe, the
Southern Pacific and other railroads
are charged with unlawful conspiracy
in attempting to gain control of other
railroads and restrain and control
commerce between the states.
Mr.. Rogers makes a sweeping de-
nial of every allegation and demands
that the case against him be dis
missed because he is not a resident
of the Utah district, and therefore
not within the jurisdiction of the
court. He also asks that costs be
granted him and also damages for
injury to his character by reason of
the allegations made against him.
He denies that he is or ever was
member of any body OF men who
attempted to gain control and restrain
commerce and traffic between the
states, or that he ever bought stock
in any railroad to gain control.
Rogers admits that he bought heay-
lily of Atchison, Topeka g. Santa Fe
stock, but says he did so purely as
an investment, even though the pur.
chase was heavy enough in some
cases to absorb half the stock, and
he denies that there was the slight
est intent to conspire, or gain control
to an unlawful end.
Mr.. Rogers gives as his belief,
through information and observation,
that no one of the defendants in the
merger suit had any idea of creating
a combination for the unlawful con-
troll of the Southern Pacific. He de-
MES acquaintance with all the deals
made prior to October 8, 1901, the
date he became a director and before
which time the government alleges
that all the attempts to gain control
were made. Since that time. Rogers
AYERS, neither he, Hartman, Stillman,
Kuhn, Frick nor w. A. Clark have
made in any way an effort to get con-
troll of the road.

Fewer Deaths from consumu.lon.

DR.. Fraenkel, of Berlin, in paper
recently read before the Society OF
Medicine of that city, gave striking
figures concerning the war waged by
medicine against consumption. In
1881 the death rate from this dire
disease was 1926 in every 10000, and
the latest return shows that it has,
been reduced to 1925. This satisfac.
tory state of things DR.. Fraenkel at
tributes partly to the discoveries OF
Koch, and he divides the honors
equally between prophylactic methods
and the system of isolation now wide
ly practiced in Germany.
