SAYS TOBACCO TRUST
CAUSED NIGHT RIDING

sum of money was borrowed in New
York. The members were advanced
a small per centage on the tobacco,
which was placed in warehouses and
held in the pool.
The trust, in order to break the
pool, and defeat the purpose OF the
organization, is alleged to have gone
through the district and offered high
prices and bonuses to certain grow
ers to work against the pool and turn
over the crops to the trust.
The leaders of the organization ar
gued against violence, but they said
that the growers, WHO were ragged
and half-starved, through years OF
failure to make cent on their
crops, looked upon the action Of any
grower in selling out to the trust, in
the light OF treason. The bitter
ness OF the fight, which the growers
considered a battle for existence, led
the more radical men to take mat
ters in their own hands in certain In
stances. In this way II is charged
by the growers that the might rid
ing" was due TO the methods OF the
trust. in cornering the market, and
forcing the price down below a civ
ing value"

Washington, May 2S.-A severe
attack on the tobacco trust was made
by Senator william o. Brady, OF
Kentucky, today when he made a
strong plea for repeal of the scent
tax on leaf tobacco, in order that
growers of tobacco might sell their
produce as freely as the growers of
barley and hops, which are used to
make beer.
Bradley described the "rapacity of
the trust" and asserted that the
might riding" in Kentucky resulted
from commercial conditions forced
by the American Tobacco Company.
He declared that the trust "devoured
its competitors" until it controlled
all the markets and forced down the
price of tobacco In many instances
below the cost OF production.
He declared that the growers, In
self-defense. formed an organization
which included 10000 members in
Kentucky. They conceived the idea
of pooling their product and holding
Il until the unavoidable, persistent
demand should force good prices, and
the trust would be compelled to pur-
chase at a fair value, In order TO sup
ply its customers.
The plan was worked out. A large

suffering from the same mysterious
disease. The first death occurred
Sunday and the second on the fol-
lowing Monday, while the third death
was reported yesterday, although a
record has not been made OF II as
yet.
Following an autopsy on the result
OF the second Kullduff child, Drs. r.
G. Yenny, NJ. b. Marcellus and Baird
decided thai spinal meningitis was
perhaps responsible for the two
deaths. but when cultures we're taken
they were shown 70 be negative. DIR.
Hayes, who attended one Of the Kull-
dun children, reported to the health
department that II was a case OF
"auto-toXaemia," which is understood
by physicians to mean that death re-
suited from some inexplicable poison
generated by the patient. The great
est fear now Is that an epidemic will
spread.

GRAVEL TRUST is
BROKEN AT LAST

these rights to the city for all mu-
nicipal purposes in consideration of
the city paying them five cents per
load for all gravel removed, the city
to take any amount from anywhere
on the island. and to have the right
to erect a screening plant on the
island and operate a ferry boat to
and from the island at all times. This
offer was accepted and the city at
torney and attorneys for Minto Bros.
were ordered TO draw up a contract
covering the rights Of both parties.
It is expected tnat this will break up
the gravel trust that has a cinch on
all the gravel supplies in and about
the city az It's own terms. The con-
tract will be ratified by the contract
ing parties at once when drawn.

SPEED MANIACS ARE
ABOVE REACH OF LAW
[UnIted Preas Leased WIZ }

Santa Barbara, Cal, May 2S.-
speed maniacs attempting TO lower
the automobile records between San
Francisco and Los Angeles no longer
have to slow their cars to a snail's
pace while passing through this city.
The local ordinance limiting the
speed of automobiles, which has pre-
vented more than one enthusiast
from clipping seconds off the record,
and resulted in the humiliating ar
rest of others, yesterday was declared
by Police Judge Rizer to be void be-
cause II does not comply with a state
law.
The state law specifically states
that any ordinance limiting the speed
of motor cars Likewise must limit the
speed of other vehicles. Also, at
points where low speed limits are
effective, warning signs must be
posted. Neither regulation was COM
piled with here, and the city stands
in need of an entirely new ordinance.
The decision was given in a case
against Noe Moore, son of President
j. Hobart Moore, of the Rock Island
railroad, whose summer home is at
Montecito. When he was arrested
his attorney attacked the existing or
dinance by filing a demurrer TO the
