TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, April "a, 1914.


The tobacco growers of the state
have been quite busy during the week
preparing the seed beds for another
crop and the white tops are again dot
ting the fields. The process of steril-
izing the seed beds is being employed
by good many growers in all parts of
the state, with the prospect of becom-
ing quite general in years to come.
The remnants of last seasons crop is
selling slowly. Probably the bulk re-
naming in growers hands is of low
grade order and the buyers of stem
ming goods do not appear to be espec-
tally anxious to increase their holdings.
Warehouse work is still dragging
along because of the thinning out of
the help, so that the packing season is
likely to be extended for several weeks
yet. Recent warm weather has caused
the bundle bulks to start warming up,
but generally the tobacco has been
kept in fine condition for the sorting
tables.
The market for old goods is extreme
ly quiet.
The shipments out of storage reach
1900 cases from this market to all
points since last report.

NEW YORK, April 18, 1914.

Business in the market does not seem
to be just now of the liveliest sort.
The sluggishness in the cigar industry
undoubtedly accounts also for the slug
gishness in the leaf market. Never
theless there has been excellent trad
ing in some types, particularly in our
domestic shades grown leaf and to an
extent never reached before. And the
demand for it is evidently on the in
crease, too. In the Sumatra line the
earlier reports of the inscriptions seem
to have given it somewhat Of set
back, as the new crop was being her
aided as selling too high, and as COM
ing somewhat short of it's usual yield.
But the samples of goods of the first
sales which are just being exhibited
for inspection show in the better lots
at least the older reliability in yield as
we'll as in light colors. The tobacco
seems to be of remarkably even color
of the genuine brownish tobacco cast,
where it is not extremely light. and is
said to yield from one and half to one
and three-quarters. With such yield
ing capacity and texture qualifications
it is not surprising that the price ruled
accordingly.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Apr. IA,

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Apr. IA, 1914.
Little progress has been made the
past week in sowing seed beds in the
Connecticut valley. Freezing temper
atures have prevailed almost every
night and young plants would have
Jared badly, unless protected by arti-
fetal heat, if the seed had been in the
ground sufficiently long to germinate.
Here and there a grower with special
facilities has beds in which the young
plants have pushed through the soil.
Fifteen or twenty years ago the grow
er who had not planted his seed beds
by the middle of April would have been
regarded as dilatory. The experience
Of more recent years, however, has
shown that early set tobacco Except
shaded tobacco has not in the long run
proved to be the most desirable part of
the crop. In recent years, too, many
growers have found themselves over
supplied with plants of undesirable size
long before the transplanting season
was over. Had there been less haste
to SOW the seed beds in some recent
years growers would have been more
advantageously situated as regards
plants of desirable size at the fag end
of the transplanting season.
A year ago many growers had plants
we'll above ground and the setting out
of the shaded crop began early in May.
At this writing it seems doubtful
whether any of the shaded crop gets a
start in the fields before May Is, and
there is every indication that the great
er part of the sun-grown crop will be
set out in June.

A down east Yankee has discovered
that chicken incubator makes first
class place to sprout tobacco seed.
After the dampened seed has been
placed in an incubator two or three
days it is sprouted and ready for the
beds, and it requires but little atten-
tion in the meantime.

LANCASTER, Pa, April Is, 1914.
With no present business to speak
of, the local packers still are hopeful
Inquiries are now coming in about the
1912 goods, and sales would soon be in
order if inquirers and packers could
agree on prices. The 1912 goods are
depended upon to put little money in
their holders pockets, not much, but
some, and very naturally they are dis
inclined for sacrifices. The tobacco is
beyond question as to quality, and as
there is not very great deal of that
years packing on the market, it is rea-
sonable to think that it will be in de-
mand with the trade, sooner or later
Up to date it may be doubted wheth-
er half of the new crop has yet been
sold.
In the last two or three letters refer
ence has been made as to the uncer-
tainty of this years acreage in Lancas-
ter county. The highest acreage was
a few years ago, 1900, but it gener-
ally has run in recent years to about
16, 900. If any reliance can be placed
on the reports received by the Lancas-
ter County Tobacco Growers associa-
ton and farmers societies, then it is
doubtful if this years set-out will run

REVELLE OPPOSES TAXING
LIFE INSURANCE PREMIUM

Jefferson City, Dec. 2-State Super
intendent of Insurance Charles G. Re-
velle has ruled that it is contrary to
the spirit and letter of the Federal act
for life insurance companies to re-
quire the insured to pay the war tax
on insurance premiums. This tax
amounts to one-half of l per cent of
the premiums and amounts in Mis-
souri, to approximately $4,000 a year.
The Superintendent wired insur-
ance company officials and their repre-
sentatives that while under the pres
ent laws of Missouri they have the
right to fix rates within the State,
they should not undertake to compel
the insured or the agents to pay this
Federal war tax.

POLICE FIRE AT SOCIETY
WOMAN IN AUTOMOBILE
Accused of Speeding After Hitting

Chicago, Dec. 2-Mrs. Hugo Du
Brock, wife of q wealthy shirt manu-
facturer and prominent socially, was
arrested early today after an exciting
chase, in which the police fired sever
al shots at Mrs. Du Brock, who was
speeding away in her automobile. The
police say she ran down and seriously
injured Richard Staple, Sc, and then
forced her car at high speed through
a crowd that attempted to detain her
until the police came.
Mrs. Du Brock was returning home
with a party of friends. Two women
in her party became hysterical when
the policemen's bullets began to sing
about the speeding auto. Detectives
commandeered another car and cap
tured Mrs. Du Brock.

Young fhHlHoch is
Ready for Mvaders
Builds Fart IN Back Yard
and Calls Himself the Kaiser
Var NeWa hsDires
Youth.

Master Phil Hoch, youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Phil A. Hoch, has de-
cided that this city is likely to be in
vaded by an unfriendly army and he
is prepared to take care of the Hoch
home, at least.
After listening to his father read a
few stories about digging trenches
and erecting forts, Master Phil, who is
ten years old, reached the conclusion
that quick action was necessary.
Without informing his family, the
young man retired to the back yard
and began to excavate. After he had
gone as deep as he thought safety de-
manded, he threw up a breastwOrks
and began the construction of the fort.
Toy guns were installed and their
barrels were located so that he could
get line on the enemy no. matter
from which direction they approached.
After completing the bulwark, the
young man covered it over and on the
top he raised small American flag.
Master Phil kept the secret to him
self, but his father discovered it. Mr..
Hoch was somewhat surprised yester-
day morning when he looked out of a
rear window and discovered what
looked like it might have been an in
fernal machine.
81 wonder what on earth that is"
said Mr.. Hoch to his wife, as he look
ed with astonishment at the mound.
The mystery grew deeper the closer he
came to the fort When he was about
ready to summon the police, he no.
ticed a small American flag waving
from the top of the contraption.
"That is some of Mister Phillips
work." remarked Mr.. Hoch, and be-
fore he could identify it, his young
son appeared. "What is this young
man." asked the merchant of his son.
why that's a FORT" replied the boy.
ave can't let the enemy come in here.
l am going to repulse 'em. Pm the
Kaiser"
The merchant took the young mans
word for it, and the fort is going to
remain until the war is over.

SUIT WILL TEST THE

Lawyer in Petition, Says Street
Car Company Has Kept All of
It's Agreements.

The Cape Girardeau & Jackson In
terurban Railroad Company, by its
attorneys, Oliver & Oliver, of this
city, filed suit yesterday in the Cir
cult Court of this county, against the
Light & Development Company, in
which the plaintiff asks for the speci-
fic performance of the contract for the
purchase of the street car line, which
it is claimed they have heretofore re-
fused to perform on the ground that
the street car company had no legal
and valid franchise in the city of Cape
Girardeau; and on the further ground
that the Missouri Public Utilities
Company, successor of the Cape Cir
ardeau Water Works & Electric
Light Company, has not received a
gas franchise and other franchises,
and contract, as provided in the con-
tract of purchase.
In an in terview with a Tribune
representative last evening, Senator
r. B. Oliver of the firm of Oliver &
Oliver, in discussing the suit, said:
"The Light & Development Com
pany, in February, 1913, entered into
a contract with the street railway
company, to take over the railway
company on one eonditionj
THAT the city grant the Water &
Light Company new franchise for
light and water; and upon the further
condition, that the city grant to the
railway company new franchise re-
lieving it from the necessity Of ex-
tending its line to Jackson, and elm
mating the right of the railway COM
pany to furnish light to the city, and
also eliminating the right of tele-
phone franchise. In other words, the
street railway company wanted new
franchise minus the light and tele-
phone, and minus the obligation to ex-
tend.
"There was a further condition that
the street railway company should re-
ceive from the City of Cape Girar-
deau, new franchise which should
be in accordance with the provisions
of the statute, what was termed 2
statutory franchise.
"Those things were all done by the
city, and the water works and electric
light company was granted a new
charter, and the new charter granted
the street railway company was
drawn by l. R. Kelso, attorney of the
light and development company.
after that was done the light and
development company raised the ques-
ton that the franchise given by the
city to the company was not a sta
tutory franchise, although it was
drawn by their own attorney.
"While that question was in contro-
versy, L. S. Joseph and W. H. Miller,
died, and the matter has since been
held in allegiance.
''The purpose of bringing the suit
is to determine whether or not the
franchise that the city gave to the
street railway company is a valid
statutory franchise"
The case will come up for trial in
Jackson at the January term, 1915
of the Circuit Court.
