NO HELP FOR TOBACCO GROWER
WIDER MARKET MAKES FRAUD
POSSIBLE.
Objection to Bradley Amendment
Voiced by Manufacturers-Sa
Provision Impossible.

The tobacco free leaf question was
taken up today by a subcommittee Of the
Senate committee on finance. A number
of tobacco manufacturers were heard in
opposition to the removal Of any of the
restrictions governing the sale Of tobacco
In the leaf.
The hearing was upon the Bradley
amendment, which would permit the first
purchaser to sell the leaf without the pay
ment of a tax and all subsequent pur-
chasers to make similar transfers SO long
as the tobacco was not manufactured in
any form. Tobacco manufacturers con-
tended today that this would open the
whole subject to possibility of great fraud
and also that it would materially reduce
revenues.
Similar views have been expressed by
officials OF the internal revenue bureau
Although the question has been before
Congress for many years. no one has been
able to frame an amendment which SEEM
ed to guard against one or the other of
these dangers.
Members of the subcommittee said to-
day that they would be glad to give the
tobacco grower the enlarged market for
which he asks. but they considered it to
be doubtful whether safe provision to
accomplish this purpose can be enacted.
The proposition to increase the rates of
tax upon smoking and plug tobacco.
cigars, cigarettes and snuff was discussed
further by the committee. The increased
rates proposed by the Beverage amend
ment were submitted to government ex-
perts for an estimate of the probab in
crease in revenues which the adoption
of such rates would provide.
The rough figures furnished place such
revenues a. So. 100000. which is regarded
as too great an increase to be drawn
from this one product of the soil. 1t is
probable therefore that lower rate will
be recommended.
The subject will receive the considera-
ton OF the entire committee Tuesday. 1t
is expected that an amendment will be
offered On that day.

The Knighting of Actors.

From the New York Times.
Birthday honors'' fail as thickly as
ever in England. though the day of their
bestowal is no longer the anniversary of
the sovereign's birth. June - was chosen
as a suitable day for general rejoicing in
England, because King Edward was born
in November. when the fogs are At their
worst, and rejoicing of any sort Is next to
impossible. The custom OF bestoWlng
knghthood OH actors is now ahlished.
Sir Herbert Reerbohm Tree. Sir Charles
Wyndham and Sir John Hare will inevi-
ably be joined in the lists before long by
George Alexander. Cyril Maude, Lewis
Waller and Arthur Bourchier Knight
hood for Harry Lauder, we fear, is out Of
the question. He is Scot. But he may
console himself with the reflection that 1t
was equally out of the question for Gar
rick, Kemble, Kean and Macready They
were good actors. too. but Tree is good
actor. frequently, and fairly versatile
one, a man of the world. and a good fell
low with saving sense OF humor.
The custom of knighting the actors,
which was begun with Irving, is not to
for little In England nowadays, and the
actors who have been knighted discard
the empty honor in their professional
work. So our actors need not envy them,
though they have no small titles to look
forward to- With the dramatists the case
is different. Sir Arthur Wing Pinero will
hereafter be Sir Arthur even OH the play
bills. He is the second English play
wright to catch knighthood, the author
of "Pinafore' and Patience" being the
first, as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was
made knight because he so bravely sup
ported his government with his facile pen
during the Boer war.

Rural Reverses.

From the Columbus Journal.
Ever since the world started philosophy
and wealth have been sneering at each
other. Some day philosophy is going to
get the upper hand, but that day is some
what distant. The usual argument that
philosophy relies on Is taken from the
country life standpoint. John Burroughs.
in recent interview, pressed the point
in this manner
1T does not take much money to live
in the country. Money Is good to buy
books and pictures with but it is not
needed for much else. One can live in
the country, IL his mind Is right and en-
joy the best OF books. the best Of people,
the best OF life and never be troubled
about his bank account
That Is pretty good doctrine, and we
are for every word OF it: but poor human
nature gets the philosophy frightened out
of itself. unless that little retreat is al
ready prepared and a few dollars for
emergency can be found in the left-hand
corner of the upper bureau drawer In
certainty is fate that fellow fears to
tackle.
But the main point that John Bur-
roughs makes is that riches bring ex-
citement and not contentment and that
1t is the latter man wants, and the best
place he can get it is in the country,
where the birds. and the trees and the
little snaky dells are. But to enjoy all
this, he must have a soul attuned to the
lyrics of life.

OLD CLO' DEVICES.
Schemes the Hawkers of Second
Hands Use in Their Trade.

From the New York Sun.
There Is one business in which holi-
days are the most active Gays. and that
is in the old clothes mans trade. On
certain holidays particularly he is abroad
looking for trade. That is because. as
one of them said. more people are at
home on holidays and consequently there
Is better chance to do business.
The wrinkle Of hanging around SUBJ
way stations has caught on strongly in
the trade, but there is one man who
has a variation all of his own. He puts
in a great deal of time around tailor
shops, tackling the folks who come out.
This is on tie theory that those who go
to tailor shops will have old clothes to
sell.
One man says hc feels about being
accosted by an old clothes man some
thIns as lie does when tackled by one of
the chauffeurs of the autos in Times
Square. 1T makes me think | must be
well dressed. or they'd never notice me. +"

TIDES OF PUGET SOUND.
Reach Height of 90 Feet-Danger-
Gus Stretch Of Water.


From the Tacoma Ledger.
The waters Of the Narrows, from which
party of University Of Puget Sound
students escaped through good fortune
after a boat was upset. are treacherous.
1t is place of terrible tides.
Viewed from the precipitous shores, the
surging waters are magnificent. The
scene has been compared with the Hud-
son above New York city. The waters of
that part Of Puget Sound which extends
to Olympia. Mud Bay. Shelton and Hen
derson Bay, vast inland sea within it
self, all flow in and out OF the Narrows.
In the upper reaches of the sound some
twenty five or thirty miles from the Mar
rows the tides attain height of more
to fall all the accumulated water rushes
out trough the Narrows like a great
river at food. In like manner when the
tide sets in the direction of Olympia the
Narrows become a swift and turbulent
stream. Frightful whirlpools are numer-
Gus. Streams running powerfully in con-
trary directions strike and the water
boils.
Large steamboats, struck by the con-
trary currents sroan and creak and sway
under the strain. This being so, 1t is no
wonder that small craft often overturn
in the NarroWs. A whirlpool has been
known to seize a rowboat and twist it
round and round until the roWers almost
despaired of coming out alive.
1t is marveiousW beautiful water with
all its terrors, and hundreds and thou
sands will continue to find pleasure there
Notwithstanding the summer tragedies
The rumble of the tides when running
at full is like the distant rumble of the
ocean. The terrors of the sea are an
element of Its charm, and SO 1t is with
the terrors Of the NarroWs.

KAISER NOT TO GIVE up CRUISE
INTERNAL POLITICAL SITUA-
TON TO BE HANDLED BY WIRE.
Will Leave for Northern Waters
After Meeting Swedish King at
Sassnitz July g.

BERLIN, July Sin spite of the in
ternal political situation. Emperor William
has decided to take his customary summer
cruise in northern waters, which 1t was
recently reported he would forego. There
is nothing in the situation that he can
not deal with by telegraph. He will leave
for the north after meeting the King of
Sweden at Sassnitz, July g. where the two
monarchs will inaugurate a new steam
ship line between Sweden and Germany.
Opinion in the higher political world
is settling upon one of three persons to
succeed Chancellor Won Buelow. These
are DR.. Bethmann- Hollweg, minister of
the interior. and vice chancellor: Baron
Won Rheinbaben. Prussian minister of
state and finance, and Count Won Wedel,
governor general of Alsace-Lorraine.
The report sent to America that Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambassador
at Washington, and Baron Mumm Won
Schwartzenstein. the ambassador TO
Japan, have been mentioned as possible
successors to Won Buelow, appears to
have been originated solely for American
consumption; there is no knowledge of
such rumor in responsible quarters.

VALUE OF AVENUE PROPERTY
HEARD BY CON.
DEFAMATION COMMISSION.
for Land Owners Present
Their Views-Closing Sessions to
Be Held Next Week.

At the session Of the condemnation
commission. composed of Col. George
TruesdelI. George W. F. SNartzell and
Fl. Rozier Dulany. which is fixing the
value, for condemnation, OF the five
squares bounded by Pennsylvania avenue,
the Mall, 1ith and 18th streets, to be
held next Wednesday afternoon at 2
o'clock, the closing arguments Of the at
torneys for the government will be heard
by the commission, and the hearings,
which have been going on since last De-
cember. will be practically ended. One
and possibly two short sessions may be
held later in the week to wind up all
the arguments for the property owners
and then the commission will begin the
work of determining the amount which
the government is to pay for the land.
Yesterdays session was taken up with
the arguments of three attorneys for
owners of property in the square fronting
on Pennsylvania avenue between l4th and
18th streets. Attorney Jesse Wilson, jr.,
spoke in behalf OF the Darby Printing
Company, at sos 14th street; j. j. OAR
iington appeared for the owners of the
property at the corner Of 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue. and A. s. Worth
ington argued for the Grand Opera House
Company. owner of Chase's Theater. and
Hotel. The government attorneys. Nor
gan II. Beach. A. A. Birney and d. y.
Caldwell, will be heard in answer to these
arguments next W ednesday.
Attorney Worthington in lbs argument,
pointed out that the commission has been
instructed by the court that II is to con-
slider the value of the land for the best
purpose to which it can be put, which Is
not necessarily the purpose to which it
has now been put. He pointed out the
benefits of the present site of Chase s
Theater as site for a playhouse and
asked the commission to consider the
value OF an entrance on Pennsylvania
avenue. He also pointed out the value
of the site at 18th street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue for hotel, lronting as 1t
does on d park one side, close to the
White House. the Treasury building and
the Washington Monument. and on the
other on famous Pennsylvania avenue.
The advantages of the corner of 14th
street and Pennsylvania avenue, in tn
neart of the business section of the city,
were pointed out by Attorney Darling
ton. and similar arguments we're ad-
vanced by Mr.. Wilson for the site and
plant of the Darby Printing Company.
Both emphasized the value Of these sites
from an advertising standpoint.
