TOBACCO TRUST NOW
SPECIAL INQUIRY In PROGRESS
FOR some time.
Every Form of Tobacco in the Unit.
ed States and Cuba, u Is Stated,
PAYS Tribute to the TruSt-A
Great Mass Of Evidence Before
the Grand Jury.

New York, May l2.-By order OF
President Roosevelt an Investigation
into the business methods Of the tobac.
CO trust has resulted in the beginning
of proceedings before the federal grand
jury Of the district Of New York under
the Sherman antitrust law. This be.
came known when the grand jury ask
ed Judge Lacombe to direct a witness,
an official Of subsidiary tobacco
company, to answer questions and pro.
duce his books.
For months, it was developed. Henry
W. Taft, brother Of the secretary OF
war, assisted by Felix H. Levy and E.
N. Hill, Of Boston, all specially ap.
pointed assistant United States district
attorneys, has been quietly investigat-
ing the trust and tits subsidiary com.
panies not only in New York city but
throughout the Union.
Mr.. Taft, as the head of the federal
Investigators. would only say:
"This IL an action under the Sher.
man anti trust law. Its scope l can
not now reveal, nor may l say what
has been done nor what is expected to
be done until after the matter has
passed beyond the grand jury, or at
least has become in part a court rec.
ord"
Widespread CONTROL.
In making the investigation, it was
said from Washington, it has been
found that every form of tobacco, not
alone in the United States, but in
Cuba, is now practically in the hands
Of the trust. A man may not conduct
the tobacco business at all unless he
purchases from one of the allied com.
panies, for the famous domestic and
imported cigars are all owned by it;
all the standard forms Of chewing to.
bacco, snuff, cigarettes and smoking
tobacco are absolutely under its con.
troll.
Independent manufacturers and deal.
ers in tobacco by the score have been
asked for their testimony. Every per.
son who might have cause for com.
plant at the trusts treatment has been
questioned until the evidence accumu.
lated might be measured by the bushel
basket. It was to this that the atten.
ton Of the grand jury was called or
its first days session and subpoenas is
sued for officials of various companies
controlled by the main corporation, the
American Tobacco Company.
With the first witness, Edward F
Hale aoCretarv IF the M0Androwa e
Forbes Company, one of the larges,
Subsidiary concerns, it became known
that bitter legal fight will be made
and in test case in contempt pro
ceedings will depend whether a score
or more great dnanciers will be called
and the books of the companies openee
for federal inspection. So far as coulG
be learned civil proceedings to enjoir
or restrain the trust have not yet beer
instituted, and may depend on the out
come of the other undertaking.

BEARDED RAILROAD
LIONS At BANQUET
Taft Tells Them Rates Are Due
to Fall. and That They
Should Acquiesce'

Washington. May 10.-Secretary
Taft fairly took the breath Of the 500
railroad men, members of the Inter.
national Railway Congress, dining Last
night as the guests Of the American
Railway Association at the New Will.
lard hotel. when, after being intro.
duced as 1.-The apostle from the Phil.
ippines," he emphatically declared
that railway ratio legislation must
come; that If the railway men of the
country we're wise they would aid and
not hinder it; that the sentiment OF
the country is such that failure OF
proper regulation meant a campaign
on the subject that would do no good
to the railroads.
Absolute silence reigned as Secretary
Taft spoke his mind on the subject OF
rates. He was positively against gov
eminent ownership, he said, believing
that nothing 80 deleterious could come
to the country as this solution Of the
question. But" he continued, "you
cannot run railroads as you run pri-
vate business. You must respond to
the public demand. If there is danger
of discrimination then you must allow
the establishment Of some tribunal
that will remedy that discriminate n. u
The secretary saw no reason why a
tribunal properly constituted should
not be competent in every sense of the
word to fix a maximum rate.
Fish AnSwerSS
President Stuyvesant Fish, of the
American Railway Association, had
introduced Secretary Taft in his ca.
pacity of toastmsaster. Mr.. Fish was
on his feet the instant the secretary
concluded. He answered the secretary
at length, taking the view that the Law
to prevent Discrimination, double deal
ing and secret rebates was ample, and
he vigorously called for the enforce
ment of that law. Mr.. Fish talked Of
the vested rights Of the money tied NJ
in railroads. He apologized for allow
ing himself to be diverted, and as hi
sat down Secretary Taft queried in q
low tone, "May have fifteen minute.
to reply" This time was given, and
the secretary utilized 1t in making
himself even more positive as to hi
position in favor of legislation which
would create tribunal with authority
to name a maximum rate. "What
am strongly in favor Of" he said, "is
that we shall have body that shall
decide things, and that those things
shall be decided within a reasonable
time finally by the courts"
Mr.. Fish then took up the argument
contending it was the question Of fix
ing the rate for the seller of goods.

CURED BY CUTICURA
 IN TWO WEEKS

Mrs. George J. Steese, of TOT Coburn St., Akron, Ohio, tells in the following letter of another of those remarkable cures of torturing, disfguring skin humors daily made by Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Oiutm ent, after physicians, and all else had failed: "I feel 1t my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called iD three doc tors, they all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was eaten away, her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of soap and box of ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body was as clear as a newborn babes. l would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead ofseventy-fve cents, which is all it cost us to cure our baby, after spending many dollars on doctors and medicines without any benefit whatever"

How to Make Time Fly.

BERTHE was very cross and miserable
because he had to do his lessons. He
had thrown his books pettishly on the
table and had ruffled his hair in a fit
of temper. and had stamped upon the
floor and had done other foolish things.
and now he was standing at the window

slowly the time went by Tick, tick

was! Why did it not 90 faster? 1t
seemed ages since ten o'clock. and yet
it was only eleven now Another hour
and half before lunch.
His father entered the room and look
ed at him sadly. "Tired of doing moth

lawn with me, and I will show you
something"
They walked out together. and Berries
father showed him the birds darting
hither and thither. the sparrows and

A few minutes later there came the
glad cry: Here 1 am, Aunt Ella!
And it's done The wool won't cost

wants to see the gloves and mittens."
The two women looked at each
other. The face of the visitor flushed
crimson, and the pale face of the
other grew paler.
Margaret, why did you come here?"
"To give back your own Really,
Ella, I never dreamed that it was this
way with you I was abroad, you

I am just back-a heart-broken

Praise God.

Praise God for a home. Tens of
thousands of boys and girls will go to
sleep tonight without mother to tuck
them into bed and without any of the
pleasures of home about them.
Praise God for food and clothes. Mil
lions Of persons are hungry to-day, and
many of them are suffering for want Of
clothing.
Praise God that you do not lift blind
eyes to sky you have never seen. Be
grateful for your sight, through which
so many of your pleasures come Praise
the kind Father in Heaven, too, for your
hearing and speech
Are not the sun, the moon, the stars,
the air, the water, the rain, the snow,
the trees, the flowers. worth a word of
praise? Yet how seldom do we thank
God for these common blessings?
Praise God for books and for the
pleasure and power which come from
reading and education.
Praise God for the wonderful inven-
tons and progressive spirit which make
to-day the best time in all the worlds
history to be alive. The comworts, the
conveniences, the pleasures and the bless
ings that are possible to all of us in these
modern days are surely worth Thank
your' to the great Giver of them all.
Praise God, most of all, for the blessed
Bible and the loving Savior, Jesus is the
theme of the praises that are sung in
heaven; shall he not be our chiefcst
cause for praise here?
How shall we do all this praising?
With our lips In our hearts By our
lives. Just to be glad and grateful is
praise that pleases God Then, to give
another person reason to be glad and
grateful is still better way of praising
God.
