between President Roosevelt and the
governors of the various States and

question of the conservation of the nat

morning a 10 O'Clock. President Roose-

which he invited Governor John A

haps the most distinguished speaker
was James J. Hill, chairman of the
board of directors of the Great North

Mr. Hill presented an exhaustive ar
ray OF statistics to show that not only
were coal iron and the forests disap-
pearing under the system OF waste
prevalent in the country, but that
farm lands in various sections were
fast becoming arid tracts of land. He
then sounded a warning, declaring that
social and political ruin were certain
eventually to follow when the country
could not yield sustenance for the
people.
/ Not only the economic. but the po-
I litical future of the nation is involved -

THAW MUST PROVE
THAT He IS SANE,
HIS JUDGE RULES
Court Reserves Decision on Con-
stitutionaIity of SIayer's
Commitment.

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, May IL
The battle for Harry *. Thaw's liberty
began today before Supreme Court Jus
tice Morschauser, with James q. Gra-
ham commanding the forces for Stan
ford Whites slayer. and District At
torney jerome opposing him.
Even if Thaw wins, it is asserted
that District Attorney Jerome will have
him rearrested as a menace to the
community.
At the outset, Justice Morschauser
decided that there We're two distinct
issues: the constitutionality of Thaw's
commitment and the question of his
sanity.
District Attorney Jerome urged that
Mr.. Graham take his stand ON the
commitment issue.
For" said the district attorney, IF
Mr Graham has any faith in his point
it can be settled, and if the court
should rule the commitment faulty, it
would save a lot of expense"
1t was finally decided to proceed with
the trial Of both the constitutionality
and insanity questions, the judge re-
serving his decision on the former
and ruling that the burden of the proof
of sanity rested with Thaw's side. Mr..
Graham was plainly surprised, and
said he had not expected such a move.
The first witness called was DR..
Frank Mcclure, one OF the physicians
at the Tombs, who visited Thaw daily
while he was u prisoner there awaiting
trial
Mr. Jerome said that if DR. Nc
Guire was being qualified as an expert
the State would admit that he is an
expert Mr.. Graham said that the wit
ness was not to be regarded as an eX-
pert. In this hearing each side is lin
tied to five expert witnesses.

TOBACCO MAGNA1E
STILL EXPOSING
METHODS OF DUKE
Richardson Tells How Trusts
Subsidiary Company Appeared
as Active Competitor.
RICHARDSON IGNORED
CHOICE OF DIRECTORS
Duke Soon Started Fight in
Memphis and Interfered
with Management.

The fourth day of the amazing eN-
posure of methods employed by the
tobacco trust in crushing competition
opened today before, Vice Chancellor
Howell with the cross examination of
Robert z. Richardson, of Reidsville,
y. C. James b. Duke president of the
American Tobacco Company, the COM
plainant, was not in court. 1t is the
first day he has been absent. The case
promises to take mp several weeks, and
Will be adjourned after tomorrow until
December.
Mr.. Richardson's testimony was
largely devoted to a review of his pre-
vious testimony concerning the agree
ment between himself and Duke to
keep secret the control of the 'inde-
pendent" Richardson concern by the
trust
"My understanding was that the
agreement was to be kept secret for
ever. if the stockholders of the Rich
ardson company SO elected" said Mr.
Richardson.
How about the union label?" asked
Richard V. Lindabury. of counsel for
the American Tobacco Company
''Were you to continue its use it be
ing unknown to the union and the
general public that you were controlled
by the American Tobacco Company
instead of competitor"
Yes, we We're to use it as long as we
chose TO, The American Tobacco Com
pany left that matter to us entirely"
Did you ever tell anyone that you
were controlled by the American To-
bacco Company"
No, sir; I never violated the secrecy
imposed upon me-"
absolutely certain?"
Eyes; no one knew of it before the
commencement Of this suit"
Mr.. Lindabury then made the wit
ness recall conversation with S. q.
Penn. an acquaintance of Richardson.
in which the latter had been told of
the arrangement.
You understood that the manage
ment was to remain forever in the
hands of the Richardson's"
Promise of Control
"Yes, Nj Duke and Mr.. Hill prom
ised me that we should have control
Of the concern and direct its policy
yet YOU asked Mr.. Hin what direct
ors he wanted you to elect in 1904, didn't
you?'
Yes, I did so as a matter of cour-
tesy. not because | intended to abide
by his decision. I gave orders to our
East Orange director, II. IL. Picking,
to reelect the old board before l heard
from Mr.. HILL"
Mr.. Richardson admitted that he had
resented the interference Of the trust
In his campaign to sell his tobacco in
Memphis. A letter from Percival s.
Hill. president of the trust, in
structing Richardson to discontinue
his activity in Memphis was read The
reason given in the letter was that the
trust brand, Bull Durham" was prac-
tcally without competition there, and
the trust did not want Richardson's
brand thrown on the market.
