ALL AMERICANS TRUST KINGS. >

A New York merchant, writing from
Europe SAYS: +" All over the Old World,
but especially in Germany and France,
TRUST spells American. and man
from our part of the globe needs but to
have money enough to ride first class
and smoke a good cigar to be trust
konig' in Germany. But I think that
the suit brought by the heirs of Doni-
zetti against the Society of Dramatic
Authors and Composers shows that
crowd to be the king among trusts.
The great composer died in 1S4S. years
before his Lucia, Linda. Don Pas
quale, 'Favorita, and Daughter of
the Regiment had become financial
successes. The society collected the
royalties and paid them over in part
to the heirs until 1865, and since then
has paid the heirs nothing. The society
has the right, it says, to collect royal
ties on all dramatic and musical works,
and it does collect to this day on the
productions of Sophocles, Shakespeare,
Racine. MOliere and hundreds of other
writers who probably had no idea that
they would become contributors to the
great literary and musical trust of
France

CITIES ARE LIABLE
illinois Supreme Court Approves Ver.
dict Giving damages for
Mob Violence.
TEST CASE FROM CHICAGO
Particularly Interesting at This Time
Because Many Suits Are Pending
Against Springfield.

Springfield, H., Dec. 16.-That cities
are liable for damages in the case of
destruction of property by mobs was
the vital point involved in a decision
of the Illinois supreme court yester-
day, affirming the judgment of $1,000
in favor of Frank Surges against the
city of Chicago. Sturges' plate glass
window was broken by mob July Is,
1903. In the case, which was appealed
from the criminal court of Cook coun-
ty, the constitutionality of the legisla-
tive act, which ''indemnifies the own
ers of property for damages occasioned
by mobs and riots" was attacked.
Springfield Apprehensive.
AS damage suits against the city of
Springfield for approximately 100000,
for the destruction of property, have
grown out of the recent riots in this
city, yesterdays decision will be cited
as proving the city's liability.

Beware of Frequent Colds.

A succession of colds or protracted
cold is almost certain to end in
chronic catarrh, from which few per-
sons ever wholly recover. Give every
cold the attention it deserves and you
nay avoid this disagreeable disease.
How can you cure cold? Wh.: not
try Chamberlain's Cough Remedy? 1t
is highly recommended Mrs. M.
White, of Butler, Tenn, says: "Sev-
eral years ago was bothered with my
throat and lungs. Someone told me
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I
began using it and it relieved me at
once Now my throat and lungs are
sound and well" For sale by al, drug

terest so that the two Towndrows and
Gould made up the personnel of the
Straw Products company, and the bur-
den of the land company's and the
products company's obligations rested
alone on Gould.
The Illinois Straw Products COM
pany was never a paying institution;
never from the time Mr.. Gould and
his associates commenced operating it
did it pay one cent of dividends on
the stock, but on the contrary, bonds
were constantly issued and the CAPT
tai stock increased for the purpose of
securing money to operate it.
Now by this time, the earlier part of
the year 1907, the then stockholders of
the Illinois Straw Products company
increased the capital stock by $780,
600, making it a preferred stock, and
this stock was issued by the corpora
ton directly to Frank w. Gould, per-
sonally, and not in any representative
capacity, or as trustee of the Reyes
estate; Mr. Gould then cancelled the
various notes which, he held against
the Illinois Straw Products company
and which represented loans of money
made by him to this company, from
the funds, of the Keyes estate. TO the
amount of $4,000 and then traded his
stock for the Chicago leasehold prop
erty, secured in No. 80, schedule G. and
10000 acres of land in Tennessee, Sc
curities No. IA. schedule 1, and No. %
schedule 5, respectively.
The Chicago LeasehOld.
| The investment in the Chicago lease
hold property represented originally
| $4,000, but an additional $4,000 was
required to clear off some of the liabil
tiles and membranes, which sun
was also paid from the Reyes estate
increasing the total Indebtedness tt
this fund of 100000. One Charles r
white, with whom this trade wa:
Imade and who was the party will
whom Mr.. Gould, through B. R. Town
ldrow, was dealing, conveyed the lease
hold property in Chicago to one Car
H. Jenkins, who is in some way con
Injected with the Chicago Title & Trus
company, but Jenkins became a mer'
nominal grantee; in fact, he was uset
simply as transferee between Whit,
! and Gould, Mr.. Gould not wishing t.
take the title in his own name; tn
mortgage or trust deed of 100000 OF
the leasehold property was taken t
the Chicago Title & Trust compan,
of Chicago, H., the notes were mad
payable to the maker and by him er
dorsed, and these were turned over t
Mr.. Gould.
