COTTON SEED OIL
MEN HAVE HEARING

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-As a sub
committee of one, Senator Smoot, of
Utah, today heard a delegation of cotton
seed oil manufacturers on their petition
to place cleo stearine on the free list.
II Is now taxed at 20 per cent and the
senate bill proposes to increase the duty to
Is per cent. Among those who appeared
before Senator Smoot were L. A. Ran
som, president of the Southern Cotton Oil
company, Of Georgia, and W. NJ. McKen-
zie, president Of the Cotton Seed Crush
ers' association of Georgia. r. F. Munro
and L w. Haskell, OF New York, made
the principal arguments before Senator
Smoot.
OIeo stearine and cotton oil combined
make lard substitute palatable, whole
some and nutritious. The beef trust con-
trolls entirely the production of stearine
which Is a by-product of beef tallow.
They FIX the price. and the cotton seed oil
people claim that the duty enables the
beef trust to charge exorbitant prices for
the product, thereby increasing the price
OF cotton seed oil products. Free stearine
would mean cheaper snowdrift, cottolene
and other substitutes. they claim.
There is small probability. however.
that the duty on stearine will be removed.
Even II the product were placed on the
free list II is stated that the beef in
spection law would exclude from this
country foreign stearine because the law
requires that all beef and products of
beef be inspected on the hoof by United
States government inspectors before IL
can be sold in this country.

.ROYALISTS PLAY
JOKE ON JUDGE
"CANIELOTS DU ROY" RECENTLY
DEALT WITH BY JUDGE FOR
DISTURBANCES, PERPETRATE
SINGULAR HOAX.

PARIS. April PAN. Hamelin, police
court Judge, has been the victim OF
singular hoax perpetrated by the Came
lots du Roy" a society composed OF
Young royalists, who were recently dealt
with on account of the disturbances Iney
created. The ''Camelots du Roy" make II
their business to protect the fair name OF
Joan of Arc, and to annoy and even
castigate those professors Of history VINO
do not share their views concerning the
Maid of Orleans. They were recently con-
demned by NJ. Hamelin, and by way OF
revenge they resolved to put the judge to
considerable Inconvenience and annoy
ance. NJ Hamelin resides in the Avenue
Henri Martin. At dawn yesterday a cart
of coal arrived for the judge. The con-
cierge went to apprise the tenant OF the
fact When she returned there were no
fewer than ten men in charge Of carts
laden with all kinds of goods, which they
declared had been ordered by NJ. Hame-
lin.
At 10 O'Clock we'll dressed man appear
ed at the house. He announced himself
as an embalmer. He was politely dismiss
ed. and had not proceeded far when an
undertaken, a fruit merchant, two man
tourists, and half dozen other men pre-
scented their cards BY this time the
Judge was tired Of dismissing his callers.
and fed to the Palace de Justice. He
left orders to his concierge not on any
account to take in goods. When ne left.
vehicles continued to stop in front OF
the house. Five contained pianos, others
were laden with cod liver oil, mineral
waters, hams and vegetables. Before the
day sped exactly 800 carts had stopped at
the door. The drivers, when informed
that no goods had been ordered, were the
first to break into laughter. The Came
lots de Roy have had their joke and
their revenge at the same time, All the
same, it may go hard with them II their
offense against the law again bring them
before NJ. Hamelin. 1t will then be the
judges turn to laugh.

HIDES AND LEATHER
THEME FOR PROTESTS

CHICAGO, Ap. 24AResolutions potest-
ing against a duty on hides and leather
were adopted at a mass meeting of rep
resentatives of hide and leather fnanufac-
turers of the middle west here today.
Copies Of the protest were ordered direct
TO President Taft, Speaker Cannon and
Senators Cullom and Aldrich.
A committee was selected to go to
Washington to impress upon the presi-
dent and members of congress the dan
gers to be encountered in placing duty
on hides.
In the resolutions adopted by the leath-
er men was the following:
There are but two reasons for a tar
iff-one Is to raise revenue: the other is
to afford protection to an infant industry.
The hide tax evidently was not intended
to produce revenue and the slightest in
vestigation will demonstrate that the In
FAINT it protects has grown to lusty
Aih@A.
For some years the packers have been
gradually working the business of buying
and selling country hides so that in time
they may control the entire supply as
they now control the supply of packer
hides. With the packers in complete do
mination of all domestic raw material
for making leather and tariff to keep
out foreign hides there can be no hope
for expansion of our export trade IN
shoes and harness, which is the only SAL
walton of our business from the evils OF
over production"

SEABOARD WILL BE
SOLD JULY FIRST

According to all present indications the
Seaboard Air Line Railway company, now
in the hands of receivers, will be sold by
the United States court July 1. The re-
organization of the road will Immediately

To all appearances the Thomas F. Ryan
interests will retain control of the road.
finally winning out in the long and bitter
fight that has been waged with the John
Shelton Williams faction.
While no one connected with the road
can forecast the result of the reorganiza-
ton of the road. 1t is understood. that
in the event of the Ryan interests secur-
ing control. Chief Executive Off1cer to the
Receivers w. A Garrett will be appointed
president and the present administration
remain in office. Chief Executive Oficer
Barrett was president OF the road until
the receivership proceedings, when he
became the right hand man of the re-
ceivers. .f..---
Under Chief Executive Of1cer CARROTS
administration the Seaboard Air Line
made the most rapid Improvement In it's
history-the financial depression alone
forcing the road into the receivership. In
view of this fact and that Chief Execu-
tive Officer Garrett is an appointee of the
Ryan interests, 1t is believed that he will
be given the position of presiderfE
Chief Executive Officer Garrett was in
Atlanta Friday, as was Vice President
Sewer, but neither official would be ap-
preached upon the subject. When asked
as to the time for the road to be sold,
Chief Executive Officer Garrett replied:
THAT is a matter entirely for the receiv.
ers to discuss" rF
1t is learned. however. that the road
will in all probability be offered for sale
July 1. that it will be bought by the
Ryan interests and that the reorganiza-
ton will be Immediately begun. 1t is re-
ported from some sources that the Ryan
interests are confident of securing the
road. s...- -t..-.r
1t is understood that the receipts of the
road have shown a big increase in the
last year and that the business is such as
to make the sale Of the road possible in
July.

SELMA PLANS WELCOME
TO FLAG BEARERS

CINCINNATI, O., April ga royal
welcome is to be extended to visiting
members of the Fourth Ohio infantry
by surviving formed Confederates and
the people of Alabama at Selma, Ala,
on the occasion of the surrender of the
battle flags captured by the Ohio regi-
ment in the engagement at Selma. in
April, 1866 according to a letter from
Governor B. r. Conner, of Albania, to
John A. Pitts, of this city.
Governor Conner in his letter says that
May u when the flags are to be formally
returned is to be made a memorable one
atSelma, and urges that as many as pos
sible of the veterans attend and share in
the hospitality of the southerners.
The arrangements, he says, have been
turned over largely to the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy, who will see to
it that the occasion is fittingly celebrat-
ed 1t is probable that number from
this city and Ohioans living in other
states, will go to Selma in addition to the
regularly appointed committee.

Err HAVE THRILLING ESCAPE
FROM DEATH.

NEW ORLEANS. April z6.-Eight
people were lost and seven others on
board had a thrilling escape from death
when the towboat Eagle, of the Loulsi-
ana Petroleum company. went, down
early Sunday in the Mississippi river
about forty miles south of New Or

The accident occurred at about 4:SO
o'clock Sunday, and at the time all OIL
those who persisted were asleep. Inc &C
currence was one Of overwhelming SUD
denness.
Broke in Half ...
without seeming reason the boat began
to dip and take water, and in an instant
was going down, breaking in half as IL
sank. without opportunity OF giving
warning to their companions. all uncon-
scious of the impending disaster, those on
deck found themselves precipatately
thrown into the swift current OF the deep
channel. They succeeded IN catcrHns hOiu
of objects washed from the boat, and
managed to stay ahoat until they at
tracted attention from the shore.
Mysterious Tragedy
The sinking Of the Eagle is one of the
mysterious tragedies. the cause for which
il is impossible to advance a satisfactory
conjecture. There was no explosion OF
any kind, declare the survivors. At the
time the Eagle was conveying an oil
barge up the river. The barge broke
away from the towboat when the latter
sank.
The Eagle was a stern wheel boat, built
along the ordinary lines Of the smaller
river steamers. The boat is undoubtedly
a total loss.
At the point where II went down the
river is about 100 feet deep.
None of the bodies of those who were
drown has yet been recovered.
