Tax Titles Hold Good.

The Michigan supreme court has rem
dered decision which says that tau
titles to real estate are all right. The
case was that of John ID. Mersereau VS.
August c. Miller ct al. and the opinion
which was written by Justice Mont
gomery and unanimously concurred in
is considered a final victory for the
owners of tax titles. Eight brief,
were filed in the case, every possible
objection to the tax title having been
raised. The court, however. held the
title to be good. The action was one
of ejectment to recover lot on which
Mersereau had tax deed made under
a decree entered under the general taX
law of 1898. Mersereau won in the
court below, and the supreme court has
affirmed the judgement.
In the case of Muirhead VS.. Sands,
passed upon recently, was another de.
cision in favor of tax titles, which, in
conjunction with this last one, makes
tax titles we'll nigh absolute.

These complaints are due to imper

Peter Hauptman Again Testifies
Against the Indicted Officers.

NEW YORK, June H.-Peter Hauptman,
of st. Louis, was again on the witness
stand to-day in the trial of the indicted
officials of the American Tobacco Company
on the charge of conspiracy in restraint of
trade. Questions by the district attorney
were directed to eliciting statements that
the witness had been coerced by the tobacco
company. Lawyer Choate objected and
stated that the defendants had not been
charged with coercion in the indictment.
1T is not constitutional" he declared ito
try a man on charge unless they have
him indicted for it, The objection was
sustained by the court
Mr.. Olcott asked the witness whether it
was or was not possible for him to do as
profitable business without being able to
handle the cigarettes made by the Amer-
can Tobacco Company. The witness said
he could not if he could not buy directly
from the manufacturers. On cross exam
ination the witness said he had been here
from st. Louis since last Monday at the
request of Mr.. Olcott who guaranteed him
his expenses. He further testified that he
could not make as much profit on the
American Tobacco CompanyS goods If he
bought them second hand as he could If he
purchased direct from the American To-
bacco Company. He knew that the Ma
tlonal Tobacco Company guaranteed a GER
tain amount of money TO cover any loss
on account of any difference between the
firm and the American Company. The wit
ness did not know very much about the
agreement between his firm and the Ma
tional Tobacco Company. His partner, Mr..
Harms, knew all about it, but he was in
st. Louis. He could not tell how long his
firm had been receiving payments from the
he did testify in December, 1894 that it
was still continuing. He could not tell how
long after this the payment continued
Neither he nor his firm, either directly or
indirectly, contributed to a suit or suits
against the American Tobacco Company.
The contract of the American Tobacco
Company had been a satisfactory one to the
witness The company fully lived up to its
agreement until October, 1893 Just before
that time he was visited by several repre-
sentatives of the National Tobacco Com
pany.
Mf Choate sought to have the witness
testify that his firm never had any in
tention of changing the American Tobacco
Company contract until the visit of these
representatives, but the questions were not
allowed. The witness said he and his part
ner had conversations upon the subject of
handling National Company cigarettes pre-
vious TO his interview with the representa-
tives of that company. The nature of these
conversations not allowed to be
brought out. He did not have the agree
with him. Theodore Allen was the next
witness but so many objections were made
by both sides that nothing important was
brought out.
Daniel Dressler, a Brooklyn tobacco
manufacturer; Frederick b. Hyer and
Henry I. Stockwell were the other wit
nesseS to-day
