LOUISVILLE, KY, october 81
Taking of dispositions in an effort to
learn the source of campaign circulars
which the Democratic State campaign
committee charged were distributed in
Louisville with the knowledge of the
Republican city administration will be
resumed today in Circuit Court
Ten persons whose dispositions were
taken Monday said they knew nothing
of the circulars, which, it was charged,
were designed to arouse hatred against
Catholics, Jews and negroes.
The matter first came to a head when
Mayor Harrison and Robert w. Lucas,
collector of internal revenue, filed suit
against United States Senator Barley,
chairman of the Democratic State cam
paign committee, and other Democratic
leaders, to prevent them from dis
tributing photostatic copies of the cir
culars and charged that the Democrats
were seeking to make it appear that
Republican State leaders had circulated
the original copies.
In a counter suit the Democratic
leaders charged that the original cir
cularS had been distributed with full
knowledge of the Louisville police, that
they first had appeared at local meet
ing of the Ku Klux Khan, and that
they had included charges that Gov.
Smith had been drunk while in Louis
vile. The Democratic leaders asserted
that they were having copies made to
show the voters of the city what the
enemies of the Democratic candidate
were doing against him.

MEXICO ADDS
TOMATO DUTY
Export Tax of One
Cent Per Pound
Is Decreed

An export duty OF 4 centavos per
kilo. or approximately n cent per
pound. has been placed on tomatoes
by the Mexican government, accord
ing to dispatches received by the
United States Department Of Com
merce from its representatives IN
Mexico City.
The new duties. which were made
effective June 20 by presidential de-
cree, covers several varieties OF
vegetables. The export duty on
onions was fixed at . centavos per
kiIo; green peppers, ! centavo and
potatoes 8 c~entavos.
Valley shippers assert that II
these duties are kept In effect
against shipments of these products

Of a detriment 70 the movement to
American and Canadian markets upon
which the Mexican growers rely 20
q considerable extent. However, the
Mexican government may, by presi-
Dental decree, at any time suspend
or increase the import duties.
In many quarters the action Of
the Mexican government is regard
ed merely ms q gesture to influence
the action of the American tariff
commission, which opened hearings
today in Washington on tn tomato
tariff in compliance with the request
of Lower Rio Grande Valley and
Florida growers that the tariff rate
be increased the maximum the COM
mission can recommend. IL Is be-
lieyed that in the event the Ameri-
can commission refuses TO recon-
mend the increase, which would
bring the tomato tariff TO APPROX
mately l i-2 cents per pound on to-
matoes, the Mexican government will.
before the next shipping season
opens, reduce or eliminate the ex-
port duty.
In the event the tariff commission
acts upon the recommendations Of
the Valley and Florida growers and
the Mexican export duty remains IN
effect, the Mexican growers will be
compelled to pay duties ag~gregatln'
z IL cents upon every pound Of
tomatoes shipped into the American
markets.

ly sold about 10 to Is points net

by reports Of further rains in the

The advance carried all new crop
months into new high ground, Octo-
Der selling at 22.0s. but this price
evidently attracted extensive realiz-
ing and there was probably some
selling for q reaction. Offerings in

October sold off to 21.9l BY the end
of the first hour, or back 70 about

ings during the forenoon. but after
selling off to 21.S3 for October, or
about 10 TO IL points net lower, the
market steadied on the prospects for
showers in the eastern belt. Buying
became more active on the detailed
