Enormous Increase in Manufacture
and Use of Butterine.

One result OF the high prices charged
for butter has been an increase in the
use of substitutes for the product OF the
old-fashioned churn and the newer coun-
try creamery, this demand being met by a
constantly increasing output of so-called
artificial buffers, called oleomargarine,
butterine and by other titles. Makers OF
and dealers in genuine" butter have
waged a long and bitter war on those

MERCHANTS FAVOR COLE LAW.

MERCHANTS FAVOR COLE LAW.
During the last session Of the New
York State Legislature. as result or
much agitation-and, 50 the commits
sion merchants maintain, a misunder-
standing Of the great work done by
them-a law was enacted imposing re-
strictions upon the methods employed
- the commission merchants or re-
ceivers in the selling Of farm produce.
Preliminary TO the passage Of the Cole
bill several hundred commission mer-
chants appeared at Albany TO make
clear their side of the case, as against
those who sought to impose drastic re-
strictions upon their business. At that
time the position taken by the produce
merchants. so the merchants main
tain, was misrepresented. In this con-
nection the statement furnished to The
Tribune by John w. Nix, one of the
leading produce merchants, is Of inter
est. Said Mr. Nix:
The produce commission merchants
Of New York would like 10 have The
Tribune put their position correctly be
fore the people of this country. They
have never opposed any reasonable
regulation. In fact, we have strongly
urged the adoption Of any legislation
which might tend 10 safeguard the in
terests Of the shipper or Of the public.
We, therefore, favored the adoption OF
the Cole bill as it was finally passed
by the Legislature and approved by the
Governor We did object most siren
uously, however, 10 the gross misrep-
resentation upon the part of some oI
those who sought TO impose unneces-
sarily harsh and unwise restrictions
upon the produce merchants. the
Roosevelt bill as originally drawn con-
@ined some provisions which II wouio
ave been impossible TO enforce. For
Example, the requirement that all per-
ishable produce be inspected by state
Inspectors previous 10 its being dis
posed OF by the receivers would have
entailed endless confusion, delay and
loSs-and the loss would have fallen
upon the farmer, at that. In this con-
nection desire 10 state that the prod
uce merchants have the same regard
lot the interests Of the farmer that
any other class OF business men may
nave for the men whom they represent.
and with whom they are in constant
business relations 1t is folly TO main
tain that because a few irresponsible
persons may have abused the customs
followed by the produce merchants and
small percentage Of the shippers may
nave sustained losses that the great
body Of thoroughly reliable merchants
should be unnecessarily hampered by
the legislation which was first pro-
posed. The facts are that the produce
merchants handle a great volume of

This market should not be confused

SEEKWOMAN
AS TRAIN
ROBBER
Detectives Trail Two Men and
Companion From Bessemer as
A. G. S. HoId-up Suspects.

BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 29.-What is
conceded by railroad detectives and
officers hunting the Alabama Great
Southern train robbers to be the most
important clew in the search for the
bandits was information received
here to-day that two men and a
woman left Bessemer, near here, Sun
day night with a heavy trunk and
paid their transportation to New Or
leans with new unsigned bank notes.
The description of the woman tall
lies with that of the 1S-year- old
boy who held up Engineer Daniels
last Friday morning. Inspector of
Police James W. Reynolds, of New
Orleans, has instructions to arrest the
trio in case they reach there.
To-day the trainmen failed to iden-
tlfy John Cannon, Henry Poll and
Robert Vaughn, the three tramps ar
rested at Eutaw on suspicion of being
connected with the robbery. They
admit that. they were riding blind
baggage" on the roof Of the mail car
when the robbery took place, saw the
bandits rob the express car, were
shocked by the explosion that wreck
ed the express safe, and, hanging des-
perately to the top Of the car, took
the wild ride of 80 miles to n point
below Tuscaloosa, a part of which
time there was no one at the throt-
tie of the engine. At Tuscaloosa they
attempted to alight from their place
Of danger and were the ones that
were fired upon by Sheriff Palmer,
according to their story.
The ride continued at a terrific pace
until Englewood was reached. when
the engine went dead and they fed,
being trailed down by bloodhounds.
Their story is believed, but they are
being held as material witnesses.
Rewards of $4,000 have been offered
for the bandits-S3,000 by the Gov
eminent and $1,000 by the railroad.
In rifiing the registered mail the
bandits secured $4,000 in unsigned
bank notes consigned from the United
State Treasury to the Bank of Me-
ridian, Miss. Other stolen packages
of currency probably totaled SIS, 1000.
The Southern Express Company
claims that its loss was only $50 al
though the robbers abandoned $31
in cash which was left on the floor
of the safe.
