Case to Go the Jury on All Three Of the
Counts Specified in the Indictment-.-s
Continental Tobacco Company Owns
Seventy Per Cent. of the McAndrews
& Forbes Company Stock.
New York, Jan, S.-The prosecution
in the case of the MacAndrews &
Forbes company, the ]. S. Young COM
pany and Karl Jungbluth and Howard
Z. Young, charged with violating the
Sherman antitrust law in an attempt
to monopolize the sale of licorfce paste
in this country, was concluded to-day.
Judge Hough sustained the govern
ment's contention that the case should
go to the jury on all three of the countsl
specified in the indictment. One of the
counts charges the defendants with ef-y
fecting combination" another that
1T entered into a conspiracy" and the
third that it attempted to monopolize
the paste industry" Counsel for the
defense contended that the government
should elect which Of the counts of the
Indictment it proposed to rest its case
upon, but their contention was over-
ruled by the court.
Among the spectators in the court
room when Attorney Junius Parker
made the opening argument fro the de-
tense was James B. Duke, president of
the American Tobacco company, Of
which it is charged the MacAndrews &
Forbes company and the j. S. Young
company are subsidiaries
| Mr.. Parker, in his argument, declar-
! ed that the defense would show that the
| defendants had at no time violated the
Sherman antitrust law.
| The facts were, he said, that the Cons
tinental Tobacco company owned 20 per
| cent. Of the stock Of the MacAndrewz
| & Forbes company, and therefore con-
trolled the Young company and the
other. plants named in the indictment.
The Continental company, said Mr..
Parker, made 50 per cent. of the plug
tobacco produced in the country. The
| Continental company had simply ham
died its own business as it saw fit, with
/ the idea of protecting its sources OF
raw supply Of licorice root. Because Of
the situation prevailing in the Orient,
! Mr.. Parker contended, the company
! took steps to control that source Of raw
i supply. AT every turn the sultan of
i Turkey might, at his discretion place
/ an export tax on the raw root, ph8cil1g
TIT beyond their ability to SECURE
i The Continental company could have
/ legally declined to supply any Of It's
competitors with licorice paste, he con-
tended, but, on the contrary, It had
freely sold to them. He said in conclu-
! sion that the Continental company
owned the MacAndrews & Forbes COM
pany and had perfect legal right to
administer its own business in its own
way. and as it saw fit without violat-
ing any of the provisions Of the Sher-
man anti trust law, or without being
guilty of conspiracy" combining Or
"monopolizing" They could not con-
spire or combine with themselves, he
said, and the proof would show the
defense had made no attempt to mos
nopolize or control anything but the
supply Of the raw root to protect its
own business.
Mr.. Duke was the first witness called
by the defense. He said he was the
i president of the American Tobacco
company, and had been since its forn-

Washington, Jan. 3.-After two weeks
of vocation the senate sat for two and
a half hours to-day and then adjourned
until Monday. The session was devot-
ed almost entirely to further discus
sion Of President Roosevelt's order dis
missing the negro troops of the Twen-
ty-ffth infantry for shooting up
Brownsville, Texas.
Senator Culberson defended the or
der Bringing to it's support many quo
tatdons taken in connection with the
affray. He closed with an impassion-
ed statement of the position Of the
south on the negro, which he declared
to be the most vital and dangerous
problem before the American people.
Senator Foraker replied briefly, ex-
pressing his intense interest in having
speedy action on his resolution for an
investigation. Senator Lodge proposed
an amendment to his resolution for
an investigation, which had the effect
of admitting the presidents authority
as mander-in-chief of the army
and navy to take the action he did,
and of restricting the investigation to
the occurrence in Brownsville On mo-
ton of Senator Hale, the resolution
was given the right of way Monday.

strawberry tendency to make the consumer

baldi American citizens of Italian origin have
long been noted for the fine quality of patriotic
sentiment shown in their profuse and reveren-
tial display Of the American flag on all festal
occasions including even those which have no
direct relation TO this country. To-day they will
manifest the same disposition, with even more
zeal and enthusiasm than ever before: and if
in thought and word and jubilation they dwell
upon their own former national hero as much
as, or even more than, upon the ''resounding
and gltterng generalities' Of the birth cry of
their adopted land, shall not censure them.
For the Liberator of Italy looms large enough
in the history not only of Italy but of the
world to hold his place beside the men of
1916 and his direct personal connection with
both North and South America, and with this
State and City Of New York as a one time
citizen, is sufficient give us special interest
in him, as a man who belonged TO us in only

FILIPINO REGISTRATION

Disappointment and regret are expressed and
may appropriately be felt, at the result Of tho
registration OF voters for the forthcoming gen
eral elections in the Philippines. There would
| be much more surprise, Also than there is If 1t
had been possible for informed and tudicious
people to accept seriously the representations
of some Of the insstent advocates OF immediate
Philippine independence. We were told that the
Filiplnos as a whole formed an intelligent and
public spirited nation, quite competent for and
earnestly DESTROYS of self government, and that
as soon as the American usurpers were out of
the way they would show to the world fine
triumph of pure democracy.
We must believe that If such really we're
the case the FilpnOs would have improved to
| the full their earliest opportunity to demon
strate the fact. When the word was given for
the election Of national assembly they would
have taken patriotic pride in flocking 10 the
polls in securing the fullest possible registrl-
ton and polling, and thus in making their first
assembly representative OF the largest possible
constituency. That Is what the Cubans did
when this country intrlsted them with the
election Of n Congress. That is what the Porto
RicanS did when they enfranChiSed That
is what the Russians did, in circumstances not
half so hopeful as those in the Philippines
There should have been a universal outpourinC
OF all qualified Filpnoss to the registration
booths, TO show to the world the desire and the
fitness Of the nation for self government; and
we do not hesitate TO say that such action on
their part would have been one of the strong
est arguments for intrusting them with n large
measure OF self-rule
But what did they do instead? In Manila
with civilized population of about 22OOOt
only 1900 voters registered, and 300 of them
We're Americans. Filipino leaders had estimated
TINT at least 10000 would register. The actual
registration. G500 only trife more than
a third OF that number. There were no obstacles
10 registration and there was no lack of in
formation as to what was being done and its
necessity and significance The people simply
did not care TO vote, would not take the
trouble to do so. And only about one person
in thirty odd will be able TO vote at this months
election. Returns from all the islands are not
yet at hand, but il Is reported that even greater
apathy prevailed elsewhere than in Manila so
that the total registration for the archipelago
is not probably more than $4,000 in civilized
population OF nearly 7.OOo.0O0-say about one
in 1870
1t will not do to say that they had no faith
