The jury in the case of Ella Gin

Case. ployer, Of stealing lace,
came to decision
which indicates that somebody
lied" Declaring Miss Gingles
innocent of the charge of steal
ing, it likewise declared Miss
Barette guiltless of the charges
brought against her, which were of
exceedingly grave character, en-
bracing almost inconceivable bru-
talities practised on the young Gin
giles girl to force her into the life of
a white slave'' The latter con-
sistently contended that the charge
of stealing the pieces of lace was
trumped up for the purpose of effec-
tually preventing her revelation of
white slave iniquities. What is the
real truth in this case will never be
that the graft investigation started
by the State attorney, John E. w.
Wayman, has already uncovered
horrible condition of affairs in Chi
cago, showing that certain members
Of the police force have grown rich
by collision with just such horrors
as the Irish lacemaker sought to de-
pict. The revelations to follow on
the heels of the first information
given out will probably appall the
average American citizen, to whom
such a thing as the white slave traffic
seems remote or absurd. The shake
up expected in Chicago will prob
ably make that of Pittsburg seem
mild and gentle.

Summary ofEvemts

Martial law, and the suspension of
all constitutional guarantees, was de-
clared in Spain by King
Deep Alfonzo, whose realm is
Water for seething in revolt, and
Alfonso. whose troops in Morocco
are being sacrificed to
senseless war. Governmental blum
ders may suffice to overthrow the
throne itself.
The disruption of Church and State
is also a probable outcome. Spain
has long suffered under priest-rule
and is eager to rid itself of the bur-
den.
The cry of Down with Diaz'' has
been heard very ominously in Next
co during the past week.
Riot or Diaz is again a candidate
Revolution for the Presidency, which
in Mexico. he has had a strangle-
hold on for nearly
quarter of a century. At Guadala-
lara, the second largest city in Mexi-
co, has occurred the worst rioting
known in years. An increasingly
strong political party, calling itself
democratic, opposes the reelection
of Diaz and is running as it's candi-
date Gen. BarnadO Reyes, formerly
minister of war in Diaz's cabinet and
now governor Of Neuve Leon. Dur
ing the disturbances some American
property is said to have been Destroy
ed and couple of Americans wound
ed, while many MeXicans have been
hurt. The mutterings Of discomfort,
some weeks ago, were sought to be
Quieted by the Diaz faction when the
President promised fair and square
election; but unless all reports be
grossly untrue, fair dealing is thing
practically unknown and Impractical
in Mexico. Porfirio Diaz has been
one of the strongest, shrewdest, suav-
est politicians who ever acted upon
national stage; he has always been
careful to keep his neighbor on the
north perfectly satisfied by protect
ing American capital and citizens
With his own people, he has been a
despot who hesitated to employ no
method to crush revolt, He is an old
man and instead of allowing the
Mexican people to choose his sue
cessor, he is attempting to make the
selection himself by having reelected
with him vice-president upon whom
his mantle would fall. From the riot
ing to an actual revolution would be
very short step at the present mo-
ment, particularly should anything
happen to DiaZ.

REPORTTODAY
ON TOBACCO
COMBINE
LBy Associated Press. !

Washington, d. c., Feb. 19.-In a
report transmitted to President
Roosevelt today Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner of corporations, pre-
sents some highly interesting history
of the organization of the Tobacco
Combination, which, in the magni-
tude of its business operations, is
one of the greatest organizations in
America. The report is a result, in
part, of an extensive investigation
into the tobacco industry made by the
Bureau of Corporations. Subsequent
reports will deal with the control of
the tobacco industry, with prices and
profits, and with competitive meth
DDS.
Today's report sets forth the rise
of the great combinations of the
country. In his letter of transmittal,
Commissioner Smith says that it
deals with the history, from the
standpoint of its organization, of the
great tobacco combination. Starting
in 1898 as the American Tobacco
company, a manufacturer of Gig
arettes, with capital of s25, 100000
the combination has now net cap
italization Excluding inter-company
holdings) of $316,346, 6,S21. 1t has
absorbed about $50 separate con-
Germs; and now controls substantial
Iy four-fifths of the output of each
important kind of tobacco manufac-
tured in the United States, with the
exception of cigars
Its history also presents import
ant features of stock manipulation.
The financial transactions centering
around the organization of the Con-
solidated Tobacco company in 1901
are especially noteworthy. At that
time a small body of directors and
stockholders in the combination be-
lieved that the profits of the combin-
alton could be greatly increased in
the immediate future. They organ
lied the Consolidated Tobacco COM
pany and offered its bonds in eX-
change for the common stock of the
American and the Continental, in
order thus. to secure for themselves
most of the increased profits about
to accrue. The profits accruing to
the common stock of the American
and the Continental; after its acqui-
sition by the Consolidated, increased
greatly: and the small body of men
controlling the last named company
so small in fact. that six of them
held a majority of its stock and thus
controlled the entire com bination-
became entitled to millions of dollars
which, had it not been for the Con
solidated transaction, would have
gone to the original common-stock
holders.

Gently returned to the city from DEN
yer, and is not yet fully recovered
from the effects of the accident.
That the suit filed by Mrs. Ong
will be the cause of bitter legal
battle there can be no doubt and the
case will attract widespread atten-
ton owing to the prominence of the
family and the amount of property
involved in the demands for alimony.
In the papers of the suit it is de
clared that Judge Ong has property
amounting in value to about $780,
600.
Besides the Bonita valley lands
Judge Ong owns the fertile and beau
tifuily situated tract known as the

The sundry civil bill, as reported

an appropriation of 137 million dol
lars. or 26 million dollars less than
the estimate.
The committee incorporated the
same limitation of the use of the Sc
cret service as was included in the
bill of last winter which drew forth
the severe criticism of the president.
