"A NelD Thing
for a Cigarette to Do

CHESTERFIELDS do the one thing
you have always wished cigarette
iconid do-they SatiStyl
Smoke them and we believe you will
find that ordinary cigarettes seem by
comparison almost fiat.
Give Chesterfields Geo for 10 cents)
a trial. We believe you will be glad to
learn what they can teach you about
cigarette enjoyment.
You have been reading here some
rather unusual, almost daring, state
ments about a cigarette. If Chesterfeds
were an untried cigarette = if we had
not been observing their behavior in
other cities-if we did not KNOW that
they make good with smokers, we could
not afford to make these statements to
you over our signature.
But these statements, strong as they
are, can mean little or nothing to you
until you have actually smoked your first
Chesterfield.
You will find that your own dealer
has Chesterfelds waiting for you.

JUDGE CLEARS OSBORNE.
COURT DIRECTS VERDICT OF
ACQUITTAL FOR WARDEN.
Former Prison officials Course Before
Dicdling Described as Standing by
Pledges to Prisoners.

White Plains. N. S., March 15.-
Thomas Mott Osborne, prison reform
|er, Harvard graduate, twice mayor o.
Auburn, N. Y, and former warden OF
Sing Sing, was acquitted on the charge
of perjury by direction of Justice
Tompkins to jury in the supreme
court here today.
Justice Tompkins in long opinion,
held that DR.. Rudolf Diedling, q
State prison commissioner, was with
out authority under the State prison
law when he investigated. singlehand-
cd. Osborne's administration Of Sing
Sing. It was before DR.. DiedIing that
Osborne last October committed the
alleged perjury by swearing, as charg-
cd, that he was without knowledge of
certain cases of immortality.
S Justice Tompkins held there was no
perjury committed by Osborne mas
much as the warden had the righ,
to keep inviolate the pledges given
convicts who had confessed their i'm
morality to him.
To make out the crime Of perjury,
the court held, it must appear that
false testimony was knowingly and
wilfully given by Osborne under oath.
"The jury would not be justified In
finding wilful intent or purpose on
the part of the defendant" he said.
His refusal to answer and his evasivo
replies were to keep good the promise
he had made to the men when they
confessed to him their offenses and
received their punishment under pris-
on management. namely. that they
would not be subject to further pun
ishment therefor and that he would
80 to- Jail rather than betray thei-
confidence" ~
Justice Tompkins held further that
there can be no perjury unless tho
proceeding In which the testimony is
given is authorized by law. There in
no proof here that DR.. Diediing was
authorized by law to conduct this in
veshgation or administer an OATH"
When Justice Tompkins had rem:
dered his opinion and discharged tho
jury. George Gordon Battle. Os.
borne's chief counsel. moved that the
jury be kept in it's seats and that the
trial be begun Immediately. on an
other indictment pending against
Osborne charging neglect of duty and
immortality. District Attorney Weeks
said he was not prepared to proceef
with the trial, and the court held tllis'
dispute was not question for him to
decide and dismissed the jury.

 RAPIDLY RI COVERING
Believed Water Will Have Re- ceded From Most of Streets by Night-Many Houses Still Have Water in Them

Newport, Feb. 4.-Cleanirg houses and moving stocks of goods into their usual place has been the order in Newport today, though many of the houses still have water in them. It is believed that by tomorrow night most of the water will be gone from the streets except in the lower part of the city. In these lower places the water is several feet deep tonight.
 While the damage in personal prop erty is much less than last August, the damage to the streets is much greater, many are badly washed. The Iron Mountain tracks are rapidly be- ing placed in condition.
 Nearly thousand men are work ing between this place and Oliphant, about seven miles distant.
 The Rock Island officials can dc little, as most of their tracks in the city are under water. Much of the track is off the dump. A large quan- tity of mail was received from the North today. The first papers since Monday were received. Traffic on the White River branch was restored to- day Only few calls for assistance have been received. Newport wAlI need no outside help. The schools will not be reopened for several days The report that houses were washed away is untrue. Much damage ha; been done to'the Lake Bridge cause way.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Weakness in Liverpool a Factor in Promoting Decline in Price of Cotton During the Past Week.

New York, Feb. 4-The cotton mar ket has shown continued nervousness during the past week, with prices making new low ground for the movement under further liquidation and scattered selling. Weakness in the Liverpool market promoted the decline here during the earlier part of the week and May contracts sold as low as 4150 on Wdnesday, or within 15 points of the lowest price reached on the break of last Novem- Der and S8.90 per bale under the high record of the season. Rallies of some 25 to 27 points followed on an inn proved ton in Liverpool, covering and trade buying, but the market showed more or less nervousness again dur inging today's trading, with sentiment unsettled by apprehension of unfavor- able international developments.
 A recount of the Liverpool stock resulting in a net increase of 2,854 bales was considered partly responsi- ble for the declines abroad, while the selling here also was encouraged by reports of lower Southern spot mar ket or expectations of increased offer ings with the nearer approach of the planting sesaon. Local bulls have attributed the decline in Southern spot markets to sales of hedged cot ton rather than to any general weak ness on the part of holders, and buy ing may have been encouraged by rumors of a slightly easier freight situation. the continued activity of domestic spinners and the larger eX- port clearances. Reports reaching here from the South have been more or less conflicting, both with refer ence to spot conditions and acreage prospects. Advices from Alabama indicate that the sales of fertilizer tags have been far short of normal and there have been reiterated re- ports that much cotton is held in the
 interior by English, German and Aus trian interests.

PHILIPPINE BILL
 PASSED AY SENATE
Senator William Alden Smith Was Bitter in DenunciatiOn of Proponents of Measure Which AbandOns Eastern Islands.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The senate tonight passed the Philippine bill which would grant independence to the islands within four years and provide for immediate enlargement of their powers of self lf-government. The vote was 253 to 24. The bill has not yet passed the house.
 Various Democratic senators, led by Chairman Stone of the foreign rela- tions committee tried unsuccessfully to amend the independence clause but in the end the Democrats joined by six Progressive Republicans voted solidly for the measure. It is under stood the bill will go to the house backed by President Wilson and be pressed for early action.
 The Republican senators who voted for the bill were Borah, Clapp, eKn- yon, LaFollette, Norris and Works. By overwhelming majorities the sen ate had refused to modify the Clarke amendment adopted several days ago, which contains the independence pro vision and gives the president au- thority to extend or withhold inde- pendence at the end of four years, if conditions should be unfavorable.
 Senator Norris, in opposing a pro- vision in the bill empowering the president to retain naval bases in the Philippines, said the president had been converted from man of peace to a militarist.
 Senator William Alden Smith scored the president for the deter imitation to give up the Philippines.
 This action is an unjustifable and uncalled for one for surrender of American rights" he said, If these islands become Gnarchistc and the people get to warning among them selves, you will be blamed for it, as you ought to be- If other countries go to war over them, it will date from the day when you towards aban- doned task which Providence placed in your hands, and which by this act you are acknowledging you are un- able to master"
 Senator Stone, replying, character ized Senator Smiths remarks "as a vociferous, scattering, dreary, insane, partisan harangue.
 As passed the bill carries provis- ion authorizing the president, when independence is granted, to negotiate treaties needed to adjust all property rights and to acquire naval bases and such coaling stations within the terri tory as he deems necessary.
