SUFFERED DAMAGES
Independent Tobacco Men Could Get
No LicOrlce From Trust

Cincinnati, April 9-Testimony was
heard before Special United States
Commissioner E. X. Bruce here to-
day in the suit of several so-callen in
dependent tobacco companies against
the American Tobacco company for
100000 damages.
The plaintiffs claim that by reason
of the control of the traffic in lico-
rice in 1903 and 1904, they were un-
able to get licorice at any price with
out signing an agreement with the
]. S. Young company to buy it at a
price above its actual value, that
without licorice they could not manu-
facture the kinds Of tobacco they
were engaged in making and that by
reason of the excessive price they
were compelled to pay they suffered
damages to the extend Of $4,000, for
which they demand compensation Of
100000 under the terms of the law.
The hearing was concluded late in
the afternoon. The suit Is attracting
great interest all over the United
States, for upon its issue several 9TH
er suits against corporations alleged
to be in restraint of trade in viola
tion Of the Sherman antitrust law
are said to depend.

CENSUS BILL
Measure Reported in Senate for I'm.
lucky Enumeration of People.

Measure Reported In Senate for I'm.
lucky Enumeration Of People.
Washington, April "a bill to pro-
vide for the enumeration of the thir-
teenth and subsequent censuses was
today reported to the senate by Mr..
LaF'ollette, chairman of the commit
tee on the census who stated that he
would ask the senate to consider it
tomorrow.
Several resolutions calling on the
secretaries of state, of agriculture
and of commerce and labor for infor-
nation concerning duties on sugar
were adopted.
In the house the bill was drawn to
practically meet the views of former
President Roosevelt, who vetoed the
census bill as passed in the last ses-
sion because 1t failed to meet his
views regarding examination of ap.
plicants for positions in the census
work. AS reported to the senate the
bill is regarded as more strictly en-.
forcing the merit system. The direc.
tor of the census may specially ap-
point temporary employees but his
power to appoint experts who have
served in former censuses is limited
to those who operate mechanical ap.
pliances.
Confirmation by the senate is re-
quired in the case of appointments by
the president of $50 supervisors, the
house bill not requiring such confir.
nation. The bill reduces the salaries
Of the chief officers of the census
from the director down. the reduc-
tions being generally $500 each. The
subsistence allowance for special
agents is reduced from four to three
dollars daily.
In the census taking persons un-
employed are required to state the
number of months of such unemploy-
ment during the previous calendar
year and whether employed at the
date of enumeration. Occupants of
farms are to state their nativity. The
returns will show the acreage of wood
land and the character of timber on
each farm. and for turpentine and
rosin. the quality and quantity. amount
marketed and how the business is con-
Quoted. This will amount practically
to an investigation of the turpentine
and rosin industry and was placed in
the bill upon motion of Senator Talia-
ferro of Florida.
Appointment of administrative Of
ficers is placed directly under the
director Of the census without super
visory power on the part of the Sec
retary of commerce and labor as pro-
vided in the house bill.

never convicted of the robbery itself,
was found guilty of stealing the horse
and buggy that carried the robbers
away from the scene of the hold-up.
Short never entered the penitentiary.
He died while an appeal from the
Judgment was under way.
1t may be that Crooks is at error, as
In several other minor details Of dates
due largely to the time that has
elapsed since the crime and to the
fact that his sources of information
have been meagre.
Great Northern overland express
train No. 9 left Seattle at $3.50 on the
evening Of October ., 1905. Twenty
five minutes later it was stopped at a
point half mile west of Mile Post
No. 10, about five miles north of Bal
lard. and three robbers blew open the
strong box and obtained about $500
for their efforts.
On the day following the robbery.
the Great Northern Express company
through its local Office offered re-
ward of $4,000 for the arrest of the
robbers. Three days later the general
manager increased this amoHnt to s5,-
600 on each man, when Governor AL
bert E. Mead added $1,000 in the name
of the state.
The present prosecuting attorney
In the same Office represented the
state against Short and speaking of
the case last evening, said:
Short was never convicted of the
train robbery, but there was never
any doubt III my mind, or in those of
the people who followed the case,
that he was member of the party.
he simply escaped trial on the rob-
Dery charge because nobody about
the train had seen more than one rob-
Der. The man who had boarded the
engine was apparently the only one
that could be identified.
Bill Miner Suspected.
In all that followed the train rob-
berry and the excitement that attended
many suspects were mentioned, in
Guiding Bill Miner. a notorious char
acter who had spent twenty-five of
his sixty years in prison. About
year ago he escaped from the New
Westminster. B. c.. Jail, where he
was serving sentence for robbery.
Another suspect was Red" Nc
Carty, who, Lem Short declared, was
with him several hours before the
train was held up.
But the third mans identity was
never disclosed. and it appears now
that Charles H. Crooks. alias Harry
Miller, claims the distinction.
City Detective Frank w. Clark has
discovered that Crooks. or Miller, was
actually in Seattle about the time in
dicated in his confession, although
the latter is slightly mistaken in some
details.
The ship Dunnstaffnage cleared
here Nov. Is. 1905. and sailed Nov. 19
