LANCASTER TOBACCO MARKET
Raiiis Have Moistened Crop and Late
Stripping' Is Begun
Lancaster, Nov. 23.—G00d things]
appear to be coming the way of the to-1
bacco men of Lancaster county. Be
cause of the long drought the two and
a half million dollars' worth of new I
tobacco hanging in the sheds, the crop
of 14,000 acres of the county's richest
land, could not be touched, but the late i
rains have changed conditions. Mow the
tobacco is moistened and in condition to
handle, and th e growers are busy strip- j
ping. The growers and packers had
tactily decided that there would be
nothing doing in the way of contracts
until after the stripping and this is
away late.
In former years the entire crop was
often sold long before the middle of
November. The question of price is still
open, the growers believing they will
get 10 to 11 cents a pound, or even
more if thev wait until later in the sea
son, while the buyers say the price will
be under 10 cents, by reason of the un
favorable condition of the tobacco mar
ket at large.
The approaching Christmas holidays'
is responsible for improved conditions j
in the cigar trade, retailers having s
probably come to the conclusion that'
they would be safe in stocking up to
some extent. The orders are not what |
they ought to be, however, and it shows
that the trade is not fully convinced
that the holiday business will be all
that could be desired. The orders are
for goods of the better class, however, |
cheap goods being relegated to the rear
for the present.
The local leaf packers are doing
some business with 1911 ami 1912;
goods, but. the 1913 does not appear to |
be wanted yet by the outside trade, al
though inquiries are being made regard- \
ing it. There has been another move- j
ment in the 1909 packing, but the;
prices are unsatisfactory and the sales
are not sufficiently heavy to appreciably '
reduce the big stock on hand of these,
goods.

RED LIGHT DISTRICT TO GO
December 5 Set as Time to Enforce
San Francisco Law
San Francisco, Nov. 23; Califo
rnia voters having passed the "red
light" abatement law at the recent
election, the police of San Francisco
are preparing to wipe out the segregat
ed district of the city. Some of the
owners of property that conies within
the provisions of the new law have
forestalled the police by ordering ten
ants to move out.
The police have set December 5 as
the date for the evacuation of street#
whlcb it is desired to "clean out."
Hitherto when there has been a
move to abolish San Francisco's se
gregated district, the chief argument
against it lias been the difficulty of en
forcement. Under the new law it is not
necessary for the police to take the
initiative. Any citizen may act, and
the evidence need not be conclusive in
ordeT that a warrant be issued. The
citizen by swearing that it is his be
lief that any portion of a house is
given over to improper purposes, and
bv putting up a bond, can have the
whole house temporarily closed. If a
hearing demonstrates that the charge
is valid, the house oan be shut up for
a year—whether a lodging house or the
finest hotel in town.
Some of the owners of lodging
houses and apartment houses in the
downtown districts declare that they
will fight the law, asserting that it can
be used for blackmailing purposes or
as a means of gratifying a spite held
by a business enemy.

Pottstown, Pa., Nov. 23. —Haying to!
admit, that this was an exceptionally \
good year for raising turkeys, that i
they are by no means scarce and being
shv nn reasons why prices should be
higher than last season, some farmers
have reached the limit by- blaming an
alleged scarcity of the birds on tho
foot-and-mouth disease among the cat
tle of the country.
A Lancaster county farmer who

LONDON PAPER HINTS AT
WAR CONTRACT SCANDAL
London, Nov. 23, 3.51 JL M.—Un
der the heading, "la the War Office
Being Fleeced!" the ''Daily Chron
icle " makes a demand for an official
inquiry regarding the government's
contracts for the purchase of galvan
ized and corrugated iron. The news
paper suggests that Parliament ought
to set up a vigilance committee '' to
keep an eye on all contracts made by
the great war spending departments an'd
nip ecandals in the 'bud."
Regarding the iron contracts, the
"Chronicle" say* it beiie>veis it has
evidence of a trade ring which is main
taining prices for government work as
much as $9 per ton above the prices
openly quoted for private persons
'' Twenty leading firms,'' says the
''•Chronicle,'' have been asked for
prices for supplying iron sheeting for
government orders and for private cus
tomers. Only two firms replied with
quotations for both. The others gave
quotations for private customers and
referred inquiries regarding the prices
for government orders to a firm of ac
countants who seem to have been suc
cessful iu organizing the trade ring.
This firm 's price for the government ia
higher than that quoted by any firm
for private customers."
VESSELS WERE SENT TO
BOTTOM EY THE GERMANS
London, Nov. 83, 7.45 A. M.—A dis
patch to the "Times" from Monte
video, Uruguay, says the arrival of the
German steamer Sierra Oordoba there
with passenger* and crew of the British
steamer La Correntina and the crew of
the French bark Union has cleared up
the mystery surrounding the fate of the
L«a Correntina.
The La Correntina left Buenos Aires
for Liverpool early in October and hetr
non-arrival at the British port had
aroused fears as to her safety. It ap
pears from the story t<jld by her passen
gers that the La Correntina was over
taken on October 7, 27 miles north
east of Lobaz Island by the German
converted cruiser Kronprinz Wilhelm,
which, after taking off the passengers
and crew, sent the British liner to the
bottom.
The French bark Union was picked
up by the Kronprinz Wilhelm on Octo
ber 28 and scuttled after her crew had
been taken off.
GERMANS AND AUSTRIAN
REPuRfED IN DISSENOT
London, Nov. 23, 2.53 A. M.—"lt
is confirmed that serious dissensions
have arisen between the Germans and
the Austrians," says the "Morning
Post's" Petrograd correspondent.
"A stormy council under the presi
dency of Kmperor William was held at
Breslau after the German flight from
I'oland. After mutual recriminations,
Germany demanded that Austria send
every available man to the defense of
«ast Prussia, arguing that there was no
hope of saving the Austrian frontier
from tho advancing hosts. The Aus
trians, however, demanded that the
Germans make a serious attempt to
savo Cracow..
' Moreover. • council meeting was
preceded ' by ,ial fighting between
Austrian and Geiman soldiers in the re
treat. The fighting, it is said, oc
curred after a large body of angry
Austrians left the Germans and struck
off on their own line of retreat, where
upon the Germans sent detachments to
bring them back. Both sides fired
shots, the Austrians being
The German explanation later was that
they exterminated mutinous troops."
CANNED LOBnTER INDUSTRY \
HIT HARD BY EUROPEAN WAR
3t. Johns, N. F., Nov. 23.—The
canned lobster industry of Newfound
land and Canada has been hard hit by
j the European war. As Germany is the
largest consumer of this product, the
principal market has been cut off-. A
case of 48 tins, which brought' $24 in
Newfoundland before the war now
cannot bo sold for more than $8 or
$lO. As one merchant put it:
"Canned lobsters arc as great a drudge
on the market in Canada and New
foundland as bales of cotton in the
United States."
Ordinarily the returns from the in
dustry amount to about $3,000,000
a year in Canada anil $500,000 in this
colony. Many of those interested favor
the enforcing of a close season on lob
sters during the whole of next year,
thus taking advantage of the opportun
ity to replenish the fisheries, which have
been greatlv depleted by extravagant
means of lobster-taking.
Post Placards Demanding Peace
London, Nov. 23, 3.03 A. M.—The
Copenhagen correspondent of tho
"Daily Mail" says he learns from Ber
lin that placards are posted nightly
in the suburbs of the German capital,
demanding peace and containing
threats. The police tear the posters
down, trot they always appear the next
night, says the correspondent, and the
authorities do not seem anxious to catch
the offenders for fear of drawing fur
ther attention to the peace agitation.

FIVE RILLED IN
THE OUTBREAK
Newspaper Says Uprising Was Mot
Merely Due to Discontent With
Food hut Was Part of Desperate
Plan to Got Away
London, Nov. 23, 9.50 A. M.—The
Manchester "Guardian," referring to
the rioting last Thurixl&y in the alien
detention camp on the Isle of Man in
which five prisoners were killed and
twelve wounded, says this outbreak
was due not merely to discontent with
the food and treatment given them, but
was part of a desperate plan of the
prisoners to escape from the camp with
the ultimate hope of seizing a vessel
in the harbor and making their way to
some neutral country.
The dining room of the camp, where
IJie trouble occurred, gives access
through the adjoining kitchens to the
only part of the camp not protected by
a double circuit of barbed wire. The
prisoners employed in the kitchen were
aware of this condition. The prisoners
on Wednesday went on a hunger strike.
This rapidly developed into an angry
demonstration against England. The
prison commandant succeeded in quiet
ing the disturbance, but not before the
Union Jack had been torn down.
The mutiny began Thursday, the
signal for the outbreak being the
throwing of a chair through a window.
The prisoners, instead of making for
the main doors leading from the dining
"hia.ll, all rushed toward the kitchen
doors. Only six soldiers guarded these
doors, and this half dozen men were at
tacked by 2,600 men. The prisoners
desisted, however, the moment a v<flley
was fired into their midst.
The correspondent of the Manchester
"Guardian" expresses the belief that
the prisoners hoped to secure enough
arms to hold the guards at bay until
the sailors in the camp had time to get
possession of a boat in the harbor. The
medical officer at the camp assured the
correspondent that the food was suf
ficient but it was admitted that a cer
tain consignment of potatoes was bad
and that some of the tents leaked. Many
prisoners in this camp are men of title
and wealth. They were allowed to pur
chase their own food and they enjoyed
course dinners. This was another source
of discontent. The captains in charge
of the divisions of prisoners were chos
en from among the educated aliens, and
it is not believed that they had any
knowledge of the uprising.
Extra guards have been placed on
duty at the Isle of Man camp and the
number of prisoners permitted in the
dining room at one time has been re
duced.
ZEPPELIN SHED DAMAGED IN

London, Nov. 23, 3.05 A. M.—Dis

aging houses.
According to the Basel correspondent
of the ''Daily "Chronicle," bombs

within. The correspondent adds that ii
is impossible to ascertain the extent of
the damage done to the balloon.

MRS. WALSH DROPS SOCIETY
TO All) THE WAR SUFFERERS
Washington, Nov. 23.—Mrs. Thomas
P. Walsh, widow of the Colorado min
ing king, who, since 'her return to so
ciety, three years ago, 'has been one of
the most hoslpitafole of Washington
women, this season is doing no enter
taining and accepting no formal invi
tations. 1 She is devoting that part of
her income formerly used for entertain
ment to the relief of war sufferers.
Even in the matter of dress Mrs.
Walsh has made a virtue of necessity.
Instead of placing her usual order with
her Paris modiste she ordered substan
tial woolen and flannel clothes for the
men, women and children made home
less arid penniless by t'he war.
This contribution she sent direct to
'Belgium for immediate distribution.
Since that time Mrs. Walsh has con
tributed hundreds of dollars' worth of
material for the making of woolen un
dergarments, scarfs and socks for the
soldiers of the allied armies, and is
planning still further donations to be
applied as occasion shall suggest and
as the need seems greatest.
Mrs. Walsh's sympathy for Belgium
is especially keen because the late Mr.
Walsh was the American partner of King
Leopold when the latter sought and
made investments on this side of the
Atlantic. The Prime Minister of Bel
gium and his wife, who was Miss Helen
Poulkes, of Philadelphia, arc close per
