PRICE OF TOBACCO HIGHER
Crop Shortage Is Expected in Porto |
Rico. !

Crop Shortage Is Expected in Porto
Rico
San Juan, Porto Rico, May 10.-The
Porto Rican tobacco crop will fall for
short of the estimate made during the
growing season and as a consequence
highest tobacco prices in ten years
are prevailing. The present crop will
amount to approximately 100000
pounds instead of 100000 or 20 ,0OO,-
900 as expected.
Prices for sungrown tobacco ranges
about 80 cents pound, as compared
with 20 cents last year and Is cents
for the crop two years ago. Tobacco
men estimate this years crop will
bring between 100000 and $4,000
900 more than that of last year. The
United States in 1915 purchased T.
100000 pounds of Porto Rican leaf to-
bacco, valued at 100000, and 17o,-
100000 cigars, valued at 100000.

IRELAND IS CRIPPLED
IN REIGN OF TERROR

London, May 10.-A reign of terror
in Ireland following the quelching OF
the recent revolt was charged to the
government in questions flung at
Premier Asquith in the house of com
mons by William O'Brien, Nationalist
member from the city of Cork
The occasion was a discussion OF
executions and arrests in Ireland fol-
lowing the Dublin riots.
The Nationalist member asked
whether the premier was aware that
hundreds of men from Cork and Tip,
perary had been arrested without any
charge being named and confined in
the Cork Jail, where they were harsh,
ly treated.
He also asked whether any steps
would be taken to allay the universal
public indignation over the actions of
the authorities.

BOOMS ROOSEVELT

Chicago, May 10.--Lafayette Young,
former United States senator from
Iowa, publisher of the Des Moines
Capital and one Of the influential Re-
publicans in the Middle West, came to

Mr. Young is of the opinion that
the Middle West is only awaiting the
nomination of Roosevelt to send hin
back to the White House. i
In Iowa politics Mr.. Young and
Senator Albert B. Cummins, candi-
date for the Republican presidential
nomination, have been in opposite
Iowa factions of the Republican par.

 Permanently.

DAWSON. Y. T., Sept 25.-An application for the recount of the votes cast in the Whitehorse dis trict in the recent prohibition elec- tion in Yukon Territory was filed formally by the drys. The vets then applied for a recount in the South Dawson district and Bonanza district. thinking that they would gain enough in the recount in those two districts to offset any thing the drys might gain in the Whitehorse district Argument on the application was made before Judge Macaulay in the Territorial court today by lawyers represent ing the respective sides. Judgment was reserved.
 The vets claimed the special or dmance passed by the Yukon Coun- coil iast June. under which the con test was held, did not provide for a recount. It is understood the drys hope under the recount to throw out the Braeburn ballot box. which they claim was advertised to go to Kluane and was withheld from prop or legal notification.
