APPEAL ARGUMENT IN
BEST CASE IS MADE
Mayor Seeks TO Secure Change OF
Venue in His Trial for Using OBJ
scene Language in a Public Place.

Argument OF the appeal of Mayor
]. A. Best, who is charged with the
use of vile. indecent and obscene Ian.
guage in a public place and who seeks
to secure a change Of venue for his
trial. was made before the supreme
court here last night. James A. Fee,
Jr., made the argument for the appel
liant and Attorney General George NJ.
Brown apeared for Justice of the
Peace Joe H. Parkes.
Mayor Best was arrested several
months ago on a warrant sworn to
by Arthur Gibson and charging him
with a violation of the state vagrancy
statute by using profane, vile and OBJ
scene language before an audience in
the oregon theater. The circumstan-
ces under which he is alleged to have
used the language are well known to
the public,
The complaint was filed in the
court Of Justice Of the Peace Parker
and the mayor at once asked for a
change Of venue on the ground that
Judge Parkes was rreiudiced against
him for having failed to recover the
appointment of city recorder after the
election Of Mayor Best A showing
was made and Judge Parkes refused
to grant the change Of venue, assert
ing that he knew of no reason why
fair trial could not he held before
him and for the further reason that
a change Of venue would entail great
expense upon the county. The
MAYORS attorneys asked Circuit
Judge Phelps for a writ of manda-
mus 70 compel Judge Parkes to grant
the change but Judge Phelps con-
strued the law as not suhstantiatins
the contentious of the mavor's attor-
news. An appeal was taken to the
supreme court and ii was upon this
appeal that argument was made yes
terday evening.
Today the court has listened 10 ar
guments in the following cases: state

TRADE IS GROWING
IN COTTONSEED OIL
Costa Rica and Cuba Know Ameri-
can Product Well and
Favorably.

United States Consul C. Donaldson. at
Port Limon, Costa Rica; United States
Consul Samuel T. Lee, San Jose, Costa
Rica. and United States Consul K. NJ.
Bartleman, at Cienfuegos, Cuba have
sent interesting reports to Washington
on the trade in cottonseed oil between
the United States and those countries.
Consul Donaldson says:
THE quantity of cottonseed oil con-
sumed per annum in the Port Limon
district gives the best proof that there
is no strong prejudice against its use.
To the contrary, the working people.
both white and black. composing over
80 per cent of the population. use no
other table of cooking OIL The other
10 per cent. composed OF natives and
white foreigners. use 1t for cooking,
but use olive oil for the table. In fact
IL might be safely stated that every
house in this district uses cottonseed
oil for some purpose.
THE seven principal importers of cot
tonseed oil in the district receive about
37.200 gallons per annum.
The duty on refined cottonseed oil is
sO.042 per pound, and on crude cotton
seed oil. S0006 per pound
Consul Lee says:
well and favorably known in this mar
ket for years. and is used extensively
as an article of food. 1t is sold under
it's correct name and is used mostly
Tor COOKING. A Is
used for floating wick lamps by the
churches and the poorer people.
There are no official statistics cover
ing amounts imported for the reason
that until now the statistical Office has
combined entries of this article with
industrial oils. However, a leading i'm
porter estimates the consumption to be
so 900 gallons per year for the entire
country which has some 100000 in
habitants. Many native families never
use lard for cooking and prefer cotton
seed oil for this purpose"
Consul Bartleman says:
THE following information has been
secured from local importers regard
ing the market for cottonseed Oil in
the Cienfuegos district:
olive oil is preferred to cottonseed
oil even at a slight increase OF cost.
Ii can hardly be claimed there is a
prejudice against the latter. rather "A
preference for the former, and while
il may be fostered by its long and ac-
customed use there seems to be a set
tied belief in it's superiority. However.
IL is an understood fact among the
trade that when the price of cottonseed
oil is well below that of olive oil the
two are mixed and sold olive. At
present prices are about equal, not
withstanding the preferential duty in
favor of the United States, and the
| writer is informed there Is little impor-
| tation of the cottonseed oil for that
! reason.
| Imports for the calendar year 1915
| were: Cottonseed oil. 2.150 cases; olive
| oil. S,133 cases
