CARD PLAYERS FIGHT,
 ONE IS MURDERED
AssaiIant Who Fled Scene Brought Back to Thompsonvi1le and
 Is Bound Over.

Thompsonville, May 11.-Vitan- tonic Palmissanio, 29, was arraigned in the town court today charged with the murder on July 25, 1909, of of Giovannio Pasqualichio here, and after brief proceedings was held for the superior court without bail. Palmissanio was arrested at Lynn, Mass, Tuesday, and was brought back to Thompsonville last night. He refused to plead when arraigned.
 The prosecution called two wit nesses, James Tria, proprietor of a boarding house who testified that Palmissanio and the man whom he is alleged to have killed became in volved in a quarrel over a game of cards, that later he heard two shots outside the building in which the men had been playing and subse- ouently frOund Pasqualichio's body near the house; and Theresa Masaro who told of being awakened by sounds of shooting.

NEW YORK, May q, 1915

NEW AOnh, Mdy q, AOAV.
Sumatra buying holds the markets
activity but not to the extent as was
expected from the hungry desire for it
before the new importations arrived.
The lots which are being chiefly select
ed are for the seed and Havana trade,
while nickel cigar manufacturers are
still hesitating to make large invest
ments in wrapper leaf that in their
calculation will increase the price of
their product by at least 81 thousand.
Eventually, however, manufacturers
using the Sumatra will have to pay the
prevailing market price as the field for
substitutes is limited and is offering by
no means a chance for bargains. In
sympathy with the increased Sumatra
price our domestic Shadegrown wrap
per leaf is rising, too, for the increased
demand of that type causes naturally
rise in it's value. Wherever the manu-
facturer is prospecting now he is being
confronted with larger prices for his
raw material. The reports from Porto
Rico are like those from our own to-
bacco fields. The shortage of the Porto
Rican crop by eight million pounds has
driven up it's price to an inordinate
size. From the time Porto Rican fill
ers went begging at six and seven
cents to the present time when it is
being rapidly absorbed at four times
the previous price is very far cry
which only confirms the undeniable fact
of steadily advancing value of all leaf
types. 1t is not only the scarcity of
the crop as manifesting itself in Porto
Rico as we'll as in our own tobacco
fields and in the diminished Sumatra
importations, but the advancing output
of our cigar industry which is so rap
idly increasing the consumption of our
raw material. The stamp returns of
the large cigar output of the country
during the month of April show again
an increase of over twelve and half
millions which though considerably
lower than the average increase in each
of the preceding months since the first
of January proves nevertheless the
large activity of the cigar industry
which naturally also must foster larger
consumption of raw material. Journal.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, May %, 1916.
Transplanting of the 1916 New Eng
land crop has begun. Progress has
been slow and one hundred acres is
probably an outside estimate of the
total area in the fields at this writing.
Growers of Shaded tobacco were first
to set out plants. A Windsor, Conn.,,
grower who began transplanting on
Friday or Saturday is said to be the
first man to make start on the Sun
grown crop.
The weather last week was cold and
damp, and plants in the seed beds made
only moderate progress. Sunday and
yesterday were normal May days. The
growers fear that the unreasonable
cold will be followed by the other ex-
treme, in which case plants would grow
so rapidly in the beds that there would
be danger of their becoming oversize
before transplanting was finished.
Transplanting of both Shaded and
sum grown tobacco will be on large
scale by the end of the week or early
next week. Many growers have main
tanned that tobacco set out in June
yields the best crops and at least rs
per cent of the New England tobacco
farmers will have an opportunity this
year to determine by experience the
merits of June-set tobacco.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, June 2, 1916.
The plant beds have been making
very satisfactory progress during the
week, favored as we are by fast grow
ing weather conditions. A good pro-
portion of the plants have now reached
a size when covers may be safely re-
moved, which will tend to harden and
weather them to better stand field ex-
posure 1t will also serve to check the
growth when the plants are too for
ward. The work of preparing the
fields is now under way and the latter
part of next week will witness the be-
ginning of transplanting.
While there is a moderate demand
for old leaf the most of the transac-
tions of local packers are of small
order nature to meet urgent demand of
manufacturers. Geo. Burthe of Suough-
ton sold small packing '07 to ID
goods to N. L. Carle & Co. M. L.
Carrier also disposed of small lot of

LANCAOlEn, A., ndy 1t, 4O4O
With the kind of weather Lancaster
county has been having since the seed
beds were made, nobody is surprised
that the plants are late in developing,
nor is anybody surprised that there will
be so few fields planted before June /.
Considering the kind of weather this
section of the country has had in the
past eight or ten years, it is hard to
realize that there was a time when
May 20 was the signal for much Of the
planting. The acreage this year will
be considerably increased, judging Ly
the reports from farmers meetings
and the number of new tobacco sheds
sheds erected The local packers are
more than pleased over what they have
learned about the preparations for this
years crop. 1t is evident that the adj
vice of the federal government expert
to sterilize the beds was very generally
adopted.
The local packers bewail the scarcity
of old goods in their warehouses, how
ever, and there are few who do not say
they will not be caught in such fix

A billion and half dollars was rep
resented at Washington Monday when
the greatest convention of tobacco mer-
chants in the history Of the country
began in the New Willard. There are
500 delegates representing every branch
of the industry. From growers to leaf
dealers, to manufacturer, jobber and
the men behind the counters. 1t is the
first national convention of tobacco
merchants. Cigars that king couldn' t
afford to buy in any quantity will be
smoked at the banquet. Impressive
figures of the tobacco industry were
reported showing that tobacco raising
utilizes over a million acres Of land,
the federal government collects S110,-
600, 900 revenue tax, the industry pays
S175, 600, 900 wages to 10000 workers
and advertising gets $50, 600, 900 year.
