FOR And AGAINST TRUSTS
CLOSING DAY OF THE TRIAL OF
TOBACCO TRUST OFFICIALS.
District Attsrucy 0Icott's CIoslss Aryuneent
Judge fitzgerald Addresses the Jury.

New York, June 2s-Yesterday was
the closing day of the trial OF Joseph e.
Duke, president; Josiah Browne. secre-
tary, and other officers and directGrs Of
the American Tobacco company on the
charge Of conspiracy to restrict trade.
A large audience was present. Joseph
II. Choate summed up on behalf Of the
defense. Mr.. Choate said that the chief
question involved In this case were
whether the owner or manufacturer Of
the property for sale had the right to
direct by what means and on what terms
these goods should be disposed Of. or
whether or not he could fix the prices at
which such goods might be sold, or could
mako special arrangements to get ex-
elusive right to sell these goods TO GER
tain parties. -
Criminal intent must be shown on the
part Of the defendants to establish q
charge OF conspiracy. II the defeudants

they might have been indicted for y
crime. but no such effort was made. Mr..
Choate said he stood for absolute free
trade for all honest and legitimate deal
ers.
He maintained that under the present
laws q man or corporation had the
right to make as much money as they
could In business. The formation OF the
American Tobacco company had been
beneficial to trade. It had reduced the
price Of cigarets from 8 to 8 per cent.
The company. he said, was organized as
a private trade corporation, and as such
had the same rights and privileges as an
individual or a copartnership to regu-
late its powers and to decide on what
terms II would sell goods. 1t avoided
those dealers who violated their con-
tracts: this had been the custom as long
as trade had existed. This did not Gre
ate q monopoly, but had tended to stim-
ulate trade. Mr.. Choate declared that
the American Tobacco company was In
the trade to secure all II could Of the
tobacco trade by fair and honorable
means.
District Attorney Oicott, In his closing
arguments to the Jury, said that a man
might build his castle to any height he
chose, but, in building IT, he must not
undermine the walls of his neighbor's
cottage. Neither was 1t the privilege Of
the American Tobacco company, with
its $30,000,0O0 Of capital, to undermine
the business Of the $4,000 dealer next
door Mr.. Olcott cited from the court
Of appeals In the case Of the North River
Sugar Refining company, and from de-
cisions of the United States supreme
court to sustain the position he advanced
that what was legal In an individual
might not be legal when committed by
4 corporation.

ished his address Judge Fitzgerald

Changes have been made continually
IN the reports of the committee, and
the new instrument will be reviewed
again. After the recess the convention
Will meet and decide whether the new
Constitution shall be proclaimed or
submitted to the people. The principal
changes are the election of the mem
bers OF the Legislature by districts.
the provision for minority representa-
ton on the bench, the election of all
county officers instead of appointment.
the veto power by the Governor and
the abolition of the poll tax question
Will be discussed this week. As at
present arranged the Constitution pro-
vldes for the levying of per capita
tax OF 81, although it is not necessary
IN order to vote. For voting regis
tration fee is provided.
The Convention Thursday decided
to prohibit gambling by constitutional
provision instead of leaving it to the

The Investigation Committee APP
pointed to look into the charges of cor
ruption in requiring money to vote
for certain divorce and other bills, has
done just what was expected-apply a
thick coat of whitewash. With two ex-
ceptions, the witnesses who had done
considerable amount of talking and
casting of censure, did not appear to
bear testimony. The charge was sim
ply not proven, though the impression
in relation to corruption is not changed
SO far as the statements made
OF specific sums by the Messrs. Hof-
fecker, of Wilmington, are concerned
they were never disproVed. No charges
save that one senator and one repre-
sentative had declared the existence of
certain conditions, were made. The
two members of the General Assembly
were quoted as having said that money
was expected from those who had pri-
vate bills before the law making body,
and both denied any personal interest
in the matter. Upon that point the
testimony of the two attorneys corrob-
crates them.
The committee evidently did not feel
compelled to ask questions like an at
tOrney bent on verdict, and hence
several matters went unasked. Sena-
tor Handy evidently thinks the fault
was not in the lawmakers demanding
money to vote for certain bills, but for
: any one seeking legislation to divulge
what legislator should say to him in
confidence what was the price of his
vote. This is likewise the proposition
of Senator Pyle.

people in the country districts. Mon

sage to Congress stating that n mum
Der OF America lu Cuba are

mending an appropriation of $50, 900,
to be Immediately available for use
under the direction of the Secretary of
State. The appropriation was made by
the Senate, but no action was taken in
the House that day, as an effort was
made to have a resolution Of bellig-
erency declared.
A memorial signed by large num-
Der OF merchants. bankers, etc., of the
principal Atlantic ports was presented
TO the Secretary of State setting forth
the injury to their business interests
caused by the war in Cuba, and urg-
ing that measures be devised to ter
inmate the struggle.
The situation in the island is dis
tressing, almost beyond comprehen-
sion, to prosperous people like our
selves. Hunger and disease are car
rying off hundreds daily in the crowded
cities where the unfortunate people
have been compelled to huddIe to-
gether like sheep in pen for protec-
ton from foes as well as friends. Re-
ports state there is no food for the dy-
ing and, in some cases, not even water
to drink. The rainy season has added
to the distress of the situation and
there seems to be no hope for the bet
ter yet in sight. They can only look
to the United States for help.
