WASHINGTON, d. c., July "a
The tobacco trust. which is the
latest trust selected for prosecu-
ten by the department of justice,
Isl one of the most complete COM
bihations in the United States.
1t controls about 80 per cent of
the business of producing smoking
and chewing tobacco and snuff as
well as cigarets. 1t probably does
net control more than Is per cent
of the cigar manufacturing trade.
1t Is presumed under the Sher-
man law to be a vicious institu-
tion, since 1t Is clearly combina-
tion in restraint of trade.
I'VE are not undertaking to
prove that the tobacco trust is
morally or economically an Of
fender" said Assistant Attorney
General Purdy, who has charge or
the prosecution. 1T is not neces-
sary. The Sherman act presumes
that a combination which brings to-
gether so much power in single
hands will be abused"
This was the answer of the de-
partment of justice to a request
for specific details as to the man
ner in which the tobacco trust had
worked injury to the public at
large.
In addition to the prosecution by
the department of justice an in
quiry is being conducted by the
bureau OF corporations. The re-
suits will not be ready for months.
There are different ways in
which trust may be offensive
said a high official Of the depart
ment of justice. Limiting the
supply, deteriorating the product,
and raising the price are things
most offensive since they affect the
consumer. Another way is in
driving small competitors out of
business by unfair methods.
Finally the way in which trust
may and generally does abuse the
power which it acquires by com.
hination is in reducing the price
which the trust pays for raw ma
terial.
"You have asked whether the
government Is prepared to prove
that the tobacco trust has depre-
ciated the product. l would say
probably not. The government is
not founding its prosecution on
any such ground. 1t would be
hard to prove anything In regard
to the general quality of tobacco.
II am asked whether the public
has been made to suffer from the
unwarrantably high price of tobac-
co. Nothing In our investigations
has brought to light as yet any Sc
rious hardships thus worked on the
consuming public. The man or
woman who wants 1t can generally
spare the price OF the necessary
tobacco or snuff.
1.-The next point Is the fact that
it eliminates the middleman. But
here again | must admit that the
public is not made to suffer,
1T is an economic gain to elm.
mate the middleman.
Next comes the question OF
driving to the wall the small re-
taller. The governments case
against the tobacco trust Is not cal
culated to develop any testimony
along this line. The tobacco trust
lis combination principally OF the
manufacturing industry. AS to the

SHORTAGE OF WATER
ON STATEN ISLAND.
People In the Hill Sections Suffer for
Supply While City Dickers
for Plants.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S:-While the
private water companies of Staten
Island and the city authorities are
diekering over the price to be paid
by the city for these plants shortage
of water on the hill sections of Staten
Island has caused suffering this win
ter, and the prospects for let up in
the condition does not seem bright at
the present time.
While water famine on Staten
Island is not by any means rare
things, yet this winter 1t has lasted
longer than usual; in fact, winter
famine Is new experience, the short
age usually occurring In the summer.
The city closed long ago with the
Crystal Water Company, OF Stapleton,
for the purchase of It's plant and
equipment, but as yet the city has not
taken hold. The Staten Island Water
Supply Company has offered to sell to
the city and named price. Commits
sioners have appraised the plant and
fixed a value, which has been accept
ed by the company, but to date moth
ing has been done, the whole matter
being held up by the question of
value of the sources of supply. Mean
time the public suffers, rents are re-
fused to landlords and leases are be-
ing broken by tenants.

POOL MATCH FOR GIRLS FAVOR
Three Nights of Play In a Peculiar

lady as the stake are being Mayed in
three different pool rooms here In
this city. Although the utmost has
been done to try to keep the matter
secret the affair has cropped out. AL
though the names of the participants
and the young lady are withheld, the
rules and conditions of the game are
known.
Three games of twenty-five points
are to be played on three consecutive
nights. The reason for not having
game of more points 1t to allow a
certain amount of chance and the rea-
son for playing the game ion three
consecutive nights is in fairness to
both parties, they not being able to
say or claim it was their off night In
lieu of defeat. Furthermore, each
game is to be played at a different
pool room, so that neither can claim
the other was the more familiar with
the table.
The first of the three games was

each, the rubber or final game is to
be played this evening at the Arcade,

WITH SECRETARY ROOT
IN BRAZIL TRAVELS.

(From with Secretary Root in
Brazil" by REQ Bennett, in the Met
ropolitan Magazine)
When the hot north winds begin to
blow (sounds foolish. doesn't it?),
the elite, the four hundred, so to
sspeals; pack off to Petropolis. This
beautiful Alpine town is situated
some thirty miles away from Rio in
the Estrella Mountains, at an alti-
tude of three thousand feet.
At $3.50 each afternoon the crowd
starts for the boat. AS you purchase
your ticket or show your pass, as the
case may be, you are handed tick
ct which bears the number Of your
car and seat In the train on the other
side of the bay.
The boat leaves on the stroke Of
the hour of four, and takes an hour
to the tick of the clock to go the nine
teen miles across the bay. Here are
the Great Ones of Brazil. Yonder
gathering might be cabinet meet
ing. The President of the Republic,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
other members of the cabinet sit in
earnest conversation.
They have a saying in Rio, "All the
business of Brazil is determined on
the Petropolis boat and true it may
be, for the hundred or more passen-
gers of the boat include most of those
that you hear about in days trav-
els in this part of the world.
The rolling stock of the Leopold
ina, for that is the railroad that pro-
vides this service, is excellent.
When all are aboard, the train
starts off at high rate of speed
which is maintained for twenty min
utes. Then the train stops. The
stranger must look out of the win
dow. A queer engine comes up be-
hind the train, the two rear cars are
detached, the queer engine, which is
of the rack pattern, backs off with
them. Another rack engine takes the
next two cars; then third one takes
the remaining car or two. Away
they all start, possibly hundred
yards apart, at speed of ten or fif-
teen miles an hour At the top the
train Is again made up, a regular en-
gine attached, and away you go to
Petropolis, where you arrive exactly
two hours after leaving Rio.
Brazil is the only country in the
world where the diplomatic corps do
not reside in the capitol; Petropolis,
sometimes called the Versailles OF
Brazil, is their permanent address,
and only urgent business or social
events takes them away from their
quaint mountain town.
