NEW YORK, January 3.-The prosecu-
ton in the case of the McAndreWs &
Forbes Company and j. s. Young Com
pany and Karl Jungbllth and Howard ID.
Young, charged with violating the Sher-
man antitrust law, In an attempt to
monopolize the sale of licorice paste In
this country, was continued to-day. An
announcement that the prosecution was
ready to rest was made by the govern
ment, after Judge Hough had sustained
the governments contention that the case
should go to the jury on all three of the
counts specified In the indictment. One
of the counts charged the defendants with
effecting combinations; another that 1t
entered into conspiracy" and third
that it attempted to monopoiize the
paste industry" Among the spectators
in the courtroom when Attorney Julius
Parker made the opening argument for
the defense was James 3. Duke, prest-
dent of the American Tobacco Company
of which it is charged the Mc.Andrews &
Forbes Company and the j. S. Young
Company are subsidiaries
The Duke of Durham.
Mr.. Duke was called by the defense.
He said he was president of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, and had been
since It's formation. He suggested TO
Mr.. Jungbluth, president of the Mean
drews and Forbes Company. a corporation
controlled by the Continental Company,
to buy out the Weaver and Sterry Com
pany. Owing to difficulty they We're ex-
periencing In getting raw root. Mr.. Duke
said he objected to selling paste to others,
as he did not deem 1t wise to furnish
others with root and paste when their
own supply might at any time be cur
tailed Mr. Duke also said he told Mr..
Jungbluth that he did not consider 1t
good business to sell the paste to COM
petitors without making fair profit, in
view of the large investment they had
in the licorice paste industry. They had
finally agreed upon 10 cents per pound
as a fair price for the paste. He in
sisted there had been no attempt to
raise the price to an unreasonable figure.
Mr.. Duke concluded his direct eXami-
nation by saying that at his suggestion
the McAndrews and Forbes Company pur-
chased the Young Company's business.
Continental Controls.
''Who owns the stocks of the Moan
drews and Forbes Company?' was Mr..
Parker's final question.
.The Continental Tobacco Company
owns 10 per cent of the stock. The re-
naming 30 per cent was given by the
Continental Company to the men ac-
tually in charge of tho business of the
concern"
"why did Mr.. Jungbluth object to the
increase of price of licorice root?" queried
Mr.. Taft.
HE thought we had better supply tho
independent dealers at low price, so
they would not be induced to go into
the root business, and therefore inter-
fere with our own root supply.
Mr.. Duke said they bought out Young
and Lewis to get control of their root
supply.
you wanted to keep everything else
out of the busness?"
TT was matter of supreme indifference
to me whether we sold to the independent
dealers or not, said Mr.. Duke.

[From our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON. ID. c.. January 1.-The
jamestown Tercentenary Commission
met this afternoon and received from
Giles b. Jackson, director-general of the
Negro Development and Exposition Conl-
pony. detailed statement of the moneys
expended in the work OF promoting the
exposition and In accomplishing various
things since Congress made the appro-
priation of 100000 for the negro exhibit.
The statement was filed in accordance
with a request of the commission, made
at a meeting about ten days ago. when
Jackson surprised the members by ask
ing that he be allowed the sum of $50, COO,
representing salary for the past two
years. He claims to have expended con-
siderable more than that sum In travel
ing and mourning other expenses trying
to promote the company. There is ground
for pretty positive statement that noth-
ing will be paid Giles for expenses prior
to the passage of the bill appropriating
100000.
The statement is very voluminous, and
as there was only one copy, rypewriters
were set to work upon 1t, in order to have
completed by Saturday a digested copy
for each member of the commission. The
board directed that three copies be sub
United, but the order was disregaried.
The statement will not be made public
until Saturday.
1t is understood that the commission is
experiencing considerable trouble in try
ing to have the negroes follow instruc-
tons in the matter of bookkeeping and
doing business generally. This Is esps-
cially true of the matter of vouchers.
which are required to be of uniform
character, prescribed by the department.
The board will meet again Saturday.
The meeting this afternoon was held in
the Office of Secretary Shaw who was
present, as was also Secretary Taft and
Assistant Secretary Edwards

Later.-The police have not yet sue
ceeded In identifying the terrorist who
shot the project of police, Major-General
Won der Launitz. at the Institute of Ex-
perimental Medicine this afternoon and
who turned his revolver on himself while
he was falling under the sabres of the
projects escort. The authorship of this
crime. however. like the recent assassina-
ton of Count Ignatieff and the unsuccess-
full attempt to blow up Premier Stolypin
with bomb. has been traced to the fight
Ing organization of the social revolution
| lists. The organization issued the Gus
| tomary proclamation to-day avowing and
| justifying the killing of General Won der
| Launitz. which was accomplished with
an ease and simplicity that has struck
terror ir1o the hearts of all other officials
| on the revolutionary death list. The man
who committed the crime was about %
years of age. and apparently belonged to
| the intelligent working class The police
| affirm he was a Jew. He was provided
with card of admission to the dedica-
ton of the church. but this card bore no
| name. The authorities have not been able
to learn how he obtained the invitation
to the ceremony, which was extremely
select. only $50 invitations having been
issued.
The fact that General Won der Launltz
was to attend the conservation OF the in
stitution was not generally known, and
the Socialist revolutionists must have
learned the fact from sources in the de-
parment of police. The project was ac-
companied to the chapel by his usual
bodyguard of Secret Service men, but
not one of these had the slightest sus-
picion of the murderer, although his toll
stained hands were completely out of
harmony with his faultless evening
clothes. garb which everybody attending
official ceremonies in Russia must DON
The fall of General Won er Launtz was
followed by scene of indescribable
hysteria and confusion. The Duke of
Oldenburg. who was one of the few men
who retained their composure, seized the
assassin's hand after he had fired twice,
and several succeeding shots were dis
charged into the ceiling. But before the
Duke of Oldenburg could disarm him, one
of the officers. who accompanied the prs
feet, drew his sabre and struck the as
sassin a powerful blow, which completely
cut out a portion of his skull. AS the man
was falling he shot himself In the stom-
ach with the last bullet in his revolver.
His death was instantaneous, but several
officers continued to hack frenZiedly at
his PROSTATE body until the Duke Of
Oldenburg struck up their sabres and
forced them to desst.
In addition to two arrests made within
the church. several other persons were
taken into custody in neighboring In
strument factory. which is believed 10
have served as headquarters for the ter
rorists. 40

the question Of suitable habitation

as it is impracticable for man rea-

issuing bonds slightly in excess Of

Of the sum reported for Missis-
