SPRINGFIELD, MASS. Jan. 5. 1915.
Considerable snow has fallen and
there is hard freeze throughout most
of the Connecticut tobacco centers, SO
that the roads are packed and easily
navigable. and since the holidays are
over there is great activity in the leaf
warehouses. Various packers in each
center are sorting all the way from five
to seventv-fve acres of leaf. the cold
weather is being enioved rather than
otherwise and all signs point toward a
most successful winter season. The
samples of Connecticut tobacco which
have reached the more important leaf
markets of the United States are re-
ported to have BEEN WARMLY received
and brisk movement of 1914 leaf is
foretold in this phase of the situation
It is confidently expected among grow
ers and rehandlers alike that the gross
value of the 1914 crop will show a
healthv increase over the approximate
valuation of $4,000. 900 given to the
1913 output Practically al of the
warehouses are taking all the hands
thev can get. as there is evident dispo-
sition to rush the work of taking down
the leaf as long as fair weather lasts

TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Jan. Is, 1915.

EDGERToN, WIS, Jan. Is, 1915.
Buyers are stirring about the country
districts again but they talk of lower
prices than the opening sales of the
crop and hence no very large number of
new contracts are placed. A few sales
have come to our notice at 8 cents and
one at II cents, but carload of bundle
leaf has been received for shipment
outside the state at around cents dur
ing the week. So that where the crop
is moving it is generally at lower
levels.
Some fair sized receiving days have
occurred at the packing points, but
casing weather is needed before grow
ers generally are ready to deliver. 1t
is estimated that not over 25 per cent
of the farmers have their crops ready,
while half of them or more have half
their stripping done. Warehouse
handling, therefore, is proceeding with
only moderate forces as yet, making
the asserting slow in getting under
way.
There is not much improvement to
be noted in the market for cured leaf.
Aside from lot of 'EB" tobacco sold
by Hanson Bros, we learn of no local
transactions of Importance.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 25O cases from this market since
last reDOrt.

saying that the wear lust closed was

And yet, in spite of all this. and the
fact that many of the packers were

1t is not necessary for us to add
any words to this story. The elo-

are more convincing than arguments

CFrom the Oklahoman)

Former Senator Joseph w. Bailey of
Texas came to Oklahoma City We'd
nesday evening and held a great au-
dience spellbound while he delivered
an eloquent Grafton on Lawyers and
the Law Courts" It was the address
extraordinary of the state bar associa-
tion's convention and it left the hun
dreds of lawyers that packed the ban
quet room of the Skirvin hotel think
ing better of themselves which is
the way the former senator stated the
case himself.
The Joe Bailey of old was speaking.
He took his audience of attorneys and
iudges-pus a scattering of their la
dies-into the palms of his two hands,
thrilled them with his ringing words
and inspired them by his vision of the
lofty place of the lawyer and the
jurist in the American nation.
There were 5000 words in his ora
ton and the audience drank in every
one. Once, perhaps twothirds through
his discourse, he stopped and said, 81

time here tonight" but his auditors

1T is alleged that all lawyers do not
live up to the oath they take when
they are admitted to the bar, that they

WESTERN UNION VACATIONS
Employees, for First Time in History
of Company, Get Time on.

If the wires OF the Western Union
Telegraph Company hummed joyfully
to-day, II the instruments clicked with
more than wonted merriment and oper-
ators and clerks seemed to radiate JOY
It was all because of an announcement
from the head Office Of the company
here, declaring that there would be
vacations for all employees next sum
mer.
For the first time in the history Of
the Western Union Company every
one, IL he had been employed the re-
quired length Of time, was to receive
two weeks off with full pay.
T can only speak about the traffiic
department" said w. +. Fashbaugh,
general superintendent Of traffic OF the
Western Union, last night, "but, ac-
cording TO the announcement that has
lust been made, all employees who
have been with us a year will receive
a one-week vacation, and those here
two years or over will get two weeks.
That will affect fully 10000 men and
women in this department"
Vacations on n similar basis will be
extended TO other departments. Here
tofore they have been limited chiefly
10 officials and those in clerical posi-
tions. About $4,000 employees will be
benefited by the departure.

MELLEN BOUGHT
VERTICAL FARM
Intended as Home, but
Sold to Railroad for
Twice What He Paid.
EVIDENCE SOUGHT
IN NEGRO'S THROAT
U. S. Agents Peeped Down 1t
When Seeking New Haven
Papers, Witness Says.

The governments attorneys in the
New Haven trial, prevented from put
ting in evidence regarding the West
chester deal, yesterday took up the
New Haven's agreements with the
Grand Trunk for the alleged purpose
of suppressing competition.
The main points brought out by doc
uments and testimony of Charles S.
Mellen, who continued as a govern
ment witness. were that the Grand
Trunk gave up the construction Of
competitive lines and that the New
Haven gave traffic advantages to the
Grand Trunk over its own lines equal
to those which the rival company would
have enjoyed if it had built parallel
lines into New Haven territory.
Mr.. Mellen amused the court by his
story of how be bought what he termed
q perpendicular farm at Sturbridge,
Mass, on which to spend his declining
years.
The farm was located, he explained,
in a gap that railroad wouId want 10
put a line through If it were building
into that territory, as the Grand Trunk
later did. 1t is fact, not produced
in evidence, that Mellen later sold his
perpendicular farm to the railroad for
twice what he paid for it.
Much of the Grand Trunk matter
brought out yesterday was fresh ma
terial, because at the time the New
Haven was investigated by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission hearings
in Washington last year Mellen was
under indictment for the Grand Trunk
transactions, and was not forced TO tell
all he knew.
He told how he used $4,000 to get
information in regard to the Grand
Trunk when the fight between it and
the New Haven began, prior to the am
icable relations finally established.
Among other things, he said. he
learned that the Grand Trunk, a Ca
madam company, was subsidized by the
Dominion government to extend its
operations in the Canadian Northwest.
and that this money was being used
to promote its interests in New Eng
land.

facts public, not only in New England.

would know what the company was co-
