THE TYRIANT IN WHITE


cite. 1t springs from book of
that title by Henry Berman of
Philadelphia, just issued. This
book is novel, but is out-and-out
. novel with a purpose. That pur-
pose is to do all that is possible to
put the ''Tyrant in White" out of
the running. The book itself,
and discussions which it has
aroused, develops some curious
facts and some intere sting-one
might easily say appalling figures
about cigarettes.
For instance it is stated that
5,55O,OOO,0W cigarettes are con-
sumed in the United States each
year. These. would girdle the
globe l22 times.
This apparently refers to manu-
featured cigarettes only; SO what
of the hand-rolled ones? In the
West and Southwest particularly
these must exceed the manufact-
ured ones two to one. Query:
How does the cigarette smoking
world find time to do anything
else besides roll, light and smoke
cigarettes?
But the "Tyrant in White" does
not depend on statistics to make
its case. 1t is a real novel, with a
real plot. Enthusiastic reviewers
have already placed it in the class
with "Uncle Toms Cabin and
"Ten Nights in a Barroom," and
assert it will arouse sentiment
against the cigarette evil as those
two books did against slavery and
drink. 1t is the story Of "Lennie
Craigie," a brilliant boy of great
promise. As the story develops it
shows how cigarettes enslaved the
boy and wrecked his oth-rwis.

the United States district court today,
Judge Marshall fined the Union Pacific
Railroad company. the Oregon Short
Line. the Union Pacific Coal company
and J. NJ Moore, manager of the Union
Pacific Coal company, $4,000 each.
Everett buckingham, division traffic
manager of the Oregon Short Line, was
fined 81, 900.
These fines are the result of suit
against the coal company and two rail-
road companies by the D. J. Sharp Coal
company of this city who alleged that
the defendants had conspired and had
refused to haul coal previously purchas-
ed by the Sharp company. These
charges were sustained at the trial by

of conspiracy in restraint of trade and
in violation of the antitrust law.
The railroad companies have given
notice of an appeal to the supreme court

KANE GOES TO JAIL.
Will Serve Nine Months for Breaking
Into Barratt Home.

The charge of burglary which has
been hanging over Charles Kane ever
since he entered the Barratt home
two weeks ago while in a drunken
condition has been reduced to mali
cious destruction of property. Fol-
lowing the reduction he entered a
plea of guilty and was fined 81 and
sentenced to nine months in the coun-
ty Jail, the sentence being a compro-
mise as the county attorney contend
ed for one year while Captain Waters
for the defendant asked for a six
months sentence. Kane is a drug
fend, and that seems to be his worst
fault and his friends feel that a term
in the county Jail may break him OF

heard about the condition of D. L. &
n. w. or what he said to the friends
on the subject. He says he has no de-
sire to injure the standing of the COM
pany.
o. E. Hungate, the other Topeka de-
fendant in the proposed action, re-
fuses to discuss the matter.
MY only connection with this case
is that I am attorney for certain
clients who are interested in the af-
fairs of the d. L. & n. w." he said
this morning. II cannot discuss the
business of my clients, of course. I
have absolutely no personal interest

stockholders in Kansas, but does not
