tion, Washington. Feb. '11. A conference
regarding a suit in the United States;
supreme court to test the repeal of
the Cuban reciprocity treaty in the
Wilton-Underwood tariff law so far
take a L'O per cent differential off
Cuban saiga r was? held today at the
department of justice. The state of
Louisiana is considering bring the suit,
as' an original proceeding in theh igh
court on behalf of Louisiana's- big su
gar interests.
Attorney K, j. rjeasants; of Louis
iana: .Jau! r'lirisiiHn, yttorney for the
American Cane Growers' Association
and Representative Rrousard of
Louisiana met Attorney General Mc
He nolds regarding the 'juestiou. The
stale of Louisiana, is dricely effected
because of its snsar cane t reduction
on its penal farm.
The Wilson Underwood act provides
I hat the Cuban treaty shall be iu
force, but that tiie clause giving Cuba
the per .-Miii differential shall be
repealed. I he Louisiana authorities
are contemplating the suit to test
whether the attempted partial repeal
of (he Irealy is valid. The repeal
would practically remove all duty on
cane sugar from Cuba and, it is al
leged mean ruin to Louisiana sugar
producers.
If Louisiana should lile s the suit, it
would bo brought directly against the-
government. lunJer the extraordinary
constitutional power, seldom invoked,
by which a sovereign state may sue
the. government.
McReynolds told the L.ouisianans to
day that lie had not. yet reached a. de
cision. ' but would give a formal opin
ion to Secretary MeAdoo before March
I. Upon that decision depends wheth
er Louisiana will rile suit or not.
Attorney General Pleasants stated
today that h' vull remain here until
the department's opinion, which will
be forwarded to him, and also the
Louisiana, officials, is made known.
I "If the attorney general decided
that tlie twenty per cent clause is not
repealed, of course il will not be nec
essary to bring suit,'' said Represen
tative Drousard tonight. "But if the
decision is unravoraoie, l oeiieve a
suit should and will be brought. That
is a matter for Attorney General
Pleasants and other states ofheiais.
after consulting the growers and their
counsel to determine."'

RELEASED IN ALABAMA
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 21. The
three men arrested at Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
yesterday afternoon charged with the
robbery of the Queen & Crescent train
near Birmingham Thursday night were
released. Po&tal authorities in Birming

Ala., in December

eyes fixed on the floor.
"What say you as to the prisoner, is

clerk, turning to the foreman of tha
jury.
"Not guilty," auswered Foreman J.
Lee Campbell in a voice that carried
to every corner of the room, packed
with humanity but till an death at
that moment, as every eye was glued
on the gray-haired foreman.
With the spontaneity of the crr.ck
of a pistol at the fall of the hammer
a shout went up that lasted several
seconds. Judge Adams rapped vigor
ously on the table with his gavel for
order and Sheriff Wallace, mounting
tOj the table around which the attor
neys usually sit. called out at the top
of his voice "order."'
