Several thousand dollars in fne~,

comparatively small, were levied
against violators of the prohibition
statute during the term of the
United States Court at Mankato last
week, which was one of the busiest
ever held there Most of the SEN

julius Stroschein, another New
ulmite, indicted by the Federal
grand jury for having Intoxicating
liquor in his possession, was more
fortunate in that he escaped punish
ment entirely. Federal agents had
''ralded" the Stroschein residence on
South State street several months
ago and secured samples" of alleged
whiskey. Before Judge Booth, Mr..
Stroschein, through his attorney,
set forth the claim that, inasmuch
as the Federal agents had not had
search warrant, when his home was
visited by them, the seizure of the
alleged liquor was contrary to the
Constitution. This was sufficient evil
dence to prompt The court to dismiss
the case against him.

Gustav Plamann and Louis Haas
of New Sweden and John E. Meyers
of Nicollet were each fined 500 by
Judge Booth. The three men were
turned over to the Federal courts

certain sections of Nicollet county.
Among others who were forced to

sDecsat Dsspatch to The r'ribune

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Nov. 4.-The
attention Of the cotton industry has
been SO taken up with the convention
of the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers and the textile exposi-
ton in Boston this week that business
has been chiefly routine and listIess.
The cotton market and the finished
goods trade have both been quiet.
Mill men still persist in their re
fusal to be impressed by the talk Of
much higher prices for cotton to the
extent of entering the market for
volume trading. Heretofore their re
fusai has been based upon the dis
parity of the advance in the cost OF
raw material over that which could be
passed on TO the finished goods trade
This condition still exists. The early
advance in goods, while small, was
absorbed. Lately, however, the insis-
tence OF the manufacturers that higher
prices must be obtained mas not been
met by the trade.
Additional points in deterring the mill
men from buying supplies have been the
continued weakening in prices and the
large ginning reports. The qnprece-
IDENTIFY large ginning for, this time of
year, the latest Of which was report
that the National Ginners' Association
placed the total ginning TO November
at $500, 900 bales, has caused consider
able belief that the governments report
of the crop yield has been urderesti-
mated. Prices in the general market
are slightly easier this week It is
typically an underseilng market, lots
? to cents below the levels figuring
chiefly in what few sales are being
made. Heavy reflections, in some cases
running into full lots, are reported on
shipments which are now being re-
ceiyed on contracts made early in the
season before the big price jump.
The Fall River print clcth market has
been quiet all week. Mills are firm in
their asking prices, but there is
marked absence of buyers so test their
strength. There has been little inquiry
in New Bedford finer goods.
The unemployment situation IN the
New Bedford mills improves. IN a re-
port compiled by the Beard OF Comr

Forgan Attacks
Taxation Program

The taxation program now before the
senate Will retard the recovery of
American business. IN the opinion of
Iamee 3. Forgsn, chairman of the First
National Bank of Chicago, one of the
committee OF American business men
comb batting the program of the agricul-
turai bloc. Mr.. Forgan. in q state
ment issued to-day by the comm ttee
urges Congress to lessen TIE burdens
placed upon capital rather than to re-
strict capital and drive it deeper into
tax-free investments.
Among the New Workers who are
members of the COMMITTEES are John 7.
rratt, Charles N. Schwab, Thomas A.
Edison Cleveland II. Dodge, Otto II.
Aahn, Henry W. De Forest, Charles 3,
Seger, Chariss a. Peabody, Herbert
Satterlec, Adolph Lewisehn and others.
III SENS TO me that the whole theory
upon which our taxation is based is
wrong says Mr. Forgan in his state
ment, a presentment OF the opinion of
Middle Western business men. An
paTently Congress believes that bust
ness ought to have no objection TO
paying large part of it's profits over
TO the government in tie shane ~
taxes. This is in justification Of the
nigh excess profits tax, and proceeds
from the view that the large earnings
OF corporations and individuals are
used for personal and selfish PURPOSES
AS matter of fact. it ia from earn
ings which are larger than those need
ed TO I'LL the wants OF individuals that
the increase CT wealth and production
the country must come. It is n
very small percentage Of the earnings

The price movement IN New Bedfort

general trend has been upward, where
as II Fall River It has been downward
This IS due to the fact that the quar-
