SENATE AGREES TO
SUGAR SCHEDULE
II Is Same as Reported by Finance
Committee-Bradley Denounces
the Tobacco Trust.

WASHINGTON. May 2s.-The sugar
schedule. as reported by the finance
committee. was today agreed TO by the
senate.
For an hour today Senator Bradley.
one OF the youngest members in point
OF service. held the senate OF the Unit
ed States enthralled with description
Of the reasons for the night riding
IN Kentucky and Tennessee: OF the
rapacity OF the tobacco trust; and or
the necessity for the repeal OF the =
per cent tariff on leaf tobacco, so as
20 enable the planters TO sell thir pro-
duct as freely as the growers OF bar
ley and hops. which go TO make beer;
or the growers of corn, rye, or wheat.
which 20 into the manufacture or
whisky.
II was one OF the most Illuminating
speeches yet delivered In the senate
on the tariff bill.
He began by denouncing the night
riders" as violators OF laws who had
brought the good name OF his state
into disrepute. "And whoever does
that" he said, ''can receive nothing
from me but the severest censure, for
I love Kentucky as every loyal son
should love IT,"
Senator Bradley then went into a
description of the American Tobacco
company; how II devoured compett-
tors; stood without rival In the Am
erican markets. and had effected a
union with the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany OF Great Britain, cutting OF all
avenues OF escape to that market or
the American raisers.
The amount of the American Tobac-
CO company stock; he said. has grown
from $26.000.000 to s500.000.000, In
GLIDING subsidiary companies and was
paying large dividends.
I'VE now appeal to you for help and
you alone can give II. II Is In the
power of congress by proper legtsla-
ton, to furnish a remedy and that
remedy In by removing all tax and re-
strictions from the sale Of leaf tobac-
CO In its natural state" he said.
The Mckinley bill, he said, gave the
farmers what they wanted. and pro-
vided proper means for tracing the
leaf GALES. 1T remained for the Dem
ocratic party to repeal this just law
by the passage of the Wilson bill,
which has been the fruitful source OF
all our VICE."

HUSBAND ALIVE
AND DEAD
Especial to The Press.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. ia Spokane
woman got a divorce from her hus-
band and now she claims he was
dead when she got the divorce and
wants to collect insurance and the
supreme court has to decide.
The woman is Tena Butler, for
merly Schneider. Mr.. Schneider
was a hard working, sober, we'll
liked employee of Spokane firm.
One day he disappeared, leaving no
trace. His family, brother lodge
members and others have searched
for him in vain for years. He is
gone as completely as though he
had been swallowed up by the
earth. He was loving husband,
had no business troubles, his bust
ness affairs were in perfect condi
ton and reasons for his disappear
ance cannot even be surmised.
The wife, after his disappearance,
was forced to offer some of the
property for sale but intending pur
chasers refused to buy because the
husband was not there to sign the
deed.
Then on the advice of her attor-
ney, Mrs. Schneider brought suit
for divorce on the grounds of de-
sertion and June 1, 1900, she Sc
cured decree.
That enabled her to sell the real
estate all right.
For years her husband had been
a prominent member of the indie
pendent Order of Foresters and had
kept up his dues until the time of
his disappearance. The dues for
February and March, 1900 after his
disappearance, were not paid and
the following month he was sus-
pended
The law says that unexplained alb
sence of a man for seven years
raises the presumption he is dead.
Mrs. Schneider waited seven
years and then brought suit to col
lect insurance from the Foresters
and when the case came up for trial
the attorneys for the lodge contend
ed that because she said her hus-
band was alive, when she secured
the divorce, she cannot now claim
he was dead at the same time.
She appealed and the case has
been argued and submitted to the
supreme court.
