DELEGATION is tLATEO
President-elect Promises to Spend
Day at Birmingham, Ala.

Day at birmingham, Ala.
Augusta, Ga. Jan. 4.-United States
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge left for
Washington. In discussing his visit
Mr.. Taft said that, besides giving him
a general idea of the probable organ
ization of the senate committees af-
ter March 4, Elf. Lodge had strongly
urged the retention in the Taft cabi-
net of Postmaster General Meyer
While no particular portfolio for Mr.
Meyer was mentioned, it is under
stood that If he is retained it will be
either as secretary of the navy or
secretary of the treasury, with the
navy department the most likely.
The Birmingham (Ala.) delegation,
which obtained the promise of visit
to their city from the president-elect,
went away elated in their success in
inducing Frank H. Hitchcock to go
with them for a visit of a day in Bir-
mingham. Mr.. Hitchcock will return
here from Birmingham before Sena-
tor Knox arrives The senator is ex-
pected Wednesday.

Claims Valuable Estate.

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. An heir
to the estate of Mrs. Mathilde Wal
den, who died here last July, leaving
an estate valued at 100000 without
known heirs, has appeared at Cincin-
natl. This claimant is James E. Wal
den, % years old, who declares he is
a nephew of the dead woman and the
sole heir to her estate. According to
Walden's story he was kidnapped at
Tropico four years ago. He thinks
persons interested in depriving him
of the estate committed the kidnap-
ing.

TOBACCO TRADE OF
CINCINNATI HURT.
Great Conflict Between Planters and
the Trust Materially In
jure Market.

The leaf tobacco trade of Cincin-
natl, as might be inferred, was ma
terially injured by the cutting OUT
of the 1908 crop by the tobacco
planters in their great conflict with
the American Tobacco Company.
The pooling Of the 1907 crop by the
Equity Society also diverted hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in trade
from this city, for when the pool
holdings were finally sold to the trust
and the independent manufacturers
much of the deliveries were made at
outside points and in the country dis
tricts.
A very considerable amount of the
society's pooled tobaccos, however,
were on storage in the commission
/ tobacco warehouses in this city and
figure in their business as cash sales.
and this fact will explain the some
what misleading figures in which,
while there has been a decrease
shown III receipts, offerings and the
number of hOgsheads sold as compar-
ed with last year, vet the cash sales
of all the Cincinnati warehouses are
$731,57S 90 higher than in 1907.
But as showing the extent to which
the "burley tobacco war" has injured
the leaf tobacco trade of Cincinnati,
it may be mentioned that the offer
ings on the auction ''breaks" here in
1906 amounted to 70,355 hogsheads.
In 1907, when the crops of 1906
and 1907 were effectively tied up by
the pool, the offerings on the local
'breaks" declined to 1861 hogs
heads, and, as shown below, they still
further declined in 1908, the year just
closed, to 25,455 hogsheads.
There will be no material increase,
if any, in the local trade in 1909, I'M
less the crop of this year comes on
the market very early in the fall, for
according to the estimate of the crop
Of 1908, as published in The Enquir-
er in October last, there was less than
100000 pounds of white hurley to-
bacco raised in 1908, or less than one
sixth in amount of the crop of 1907.
Very little of the hurley leaf tobac-
co grown in any one year is ready to
coiar ON the market until the early
part Of the following year, as that
the effect of the tobacco war on the
Cincinnati trade will not have fully
passed away until early in 1910.
All authorities agree, however, that
an enormous crop, by some estimated
as nigh as 275,000,00 pounds, will be
planted in 1909, as a tremendous
shortage exists, and with a favor
able year for the growth of the crop,
Cincinnati may fully recover in trade
all that is lost by the Tobacco War;
in 1907 and Cincinnati En-
quirer.

FIRST IN PARADE OF
ALL WESTERN STATES
Governor Wilson and staff Will Have
Place in Taft's Inaugural
Parade.

Owing to the lack of funds in the
State Treasury, and the desire to be
economical the Kentucky State
troops will not be sent to Washing
ton to take part in the Inaugural Pa
rade of President elect Taft. This
information became known yesterday
by letter written to Governor Will
son by Mayor General j. F. Bell, Of
the United States Army, who is also
the Grand Marshal of the parade.
General Bell takes this opportunity
to compliment the Kentucky State
Guard, for he says, "From press re-
ports 1 agree with you that your
guard has been rendering excellent
service during the past year and I
regret that the conditions you men
ton will operate to prevent their rep
resentation in the coming Inaugural
Parade"
The position of Governor Wilson
and that of bis staff in the parade is
fixed by the date of admission of the
State into the union. As result Of
this plan the Governor and his stan
will have the distinction of leading
the line of States west of the Ale
gheny mountains, and will have the
fifteenth position in the parade The
Governor and the staff viii be mount
ed in the parade, as there will be no
carriages other than five or six pro-
vided for the Presidential party that
will be permitted in the column.

MAGNATts MEET TODAY
Important Matters Before the Ma

Important Matters Before the Ma
tlonaI Baseball Commission.
Cincinnati, Jan. The men who
are filed from hat to shoe with the
history, customs and rules of base
ball. who know more about the ma
tional game as it is played today
than the late Henry Chadwick, its
father" got together here today in
the meeting of the national commits
sion. Before the meeting is over sew
eral pages will be added to the his
tory of baseball, if present indications
do not lie.
Chief among the questions that are
before the commission is the demand
of the American association and the
Eastern league for changes regarding
the drafting rules. Briefly stated,
these two organizations want the
privilege now possessed only by the
two big leagues of drafting men from
minor leagues instead of acquiring
them only by purchase. The demand
was presented at the recent meeting
of the commission in New York, but
was laid over until today
A majority of the requests made by
the American association and the
Eastern league are being seriously
considered by the national commits
sion, and it is said many concessions
will be made. Speaking of this mat
ter, Garry Hermann, chairman of
the national commission, said:
dema1ils we should give them all pos
sible relief, but if the requests are
made, as some people say, to open up
a more serious demand, why, l will
go as far as any one to resist them"

Washington, Jan. = Spontaneous
and universal approval has been ac-
corded the movement initiated by
President Roosevelt in calling a con-
ference to meet here Jan. % and 26
to discuss the problem of caring for
the dependent children of the coun-
try. Messages from men and women
prominent in all walks of life from
all parts of the country are express
ing their deep sympathy and interest
in this important problem.
The proposed conference is expect
ed to be of far-reaching consequences
in dealing with the destitute and neg
lected children. The subject, affect
ing the very heart of the home itself,
will be threshed out from every angle
by the leading sociological workers.
jurists, educational leaders and 9TH
ers
Perhaps the greatest task with
which President Roosevelt has had to
contend in connection with the mat
ter is the designation of those who
will be invited to participate in the
deliberations of the congress. The
president has sent James E. West of
this city, secretary of the National
Rescue league, to New York city to
learn the names of men and women
who are thoroughly conversant with
the care of dependent children and
who are to be invited to the confer
ence. 1t is expected that President
Roosevelt will announce the official
list III a few days.
Every phase Of the problem of how
best to deal with this class of chill
dren will be considered. One of the
most important themes will be the ad-
visibility Of establishing a national
children's bureau, one of whose OBJ
jects shall be the collection and dis
semination of accurate information in
regard to child-caring and needs
Of children.

PRESENT YEAR LIKELY
TO Be GOOD CROP YEAR
Small Grains Growing RapidIy-TO-
baCcO Land Held at High
Price.

After a few months of gloom when
it looked as if the drought would cut
short many of the crops and cut off
the water supply, it now seems that
the coming year will be one Of the
best crop years for a long time.
The small grain, which was sown
early and looked sickly during the
fall and early winter is rapidly grow
ing and is beginning to stool and if
the winter continues to be open the
crop will be far above the average.
The only chance for the wheat crop to
be a failure is a hard freeze when
there is no snow on the ground.
There has been sufficient rain for
the ground to be in almost perfect
condition, and at present about eighty
per cent of the spring blowing is
done and In a few more weeks the
remainder will have been broken.
Increase in Corn and Oats.
A larger amount of corn and oats
will be put In this year than last.
Much preparation is being made to-
ward putting in large acreage of to-
bacco, some land renting at high
price; as one farmer put it, Hbuying
ground without getting a deed for it"
The breaking of the ground for the
tobacco beds will not be started be-
fore the latter part of this month or
in February.
The condition of the fruit trees is
said to be prime and unless some un-
foreseen change In the weather oc-
ours, there will be a "bumper" crop.
Strawberries did not fare so well
as the larger fruit and unless it comes
out unusually well there will be a
small crop In the Blue Grass this
spring. Raspberries and blackber-
ries have stood the drought without
damage and from the present pros
poets viii bear an unusually good
yield.
