JUMPS ON
TOBACCO
TRUST
Senator Payntor Vents
Spleen on pirates"
Who Keep People at
Their Mercy
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May II.
Senator Thomas H. Payntor to-
day made an appeal for the mil
lion and a half people who depend
upon tobacco growing for a live
lihood and who, he asserted, are
now at the mercy of the tobacco
trust.
'The tobacco combination is a
commercial pirate" declared the
Kentucky senator, asserting that
this statement could be proved
by the known facts.
"Night Riding Terr0rs.
Payntor told of the condition
OF the growers in dark and light
tobacco regions of Kentucky and
Tennessee and described the
events that led up to the might
riding" terrors.
1.-THE growers say that the trust
divided the districts into sections,
placing buyer in each sections, !"
he declared. 1.-THE market was
controlled and each grower was
told that he would have to sell to
the buyer in his particular section.
The buyer explained that the mar
ket was flooded and that there
was tremendous over-production,
SO that the trust could not afford
to pay what the growers consider
ed living price.
Growers Became Poor.
The result was that the grow
ers became miserably poor in
many sections and we're unable to
obtain enough for their crops to
pay the bare cost of their extreme
ly simple existence,
This condition led to the for
nation of teh growers protective
associations by which the tobacco
was held in pools and money bor-
rowed on it to pay the living ex-
penses of teh growers until the
price went up. The growers who
were bought over by the trust and
refused to enter the pools were
subjected to night attacks. Their
warehouses were blown up with
dynamite or burned and in many
instances bodily punishment was
inflicted.
By holding the tobacco in the
pools 1t was shown that there had
been no 'over-production, as the
price Immediately went up, but
the fight of teh growers was hard
and they underwent great hard
ships.
At Mercy of Trust.
PayntOr commended that even
yet they are at the mercy of the
tobacco pirates and that the
government cannot afford to dis
regard the appeal of these million
and half people for aid and re.
lief.
He urged that the growers be
given the privilege to sell their
product in tth natural leaf to the
dealers, who in turn would be
granted the right to sell it to the
consumers without the payment of
tax.

OLD STREET SIGNS
NOW COMING
DOWN

In accordance with the ordi.
nance passed last week by the city
council. prohibiting merchants
from maintaining street signs un-
less they are illuminated and un-
less they are kept lighted until
1l:30 each night, Chief Dudley has
instructed his patrolmen to notify
owners of street signs regarding
the provisions of the ordinance.
The ordinance makes it unlaw-
full to maintain sign that juts

unless illuminated. More than a
hundred signs on downtown
streets had been taken down by
noon today, and the manufactur-
ers of electric signs report a won
derful increase in business.

SPANKED CHILD
Committed Suicide by Jumping

Central City, Ky, June ia de.
plorable tragedy occurred here when
the five year old son of Mr.. S. Scott
living at the Bluff, two miles distant
from here, threw himself into a well
killing himself instantly. The child
for some misdemeanor had been
spanked by its mother, and when she
released him, he remarked,"I am GO
ing to throw myself in the we'll"
Nothing was thought of it by the
mother, who went about work, until
she was alarmed by the scream of
the child caused from his head strik-
ing the side of the wall as he crash
ed down the deep we'll. Neighbors
were quickly on the scene and re-
moved the little body from the we'll,
which had water in it, and was being
used by the family for family pur-
poses. Life was extinct, and death
must have been instantaneous as his
neck was broken. The family has the
sympathy of the entire community,

scarcely realized what would be the
consequences, thinking that he would
go to the bottom and land safely in
the water. An inquest was held by
the coroner who reported the facts
