Anti. Trust Fight.

JEFFERSON, Mo-, April 19.-In the pro-
ceedings of the supreme court to GUST the
tobacco companies from doing business in
Missouri for alleged violation of the anti
trust laws, Assistant Attorney General
PefIries today filed an exception to the
report of Special Commissioner Butler who
held that the Missouri law IS unconsiilu-
tional; and Att'y.Gen. Jefiries today took
the position that it makes no difference
whether the law is unconstitutional or not,
the petition is based upon the proposition
that the tobacco trust is combination in
restraint Of trade, and that it is mon.
opoly at common law, having no right to
exist, irrespective of the statute.

Of the ways and means leaders, said thai
the amendment which the opponents OF
the ways and means committee had en-
grated upon the Payne Oil, not only
wiped out the dilIerential on sugar, but
also did away with the countervaiing
duty of the Dingley law. Mr.. Weeks
(Michigan) made spirited rejoinder in
behalf of those who opposed the ways and
means committee. He frankly conceded
that the motive of the opposition had
been to kill the reciprocity bill
The fortifcation bill was passed and the
