ENOUGH TURKISH
TOBACCO FOR YEARS

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, April 19-There is no occa-
sion to fear a shortage in the supply
of Turkish. or as il is now described
on the London market, Macedonian
tobacco. There is a stock of the to-
bacco now in warehouse sufficient to
last nearly three years, and moreover
it is stated that there is every reason
to expect a harvest this year almost
up to the normal.
The real difficulty. il is said, is not
the tobacco leaf, but the supply of pa
per Cigarette paper comes from
France, and the standard brands can
now be obtained only with difficulty
Spain and Italy are trying to produce
q paper which will fill the bill
The Macedonian tobacco comes
from Kavala, which was coded 10
Greece after the late war. and the
Greek Government is so improving
and extending the cultivation OF the
plant that the yield is already much
better than if was under Turkish rule,

MEN ASK
HARBOR OF REFUGE
AT CAPE NEDDICk

VI VI lidAQ ISSSD
The proposition to have a harbor Of
refuge erected at Capt Neddick Har-
Dor in the town of York has come to
life again, and petitions are once more
being circulated among the shipping
people asking that something be done
in the matter. Commodore Dyer Of
the Portland Yacht club and Comma
dore Clark Of the Bower Boat club.
have copies, and there are several Of
them circulating among the steam
boat men, fishermen and others to
whom the harbor would prove a great
boon in time of storm and stress.
Cape Neddick harbOr is fine as far as
depth Of water goes, and but for its
open and exposed mouth would prove
an ideal place as il is now. There is a
depth of at least so feet at meanlow
tide in all winds, but unfortunately
II is open to the full rake of the sea
with a wind coming anywhere from
the eastward. The petition asks for a
breakwater to be built out from
Weare's point. This project got so far
about 20 years ago as to have a sur
vey made and a report was forward
ed to headquarters, but it was side
tracked for other and supposedly more
important matters and has never been
taken up since until just now.

Printing Arguments
Justice Andrews remarked after argu-
ments on printing lasting nearly an hour
that he believed many of the points made
by the counsel for both sides were too
technical. He also said that SO far there
had been no evidence that Mr.. Barnes
had participated in profits, if any, gained
! illegally He ruled that evidence con-
corning the printing situation in Albany
should be admitted but that unless Mr.
Barnes was connected directly later on
such evidence might be stricken from the
record.
The jury was then brought back and
Mr. Dolan answering questions said the
Argus Co. of Albany first received a
contract for legislative printing in 1858.
From then on his testimony was nearly
identical with that he gave when a wit.
ness before before the Bayn legislative
committee which investigated the print
ing situation and municipal affairs in
Albany a few years ago. The report
made by the Bayne committee was filed
with the answer made by Col. Roosevelt
to the complaint of Mr.. Barnes. Mr.
Dolan swore that he never had any bust
ness dealings with Mr.. Barnes. He said
nearly all his business was done with
John H. Lindsay, business manager of
the Journal compnny. The witness told
of the relations between the three print
ing concerns in Albany which do printing
for the state, the county and city Of Al
ban. Of bids for public printing he said
he considered them q gamble.
The witness said that the type compo-
sition Of bills were often kept for as
long as eight months, if it appeared that
an opportunity TO reuse it might be
given the company. On occasions one Of
the three printing concerns he said
would sell composition to one Of the
Others which t.ai an order to fill As an
example of why composition was KEEP.
the witness said ta>t sometimes bills
were amended and "a; with the chang
ing of a few lines or words the old type
composition that had been used in the
printing of the original bill could he
used over again
Mr.. Twins then called the attention OF
the witness TO the annual report Of the
