NO LACK Of LITt0 STONES.

Stones on which drawings in process
of lithography are done are found in
different sections OF this country, but
they are OF a poor quality. Their cla-
vey substance is mixed with gritty par
ticles, which interfere with the smooth
ing of the slabs TO a perfect surface.
Hence photographers in this country
have 10 depend upon foreign supply
OF these stones. Heretofore the supply
has been sufficient. but every little
while the rumor is circulated that IL
soon will be insufficient. The best, In
deed nearly all. OF tnese stones come
from Bavaria. and United States
consul at Nuremberg. c. +. Weber has
reported on the subject TO the state de-
partment. According TO him, most Of
the ground beneath which the litho-
stones lie belongs to the communities
OF Solnhofen and Moernsheim, and
therefore each OF these communities
has a share in the ground. From time
to time each OF these communities
measures out new stretch Of land and
divides IL into lots, and each homestead
owner gets his part He either can ex-
plore the ground himself or sell his
claim to one of the larger owners. The
ground itself. after IL has been deprived
or It's costly treasure becomes again
the property OF the community. One
would suppose that these communities
are rich. but the Solnhofeners never
have understood how TO utilize the mo-
nopoly which they practically possess.
They undersold each other. and the re-
suit was that up TO about year ago
their profit was modest. In january,
1899, they formed a combination and
now get more satisfactory prices
The blue or gray stones are the most
costly, as they are harder and better
for engraving, and more copies can be
obtained from them. Being harder
they stand the polishing on both sides
better than the yellow ones. and there

the United States takes only these
double-faced stones. which can be
worked by the printer from both sides.

sides; stone may be good on one side.

Mr.. GuiieTnan Shows That tho Cumhlns Is
In Restraint Of Trade.
CONTROLS NEARLY EVERY ICE DOCK.
Counsel for Trust Opposed Granting Of Application
and Denied The Charge That There Was "a
Conspiracy 10 Restrain Trade.

Albany. May 1s.-Attorney General
Davies yesterday heard the appli-
cation OF William X. Hearst, seeking
permission from him to begin an ac-
tion TO annul the charter OF the Ameri-
can Ice Co., on the ground that 10
constituted monopoly within the pur-
view of the "Ant- Monopoly" law OF
1897. and also violates the provisions Of
section of the Stock Corporation law.
which reads as follows: mo domestic
stock corporation and no foreign cor
poration doing business in this state
shall combine with any other corpora
dion or person for the creation Of
monopoly or the unlawful restraint of
trade, or prevention OF competition in
any necessary of life."
Mr.. Guiterman. counsel for the ap-
pellant. then detailed the proceedings
leading up to the formation Of the
American Ice Co. Afiidavits were read
from several employees OF the Ameri-
can Ice Co., and other companies which
dt absorbed, showing that the holders
OF stock in the smaller companies had
exchanged their shares for stock OF the
American Ice Co., and had signed an
agreement not TO enter into competi-
tion with 1t for a period OF 10 years.
This, IL was held. constituted mo-
nopoly and a conspiracy under the
Antitrust law of the state, and was
the ground upon which the petitioner
was moving. Mr.. Guiterman showed
that the company practically controlled
every dock in New York city where ice
boats are unloaded
Attorney General Davies-Is not this
10 ftNla hxrf hA
ton OF the company with New York
city officials?
1T is so stated, and counsel on the
other side have not denied it," respond
ed Mr.. Guiterman.
The attorney general asked II Il had
bers OF. the New forhf City dock board
held blocks Of StoSk Ia the company.
and !dr. Guiterman said this also had
been charged. ~
In closing. Mr.. Guiterman made a
plea for a speedy decision on the appli-.
cation by the attorney general in the
interest, he said, OF the people. who
would suffer from every day of delay.
William III. Rand. Jr.. counsel for the
company, spoke In opposition to the
granting OF the application. He s:id
that he had noted in the press that the
e 'rnor had prejudged the case for
u attorney general by practically or
de~ing the granting OF the application
10 begin an action to annul the COM
pany's, charter He contended that the
allegation was false that any con-
spiracy had been entered into with any
public officers OF New York city for
undue privileges. Ii was common
procedure for companies conducting
any branch OF trade to reorganize. and
in such reorganization an exchange of
old for new stock is carried on. and il
has not been shown that the company
hes violated any law.
addressing the counsel on both sides
said that the strongest fact presented
bearing on the application was the hish
price charged for ice I'm New York city
Though decision was reserved II is
thought that the petition will later be
granted. The answer TO the complaint
was filed by counsel.
