CANTRILL Wins
TOBACCO fight
To Be Included In Federal
WarehouSing Bill.
Legislation Will Go Long Way
Toward Relieving
Stringency.

Washington, Oct. 12-Kentucky
tobacco has won its fight to be in
/ cluded in the warehouse bill now be-
fore the House, which in its present
form includes specially no crop ex-
cept cotton. The victory for tobac-
CO has been achieved after much
maleuvering. Representative. Can
trill, of Kentucky, who is a member
OF the Committee OIL Rules, was in
a position to force terms.
The Hill passed the Senate with to-
bacco included. on motion of Sena-
tor Fletcher, of Florida The House
Committee on Agriculture struck out
tobacco. The House Rules Commit
tee will meet Tuesday when It is
probable tina; a rule will be framed
up and reported but which will take
care OF the Kentucky tobacco situa-
ton and of tobacco in all of the
twenty-six States where the crop is
raised to a greater or less extent
The members from the tobacco
States have exacted a promise that
the rule shall provide that the House
shall have the right to amend the
bill and also have received assurance
that the Committee on Rules will as
sist in his efforts to have tobacco
specifically included. This probab-
ly means that an amendment will be
adopted extending the same privil-
eyes to tobacco as are extended to
cotton. That the bill will pass in
this form and become a law at the
present session of Congress now
seems likely.
The bill provides for the licensing
of warehouses by the Government
and putting the Governments o. X.
being equivalent to guaranty that
the tobacco is held under conditions
which make the lending of money on
it a perfectly safe venture. 1t is ex-
'pected the Legislature will go long
way toward relieving whatever strin-
gency exists on account of the tobac-
co market.
1t is pointed out that it will be es-
pecially easy to put the legislation
in force in Kentucky. because the
warehouses there are the best in any
agriculture section and belong to the
farmers. AT Lexington the Burley
Tobacco Company has the largest
loose-leaf warehouse in the world.

Hernandez threw him into the dun
geon he threatened every day to take
his life, and in a most barbarous
manner. He told the consul, accord
ing to Mr.. Silliman, of cruelties
which had been inflicted upon Amer
leans in Mexico, adding that his life
was being spared for the time being
in order to make his execution sort
of holiday. He told him that already
United States Consul Hanna had been
killed. Among other stories, Mr.. Sill
Imam said he heard was one to the
effect that Mexico had formally de-
clared war against United States !;
that all internal differences had been
settled; that the Mexican army of in
vasion had already crossed the Rio
Grande and had marched through
Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri to St.
Louis. Although the consul knew
better, he was careful not to dispute
the statement of Hernandez, because
of fear of what might happen subse-
quently.
At the time of Silliman's arrest
Hernandez was in military command
at Saltillo. He was formerly secre-
tary to Gen. Gustave Mas, Huerta's
commander, who evacuated Vera
Cruz upon the arrival of the United
States troops. Pror to this Herman
DEE was newspaper man, employed
on Ell impartial of the City of Mex
leo. Mr.. Silliman credited him with
being the "bitterest hater of Ameri-
cans in Mexico" and gives him cred
it for having inspired Gen. Mas
hatred of Americans.
The case of Hernandez, his speedy
trial and the deportation prepara-
tons, are an indication of what is
to follow in San Antonio in the Mex
lean situation. District Attorney
Camps deep interest in the case is
shown through the fact that he per-
sonally prepared the charges against
the official and personally conducted
the prosecution before Judge Ed
wards. @e
1t is felt in San Antonio and at
that in the event of the
Western District of Texas is cleared
of the trouble makers, a different
aspect on the Mexican situation will
speedily present itself.

Chicago, ILL.,. October 12.-Illinois'
new law, which provides a penalty
for any landlord or owner of build

the latter has children, or acquires
them, is to be given it's first test in
this city.
Charles F. Congleton, wealthy res
taurant and flat owner, who has just
returned from Europe. was arrested
on the charge that ]. Warren Isott,
one of his tenants, had been refused
a lease, the agent giving as the rea-
son the fact that there had been
born to the Isotts baby. Isott rent
ed an apartment of Congleton Nov
ember 1, 1911, and in June following
a baby was born to his wife. In
May of this year the agent of the

State, and in a number of cases II Is
plain that disturbances we're created
by their agents for the purpose OF
throwing disgrace upon the farmers
organization.
No one ever had "a better oppor-
tunity to aid his struggling people
in an unequal fight, than did Will
son, and he threw IL away, either
purposcly or ignorantly. That 1t
was done purposely is scarcely to be
denied The fact, that he ran away
from his engagement with Judge
O'Rear and went to Louisville, where
IL is believed he met with the repre-
sentatives of the Tobacco Trust in
consultation the night before the
meeting, and the further fact, that
the representatives of the Trust con-
tributed money to him in his race
for the nomination against Mr..
Ernst last August, certainly clinches
the matter so far as the Ex-Governor
Is concerned. S..
When Governor Wilson thinks
that he has the tobacco growers of
Kentucky hoodwinked on this prop
osition and that they will support
him and place him in power TO do
them still further injury, he will
wake up to find himself mistaken on
the 3rd of November, next.

the measure was a provisional one
taken in the interests of public well ,
