AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP

Washington, Dec 12-The extension of American citizenship to Porto Ricans who desire 1t. without forcing it on those who do not, is recom- mended by General Clarence R. Ed wards. chief of the bureau of insular affairs in his annual report. made pub lie today.
 It says the recent tariff legislation for the benefit of the Philippines has so far resulted in an increase of the price paid to the grower for leaf to- bacco from ten to forty-five per cent.

ZElAYA WOULD PROVOKE IN
 PREVENTION.

Panama. Dec 12.-It is the opinion here that Zelaya has deliberately plan ned to bring about intervention by. the United States. preferring this form of humiliation to defeat at the hands of the revolutionists.
 Fop sixteen years a group of eight men have ruled Nicaragua, growing enormously rich. Zelaya. one of these, is estimated to be worth $20.000. 900. His money is invested in London and Brussels.
 The cause of the persent revolution is said to be the refusal of Zelaya to divide the spells recently to the amount of s5,000, ,000 with others
 The statement given out by Zelaya that the two Americans executed by his orders had been employed by the revolutionists to mine the San Juan river is not believed here.

 Zelaya declared recently that he was negotiating with the revolutionists to obtain their consent to appoint a sue cessor. to the presidency who would be acceptable to all concerned. and sub mitted the name of Dr. Jose Madriz. judge of the Cartago court. It is be- lieved that Dr. Madriz would be ob- jectionable to the revolutionists.

| M0MENT0us DECISION
Which Will Dispose of the Entire Trust Question and Will Leave No Doubt As to What Will Be Done to the Standard


 Washington, Dec. 12.-There is a feeling in the department of justice that the case of the United States vs. the American Tobacco company and others, set for hearing before the
 United States supreme court tomor- row will have more far reaching eff fects than any trust prosecution ever before appealed to the highest tribu- nal of the land.
 It is argued that the recent decis- ion against the Standard Oil com pany is one of the most potent sup ports the government has in the case against the tobacco trust It estab- fishes the principle the government has been fighting for in all the trust proceedings, that a combination which exists by the means of a corporation owning the stock of others is con trary to the Sherman law and that such stock ownership may be a de- vice that constsShtes stock agree ment in restraint Of trade
 The case against the tobacco trust was instituted by the government to obtain the dissolution of tie alleged monopoly which practically controls the manufacture and distribution of tobacco and all it's products in this country. The hearing in the supreme court was originally set for October 13. but it was postponed because the attorney general had not had time to make a thorough preparation. such as he considered the importance of the case required.
 The prosecution of the tobacco trust is practically akin to that of the Standard Oil company. which the cir cult court in united opinion on the part of the presiding judges declared was operating in violation of the Sher- man antitrust law. Thus it will be seen that the tobacco case is the first of the big trust causes to reach the highest court in the land.
 Upon the decision of the suit against the tobacco trust will largely depend the future course of the government as to it's ust-breaking program. A decision in the tobacco case will mean more to the government or the cor porations. than the disposition of the Standard oil case, owing to the inti- mate business relations it maintains with the retail business of >the coun- try. $ Again the tobacco case affords the supreme court of the United States its first opportunity to pass upon the whole trust question.
