THE TOBACCO TRUST"
CONTINUED from Page One.)

Great Britain: Thomas F. Ryan, Pierre
Lorillard, Peter A. Il. Widener, An
thony n. Brady and practically all OF
the other directors of the American
Tobacco Company. The petition Is
signed by Attorney General Charles }.
Bonaparte, Milton D. Purdy and Ed
win PGrosvenOr and James c. Rey-
Mods assistant attorneys general.
Asked whether he intended to urge
the court to appoint receivers Tor the
corporation, Mr.. McReynoids said he
could only decide after the hearing Of
evidence given by the witnesses.
What precedent have you for ask
ing for the appointment of receivers?"
he was asked.
THE Sherman law under which this
action is brought" replied Mr.. Nc
Reynolds, provides that the court
may restrain and prevent the opera
tons of a combination. If the court
finds that the appointment Of receivers
is necessary to prevent operations of
this combination, it may do SO. We ask
the court to enjoin these companies.
Ii it did 50 it might prevent men from
buying tobacco but if receivers are ap-
pointed the business would be contin-
ued, the public would not be embar-
raised by inability to purchase tobacco
and the receiver might sell Of the var
ious factories to independent concerns
thus effectively dissolving the combi-
nation"
Mr.. McTt-ynolds said he had no idea
how soon the taking cf evidence would
begin.

BELL UNDER THE SEA.
NOVEL WARNING TO SHIPS OF
= APPROACHING PERIL.
Electricity Conveyed by Cable From

4 Sound Travels Five or Ten
Miles Through Water.

Washington novel method to
Inform ship captains of the approach
III their vessels to the danger zone
has been perfected in connection with
the use of the system of submarine
bell signals In places where the bell
cannot be placed on d light ship or
lighthouse.
The electric bell is hung from a
tripod set ON the bottom OF the sea
at the edge OF the shoal at the re-
duired point and this bell is struck
by mechanism operated by cur
rent of electricity conveyed through
q cable from the signal station on
shore. Such station at Point Aller-
ton, Mass, and another at the en-
SSnce to Halifax harbor are operated
with cables more than two miles long.
The bell strikes any code that is
desired and the sound travels through
dhe water, SO that vessels from five to
ten miles away hear 1t, and get direc-
tions accurately In a fog or at night
when equipped with receiving appa-
3atus.
: The lighthouse board has made ar
Engagements TO place these submarine
! tlsignals on all light ships not already
iso equipped, including the five vessels
approaching completion at the yards
of the New York Shipbuilding com
apany and the four TO be built at the

eRENAoEs OF WAR OF 1912.
Ordnance Found at Fort MeHenry IL

than 100 years old.
The missiles are of the earliest
make used by the United States gov.
enment, and were probably placed at
the historic old fort when It was first
erected in 1912. Owing to the way In
which they were packed the grenades
had only the slightest trace of rust
on them.
The discovery of the weapons re.

Several days after the discovery
one of the new recruits at the fort
was found trying to dry the powder
in one of the missiles by roasting 1t
on the fire. A report was made to
Lieut.. Watson, in command of the
post, who said that he intended to
write to the authorities and ask per-

of the Chesapeake bay as they were
so oldfashioned that they would be
of practically no use whatever in mod.
