A cigar is a “Tampa” only when it is produced in the Tampa, Flor- ida, district, the commission ruled. and it is a “Havana” only if it contains tobacco grown in Cuba. The decision, far-reaching in the tobacco industry, was prompted by what the commission called unfair practices of David Horn and J. M Hyson, cigar manufacturers of Red Lion, Pa., who were ordered to cease calling thelr products Tam- pas and Havanas. The Red Lion manufacturersalso were warned not to label cigars “imported” unless they actually were {mported into this country and to stop referring to their cigars as winners of the “double grand prize, St. Louis exposition, 1904. The commission said no such prize was ever issued.

Miss Waite, who is charged with deed last Friday while the American Trader was at sea, was quoted by Captain Fish as giving the motive that Fisher had associated with other women against her wishes. “He was a very vain individual” she sald, “but I tried to make a man of him.'
