that the committee had acted fairla
and impartially, and had neither de-
Tended nor prosecuted Mr.. lWelch

lent testimony had gone before the

feat Immediately and demanded an

these products have been mainly OBJ
tanned in Germany and England from

have had to depend largely on these
sources. The federal government
now proposes to obtain toluol and
benzol from crude petroleum. These
products can be produced from prac-
tically aay American petroleum. The
supply can be made sufficient not
only for the entire American trade,
but also for other purposes and at Z

Liberal extracts from the 1900
pages of testimony taken by the com
mittee are embodied in the report
with this comment:
Considerable testimony on bott
sides of the controversy. we believe
unreliable and no confidence should
be placed in it. Colorado has good
mining laws and such that ought to
afford protection to the miner if they
are enforced, yet in this state the per-
centage OF fatalities is larger than any
other, showing there is undoubtedly
something wrong in reference to the
management Of its coal mines
1T seems the militia was on the side
of the operators in this controversy"
says the report, after reciting the
action Of the governor in calling out
the state troops, and the evidence
seems conclusively to prove such to
have been the case. The sooner men
armed in the service of the stats
learn that the men with whom they
may deal may be poor and ignorant
and even violators of the law, but are
still human, the better it will be for
all concerned.
'The recruiting of mine guards az
members Of the militia. in our judg-
ment was mistake, since intense
animosity had existed for some time
between the mine guards and the
miners and it was difficult or even
for the miners to feel that
these men were neutral conservators
of the peace. Some of the militiamen
seized the opportunity, while clothed
with the authority of the state, to en-.
gage in various lawless acts.

IS BETTER THAN IN MANY YEARS Agricultural Conditions Are Much More Favorable. Sugar Estates in Splen-
 did Shape

Kingston. Jamaica, September 6-(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press.) Notwithstanding damage done to the banana crop by the recent hurricane, it is declared that agricultural conditions in Jamaica are generally more favorable than at any time during the past eight years Providing transportation difficult ties can be overcome and ready market for products is available, it is declared that the coming year should prove ban ner one in the islands history.
 Reasonable rains are now falling and the sugar estates are in splendid shape. The only doubtful staple is cotton, bu this occupies a very minor position among the products of the island; in fact, it can scarcely be said ohave gone beyond the experimental stage. In referring to the sea island cotton that has been growing in different localities with vary results, the chief of the agricultural department recently said: ''It looks as though sea , island cotton were too delicate and unre- lia ble a staple to command an important lace among the islands products grown for export
 On the other hand. some of the cotton growers are very optimistic and declare that results averaging as high as $103 an acre have been attained in certain socali- ties under favorable conditions Tn other regions, however. the crop has been an entire failure. and the figures for the ex : port values of cotton sustain the pessimis- tic opinion of the head of the agricul- tural department.
 Experiments have been made during the past two years with perennial variety called cauto cotton, which is not subject to the same disabilities as sea island cot ton and Is naturally adapted for growing on rough limestone and rocky country of which the island offers an unlimited acreage It produces a good, clean staple. coarse and strong, and compares favor ably with the tough Peruvian variety, it's growers declare. This variety was intro duced into Jamaica by a syndicate which sought to keep the product entirely in its own hands by controlling, under cast iron agreements. al. the cotton as well as the seeds produced. This attempt to create a monopoly, however. has en- tireIy broken down and small settlers In increasing numbers are growing this va rlety of cotton. Further. 1t Is stated that reports from England on the cauto cotton are 50 encouraging that large and im- mediate extension of the acreage under
 cultivation is contemplated.

 The Alabama legislature failed to pass many big and splendid measures but none was so glaringly muddled or so fit tered away as the bill for the abolition of the prison lease system. And why? Be- cause they put dollars before men and neglected the human side of the prisoners world.
 Again. must Alabama face the disgrace
 of such measure as the convict lease system. again must we sit in fear that
 daily the prisoners of this state must en- danger their lives and suffer accidents

loan, the remuneration to the syndicate and to those who are organizing it will very likely be considerably less, compar- atively speaking, than was the remunera- ton of those who made up the United States Steel underwriting syndicate For if anything was well established while these English French negotiations were pending it was that the American bank CTS a whole do not look upon this as an opportunity for large money making. The indirect results which will follow the making of the loan will doubtless be of a pecuniary advantage not merely to farmers, merchants and manufacturers who sell goods to England and France. but will also entail large banking trans actions.
 The underwriting syndicate is commonly reported to have been first undertaken, at least upon any large scale, at the time of the organization of the so-caled sugar trust, about 30 years ago. With that or ganization of an underwriting syndicate the late John E. Parsons was conspicu- ously identified. Those who were familiar with the circumstances associated with this organization were accustomed to say that MT. Parsons received his pay for his services in organizing the trust and in assisting in organizing the syndicate in sugar trust certificates and that these appreciated so greatly in value that his actual return was about 100 per cent greater than the fee named by him for his services
