TOBACCO TAX
TO Be REMOVED
Ways and Means Committee to Rec
Ommenu Elimination From
Tariff.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The
Ways and Means Committee has pre-
pared an amendment to the revenue
section of the Payne bill which should
be a long-sought relief to the tobacco
growers of Kentucky, Chic, Tonnes
see and other States and cause dis
consulate feeling to permeste though
the personnel of the so-called Tobac-
co Trust.
This amendment, which the House
unquestionably will agree to, removes
the present internal revenue tax Of
g cents a pound on unstemmed to-
bacco in the natural leaf and not
manufactured or altered in any man
ner.
1t permits any person to buy or sell
such tobacco in the leaf without the
payment of any tax, and also allows
the farmers and growers of tobacco

snuff and cigars without being consid-
cred leaf dealers Of tobacco or man
.ufactuEers, who, under existing law,
are required to pay a tax.
The trust ha snot favored the re-
moval of this tax, for the reason,
it is said, that it will be deprived of
the sale, at a large profit, of millions
of pounds of tobacco which under
the amendment can be disposed Of
by the tobacco growers rectly TO
consumers.
One of the indirect effects of such
legislation, Kentucky members of the
House say, would be TO reduce, if
not actually put an end to. the might

ALL DRESSu LIKE MEM THE NEXT CHANGE|
DISQUALIFICATION or RAILROADS
 PROBLEM NOW FACED.
Utility and Economy of the New Pow CT Being Tested Out 3efore Radical Changes Are
 Made.

Just where officials, of the great railroads stood 40 years ago in ref. erence to radical changes in railroad equipment. do those of today stand as regards adoption of a new equip ment. Then 1t was a question of the use of steel rails from England. Now it is a problem of the identification of the roads.
 The New York Central and the Pennsylvania have both made some preliminary attempts at the adoption of such power. but complete equip rient waits on the perfect demonstra- ton upon its complete practicability and economy. The New York Cen tral may well be considered the pion. eer in this matter of testing out the electric motor as a practical substi- tute for the steam locomotive, and the Pennsylvania promises to be a close second in the matter of trying the pew equipment.
 The public has had some hint Of it. but after all uo good understanding of the intense thought the greater railway managers are now giving to this as yet undemonstrated problem. Moreover. 1t is not a question as to whether electricity can be so con trolled and harnessed as to provide energy sufficient to operate railway trains. so far as power is concerned. as we'll or better than the locomotive engine does. So also it was not a question with President Thomson of the Pennsylvania whether or not the steel rail. abstractly considered. would not furnish more adequate rail. way service than the iron rail or the earlier strap rail.
 Pittsburg was inevitably the center from which radiated the first far. reaching development of railway equipment and operation. So also New York city. although for different req sons. is the centre whence will radi. ate the national identification of rail. ways, provided that comes in this generation.
 To make the comparison easy of understanding, there should be some historical reference to what was done

DOCTOR COOK MAY
 HAVE REACHED POLE

NEW YORK, July 1.-Word is ex- pected almost any day from Dr. Frederick A. Cook, Arctic explorer who Is now believed to be awaiting transportation home at Etah, North Greenland, and geographers in the Arctic club here, which sent him north, profess their belief that he mas reached the North Pole.
 Reviewing the journal he sent home from Cape Hubbard last year, from which point he made his final dash for the Pole, these geographers nota the route he planned to take would lead him directly to the North Pole, providing that there were no anfav- orable ice conditions.
 Coupling this indication with the fact that there have been more ice bergs floating down into the Atlantic ocean this spring. and much earlier than ever before, the scientists be. Iieve they are safe in predicting that pr. Cook was not haEpered by un' favorable ice conditions. and that he therefore reached the Pole.
 pr. Cook is believed to be now waiting at Etah for the arrival of Scotch whaler which will bring him and his possibly great news back tc civilization.
 It is possible this news may nrs emanate from Dundee, Scotland which is the home port for most O the Scotch whaiers which visit thu Arctic seas.
