Judge Taft Is Again Comfortably Lo-
Gated at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs. Va, Nov. 7.-President-
elect and Mrs. William H. Taft arriv-
ed here at 1920 o'clock this morning.
Several hundred guests from the hotels
were at the station and gave them a
rousing welcome.
Some of those who voiced their well
come had made the acquaintance of
Mr.. Taft when he was here last sum-
mer and for all of them he had a
hearty handshake. Il am mighty glad
to get back into these Virginia noun
tains," said he 1--WE had a pretty
strenuous time since 1 left but now I'm
going to take some rest and enjoy my
self"
Mr. and Mrs. Taft were driven at
once to the Ruth Harrison cottage,
which they will occupy during their
stay here. 1t is good sized two story
cottage with a veranda running most
of the way around it. 1t is located in
the woods back on the mountainside
and there Mr.. Taft will be completely
free of the social life in the hotels.
His executive offices will be on the Sec
ond floor of the cottage. There they
will be in charge of Fred w. Carpen-
ter, his private secretary. Letters of
congratulation are still pouring in on
Mr. Taft. While Mr.. Taft was at
breakfast on the train en- route from
Cincinnati four Missourians sent him
a note congratulating him on the way
their state had gone. M. Taft inter-

IT IS A TRUST.
Government Wins a Decision Against
American Tobacco Company.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE govern
ment's contention that the American
Tobacco company is. a trust, operating
in restraint of trade and in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law, was
sustained in decisions handed down by
Judges Lacomb erT0 Cooke, 3Noyers and
Ward in the United States court here
today. Judge Ward dissented
The governments complaint against
the tobacco company included the
names of large number of subsidiary
these are included in the decision
handed down by the judges of the
United States court today. The suit
has been in progress for many months
and great volumes of testimony were
taken by the government and on be-
half of the defendant companies.
In the course of these examinations
1t developed that the American To-
bacco company and its subsidiaries
practically controlled the tobacco
trade of the world.
Under an agreement made in 1892
the vast export business of the Ameri-
can Tobacco company is conducted by
the British-American Tobacco COM
pany limited. This latter corporation
has a capital stock of s3O,o0O,0OO,
two-thirds of which is owned by the
American Tobacco company. The
American Tobacco company. itself is
capitalized at $4,000. 600. Its pres
ident is James B. Duke, but Thomas
f. Ryan. the banker and capitalist
has been regarded as the dominant
force in the great corporation.
Since January 1905, regular quar-
terly dividends at the rate of per
cent a year have been paid on the
preferred stock. The first dividend on
common stock was u per cent, paid
on March 1, 1905. Since that time
dividends in the same amount hova
been paid quarterly and in addition a
10 per cent extra dividend was paid
in December, 1905, five per cent extra
in September 1906; ~ per cent extra
in December, 1906; 5 per cent extra
September, 1907, and 21z per cent
extra in last December. Extra divi-
dends aggregating 1 5 per cent in the
common stock have been paid thus
far in the present year.

PADLOCKS ON JOINTS.
Attorney General jackson Helped
Place Al in Cherokee County.

Attorney General F. S. Jackson re-
turned today from Cherokee county
where, with John Marshall, he assisted
at the ceremony of placing padlocks on
A joints in Cherokee county. Most
of the joints which were padlocked
and taken into the possession of the
court were located in small mining
towns throughout the county. AT CO.
lumbus, where the hearing were held,
there are no joints. The paddock or
ders were issued by Judge Corb Nc
Neil.
Injunctions were issued against
these joints some time ago. on COM
plant of County Attorney Morgan.
The jointkeepers failed to pay much
attention to the injunctions. and the
court now takes the more radical
means of destroying the joint business.
