ON SNUFF
Tomorrow Only Pure Tobacco
Snuff Can Be Sold
LADD ISSUES BULLETIN
NORTH DAKOTA PURE FOOD Ex-
PERT HINTS THAT THERE ARE
TWO MEN IN NORTH DAKOTA
REPRESENTING IMPURE FOOD
INTERESTS.

Snuff in itself as stmulant, Is a
bad thing said Pure Food Commits
sioner Isadd to a Forum representative
today, .'and / am waiting for an opin-
ion from Attorney General Miller to
see how he interprets the new anti
snuff law. before / take any action on
the matter as Indicated in my latest
bulletin"
Under the provisions of the new
snuff law which was passed at the re-
cent session of the North Dakota leg
islature, the sale ofall snuff not made
from pure tobacco only was made pro-
hibitlye on and after Sept. /. Dealers
having supply on hand at the time
Of the passage OF the bill were permit
ted to dispose Of that stock until that
date, after which they would be liable
and sell 1t on their own risk.
Tomorrow Ia the date set for the new
snuff law to go fully into effect, and
it will be a matter of statewide in
terest to see what Commissioners
Ladd's procedure will be upon the re-
ceipt of the opinion Of Attorney GEN
eral Miller.
The fight Is expected to be made on
Copenhagen SNUFF, which is the re-
ported product Of the American To-
baoco Go. Under the law, which went
into force Mar. 8, nothing can be sold
In North Dakota as snuff except pure
tobacco. In his bulletin. Commissioned
Ladd makes comparison of the
analysis OF Copenhagen snurr, as given
in snuff advertisements in certain
state newspapers. with the literal in
depreciation OF the new snuff law. and
asks IL Copenhagen snun can be sold
In this state.
Mr. Ladd also makes some sensa-
tional charges in his bulletin in regard
to two men who are at present In the
state, ostensibly to attend to other
matters, but who are endeavoring to
find out the sentiment OF the people OF
the state concerning the activities
under the pure food and drug laws Of
North Dakota.
In his charges, Mr.. Ladd intimatas
that they are here to establish a po-
Htical influence which will enable them
to curb the activities OF the pure food
department which might be obnoxious
to them or the interests they represent.
This latest bulletin, by Professor
Ladd, special No. So was issued yes
terday and contains number Of SEN
sational and decidedly interesting
statements and opinions. More de-
tails viii be given in The Forum to-
morrow.

mapped out it's plans for the sxpend-
iture Of the money on hand, which
probably will be exhausted by the time

The defense in the Beattie trial was
prepared to resume its attack on the
evidence presented by the common
wealth, and a score of witnesses were
summoned to appear today TO testify as
to the various points Of the case which
the prosecution has built up to support
its charges that Henry Clay Beattie
Jr., killed his wife with a. shotgun pur-
chased for him by his cousin, Paul.
Inasmuch as the accused and his
cousin, Paul, were alone not only at
the time Of the alleged transfer OF the
gun from Paul to Henry, but at the
conversation on the day subsequent to
the commission Of the crime when
Henry is alleged to have told Paul that
he was sorry he had done it. the case
has resolved itself into question Of
veracity between cousins.
Paul already has given his testimony
and the defense from now to the end
of the trial, which il expected to be
sometime next week, will occupy itself
with efforts to break down his story
through attacks on his character and
reputation for truthfulness. This will
be reinforced by the testimony of the
prisoner himself who will take the
stand at the last moment.

BATTLIkG NELSON IS
 TOO FAST FOR H0WAR.
Former Champion Picks. Ur Easy Money by Defeating Brooklynite in Ten
 Rounds sis

Battling Nelson ean6ed, a decision over Willie Howard last nightiat the Irving A. C.. in Brooklyn. The EBat- tier had the better of practically ev- cry round. While he outclassed his opponent Nelson did not show the speed and cleverness that earned him his championship title., .N
 was guilty of fouling Howard, for Charlie White. In the third round that White cautioned him, and the crowd hissed In the seventh round he butted Howard in the nose with his head with such force that White sent him to his corner and threatened to disqualify him.
 After the first two rounds. which were about even, Nelson did practi- cally all of the fighting. Howard con tented himself with Jumping around the ring, now and then sending a light jab to Nelson's face or body. Nelson was the aggressor, and time and again chased Howard to the ropes. where he landed many hard right and left swings and jabS.
 In an atmosphere that felt like polar regions Nelson and Howard started to box. It was so cold in the clubhouse that the men were forced to fight fast to keep their blood cir culating. Nelson had an advantage, seemingly, of six or seven pounds over Howard, who under the condi- tions was forced to make 133 pounds, while Nelson fought at catch weights.

Worlds Series In Cuba Perhaps
Frank Bancroft Says, Island , Players Have Improved WOn-
 < deffusH in Recent Years

Frank Bancroft, business manager of the Cincinnati Reds, who is acting in the same capacity for the Giants >o on their Cuban trip this winter, is baseball in Cuba. Bancroft has been watching the progress of the game there since 1S79 when he took the first sprofessional team to the Pearl of the Antilles. Tn a recent interview he predicts that the worlds champion. ship games will eventually be played in Havana The Cubans call Bancroft the "Father of Baseball in Cuba"
 s.No person on earth can appreciate the growth of baseball in Cuba more than T can,' said Bancroft. This ad- vancement of the game since I came here in 1879 with the Hop Bitters' Is simply astonishing. While I may not be many years before the world 8 championship will be played between the champions of America, Cuba and Japan and other foreign countries where baseball is getting a firm hold. { The Cubans are certainly quick to and when I hear American players going back home after being heaten down here and giving all kinds of ex- .cuses,3 laying the blame on the cli- mate. &c.. it makes me laugh. While the American players may not be us- ed to the climate. and it Is to a cer- tain extent a handicap, the cold fact remains that the Cubars are good bah players and win. on their merits.
 American scouts in looking for talent will keep in touch with the coming young Cuban players and l predict that many more will be grab bed up by the league teams in future years.
 "Cuba is very fortunate in having such man as Senor Jimenez to ham, dle baseball affairs, and the support that is given him by the sporting writers cannot be beaten in any city in America. While the sport is kept as clean as it now is by the support of the. press, the public and the play CTS. baseball is certain to grow until it. is equal to the, game in any coun- try.'

YlUKG C. HEN DEFEATS
 JOHNNY DUNDEE EASILY
English Boxer Who Has Many Local Supporters Make Fine Showing in New York

Young Cohen. an English feather weight. made quite a cut into the championship aspirations of Johnny Dundee last night at the Fordon A. C., New York, in their ten-round battle. during which he jabbed his man almost at will and won the pop ular decision easily. Dundee failed to show the form which has been his in most of his fights hereabouts, and aside from being off his feet during most of the go, seemed unable to reach his man in effective fashion.
 From the outset the Englishman worked his left jab to advantage, smothering all of ,Dundee's attempts to get at close quarters. Although the blows to the face had not much sting behind them they occasioned a wildEess in his opponents work which made him miss times -out of number.
 In the early part of the affray Cohen was prone to slip, and went down three times in the first round. Cohen got his man at the beginning g with his left, Dundee coming in with both hands in one-two fashion, but both to the head. The Englishman was inclined to hug, but waded in willingly enough. Honors were fair ly even at the end of this session.
