New York. Feb. 25.-The principal wit
nesses before the Lexow inquisiticn were
James II. Duke. president of the Ameri-
can Tobacco company, and Francis Il.
Thurber. president of the American Gro
Ger Publishing company. An effort was
made to have Duke admit that by the
consolidation the trust secured control
OF competing cigarette rolling machines.
but his responses were of a negative
character. Mazet asked Duke IL he was
not buying and selling the stocks of
the American Tobacco company Duke
said that was private matter. and
he desired to be excused from testifying
in that particular regard. The plug
tobacco business was entered into in
1890 and about 15o.000.000 pounds is
manufactured annually. 1t cost $780,
900 to Introduce the business abroad.
Different Way OF Expressing 1t.
Josiah Brown. secretary of the Tobacco
company. followed Duke on the stand.
He was questioned principally as to the
business done In the New Jersey offices
Of the company. He testified as to what
books were kept there and gave as
reason that the law provided they should
be there located.
Lexow then asked the witness to look
at an abstract prepared by counsel of
the company Indicating how many'c con-
signees' agreements had been revoked
for handling opposition goods and cut
ting prices. Brown said the list was a
correct one except that the reason they
were cut off was because they had cut
prices.
Favors Aggregations of Capital.
Francis II. Thurber was next called.
He said he is president of the American
Grocer Publishing company, which Of
flee he has held during the last three
years. Thurber said that aggregations
of capital ought to receive encourage
ment and not be subjected to unneces-
sary obstruction. Combinations INTEL
ligently administered were beneficial to
the public at large and to the laboring
classes. The profits of capital. he said,
have been steadily decreasing and those
Of organized labor steadily increasing.
AT no time" said Thurber, could
dealer buy more than at the present
time" Thurber contended that the GEN.
tralization of capital was natural evo-
luton OF the time.

but what it does get should be of the rich
est Fur Is one of the most suitable trim
mings, and fur can he worn as trimming
quite up to May. There are several differ
ent patterns in the reps-that is to say,
the cords vary in size and groupings In
some the whole surface issrepped in cords
of the same size In Others there are some
large and some small grouped, so that one
large cord will have two or four small or
graduated sizes This gives very heavy
and rich appearance. A gown made of
such reps as this would require fur bands
or plush. Nothing else would do.
