AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY.
G. A. Whelan's Case Against it Henrd
Before Acknowledgement Hancock.


Before Attorney-General Hancock.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 20.-Tbe
hearing before Attorney General Han
cock in the action brought by c. A.
Whelsn, OF this city, against the Amer
lcan Tobacco Company to restrain the
trust from doing business in this State,
was begun to-day. Joseph II. Choate,
WIN Oudenand Oakley, appears for the
american Tobacco Company and e. N
wilson, OF THE city, with Einstein and
Gulerman, of New York, as counsel
Tor mr. Wheian. Mr.. Wilson opened
the argument, fully setting forth the
allegations and charging the trust with
conspiracy.
ne said that each of the firms COM
prising 1t had formerly done business
separately. The capital stock of the
corporation, he said, was S25, 900. 600,
although the actual assets OF the firms
comprising the trust was not more than
So 100000. He contended that the can
lsai was hcticious and that the ayarice
and greed Of the trust would never be
satisfied until IL had eaten up other
corporations. Under the methods en-
ployed 1t would be an easy matter for
the trust to pay dividend OF ten to
twelve per cent. Tho American Tobacco
Company, hr. Wilson argued further,
was gotten up for tha control of tho
market.
Colonel Fuller, at the close OF Mr..
Wilson'S address, presented the claims
OF the American Tobacco Company.
Inc hrst important contention that he
made on behalf of the trust was that
the price OF cigarettes, both 10 iobbers
ana consumers, has been lower since
tue American Tobacco Company was
~ IN
the petitioner with recklessness in the
charges made.
letter was read and signed BY q
number OF dealers in this city, In which
the company is urged not to change
It's course, in which tho signe-s de-
clare themselves as not being in syupa.
thy with G. A. Whelan & Co., in their
contentious.
Joseph Ii. Choate made one Of his
characteristic arguments He said that
the American Tobacco Company stands
for absolute freedom for itself sud fer
everybody else He reminded tho at
torney-general that bis action must be
based upon the law and facts and he wss
not TO be governed by socialissic princi-
pies or in behalf OF the hot headed
rivals OF trade
Mr.. Einstein replied to this argument
Nv "'hs 'use tHe ueleESe was evaSive
and mere sophistry. Ho produced the
evidence of Frederick p. Hier, of this
city, in the New Jersey cases. Mr..
HER when he signed the agreement had
