CAPITAL TOLAUNCH
GIGANTIC OCTOP| ?
GREATEST COMBINATIONS THAT
WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN BE-
ING PLANNED IN WALL ST. IF
GOVERNMENT LOSES
BY Ralph Smith

WASHINGTON, May S-Two or three
of the largest combinations of capital the
United States has ever known or have
been known I'm history will be launched
if the government loses its case against
the tobacco trust. IT is learned that these
combinations have been practically COM
pleted in Wall street and that they will
be launched Immediately upon a decision
from the supreme court that the govern
ment has lost its case against the Amer
lean Tobacco company, alias. the "tobac-
co trust"
The case of the government against the
tobacco trust involves the most advanced
principles OF the Sherman antitrust law,
IL has yet been sought TO apply. If the
government should lose, the case against
the Standard Oil and other trusts would
fall and capital would be at liberty to
combine almost without restraint.
one of the combinations 1t is planned ia
launch in case of the defeat OF the gov
eminent in the tobacco trust prosecution
is a giant holding company which VIII
take over all the Hartman lines, niclud-
ing the Erie the New York Central sys-
tenn, all the Vanderbilt lines, the Chicago
and Northwestern, Illinois Central, Louis
VILE and Nashville and possibly the Great
Northern since ]. j. Hill and Hartman
are said to have made peace.
The tobacco trust case will be argued In
the supreme court In October. A decision
is expected by the first of the year.
Fx-Assistant Attorney General NC
REYNOLDS, of Tennessee, is counsel for tne
government. He won his case in the
limited states court for the southern dis
trict of New York The suit is to compe
dissolution of the trust.

been agitated for a number of years
Evidence for and against the proposed
revision of rates was concluded Thurs

Steel company. AS soon as the official

ceedinEs the commission will ask for ar

The complexities of the rate from the
railroads view, the opinion of these lines
that the reduction would menace and de-
stroy the net income and the statement
Of the Atlanta Steel company that the
reductions would result in disastrous loss
es, were the developments at Thursday
afternoons session.
During his examination President T. K.
Glenn, OF the Atlanta Steel company,
stated that the proposed revision would
seriously damage his company and cause
II to operate at distinct loss. President
Glenn said that the Atlanta Steel Hoop
companys prices are maze Oh Plttspurg

admitted that this was a protective tar

burg rate was not tax on Atlanta con-
sumers as they would have to pay the
same price elsewhere.

Central of Georgia. testified that there
was no illegal combination between water

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT.
HOW TO ESTABLISH A BERMUDA SOD

should examine the seed very carefully
before planting or he Is likely 10 be dis
appointed Then. the seed requires any
where from 90 to 50 days to terminate
under favorable conditions, and the weeds
must be cut down once or twice In the
meantime. and kept in check until the
young grass can make a start. The sod
can also be planted earlier with safety
than the seed, for the young plants are
delicate and tender and the late frosts
are liable to destroy them. Seeding can
probably not be done with safety In this
section before the first OF April. or pos
sibly the tenth OF May. In favorable sea-
sons It might be done in late March, but
the young plants are very likely TO be
KILLED for the reasons already given.
From the writer's experience and from
what he has learned from other sources,
/ Il IL generally deemed more satisfactory
to use sod than the seed at the present
time Doubtless the time will come when
Bermuda will be more frequently estab-
lished from direct seeding, but as this
point Is in need Of investigation, IL is
probably better 20 follow the older and
surer method until more is learned about
the other, Persons who find II difhcult

so as 20 cut the sod as much as possible.
and do not forget to cross disk the land.
It is probable that II this treatment is In
dulged in every season, II will prolong
the life Of the sod and increase its vital
ity and the amount OF pasture furnished.
Many persons believe that once the sod
! is established they have done all that Is
necessary. but this is a mistake, as the
practice OF the most successful growers
shows.
The writer has here set forth some of
the reasons why Bermuda grass should
be utilized more largely in the south. 1t Is
in deed and truth the blue grass OF a
great section Of the country where the
latter will not grow. and instead Of
fighting the plant with so many virtues
and one that can be OF such immense
practical and financial worth to him, the
southern farmer ought to take kindly to
Bermuda grass and give IL that place in
his farming operations which nature and
destiny seem 20 warrant its taking in the
near future in the new. progressive and

FLEECED WOMEN
OUT OF 100000

WASHINGTON, May S-There were
sensational developments today In the
case of John c. Davis, member or the
local bar, who was arrested last night
on the charge of having obtained money
under false pretenses.
The amount which Davis is alleged to
have misappropriated in transactions
with his clients, mostly women was
thought at first to have been small. but
today notes aggregating $4,000, said TO
have been given by Davis, were eXhioiteu
to United States District Attorney Ba-
ker, and it is rumored that the amount
finally may reach 100000.
Martin c. Davis. a brother of john
and secretary of a local building and
loan association was arrested today on
a charge of conspiracy. The largest
amount said to have been secured from
any one person by John C. Davis was
SIS. 600 advanced by a woman client who
received five or six notes therefor; the
next largest amount being $4,000. When
a search was made today of the safe in
Davis elegant suite of offices nothing
was found but few deeds.
p John c. Davis was arrested on COM
nlaint made by Miss Nettie McKeen, OF
cincinnati. who declared that she lost
81 500. Davis said today that he had been
in the state hospital for the insane at
Raleigh n. c., between SIX ana seven
wears and that he had been in private
sanitarium in this city. but that his mind
was las bright as dollar
while l was in North Carolina ! gave
more than $4,000 to the erection Of
churches" he said.
District Attorney Baker fixed bail for
John c. Davis at $4,000 and for his broth
err at $4,000
