= Array Of Legal Talent

New York. May 19.-Proceedings
which may result in the entire disso-
luton of the $500, 100000 combine
which practically controls the tobac-
co business of the country We're
commenced today in the United
States circuit court. The case of the
government against the American
Tobacco company is set for hearing
today, and while the brilliant legal
talent employed by the trust may
be able to ward off the blow for a
time, it is alleged that sufficient evil
dence has been procured to bring
about the forcible dissolution of the
combine by the federal government,
acting under the Sherman antitrust
law.
In addition to the American To-
bacco company, the government suit
names as defendants more than six
ty allied and subsidiary companies,
and about twenty individuals con-
nected Herewith. Among the con-
Germs affected are the American Ci-
gar Company the United Cigar
Stores Company, the American Snuff
Company and the American Licorice
Company.

interest in the vicinity of Louisville

will be evident when it. is stated that
the actual membership of the asso-
citation is over coo; that it repre-
sents the refiners of cotton seed oil
from all parts of the Union; the pro-
ducers of cotton seed oil throughout
the south; the exporters, dealers
and brokers of this country and Eu-
rope, and that it represents an in
vestment of something like $780,
000, 600, and the export business
amounts to between $50, 600, 900
and $35, 900, ,000 annually.

tion against the Galveston. Harris
burg and San Antonio and other rail-
roads to recover taxes and penalties.
The state supreme court held the
penalties void under the state legis
lature, but upheld the tax. The law
imposed on certain corporations
an annual tax on railroad corpora
tions equal to l per cent of their
gross receipts" when they lie Who'll
ly within the state,
The decision held that while the
railroads are within the state. much
the larger part of their gross receipts
are derived from passengers and
freight coming from or destined to
points outside the state; that while
the state can tax the property of a
railroad at its actual value as a go
ing concern, it cannot tax the inter-
state business.
Chief Justices Fuller and Associ-
ate Justices White, Harlan and Nc

several hundred thousand dollars OF
revenue, due from these roads beside

FOR MURDER
Of HER BABE
This Is Sworn Charge Made
Against Nacogdoches Coun-
ty Young Woman
VERDICT OF THE CORONER
Inquest Before Jury Results in Ac-
cusation Of Mrs. Nancy Bailey
and Miss Nolar Bailey
Creates Sensation.

Naco sdoebes, Texas, May 19.-The
town of Garrison and the entire
northern end of Nacogdoches county
is having sensation, and the courts
are going to have to contend with
two murder cases, with women as
the~defendants.
Some two months ago a young
lady, the daughter of a well to do
farmer living about two miles from
Garrison went away from home to
spend a few weeks. On May she
returned home with a bright and
healthy baby boy, and she stated
that she had been in a sanitarium at
Shreveport, where the child was
born About a week later the child
disappeared. and after persistent in
quiry on the part of neighbors, the
mother of the young girl as we'll
as the young lady herself, told them
that the child had died and they
had buried it.
The grave was located near the
house and the remains eXhumed. A
post mortem developed the startling
fact that foul murder had been
committed An inquest was held
Saturday by Justice Alternately be-
fore jury, the jury returning a YER
dict substantially that the child had
come to its death by being struck on
the head with some blunt instrument
by Mrs. Nancy Bailey and Miss No
lar Bailey, grandmother and mother
of the infant. County Attorney Rus
sell at once made complaint against
the two women, charging them with
murder, and the examining trial is
set for Monday, June /.

and 7S,700,000 preferred stock.
The preferred stock has no voting
power, that being solely vested in
the common stock, which is limited
to 6 per cent. earning power.
According to a statement by Spe-
cial Prosecutor McReynolds, the
evidence gathered by the govern
ment shows that the American To-
bacco Company, with its $27 4,OOO,-
900 of assets, and the subsidiary
companies with their 500, ,00O, 900
of assets, together with the British
American Tobacco Company, with
its s100, 100000 of assets--making
nearly s500,000,0 900 in all-are con-
trolled by eight men or states.
These eight men, or states, by. a
characteristic exercise of high If
nance control the whole $500 ,000,-
900 combine through their owner
ship of a majority of the $40, 000,-
900 of common stock of the Amer
ican Tobacco Company, the parent
concern. To do this they need hold
but s21,000,G00 of the stock.
These eight men or states are
James B. Duke, Thomas F. Ryan,
Anthony n Brady. Benjamin n.
Duke, Col Oliver H. Payne; the es-
tate of the late William l.. Elkins,
of Philadelphia; Peter A. B. Wide
ner, of Philadelphia, and the estate
of William c. Whitney.
Ryan owns $4,000 shares of the
common stock and draws an income
of nearly $4,000 a day, or $500, 900
a year, from his trust holdings. Col.
Oh L
kins' estate owns 10000 shares
President Duke holds $4,000 shares
and George Arents, of this city, one
of the original organizers, holds 12,-
900 shares. The trust has been doing
until the recent slump, tremend-
ously profitable business, paying as
high as % per cent. dividends. The
dividends on the preferred are not
limited in amount.
The trust is controlled By the Ry0n
Syndicate, which first organized the
Union Tobacco Company, and then
dubbed the American Tobacco Com
pany into absorbing them at fancy
price, after which the Ryan crowd
proceeded to snatch the reigns from
those whom they found in power.
The executive brains of the trust
is President Duke, who began life
in the south without means. The
financial brains of the combine, since
w. c. Whitneys death, has been
Thomas F. Ryan.
The tobacco trust has a practical
monopoly of the cigar, cigarette
snuff, licorice, cheroot and chewing
and smoking trade in Moth and
South America and Great Britain.
