After operating only three days
since Monday of this week, the Hen
derson tobacco market closed late
this afternoon for an indefinite suS-
pension as the result of low prices
and the withdrawal of buyers last
week by the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany of Great Britain.
Fred M. Alien, Jr., HENDERSON sales
supervisor, said many tobacco Off
cials feel that the holiday will con-
ti1fue for the remainder of this week
and next week, which would put the
reopening about Monday, Septem-
Der 25, and give all companies sui
ficient time to relieve the cOngeSt-
ed condition of their plants. There
was absolutely nothing official about
this, however, and it was mere con-
lecture.
1t was felt, too, Mr.. Allen said,
that the interim would give the I'M
perial company a char e 10 turthet
its negotiations with the British gov
ernment, ana also would afford tune
for carrying out grower reteren-
dunn for 1910 tobacco crop control,
inasmuch, he said, "as agricultural
officials of this government seem
anxious to use this time to hold a
crop control referendum next year"
Mr.. Allen said that, for the in
formation of the general public, to
bacco company officials have stated
that they are doing all possible to
open the markets again just as soon
as possible, and, as these officials
are anxious in this respect, it is felt
that the dampened ardor on business
which is felt by the holiday will not
last long. It is also felt by all con-
cerned that when the market does
reopen, price averages will receive
a considerable increase, Which will
be for the best interests of farmers
tobacconists and business men alike y
The sales supervisor estimated
100000 pounds OF tobacco on Hen
derson warehouse floors for sale to-
day, which he said would hold the
buyers until around p. m. He said
that prices, grade for grade, appear
ed to be holding the same levels
as lor the past two days, but that
there was considerable lover grace
tUbaccC on the floors today.

hotel on the TOBACCO situation -

MIR. Jameson stated that this
years tobacco crop would exceed
one billion pounds. and that world
pl oduction would be over live oil

more and more countries are ais
ing tobacco, thus cutting down The
world market for u. S. tobacco. He
declared that tobacco could be
raised in every country with the
exception of Australia. Nineteen
states, the speaker said, raise all the
tobacco r the United States.

Fire1nen Not
To Answer
Outside Calls

Midnight Tuesday was the final
hour that the city fire department
would respond to fire outside the
city limits, according to state
ment of Mayor Henry T. Powell.
This action, Mayor Powell stated,
was necessary because liability pro-
lection for firemen does not extend
beyond the city limits, and those
who send the trucks and fircmen
beyond the citys eXtremities are
personally liable for any injuries
incurred by firemen or damage to
equipment.
The legislature this past year
passed an act by which city and
counties could cooperate in fur
nishing fire protection, but the May

toner's declined to obtain this pro-
lection for citizens outside the city

 The action in calling Moseley to the stand was taken after his name had been brought up by the com mittee last night in disclosing evil dence developed by a train of secret agents across eastern and southern states.
 Moseley is asked to appear Mon day along with three others, John Hamilton, National Republican Par ty Chairman, whose testimony show ed that on request he supplied list of Republican National Committee men to a man named by other wit nesses as active in the anti-Semitic campaign; George Deatherage Stall bans, of West Virginia, Chief of the Knights of the White Camelia, and Felix M Whirter, Indianapolis banker,

HOUSE MEMBERS GETTING FUN OUT OF PROBE INTO
 MANY U. 5. ARTY PROJECT!
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May 19 Just now House members are having their first real fun with the Federal writ CTS and theatre projects after deal ing very gingerly with them for three years or more.
 These arty projects have had House members down wind for a number of seasons. House members for the most part are a country grown variety and the easiest way to make them feel completely un- comfortable is to insist that they don't understand the later art move ments.
 Whether the Federal writers un- derstand the movements is still an other matter, but they have been sort of on a pedestal, free from more than half-hearted interference.
 But when the WPA appropriation request came forward, a House sub committee got busy. It sent an in- vestigator to New York to gather all witnesses and evidence The inves- tigator, H. Ralph Burton, did some thing more than a casual job, all though at the time he appeared before the committee his testimony was decidedly on the incomplete side.

 Dies made public letter he said Moseley, former Fifth Corps Area Commander in the Army, had writ ten to New York National Guard officer.
 The letter said in part: "The fact is that the most serious problem confronting America today is just this problem; the Jew and how to get rid of his influence definitely, locally, nationally and internation- ally"
 Another letter, allegedly written by Moseley to Reserve Army Cap tain, said: "If the Jews bump me off, be sure to see they get credit for it from coast to coast. It will help our cause"

 Moreover, the rehearsal time of some of the plays ran well on to- ward a year, which the Congressmen considered an extraordinary length of time to put play in order. And committee members suspected $200,- GOO items looked too big for just one play.
 MT. Burton said, moreover, that some of the lines in Sing For Your Supper" were bit bawdy.
 Instantly the Congressional ears pricked up, but MT. Burton, perhaps something of Victorian, looked hastily around the room, saw sev- eral women present, and decided it would be just as well to put the items in the record without embar- rassing himself by reading them.
 We asked him what the lines were. One was a jingle rhyming intel lectual" with sexual" Another was bit more earthly, in sea-going way.

5 Planes Make Atfaek- Report BIdlkouf Is
 Complete Success

HONOLULU, May 19.-A complete blackout of strategic Oahu Island by it's civilians in less than two minutes prevented 52 "eneny" air. planes from staging successful sur- prise attack last night.
 The air raid gave the civilians of the island on which Honolulu is located their first opportunity for direct cooperation with armed forces.
 Major General Charles Heron, Hawaii Department Commander, flying in one of the raiding war planes described the blackout as a complete success.
 "Very few scattered lights could be seen,'' said the Major, giving us the impression of flashlights or fireflies and enabling us to know we were over inhabited territory, but we could not distinguish any portion of the town"
 Major Heron said if the lights had been extinguished when the at tacking planes were hundred miles at sea it would be extremely difficult to locate the island.

LONDON-There's a small town quality about Bert and Betty Wind sor that is likely to warm the heart of America when they go calling this June.
 Strip them of royalty's trap pings, and you have an unpreten- tious couple who like nothing better than to drop in on the neighbors for quiet chat
 This, of course, is impossible while they're lon duty as King and Queen of England. But when they get away for their annual va cation in Scotland they visit the villagers, whom they call by theii first names, and lead an informal life that would have made some of their noble predecessors gasp.
 Not Smart Set" Type
 Most Englishmen Ike the pie ture of simplicity such details build although critics brand theh Majesties as dull and colorless.
 King George VI, who's 43, ano Queen Elizabeth, 38, certainly aren't the type to fit in, say, with the in ternational smart set. They spend deal of time on their two daugh- ters-Princess Elizabeth, 13, who may succeed her father on the throne, and Princess Margaret Rose 8.
 Their majesties reflect theil homespun tastes in innumerable ways.
 When they ascended the throne old friends began to address them as sir" and ma a'am'-but not foi long Whats wrong with Bert and 'Betty'?" their Majesties want ed to know.

 On weekends at Windsor they prefer to stay at the royal lodge rather than the castle.
 On state occasions their Majes- ties offer a fancy French menu but for their everyday meals they relish under-done beef. overlooked Brussels sprouts and other typically English fare.
 But their diet isn't all English The King has an American break fast--orange juice, toast and cof- while the Queens weakness is a huge Scottish tea of weight producing scones and jam.
