A letter wag received at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday from Thomas P. Egan, the retiring President, who is on a European trip, dated Cherbourg, France. in which he makes a strong plea for American owned ships. He 'says that he crossed on the Hamburg-American liner Amerika, and that every one of the crew is German, while nearly all of the passengers are Americans. of the stewards said to me," writes Mr.

Egan: wish this was an American "I asked why? I would be getting $45 per month. am only getting "This explains why we have no shipping abroad--as this rate of wages continues from the Captain down-and in addition the line is heavily subsidized. Won't the American Congress wake up and do something to encourage the growth of an AmerIcan merchant marine?" DECIDED To Withdraw From Both State and National Retail Jewelers' Association-Omeers Elected By a unanimous vote the Cincinnati Retail Jewelers' Association last night at a meeting at the Palace Hotel decided to withdraw from both the Ohio State Jewelers' Association and the National Retail Jewelers' Association. The meeting was the largest held by the association for a number of months, and the action, which has been quietly discussed for some time, was only taken after deliberate consideration, involving all points, of view. There has been considerable dissatisfaction in the local ranks ever since the national convention held at the Sinton last August, which feeling was summed up by one member as follows: "The National Association, by what turned out to to misrepresentations, induced 119 to stop the publication of our Retail Jewelers' Journal.

It was not a perfect trade paper, but its faults could have been remedied. Later the Executive Committee of the National Association in segsion in Chicago, instead of carrying out the instructions of the convention and making good its word, decided not to establish a national journal. This association is taxed $48 per year for the state and also $48 per year for the national association. They may. be doing something, but 1f 80 we do not know it.

We believe that for the success of the national, state and city associations allied with them a trade organ is necessary to keep all members informed of what is going on. We may or may not establish another local organ, but in any event we will not contribute any longer to the support of the national association, which has not treated our association properly, or to the state association, until we at least know what they are doing and propose to do."

Somewhere down in' Kentucky yesterday a kind lady gave Tom Miller. a self-confessed hobo, an outfit of clothes. Among the articles of clothing was a gaudy vest. Then Tom wended fils way to his berth in a sleeper' in a siding and went to 'sleep. When he woke up his car was rattling through.

Miller enjoyed his new distinction of fashion plate." Then the "frowsies" fell on him, and. after a lively battle, Miller. bloody and almost denuded, was kicked off the train. The remainder of the tramps hereupon commenced a battle among themselves for the vest and other clothing of the luckless Miller. The uproar could be heard long after the train disappeared in the distance.

He made his way to police headquarters, where even the hardened patrolmen gasped when they caught sight of his face. It literally mashed to a pulp. The man was placed in a patrol wagon and sent to was a hospital for repairs. SPOKE ON FOOD. Dr.

Because the flour was good. CROC DALE WASHBURN-CROSBY'S GOLD MEDAL FLOUR THE VERY HIGHEST QUALITY At the matinee yesterday afternoon Mr.

Mantell and his company revived the Bulwer-Lytton classic, "The Lady of Lyons," at the Grand. Apart from a stock presentation some years ago the sentimental love episode of a past century has not been seen here in a long time. From a standpoint of study in the archaic and a contrast to the really marked development of the stage in the past years the presentation of this drama was interesting. Its artificiality, its mawkish sentiment and. above all, its antiquated arrangement of plot and projection were almost a novelty.

The elegance of the drama in its surface outlines, the grace and pomposity of some of its scenes and the sympathy, even though scarcely naturally brought about, engendered by several of its situations. combined to make it a pleasing pastime for the student of the drama's progress as well as for the one charmed by these exterior phases. But, on the whole, "The Lady of Lyons is as much out of fashion as the clothes its people wear, and should repose as undisturbed in the glass case of history as do the sandals and brocades of that period in the art museum. The production was conscientiously and quite elaborately done. Mr.

Mantell made a graceful Claude Melnotte, a role which 1s of the genre in which he has made his best successes. Miss Russell was quite satisfactory as Pauline, and the others in the company presented a satisfactory ensemble. In the evening the star and his company presented "Hamlet," which they have done here in previous seasons, in much the same way. To-night Merchant of Venice' will be the bill. BURNED HER HAIR.

Ethel Barrymore's hair caught fire from a match spark. With presence of mind the actress saved her splendid locks from going up in smoke by coolly clapping a handkerchief over the fire.

A part of the stage "business" is for Bruce McRae, Miss Barrymore'8 leading man, to hand the star a cigarette, which she ights from a match held in his hand. To-night when Mr. McRae struck the match a spark flew off and alighted in Miss Barrymore's hair. Mr. McRae made a move forward to give assistance to Miss Barrymore, but his help was not needed.

theater man heard of the incident and issued an order that no more matches were to be used in the scene. Mise. Barrymore will have to make some excuse for not lighting her first-act cigarette, which she does not smoke, but throws in an open grate immediately after it is lighted. CONDITION IMPROVED.

LIVELY SESSION Held By Sign Painters at the Palace Hotel. A lively, but rather small, meeting of sign painters was held at the Palace Hotel yesterday. Joseph D.

Engelbert presided, as at the previous meetings, but no formal organization has yet been made. It developed that as soon as the suggestion was made that the City Council create the office of "Sign Inspector," that a number of sign painters became active candidates for the proposed office, and it was very strongly intimated that the most of the pushing for the creation of the new office came from the men who hoped to land the job. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the Chairman, and if opportunity offers the sign painters will again actively oppose the passage of the section of the new building code which would practically prohibit all except electric signs. circles.

SCHWENCK, WAt In To Action the On the ownership After be made am Itoosevelt that I have indicate Mr. Am of zen they are Oklahoma BURLEY Society of Equity Under Investigation By the Government For Shortages in Net Weight of Tobacco Recently Sold To Independent Manufacturers. Revenue Agents Here and Others To Follow- Many Hogsheads Found Short of Amount Purchased.

Sensational revelations in the affairs of the Burley Tobacco Society or tobacco planters' combine were disclosed yesterday after investigations by Government officials which have been going on in this city for the last few days. The officials referred to are Major Hancock and Mr. Goebel, of Washington, D. special agents of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and, so far as their investigations have gone, extensive errors, bearing every evidence of fraud in the matter of net weights of hogsheads of tobacco sold by the Burley Society or its agents to independent manufacturers, have been revealed. The matter of the shortages in weights and the astounding revelations of the Government officials was the sole topic of conversation in local tobacco circles yesterday, and the prediction was freely made that the Revenue Department at Washington will send on additional officials in the next 48 hours, and these will place every Burley Society warehouse or storage barn in the entire burley district under lock and seal until a complete and sweeping investigation is made.

It is the custom of the Government, or rather an absolute rule of the Internal Revenue Department, to require brokers, warehouse men and middlemen to ante make monthly sworn reports of all leaf tobacco sold to manufacturers, the number of packages and weights thereof and the names of the firms to whom the tobacco was sold, and the manufacturers are required to make similar sworn statements. giving names and addresses of parties from whom purchases were made and the weights thereof. Is a Two-Fold Check. The object of the Government is twofold-the system enables it to glean statistical reports of raw material produced ad manufactured output, upon which latter revenue is paid, and any great discrepancy above wastage in manutacturing would necessarily disclose frauds on the Revenue Department. In other words, one set of reports is almost a complete "check" on the other, and the statement here given goes to show the perfection to which the affairs of the RevDepartment have been brought in reenue cent years.

As told recently in the press, the great "Burley Tobacco War," after a contest of three years between the planters and the American Tobacco Company, ended by the latter purchasing 75 per cent of the Burley Society's pooled holdings of the crops of 1906 and 1907, and the independent manufacturers in a later agreement purchased the remaining 25 per cent and divided 1t themselves. Deliveries in both in. among stances have been going on for some weeks. but it is a slow process, as the grading and sampling done by the Burley Society hag proved far from satisfactory to the purchasers. As a matter of fact, the American Tobacco Company is regrading all of its recent purchase, its experts in this work being accompanied by expert examiners from the Burley Society, so that a fair deal all around can be secured.

One of the chief troubles here is found to be depreciation in value caused by mustiness on account of the long period the tobacco has been packed in the hogsheads while the "war" was going on. Buyers Scented Fraud. The grievance of the independent manufacturers, however, and the one which has brought the present sensational investigaof the Government is over the matter of "tares," or the correct weight of the hogsheads in which their purchases were packed. At very few points where the Burley Society pooled tobaccos were held. and are still held in storage awaiting deliveries, has the society been equipped with the necessary apparatus and fixtures for sampling grading or weighing, and some extensive borrowing of such apparatus was tried here and at Louisville by the Burley during the tobacco war, but with people little success, as none of the warevery houses in either city had any of the apparatus to spare.

The most charitable construction that can be placed on the Burley Society's weighing and sampling, 13 examples of which from Franklin, Wood ord and Harrison Counties, Kentucky, are given below, is that instead of following the usual custom of the trade in securing "actual" gross tare and net the Burley Society people took the weights weight, only knocked out one or two gross staves of the hogshead to get the sample instead of extracting it from three different sections of the package, as required under the inspection rules of the trade, replaced the staves, and then made a guess at the "tare." with a very liberal and generous allowance for error in their own behalf. Actual tares of tobacco hogsheads vary from about 140 to 200 pounds, this variation being due to the fact that some of the hogsheads are made of poplar and others of oak or other hard woods. Recently a very prominent local and independent manufacturer got wise to the fact that there was serious descrepancies in the Burley Society's and his own net weights of his portion of the tobaccos sold by the Burley Society to the independents. The firm took 13 hogsheads of its purchase of the B. and O.

storage warehouse, in out this city, and in the presence of disinterested witnesses, done a little weighing of its own in detail, as to gross, tare and net weights. Disclosures Were Astounding. Loss Price. Gr. Tare.

Fears are entertained in the trade that the action of the Government may be so drastic as to cause serious loss to the individual members of the Burley Society, enormous losses to the society as a whole, and that some people may have to face prison doors for false statements in their sworn statements to the revenne department.

Major Hancock and Mr. Goebel left for HURLED From Wagon Were Three Men When It Was Struck By East End Car. East End Car No. 1573, south-bound, struck a peddler's wagon at Woodburn avenue and Gilpin street last evening. Joseph Quitter, 1217 East Third street; Daniel Clark, 1240 East Third street, and Albert Seutter, 1242 East Third street, were hurled to the street by the collision and all were injured.

Sergeant Thomas Bartley caught the horse, which started to run away. He then picked up the injured men and called Patrol No. 7. Quitter and Clark were sent to the City Hospital. Clark probably sustained concussion of the brain.

Quitter escaped with bruised limbs. Seutter was able to proceed to his home unassisted. The wagon was demolished. WOMAN DENIES She Is Jackson's Wife, and Says Marriage Was a Mock One, Mrs. Lucy Jackson, 1612 Dhonau street, and William Rathman, who were arrested at her home Tuesday night, appeared before Squire Dumont yesterday and had their case postponed until Friday.

The couple were arrested at the request of Elmer Jackson, who alleges that the woman is his wife. This she denies, according to officers of the Court. Jackson says he was married to the woman in 1898 and later divorced. Then about two years ago, according to the Court officials, Jackson says he was again married to her, but she says this was only a mock marriage. Attorney Karl Cadwell, for the plaintiff, says that the last marriage was legal, and that the woman is Jackson's wife.

The case will be thoroughly aired next Friday. The couple were released on bail, given by the woman's father. Jackson is the proprietor of several moving picture shows in this ofty. Recently he swore to a warrant in Squire Dumont's Court, and the papers were placed in the hands of Constable Sprong to serve on Mrs. Jackson.

There was some difficulty at first in reaching her. Finally the Constable and three detectives hit on the scheme of sending a messenger to her with a fake telegram. This was done Tuesday night. While the woman was reading the message notifying her that her husband was very sick the Constable and the three sleuths walked into the room, where they allege that Mrs. Jackson was sitting on a sofa with William Rathman.

The couple were arrested. Mrs. Jackson broke down and cried. She said: "Well, Elmer wants a divorce." Jackson says he was married to the woman several years ago, and later divorced, after which he remarried her. She has worked as cashier at one of his theaters.

BACK TO BOSTON Officers Took Will Jones, Wanted For Grand Larceny. Inspector of Police George W. Paterson and Detective Pelton, of Boston, last even1ng returned to that city in charge of WIll Jones, alias Harry Gilbert, a professional pickpocket, who is wanted there for grand larceny and jumping his bond. About three weeks ago Jones, who gave his name as Gilbert, was arrested after jumping out of a train window Hamilton when he was caught trying to rob a traveling man. He was taken to Cincinnati and sent out to the workhouse on a charge of malicious destruction of property.

Chief of Detectives Crawford had his Bertillop measurements taken, and the efficacy of the system was proved when it was found that Jones was a thief badly wanted in Boston. The Boston officers said that Jones was wanted for stealing $2,700 from a traveling man, and that they were doubly satisfied to get their hands upon him, as he had jumped his bond and the bondsman who had furnished him bail had since been arrested for perjury. The arrest of Jones completes the case. AT NEWTOWN Farmers' Institute Will Hold Its Next Session This Week. The Hamilton County Farmers' Institute.
