(Special to The Bulletin.) * Washington, June 20.—~Whether’ or not the 17,000 bales of Java and Su- matra tobacco taken from Dutch ves- kels when they were recently requisi-, tioned by the United States will be sold in this country has now become | i question of diplomatic negotiation and is in the bands of the state -de- partment. Congressman Lcnergan filed with the shipping board protests from the Connecticut Tobacco associatidn against such a course, but the matter is still unsettled. Not only Connecti- cut growers, but tobacco men from all parts of the couniry have protested against the open sale of the tobacco taken from the Dutch ships on the . ground that it will upeet the market to flood it with such.an.amount at public sale. This Would espeeially affect Connesticut growers, as-the to- baceo taken from the . Dutch- ships' would be, 80 théy,.say, in direct com- petition with the New BEngland tobacco | which is used for wrappers. The skip- | ping board informed ~ Mr. Lcnengan | that the state départment will deal| with the question and that it is the intention of the state department to get in touch with the owners and un- less they object the ‘tobacco will be| sold in this country. as‘the .U. S. government holds itself responsible for the tobacco and fears to keep i through the warm summer on account of probable deterioration. The govern- ment sees no way to send the tobacco ! to Holland, for which it was originally consigned, and, it is understood, will wait instructions from the owners before taking further steps. The threc vessels from which the tobacco was | taken are the Gorontals, the Celebes|TO REGU and the Ternate. : ELECTRIC CARS IN COLLISION AT PROVIDENCE Miss Eva White of North Brovidence Was Instantly Killed, Providence, R.
