CHICAGO, H., Feb. 16.-Examiner
Maheffey today began the final hear
ing of the evidence of the government
in its suit to dissolve the Dupont

The previous hearings have been held

The governments star witness is w.
d. Waddell, president of the Buckeye
Powder Company of Peoria, III. Wad-
dell on direct testimony, disclosed
evidence to the effect the country was
in the grasp of the powder trust He
tended to show by agreement with

CIGARETTE
Missouri Legislators Will Prevent
Boys From Carrying the
Makjnus

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Feb. 16.-
Nearly half dozen bills have been
introduced in the house of represen-
tatives, the passage of at least two of
which will doom the cigarette in Mis-
souri,. Two of the bills are particu-
larly sweeping in their provisions.
They were offered by G. p Hawkins,
Of Dunklin county, and Pross T.
Cross of Clinton. Mr.. Cross is the
Democratic floor leader in the house.
Mr.. Hawkins bill prevents even the
carrying of cigarets by individuals,
though it is principally aimed to pre-
vent their sale or manufacture in the
state.
Not only is any firm or corporation
prohibited from manufacturing OF
selling cigarets by the Hawkins bill.
but tle giving away or having them
about the premises will incur severe
penalties. Even any component part
of the cigarette is barred by the Hawk
ins measure, provision directed to
wipe out "the makings," term fa-
miiar to every cigaret smoker.
Under the provisions of Mr. Cross
bill, every circuit judge in the state,
when impanneling and instructing a
grand jury shall specifically instruct
the jurors regarding the act and de-
mand it's strict enforcement

LONDON, Feb. 16.-The King
opened parliament today In a speech
from the throne, sketching the recent
Anglo-American treaties he expressed
the hope the agreement were final in
the amicable settlement of matters, in.
cluding the international waterways
and Newfoundland fisheries. He per-
functorily voiced pleasure over the Wis.
II to the Kaiser. He was confident tha
Kaiser's cordiality would strengthen
the AngloAmerican friendship. which
is essential to the mutual welfare OF
both countries and the preservation OF
peace"
He declared that representative gov
ernment in Persia was imperative and
while England was unwilling to inter-
vene it had joined Russia in arranging
a program: looking to the Improvement
| OF Turkey. He dwelt upon the neces-
sity of increasing the revenues, owing
to the urgency in Strengthening the
navy and providing for the old age
pension. The settlement of financial
difficulties would probably leave little
time for consideration of other needed
! Legislation. He promised bill dis
establishing the Episcopalian church
as the church of state in Wales where
tthe majority was not Episcopalians.
Establishing public labor exchange
throughout the country to lessen the
unemployed and create state insur-
ance against sickness and unemploy-
ment; abolishing sweatshops, author
1 izing the indefinite placing in asylums
of inebriates, fixing the maximum
hours of factory lagor was promised.
The large crowd commented upon the
Kings paleness, and languid manner.
Unusually disregardful of applause and
enthusiasm he spoke with great effort
and the hoarseness was evidently pain
! full
