ter part of the month or early in April
the movement OF seed potatoes starts.
and many thousand bushels of them
will be brought by the same route to

abouts from which to grow the fall

WHILE HUNTING A CURE
New York Physician Says He Be-
came Victim Of His Ex-
periments.

NEW YORK. March 11.-While labor
ing to discover a cure for the opium
smoking habit which wealthy patients
of his had contracted, DR.. Herman
Seidler fell a victim to the persuasion
of the drug, according to his testimony
yesterday in his own defense iE the
federal court. where he is charged with
having manufactured smoking opium
without license. DIR. Seidler thus ex-
planned the finding of crude opium and
pipes in his possession.
Most of his acquaintances were
opium smokers, he said, and to cure
them of the habit he had experimental
with the drug. acquiring liking for it
himself. Last October he had decided to
discontinue the experiments because he
had not been able to find a cure. and
had then made up his mind to break
himself of the habit. sending his stock
Of opium and pipes to "a warehouse
Later the craving ovcrcame him. and
he then took single smoking set from
his trunk. which was found when tho
raid on his sanitarium was made last
November.
Many of DR.. Soldiers patrons are said
to be prominent.

SUIT may Be BROUGHT
AGAINST TOBACCO Co.
Alleged Distributing Agent for the
Producers Is Probably Facing
Prosecution.

Attorney General McReynolds has de-
cided. it is understood to prepare a suit
against the, Metropolitan Tobacco Com
pany OF New York, under the Sherman
antitrust act. This step was determined
upon following the submission of certain
evidence to Attorney General McReynolds
by H. snoUden Marshall. United states
district attorney at New York, and his
assistant. c. A. Thompson. who has
charge of the investigation of the case.
Determinations Alleged.
Tho principal complaint against the
Metropolitan company is alleged dis
examinations against independent tobacco
dealers. The metropolitan acts as the
distributing agent for producing COM
panies that made up the old tobacco
cipal defendant In suit brought by the
government the producing companies
would necessarily be parties to the
action.
The question of criminal prosecutions
of the officials Of the companies has not
been settled. Mr.. Marshall returned to
New York last night. but Mr.. Thompson
stayed In Washington for further con
ferences with the Department Of Justice
officials.
The Metropolitan company has been
under investigation by the depart
ment for several months. Independent
dealers have charged that Its grip on
the business of Greater New York
Long Island and jersey City is firm
and powerful, and that they are in
worse condition than before the Su-
prene Court ordered the dissolution of
the old American Tobacco Company.
Severance of Relations Discussed.
officials of the disintesrated COM
panies of the old American Tobacco
Company. which use the Metropolitan
company as distributing agent. have
talked with department officials about
a severance of their relations. and as
a result the understanding here Is that
a conspiracy in restraint OF trade will
not be charged in the government suit,
though action would be based upon
the allegation that there is restraint
OF trade.
The fact that there have been some
negotiations between the officials Of
the tobacco companies and representa-
tives of the department was pointed
out as a reason for believing that the
entire matter might be settled out Of
court.

Urges Lincoln Model.

Mr.. Brown strongly urged that this Lin
coin be taken as the statue TO be placed
in the Lincoln memorial to be erected in
this city. 1t could. he insisted. be en-
larged and duplicated and would most
perfectly represent Lincoln the states
man and the man.
Mr. Brown laid emphasis upon the quail

Its power OF uplift. He also told Of Saint
Gaudens' painstaking methods of work
and his determination that nothing less
good than his best should go from his
hand. Finally he placed on the screen
the following saying Of Saint-Gaudens:
You can do what you please; it is the
way 1t is done that makes the difference.
The lecture was profusely illustrated by

Saint-Gaudens was given by Glenn

his work In the round.
Deprecates Changes in Coins.
Mr.. Brown deprecated the changes
made in the coins designed by Saint
Gaudens for the United States, which
were said not TO stack, but were in
reality little overweight and might
have been made thinner rather than
lower to obviate the fault.
He also declared that the eagle mod
eled by Saint-Gaudens was the correct
eagle rather than the one SO long used
as the American insignia
The figure Of the Adams memorial in
Rock Creek cemetery variously known
as The Peace of God" Mystery and
ETERNITY" was specially commented
upon as a great masterpiece, inspir-
ing and profound. and the statue Of

MORE CANDIDATES FOR LEGISLATURE EXPECTED TOQU|T County Politics Featured by the Formation of Two
 States FINAL OUTCOME IS MERE SPECULATION Candidates for Sheriff Vigorous. Other Races Are Oyershadowed
 by More Spectacular
 Contests
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

For q fair test of prohibition in Jeffer- cor county there are still IA legislative candidates too many.
 County politics was featured last week by the formation of two slates, a pro- hibition and a local option slate, and the retirement of four of the original ss candidates. Two of the four retired in favor of the prohibition slate. Two retired in favor of the local option slate
 As to whether or not rumor will be authenticated by the retirement of other candidates before the conclusion of the week, remains to be seen It is a safe estimate, however, that as many as five perhaps six-members of the delegation will be elected from the personnel of the two tickets. 1t will require an un- usually strong man to break his way through the handicap of the deep and abiding interest centered in the rival tickets
 In the race four years ago the local option slate was broken-although six of its candidates were successful Walker Percy won without the aid of the slate.

Attempt to March to the Boulevards Is Quickly

Paris, March 29.-French suffragettes today made their first attempt to hold an outdoor meeting on a street off the boulevards. The meeting had been frowned on by the principal woman suf- frage associations and consequently there were few women who responded to the call. A compact throng of male spec tators was on hand for the proposed demonstration, however.
 On big board which hung from the balcony of a nearby building was the following inscription: "We want votes fer women. We want to collaborate in making the laws we obey. We denounce With indignation the legal sham which gives us the quality of Frenchwomen without the rights of citizens.
 Several women made speeches, after which an attempt was made to march to the boulevards, but the demonstrators were dispersed by the police.
