TO PREVENT TOBACCO FRAUDS.
Appraisers Directed to Make More
Careful Examinations.
[From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Nov. BIN furtherauce Of
the policy or the Treasury Department 10
provide against fraud In the administra-
tion of the customs law. appraisers AT air
ports have been directed TO be more dill
gent in their examination OF imported
tobacco. Unstemmed filler tobacco when
mixed or packed with more than Is ner
cent OF wrapper tobacco is classed "a
wrapper tobacco. and is dutiabls at 81 S. a
pound. while unstemmed filler tobacco is
dutiable at S5 cents a pound
IL Is the practice of the appraisers To
examine 10 per cent OF the bales In tobacco
shipments and to assess the duty on the
basis OF this examination. In order to
prevent fraud against the revenues. the
Treasury Department has directed that
where the examination dicloses that there
Is more than l per cent of wrapper tobacco
In bale listed for entry as filler tobacco
the examiners shall examine more than 10
per cent OF the shipment before assessing
duty on the entire cargo
IL is understood that while no special
complaint of fraud by tobacco importers
has been made. the department feels that
this precaution against possible fraud
should be taken. AS the difference In the
duties on filler tobacco and wrapper tobac-
co Is 81 20 a pound. II was believed worth
while TO require customs officials to make
II absolutely certain that tobacco which
ought 10 pay 81 s. pound Is not imported

Anger at Democrats Who
VOted for Cannon Rules.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau

TFrom The Tribune Bureaul
Washington, Nov. 13.-There is reason 10
believe that a resolution will be introduced
in the Democratic caucus Immediately be-
fore Congress convenes to expel from the
meeting all those Democrats who voted for
the Cannon rules at the beginning of the
special session. Several Southern Demo-
cratic Representatives already in Washing
ton are discussing the proposition, and the
opinion is unanimous among them that
some drastic action should be taken.
Twenty-three Democrats formed the bolt
ers. Most Of the New York delegation
were among this number. besides several
from Massachusetts and about one-half the
Georgia delegation. II is doubtful II such a
resolution will be adopted by the caucus,
but it's introduction will undoubtedly serve
further TO widen the breach between the
two factions.
II is certain that a resolution will be
passed pledging the Democratic members
to put forth all their strength TO bring
about an investigation OF the charges made
against Speaker Cannon by Representative
Herbert Parsons. Several Of the more con-
servative Democratic leaders will protest
against such an investigation. for they feel
that II an investigating committee found
the charges false the Speaker would re-
ceive a clean bill OF health and his power
would be increased

The assistance given the farmers OF the

not confined TO any locality. AS an instance

PRESIDENT RETURNS.
Tramp Arrested IN His Car at

Washington. Nov. I3.-President Taft ar

Sloan said a few polite things TO the
tramp. who at first said he was a brake
man on the New Haven road. This was
denied by the train crew. and at Bridge
port the man was handed over to the po-
lice. The President in the mean time was
asleep in his stateroOm at the rear Of tho
car. in ignorance Of the excitement.
The Presidents train arrived here ff-
teen minutes late, the delay being caused
by the bursting OF the pipe connecting the
MayfiOwer with the car ahead of II. An

An amusing and true story is relat-
ed of Queen Sophia of Naples after
she and her husband were obliged to
leave their kingdom and took up their
residence in Rome. The ex-king and
ex-queen lived in palace close TO
that occupied by the mother OF Car
dinaI Antonelli, the then papal secre-
tary of state. The old lady had great
weakness for cats; she was devoted to
them, ana kept great number OF
feline favorites, who made night I'M
bearable with their moonlight con-
certs on the dividing wall between the
two palaces, which was close to
Queen sopLia's bedroom. The queen
found the situation intolerable, and
made numerous frenzied complaints to
Couwtess Antonelli, which were utter
" ignored by the noble cat fancler.
Her majesty finally became desperate
through want of sleep, and purchased
a small rife with which she kept up
a fusi1lade against every cat that ap-
ueared on the wall Day By day the
Antonellf cats grew beautifully less,
and at last the entire colony disap'
