GOOD TIMES
JUST AHEAD
Warm Weather Has Started
The Big Tobacco Crop
To Moving.
THE MONEY WILL FLO W
When 100000 Pounds of
The Weed is Delivered
Stripping Difficulties.

The long expected boom in the 10.
cal tobacco market may now be ex.
pected. The warm weather has
started the crop to moving and there
are unmistakable signs of activity
and during the next sixty days we
may look for the delivery in Hop
kinsville of perhaps 30.000,000, lbs.
which will be put in circulation not
less than S2.OOO.OOe. Much of the
tobacco has already been sold to the
various factories and rehandling
houses. and the rest will be sold on
the loose floors. to buyers or priced
and sold in hogsheads. .
Hopkinsville, by maintaining an
uninterrupted tobacco market has
almost doubled its former territory
and the city is now the acknowledge
ed leading market of the Black
Patch.
All of the rehandling houses are
preparing to start up next week and
from now on heavy deliveries may
be expected.
The loose floors are now holding
daily sales and receipts are rapidly
increasing. Prices are ruling strong,
ranging from $4 to $12.
There are no indications of lower
prices. On the other hand buyers
are eager for the crop to move.
The farmers are now busy stripping
tobacco and many of them are hav.
ing mucl trouble getting hands. as
the negroes continue to leave the
farms in large numbers and flock to
the cities.
:. Hopkinsville is doing all it can to
discourage this by dispensing public
charity only after the most rigid in.
vestigation and by vigorously en-.
forcing the vagrancy laws. A negro
man applied for charity a few days
ago who refused to remain on a
farm last fall at $40 a month for
himself and two boys and house
furnished. His application was of
course refused. These conditions
are causing some crops to be brought
to town and stripped on contracts.

Says Milk Is overestimated.

In the December Womans Home Com

series of articles on "The Healthy
Baby" DIR. bennett is instructor In
the diseases Of children in the Post
Graduate school and is attending physi'
clan in the babies ward of the Post
Graduate hospital, New York. In his ar
ticle he makes the following comment
on milk as food:
"Many mothers will be surprised to
hear that child may drink too much
milk If there is any one article Of diet
that is overestimated, it is milk. Most
mothers are imbued with the idea that II
their children will drink milk they are
well fed. Milk is a good food, but it
must not be given 10 the exclusion OF
other foods, Time and time again have
children brought TO me who do not eat
because they drink one to two quarts OF
milk a day. 1t is often necessary to
take away the milk altogether, especially
during the second year, in order to get
the child hungry enough to eat other
things"

BEEF PACKERS LOSE APPEAL
IN THE SUPREME COURT
Stay Denied to Defendants, Who Must
Now Stand Trial Under Criminal
Clauses Of the Sherman
Law.

Washington, Dec. G.The supreme
court of the United States yesterday
refused to grant stay in the packers
case.
When the supreme court met at noon
yesterday, Chief Justice White at once
announced that the motion of the coun-
sci for the Chicago packers for a writ
Of supersedeas ordering stay in the
trial OF the packers was denied. The
effect of the denial is to allow the trial
OF the packers before the court of Judge
Carpenter to proceed to-day, unless for
his own reasons Judge Carpenter sees
fit to postpone the case.
1t is the opinion of the government
counsel that the packers after months
of bitter fighting TO stave off trial have
made their last stand for delay.
The decision yesterday does not reach
the question of the constitutionality of
the criminal features OF the Sherman
law which is raised in the appeal to
the supreme court from the decision of
Judge kohlsaat in the habeas corpus
proceedings brought by the packers be-
fore him.
That appeal will proceed but it is
not likely it will be decided by the SUI
preme court until after the trial of the
packers has been concluded. One Of the
greatest legal battles in the history of
the Sherman law Is now expected to be
fought out in Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 5.-Unted States Dis
trict Attorney Wilkerson said when he
got news Of the packers case decision
"1he government is ready to proceed
with the trial tomorrow. The jury was
ordered to report tomorrow, and think
the trial will begin.'

Storage Supply Of Butter 100000
Pounds Less Than Last Year.

Boston, Dec. 6.--Butter prices continue
TO work higher in the local market, an
advance of one-half cent per pound over
last weeks prices being sought by prac.
tically the entire trade. SO little fine
fresh butter is now arriving that stor-
age stocks are being drawn on freely to
supply the demand AS there will not
be any increase TO speak of in the make
OF fresh butter until after the turn OF
the new year and stocks of butter in
local cold storage are almost 100000
pounds less than they were year ago,
il is easy to see why prices are climb.
ing. The trend Of cheese prices also is
higher, as local supplies are much lighter
than usual and prices are higher In the
markets whore Boston dealers would
have to 90 to replace goods sold. The
demand for eggs Is rather quiet, but sup
plies continue meage and there is no
weakening OF prices.

BROUGHT MCNAMARA
CASES TO AN END
Gompers Says Sentence Re-
Ceived By the McNamaras
WaSAppropriate to Crime
Burns Comment.

Los Angeles, Calf, Dee. e.--,Judgc
Walter Bordwell, who yesterday SEN
fenced james p. Mcnamara, the con.
fessod murderer, to life Imprisonment,
and his brother, John J. to fifteen years
in San Quentin penitentiary, last night
formally said;
Developments OF the last week as 20
bribery and attempted bribery Of jurors
in the Mcnamara case were the efficient
cause of the change in pleas which
suddenly brought the cases to an end.
James b. would have confessed long ago
II the district attorney had been willing
10 dismiss the charges against his broth
er, but he refused
"The defense first proposed that James
y. should change his plea TO guilty on
condition that he should not be SEN
fenced to death and that his brother
should 90 free. The district attorney
would not agree to that Later a prop
osition was made that James B. plead
guilty and be sentenced to death II the
court so ordered, provided his brother
be saved
agree. The bribery Developments re-
vealed the desperation of the defense
and paralyzed all efforts to save John
D. by sacrificing his brother, whereupon
the change of pleas was forthcoming.
That some mitigation of the extreme
law might be expected in consequence
Of the change of pleas in these cases,
is In accord with the principle common
iy accepted in the administration of
criminal jurisprudence"
Judge Bordwell commented upon Me-
Namaras declaration that he did not
intend TO destroy life.
THE circumstances are against that
statement" he said. "A man who will
place 10 sticks of dynamite in place
where you, as printer, knew gas was
burning in many places and knew many
toiling, must have had no regard for
life, must have been murderer at
heart and undeserving of clemency."
"There is nothing to gloat about in
this said Frederieks afterward
81 shall have nothing to say beyond
that | have already said in court"
Attorney Darrow and his assistants
refused to make any statement. The
McNamaras in the county Jail asked
Sheriff Hammel to be protected from
visits of newspaper men. 1t is not
known when they will be taken to San
Quentin.
The McNamaras were not served with
summonses to appear before the grand
jury at the time they were in court,
although this had been expected. It is
deemed certain, however, that they viii
appear.
