One subscriber of The Sun has
contributed the following story:
''The story of the rube and the
olive in The Sun under this head,
Wednesday. calls to mind an occur
renee in California. The olive is cult
ivated quite extensively in southern
California, and the fruit raised in and
near Santa Barbara is OF the finest
quality. To those unacquainted with
the growth OF the fruit it may prove
interesting to say that when ii ma
lures. like several varieties of plums
in this locality. IT changes from green
to purple in color. The green or un-
ripe fruit is that used in making the
picked product. while the ripe fruit
is used in making olive oil,
''But to relate the joke: was
stopping at a house where the owner
had several olive trees in the yard.
An eastern man, a carpenter. was do
ing some work for him. and at lunch
hour noticed the purple fruit and
said: Il see you have some of our
blye Damsons, and they're ripe. too.
I'd like to sample 'em to learn II they
taste like ours Just help yourself.
was the reply. And he did so. The
way he puckered up his lips upon
biting into one of them was ample
proof that they were not plums, as he
supposed. l had to laugh at the fell
low, for he probably saved me the
same experience. because the fruit
certainly looks like 1t ought TO be
good enough to eat when picked from
the tree"

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Circuit Judge William Reed has a
method Of dispatching business when
he is en- the bench, and the lawyers
have learned it is better to abide by
the wishes of the judge than to prac-
tice the dilatory methods common to
many courts. Some record-breaking
time was made in the February ses-
sion of circuit court, and cases were
tried in sometime less than an hour.
In the trial of one case the bystand-
ers had hearty laugh. The case was
on trial, and the attorneys had ar
ranged the witnesses in the hall just
as wanted and when through with a
witness he was, quickly disposed OF
and another called. AS one witness
walked rapidly to the chair Attorney
ID. II. Hughes said: Hurry and be
sworn as you come" The fellow
threw up his hand and was sworn by
the time he reached the witness chair

LAW MISSES COMMON DANCE HALLS.

Frank 5. Oliver, chief OF the bureau Of licenses

LOEB CHECKS Treats"
Passengers Who Tried TO Outsrit In
Spectors Pay High for Fun.

Collector Loeb has checked the delight of about
forty persons who arrived from abroad in the last
two days in beating the government. This was
one Of the results OF his hrst-hand view of the
work of the inspectors the docks. Surveyor
Clarkson was also around TO see how things
being done The Collector said yesterday that he
would not prosecute the and women who. as
for the delight of H. when they might just we'll
have declared the goods and brought in under the
sl0o free rule
These smugglers for the delight OF it. however.
did not escape without a punishment. As the
watchmen and inspectors gathered them in the
goods which they attempted to evsde declaring
appraised and the duty affixed. and then each
had the task assigned Of paying the appraised
value plus the duty. The Collector could under the
law have caused the arrest of the persons held up.
but they really smugglers for business
I'm value the amount that could have been brought
in free. the punishment inflicted was thought 10
be sufficient.
In other days-that is, before the laws against
smuggling rigidly enforced-persons decar-
ing dutiable goods never had TO walt long at the
cashiers window before they could settle for the
duty. There weren't many of them. The Collector
was called up yesterday by man who had been
passenger OF the steamships that arrived in
port Sunday. He had a complaint 10 make. he
said. He had been treated cOurteOusly by the in
spectors but when he went TO pay the duties he
found a large number OF men and women ahead OF
him. and he had INTELLECTUALLY had TO stand in
line-for long time
The Collector explained the stua ton satisfactorily
and it then learned that this was not really
downright kick" but simply a way Of telling the
Collector that things different in a laudable
WAY.

of Scranton. Penn. filed suit in the federal court
in CovingtOn KY against the Burley Tobacco So
ciety, Clarence Lebus the president, and ten other
defendants
The plaintiffs demand sl3552O damages. on the
ground that they were overcharged tobacco they
Obliged to buy from the Burnley Tobacco So
ciety. The suit is filed under the Sherman anti
trust law, and the Burley society is charged with
being a monopoly in restraint of trade. Nineteen
Kentucky tobacco growers and two Ohio growers
are named party defendants.
The plaintiffs allege that in 1908 they were I'M
able TO buy white hurley tobacco in the open mar
ket. and compelled to go to the Burnley So
ciety for the product that in 1905 the plaintins had
to pay IS cents pound When the tobacco was
really worth only cents; that in 1907 the Burnley
society forced them TO pay Il cents and fraction
when the product worth only cents.
In the petition the Burnley society is described as
a branch of the Society of Equity. II is asserted
by interested persons that this suit will reveal
differences that resulted in Night Rider troubles.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs declare they will
also ask for injunction against the disposal of
the of the Burley society alleged TO amount
TO 100000.
w ID. Collins & Bros, tobacco brokers. of Louis

Buckeye leaf tobacco warehouse. of Cincinnati. are
connected with the proceedings against the Burley

The suit marks the third legal recourse after

first series of suits filed by the for in
dependent growers in the criminal courts of Ken

arrested for completely in the Outawry to force all
into the pools The second series was the more
effective method of actions for damages in the fed
eral court by men who had removed TO other states
after they had been victims of the torch lash of
the Night RIDERS.
Between these two periods the Burley society
representing the growers who pooled the crop of
the Blue Grass. Central Kentucky, counties. rose
TO power by its successful consummation of

Company. dispOsing OF 70 per cent OF the 1896 and
1877 white hurley crops Several independent deal

to-day is the first of the probably numerous third
