London Dec. AFTER having achieved re-
peated triumphs with more classic numbers,
Nine Adelina Patti chose for her farewell to
London audiences this afternoon the two songs
with which she won the hearts of the people of
many countries" Home Sweet Home" and
Coming Thro the Rye" Her rendering of
these brought the audience which filled every
corner Of the Royal Albert Hall to it's feet and
the famous singer received such applause a.

clapping and cheering continued for upward Of
half hour.
Nine. Patti was deeply touched and with the
greatest difficulty repeated verse of Coming
Thro' the Rye" Earlier In the afternoon she
had sung MoZarts 'Voi Che Sa pete" and Tosti's
la Serenata' and Arditis III Baco" for which
she was repeatedly cncored. In each case size
replied with popular numbers. 1t was a trying
afternoon for the singer. but she bore up until
the end when the applause she received brought
tears to her eyes.

ANTITRUST CRUSADE.
SPECIAL COUNSEL CHOSEN
George c. Todd to Succeed Mr.
Hughes-Mr. Moody's Plans.
from The Tribune Bureau. ]

washington. Dec 1.-The Attorney General
has appointed George c. Todd. of New York.
special counsel to assist the Department of Jus
tice in the prosecution of the Eastern coal car
ryng roads which, 1t is alleged, have violated
the Antitrust law. Mr.. Todd succeeds Gov
ernor-elect Hughes. who resigned his place as
special attorney when he accepted the nominal
ton for Governor. To assist Mr.. Todd in this
work Alexander Simpson. Of Philadelphia has
been retained
Mr. Todd who has been selected for this i'm
portant work, was formerly employed as special
counsel to help Assistant Attorney General Day.
who was IN charge of trust prosecutions. He
has recently been practising law in New York
City.
The Attorney General has also determined to
press vigorously the prosecution of the Tobacco
Trust in the Eastern District of New York under
the criminal clause of the Sherman act, and
the prosecution of the Fertilizer Trust in Ten
nessee under the same clause. The utmost diff
Guilty has been expo Prienced in the past in the
effort to secure convictions under this clause.
and the decision CT the Attorney General is OF
especial Importance. because on the outcome of
these cases will rest the decision as to whether
or not the Standard Oil Company shall be prose
shown that the danger of rendering immune the
defendant prosecuted under the criminal pro-
visions Of the Sherman act is especially great,
and for that reason the department has been
disposed in the main to confine its prosecutions
to the civil clauses. The cases against the To-
bacco and Fertilizer trusts may be regarded as
practically test suits. in so far as the Standard
OIL Company is concerned.
In making his final report as ATTORNEY Cen
eral Mr.. Moody will point to the fact that the
government has already collected nearly $500
600 in fines from violators of the anti-rebat te
law and he is of the opinion that these fines
have a far greater effect than the public gen
orally supposes Several instances cited
as showing that the infiction OF fine Is likely
TO have a salutary effect In compelling respect
for the law.
Should the government win all the
which II now has in court, represented by over
six thousand indictments, fines to the amount
of S12OOOOOOO would be collected, and. while
1t is not likely that all of these prosecutions
will prove successful, it is regarded certain
that sufficient number Will be decided in favor
of the government to demonstrate beyond doubt
that lawbreaking Of this character is decidedly
improbable.
