past-time what is going on in Washing
ton in regard to the so-called LOBBY IN
vestigation. The Senate Investigating
Committee having struck a fruitful
trail the House has also taken steps to
do some lobby detective work OF It's
own. What the result of all the ex-
penditure of time and money on this
kind of modern Inquisition is going to
be nobody can foretell. But SO Tar the
public has derived at least great deal
of entertainment from 1t. What inter-
ests us most, however, IN this LOBBY
suue ezing is, whether the one or the
other Investigating committee is gong
to strike also the trail OF a Lobby re-
sponsible for the enactment OF the aD-
solute free trade in cigars and tobacco
from the Philippine Islands. Ihat
there must have been such a lobby IN
action would appear to be evident from
the following facts: The granting OF
absolute free trade in tobacco and It's
products was nowhere mentioned IN the
National Democratic platform; neither
the Presidential nor Congressional can
didates of the Democratic party had
pledged themselves openly on the
stump, or anywhere before the puollc
to such policy, and the entire trade,
tobacco growers, cigar manufacturers
and cigar workers were united as tney
have never been for any other purpose
| in opposition and intensely hostile TO
| the concession of absolute free trade IN
tobacco and cigars to the Philippines.
A President and Congress representing
American voters, processing the utmost
| LOYALTY and devotion to the welfare OF
| the American people turned about sud
denly shifting their own flesh and blooo
| to aid alien interests! Surely neither
the American tobacco farmers nor the
| American cigar manufacturers nor the
| American workmen IN our TOBACCO IN
dustries have asked either President
| Wilson or the Democratic Congress, OF
have expressed in any way or manner
| the wish and desire that the partla
| barrier kept up against the Philippines
| in the Payne-Aldrich tariff act shoulc
be removed. nor have they signifiec
| anywhere their tolerence of such re-
moval. Quite the contrary! Inc TO
| bacco farmers are on record with IN
| dignant protests to Congress against
such a removal. All the cigarmakers
unions in the country have voiced then
remonstrances against giving the Phil
ippine tobacco products an absolutely
free market in our country. And yet
the House framed and passed its tariff
bill and the Senate Finance COMMITTEES
has reported this bill without paying
the slightest attention and heed to the
/ absolutely unanimous trade protests
against the unrestricted admission O.
| Philippine tobacco products into thi
country. Who then was the powe
that defeated the unanimous exertlon
| of the American trade?-U. S. Tobacco

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The tobacco crop is now making
very satisfactory progress, though the
weather of the next month will deter
mine its fate. 1t is certain there will
be quite percentage of late tobacco
this year that will need the most fav-
orable weather to reach harvest. The
medium set fields at the present writ
ing, however, look to be the best prop
osition as meeting the ideas of what
will make the better size and heavier
growth leaf.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1913-07-25

In the report up to July /, which was
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture on July 9, the following figures
were given out as official concerning
the 1913 tobacco crop of all kinds in the
United States: Acreage, /, 144, $50; con-
dftion, 1878 per cent; yield, 8O.9 per
cent. These early reports cannot be
accepted as having much bearing upon
the final outcome of the crop, except
in a comparative way. Figures com
piled when crop is only just put out
in the fields are quite likely subject to
MANY revisions before it is ready tc
come upon the market.

and discussion, was not, he declared,
 with warmth, in keeping either with
 the tradition of the Democratic party
 nor in line with the utterances of its
 distinguished leader President Wilson. To prove that President Wilson had
 always been in favor of the utmost freedom of debate and public discus sion on public questions Senator i Hitchcock read copiously from the "NeW Freedom" one of the most quot l ed books of Woodrow Wilson. We must look to public discussion for the remedy for existing evils, Mir. Hitchcock read from the Presi- dents book. "Is this public discus sion?" asked the senator as he looked around at empty seats on both sides the chamber. Are we to be shackled and gagged, deserting the teachings of our great leader?.'
 Senator Hitchcock said senators known to have the confidence of the IICSluCHJ, I udu dSSuIGu Illm LHC cur rency bill was not to be considered as a party question. Senators with whom he had talked, had told him the President wanted it considered as an open question on the floor of the senate.
 Earlier in the day Senator Burton of Ohio, member of the Monetary Commission and author of several financial text books, delivered an elaborate speech in favor of his plan for central bank, owned and con- trolled by the people through -ne government. He pointed out at length what he conceived@to be the weakness of the bill pending before the senate and the strong points of the central bank system. However, he believed that either of the two Senate subsi-. tutes would be an improvement upon,1 existing laws.

Enthusiasm at
 Woodmen,'s Meeting
Election cf Officers, Of New Mem. bers and Initiation of Candidates
 Holds Much Attention.

Easily one of the largest attended and most entheusiastic meetings of the Pine Bluff Woodmen of the World, took place last night owing to the fact that there were several features of more than passing impor- tance. One thing was tie annual election Cf officers, another was the fact that twenty four were initiated, thirty four were elected and there we're received sixteen applications for membership.
 The effcrt to obtain a 200 class for additional membership is proving te be success. The lodge already has membership of b65.
 The officers elected for the coming year were:

 A feature of interest was the fac that Consul of Arkansas, R E. Nil. Ter. presided. That the lodges is il flourishing condition is attested bI the fact that there is membership of 38,OOO in the state.

Few Oppose Suffrage.

In Massachusetts the Anti-Suffrage Association has been collecting sig natures of women against suffrage ever since 1895. In IS years it has not succeeded in getting the names of per cent of the women of the state. In the country at large, de- spite urgent and widely-published ap- peals from the antis not one per cent of the women have enrolled them selves in their ranks. Yet this frac- tion of one percent call themselves the majority of women."

Suffrage
A Wise Man.

Stephen D. Wise is a famous rabbi well named. And he says: "I am ashamed of those women opposed to suffrage for women who fly from one bridge table to another, and at the same time say that woman who goes out into the world and takes part in making humanity better de- -stroys the family life. l say that a woman who does this brings back to her home much more than she takes away from it."

HITCHCOCK RAPS PROPOSED CAUCUS Denounces Such ill Refer ence to Pending Cur
 rency Bill.
WILSON DISAPPROVES
President in His Book, "New Free-
 is Remedy for Existing Evils.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Is decline to assume that Democrats i'll this senate are shackled and gagged. I refuse to believe until 1 see the vote cast that senators who have pledged themselves to support certain amendments in this bill will stultify themselves"
 Such was the concluding note of the stirring denunciation of caucus rule on the currency bill made by Sen ator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, Demo crat, in the Senate this afternoon Openly and boldly he declared that senators had assured him the Presi- dent did not approve of a caucus on this bill. He declared that he had been given personal pledges to sup port both in the caucus and on the floor certain amendments that he would offer. Mir. Hitchcock did not say he would eventually name the men, but there was determination in his voice that made the silence of the chamber following his denun- citation of caucus rule ominous.
 This interesting episode arose when the consideration of amendments be- gan late in the afternoon. MT. Hitch cock offered his amendment to the second section which provides for four regional reserve banks, public ownership and the control of the re- gionals by the government. He as- serted that the pending bill was the most important before Congress in fifty years and said it was a shame that men who had spent years i'll studying the subject should be com pelled to talk to empty benches.

ONCE THE HOME OF AUDUBON
Beautiful Mansion Where Great Natur allst Died Ia Now New
 York Tenement.

In dismal hollow, at the foot of One Hundred and Fifty-eighth street. New York, overlooking the Hudson, Is great square house that looks as If 1t ought to be haunted-and pen haps 1t is. It was once magnificent It's lawns were perfect and its foun. tairs played in the sunlight. On every side of 1t were other handsome homes. and all the owners were friends of long standing. Now the granite wall of Riverside drive almost cuts into the roof of this fine old mansion. Italian laborers live in it and unkempt babies sprawl upon its porches. A giant apartment house towers over 1t and only the rays of the western sun ever reach it's windows.
 1t is the old home of John James Audubon, the American naturalist. which he purchased in 1S4s and lived in for some years with hls sons Victor and John and their families He died there in 1851 and was buried In Trinity cemetery, near the woods that formed part of his estate and which were later called Audubon park. For five or six years AuhIdon park has been but memory, only 8 few dilapidated homes remaining in a hollow hemmed in by modern 'bureaus where people live in the drawers"

CONCERT IS GIVEN
At CAPITOL PARK
Varied and Brilliant Pro-
gramme-Unusually
Large Crowd

Memoli's band rendered brilliant and
varied programme in Capitol park last
night. The opening number was a beauti-
full symphonic march by an Italian COM
poser heard here for tn, first time Among
other pleasing numbers were the Poet
and Peasant overture. the intermezzo
from "Cavaleria Rusticana." and selee-
tions from III Troyatore.'
The crowd In attendance was unusually
large. Those who are especially inter-
ested in the open air concerts say there
should be more benches near the band
stand. Several hundred persons were
comfortably seated last night, but thou
sand more would have been glad to have
had seats.
The pleasure of music lovers who attend
the band concerts has been marred by
the children-boys and girls of 10 years
and upwards, who play Indian" around
the band stand. 1T is said that in future
Chief BodelSer will have an officer sta
toned near the band while the concerts
are in progress In order to prevent any
annoying play on the part OF the chill
dren.
The band will be heard in Capitol park
tonight and tomorrow night. There will
be no concert Saturday, but brilliant
programme will be prepared for Sunday
afternoon.

COMMISSIONERS
UNABLE TO AGREE
Hold Lengthy Conference on Measures
Pending, But Nothing Definite
Is Decided

The city commissioners spent several
hours in conference yesterday over the
various matters that have been pend
ing before them for some time, but ar
rived at no agreements and therefore
none of them came up at the meeting
Yesterday. The traffic ordinance, the au-
tomobile noise ordinance, the appoint
ment of smoke inspectors. the milk and
meat ordinance and other matters are
involved. 1t is considered likely that
some of them will be finally passed upon
Friday.
The milk and meat ordinance has been
again delayed, however, by the reading
of an article in a July magazine which
was brought to the attention of the COM
missoners by Judge Zell CASTOR, who
has been leading the fight against dis
eased meats. The article refers to Mont
gomery, Ala, as the place where there
are the best food and meat laws in the
United States, and the commissioners
have sent a representative to Montgom-
cry to investigate the laws there before
the local ordinance is drafted

SHEPHERD PUPPY TIED
BY NECK WITH WIRE TO
STREET CAR LAST NIGHT
by RICHARD F. LUssIER

Last night a little after s o'clock
someone between East Lake and Bir-
mingham tied with a piece of rusty
wire a puppy shepherd dog about six
months old to an inbound Tidewater
car. This fact was discovered at $50
o'clock last night as the car passed
The Age-Herald building. Earle Spang-
Ter of Shaw & Sons notified the con-
ductor of the grnesome tailpieee on his
car and quite a large crowd gathered
to watch Mr.. Spangler and few as
sistants seek TO bring back the breath
of life into the dog.
However the efforts of the good Sa-
maritans were to no avail and a few
minutes after the discovery of the
plight of the puppy shepherd dog he
was dead.
1t was trifling Incident and the
crowd which had gathered said: why,
1t is only a dead dog" and dispersed.
1t was only d dog-a smallish shep-
herd puppy and the unthoughtfuI
throng impatientiy dismissed the Incl
dent. But somewhere out in the night
some small boy or girl In the environs
or Birmingham may be signing at the
thought that the puppy is lost out in
