Washington, July 5.-Cigar manufac-
turers, who were givin hearing today
by the subcommittee. on finance, sue

listing rate of cents and IL cents as
proposed by the Beveridge amendment.
Chewing and smoking tobacco, 5 cents
a pound, instead of the existing rate of

ANDERSON'S DEATH
VAS ACCIDENTAL
THIS is VERDICT OF coRoNER'S
JURY .IMPANELED TO INVESTl-
GATE THE cASE-SoME EVIL
DENcE OF VIOLENCE

All evidence which the coroners jury
empaneled to investigate the death of
Robert Anderson. the young man who
was killed in the Seaboard concrete cut on
Avenue A near Twenty-fourth street early
last Wednesday morning, tended to show
that the boy came to his death In an &C
cidental manner by being run over by
Seaboard switch engine, and a verdict
was returned accordingly.
The Investigation was held in the coro-
ner's office yesterday morning and the
examination of witnesses consumed sew
eral hours. Dr. Frank G. Grace, who
held the postmortem examination, testi-
fled that his examination of the body dis
closed the fact that Anderson was struck
in the head with a blunt instrument of
some kind. He said that the injuries re-
ceived on different other parts of the body
indicated that they might have been post
mortem wounds.
More than a dozen witnesses, principally
women, testified that they had seen An
derson on the night he was killed, and
that he was In the vicinity Of Twenty
fourth street about 1920 o'clock in COM
pany with two other boys, which was
shortly before he was killed. Other wit
nesses swore that they had heard threats
which one of the men made against An
derson.
From all the testimony, however, there
was none sufficient to warrant the arrest
of any one in connection with the case
and the jury returned its verdict that the
death was accidental

Grain Is Exempted.

amendment exempting wheat wheat flour
and fiaxseed from the drawback provision
of the bill and an amendment by Sem

cotton ties when used on cotton that is
exported, were agreed to-
Senator Aldrich explained that here
would be laid before the senate a few
committee amendments providing for a
tax on vessels and tobacco tax, includ-
ing leaf tobacco.
The committee would, he said also
recommend that the house provision re-
lating to the cost of construction and
issue of additional bonds for the Panama
canal be stricken from the bill, as those
bonds did not properly belong there.
These matters, he said, could come up
at some later time, as there was no espe-
cial need for canal legislation now. With
those exceptions, he said, the committee
would have no more recommendations to
bill could be reported from the commit
tee.
Senator Culberson said the Standard
Oil company continued drawbacks on
cans it exports, amounting to s1,000.000 a
year, and said he would offer an amend
ment to correct that condition.
Treatment of Monopoly.
Does the senator think the Standard
Oil company ought to be treated differ
emily from other citizens?" inquired Mr..
Aldrich.
~ think" replied Mr.. Culberson, that
any monopoly ought to be treated diff
ing to obey the law"
Il do not think said Mr.. Aldrich,
that tho Standard has any mojopoly of
export on OIL"
Mr.. Aldrich added that the tin plate
manufactured in the United States is in
the hands of one company. II do not
know" he said, whether that concern
is asking to be benefited by the abolition
of drawbacks.
II am very sorry" said Senator Scott.
ito see senators inclined to criticise
every corporation. The Standard OIL
company seems to be the DOGGY man
which everybody kicks"
Since the Senate refused to put duty
on oil, he said, the price has been re-
duced Is cents barrel. He said he was
sure the Standard company did not want
duty on oil. He added that he made
this statement preparatory to trying to
get enough senators to help him put
some duty on oil.
Mr.. Bacon said he only wanted condi-
tions that American oil could not be
sold cheaper in England than in the
United States.
Senator Gallinger gave notice that to-
morrow he would offer amendments for
an increase of the tax on malt liquor.

The naval authorities declare that 5000
more men ought to be recruited for the
navy in order to man the new ships which
are being put into commission from time
to time.
The administration programme of
economy in expenditures for the army and
navy collides directly with this situation.
The army and navy authorities are MAX
ing determined efforts to carry out the
Presidents retrenchment plans To that
end they are trying to figure how that
can get along with 5000 or perhaps only
2500 increase in the navy's enlisted force.
There is complaint that building ships at
cost of many millions, and then fail
ing properly to man them, is at best
dubious policy. The building of new ships
goes right on, with more probability for
an charging than of a decreasing pro-
gramme In the future.
