GIBSON CASE:

Witnesses Contradict
In Bootleg Trial
Exler On Stand
Somebody lied.

Either Detectives Ozbun ana Gregg
falsified when they told of the pur-
chase of whiskey from Robert Glib
son on the night of February II. or
else Phil Exler who works with Glib
sen, is a prime prevaricator. This is
the only conclusion to be drawn from
the testimony adduced in the county
court today.
Exler declared in his testimony
that both Ozbun and Gregg were in
tc xicated, and coolly contradicted at
a dozen points the statements made
by the men who secured the evidence.
The case will probably last until

PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE

TO the Senate and House OF Representa-

have called the congress together in
extraordinary session because duty was
aid upon the party now in power at the
recent elections which it ought to perform
promptly, in order that the burden carried
by the people under existing law may be
lightened as soon as possible, and in order,
also, that the business interests of the coun-
try may not be kept too long in suspense
as to what the fiscal changes are to be to
which they will be required to adjust them
selves.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Jan. 81, 1913.
There is jubilation in the Connecticut
valley over the outcome of the hearing
before the Ways and Means committee
Ia Washington last Friday. The init
gnation that the tariff on wrapper to-
bacco will not be reduced was much
growing interests had hoped for.
The Orly doubt as to the final out
come, in the average growers mind, is
that congress may undertake to do a
little tariff making of its own contrary
to the ideas of the Ways and Means
committee. In fairness it must be
stated that had the contest been mere
ly trial of strength between the i'm
porting interests and the growers the
outcome might have been different.
The announced Democratic policy to
tax luxuries heavily was used to telling
advantage by the growers, who empha-
sized that tobacco was not only rec
,ognized luxury but produced a depend
able revenue, which, they argued, was
not to be overlooked in framing tar
iH for revenue only.
If the Ways and Means committee
Shouid see fit to remove some of the
restrictions on Havana tobacco imports,
only a half-hearted protest would be
made by New England tobacco grow
els. The debate at the annual conven-
tion of the New England Tobacco
Growers association at Hartford indi-
Gated Enthusiastically that while the
smaller growers were opposed to any
concessions to the Havana interests,
the larger growers were disposed to
pass over the matter entirely. New
England tobacco growers no longer re-
gard Havana leaf as menace and
many of them would openly advocate
the admission of Cuban tobacco free of
duty but for the fact that by SO doing
they would lose support in states which
produce types Of tobacco of which Gu
ba.l filler is competitor.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS, Jan. 81, 1913.
Aside from the receiving of early
purchases, which is progressing mod
erately, there is but little doing in the
local markets of the state. The re-
jected crops find ready buyer at re-
duced prices of course, and there is a
quiet hunting for the unsold portion of
the crop. But the aggregate business
is small and figures paid are somewhat
below those prevailing earlier in the
season. Docking has become quite a
common feature of the receiving in the
northern districts.
Warehouse handling has settled down
to a steady, everyday grind, for the
help is we'll organized and accomplish
ing good results.
The market for old leaf has develop
ed no new features, sales being mostly
of small lots by the local dealers.
The eastern centers report good
demand for binder stock and consider
able Wisconsin leaf moving. John
Linaas sold an 85cs lot of IL to We'll &
Son. w. T. Pomeroy & Co. secured a
3Ocs lot of 'O6 from a Sun Prairie
grower.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 400 cases to all points from this
market since last report.

NEW YORK, Jan. 70, 1918.
A resumption of activity was notice
able in the market this week. A num-
Der of out-of-town buyers were hustl-
ing around to replenish their exhausted
stock, but what they most wanted was
to be found the least. That, of course,
was binder leaf. But transactions were
brisk in all kinds of filler leaf, and also
in the new Florida Georgia which fully
seems to correspond to the reputation
given it by the official reports. Suma-
ira transactions were slow but the Ha
vana market is keeping up its activity.
The market, however, will learn with
surprise that there was only an increase
of 1O7, ,837, ,212 in the output of our

dar year 1912 which is first and exclu-

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


The suggestion offered in this column
that the growers have it in their power
to discourage the indiscriminate field
buying or option taking on growing
crop is not an original one. A group
of Richland county farmers have act
ually put in practice the plan OF refus-
ing to sell their crops until they were
in the bundle, for several years past.
These growers signed an iron-clad
agreement to abide by that decision
under forfeiture of $100 for viola
ton of it. And the scheme worked,
too. Every buyer who came into that
territory was informed of this agree
ment and of the farmers determine
ton to faithfully line up to the terms.
These growers have always been able
to get the average price for their crops
and there is never any trouble at deliv-
cry time, for the buyers thoroughly ex-
amined and accepted the tobacco at the
tiue of making the contracts. The
success of this undertaking simply IL
lustrates what it is possible for grow
ers in every community in the tobacco
sections to inaugurate and carry out.
Talk it up during the winter months
and if feasible organize and be pre-
pared before the next buying campaign
opens.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-01-31

Great dissatisfaction is being ex-
pressed among the growers in the Con-
necticut valley over the methods of
buying now in vogue. In many cases
farmers are not receiving the price
agreed upon at the time the crop was
purchased in the field. The farmers
themselves are largely to blame for
they have nothing to show but the con-
tract as made out by the buyers. The
BUYERS make an offer while the crop is
green and bind it with a small cash
payment which the farmer is eager to
get as he is short of money at the time.
When delivery day arrives, which is
generally late in the winter, when the
farmer is again short of money, the
buyer finds the crop light weight or not
well sweated or unsatisfactory from
some other cause which necessitates a
reduction in the contract price. The
farmers Enaintain that the fault finding
is not always done in good faith, while
the buyers are equally strenuous in as
serting that the deliveries are not what
they should be and that they cannot
pay more without losing money. lndi-
cations are that there will be less buy
ing in the field hereafter u. S. Tob
