Pests Worried by Pests.

Since the Dutch philosopher Leu
wenhoek discovered that the pupa of
the flea was sometimes preyed on by
the larvae of mite, it has been well
known that various small insects have
their external parasites. And a re-
cent communication to the Complies
Rendus of the Biological society of
Paris by NJ. Bruyant. shows that many
mosquitoes carry about mites in the
larval stage. Those described belong
to four different genera. They prob
ably feed on the integumentary
structures of the mosquitoes.

sham and his special assistant, J. C..
supreme court of the United States tho
case of the government in the st. Louis
tobacco trust cases, which Will be ar
gued next week in that court.
The cases were tried In the United
states circuit court for the Southern
district of New York. which in dis
missing the petition as to foreign to-
bacco companies, and some of the sub
ordinate American companies, adjudged
the others to be parties to an unlawful
conspiracy and enjoined them from con-
tlnulng their operations and from cu-
gaging In interstate commerce.
The attorney general takes the posi-
tion that the findings. sweeping as they
seem to have been. were not broad
enough, and he asks the supreme court
to extend them so as to widen their
scope 10 take in foreign companies and
some individuals relieved from the
operation of the verdict. Many other
extensions of the judgment are also
requested.
After showing that in 1890 competi-
tion was free, the various coalitions
are traced In the document, and facts
are given to show that the combination
has grown until its combined assets
amount to s40O,000,0 900.
1t Is asserted that the combination
manufactures all of the cigarettes for
export and almost -fourths of the
smoking tobacco and of cigarettes for
domestic sale, more than three e-fourths
of the plug. twist and fine-cut tobacco.
and almost all of the snuff and little
cigars that are made
HAS EXERCISED DURESs.
1t is declared that "the defendants
have persistcntly exercised duress. have
practised wicked and unfair method
and used their great power in opprcs-
sive ways"
Further, 1t is asserted that they have
been actuated by a fixed purpose to de-
stroy competition and to obtain mo-
nopolies. Competitors have gradually
disappeared. and the combination now
strongly eptrenched, unduly restricts
the business of those in the trade and
prevents others from entering" IL is
declared.
Putting aside. for the time, the effect
of the Sherman antitrust law, under
which the suit was brought II is con-
tended that the combina ton under the
name OF the American Tobacco COM
pany was Illegal when IL was entered
into In 1880. because II was contrary 10

the general proposition that "the right
freely to buy. sell and transfer prop
erty Is not fundamental civil right to
be exercised without limitation as in
terested parties may determine" and
he adds the assertion that "it is sub
ordinate TO public policy and the law
fully expressed will of Congress.
Coming to specific instances relative
to operations of the trust. 1t Is declared
that substantially all established job
bers in New England were induced 20
throw out independent products, as
were those of Philadelphia. New York
and many other specified places.
1t is asserted that Independent job
bling in New York was destroyed by the
organization of the Metropolitan To-
bacco company. which was given IN
exclusive agency for the sale of trust
goods.
BUSHWHACKING METHODS.
1t is also asserted that bushwhack!ng
methods were resorted to in the use OF
union labels. and the method in this
proceeding Is denounced as ubiquitous"
and one such as is inhibited by a
civilized conscience"
Indeed. 1t is declared that "the record
contains much evidence and vast deaf
of correspondence concerning opera
lions OF tneSe DuSnWnacklnB companies.
which disclose amazing dcpravity and
show with clearnesS how these sinister
agencies were effectively utilized"
Advertising methods of the trust were
referred to as a means of influencing
both business and public sentiment.
and, 1t is said. that not less than &c.,
600. 900 were expended in this way in
1906.
The attorney-g general interprets the
complaint rs not merely directed to the
acquisition and ownership OF stocks Or
other property. but as against the COM
panies' operations in commerce.
Competition has been persistently
destroyed. scores Of contracts have ie-
tired skilled men from the trade, many
have been forced out. and the necessary
result of the plan long followed has
been to give defendants power to ex-
clude others and exercise monopoly"
II Is declared.
He seems inclined to the view that n
receiver should be appointed for the
business of parties to the combination.
and he adds:
1.-The very existence of certain de-
PENDANTS is criminal. and certainly they
cannot rightfully complain because re-
from carrying out the un-
lawful purpose of their creation; they
are wlfully in positions where every
act is q transgresSon."
