TOBACCO KINGS
METHODS SCORED
IN SMITH REPORT
Commissioner of Corporations
Shows Up Six ManipulatOrs
of Combine.
SMALL MEN CROWDED
OUT OF CORPORATION
Stock of American Company So
Manipulated That Half-dOzen
Men Got Control.

wASHINGTON. Feb. IA "History
Of the Tobacco Combination" Was
transmitted to the President yesterday
by Herbert Knox Smith. commissions
of corporations, in the form of the first
OF a series of reports on the tobacco in
dustry.
From the start of the combination, in
1890, when the cigarette business was
first monopolized. down to the present
time, Commissioner Smith r~ecounts the
process of formation of this gigantic
combine, now known as the American
Tobacco Company.
Its history presents important feat
ures of stock manipulation says Mr..
Smith, in leading up to disclosures of
the methods of a dominating group of
financiers.
THE financial transactions centreing
around the organization of the Consoli-
dated Tobacco Company. in 1901, are
especially noteworthy. At that time a
small body of directors and %stockhold-
ers in the combination believed that
the profits of the combination could be
greatly increased in the immediate
future.
They organized the Consolidated To-
bacco Company. and offered its bonds
in exchange 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
81 all &c A.
after its acquisition by the Consoli-
dated, increased greatly, and the small
body of men controlling the last-named
c~ompany-so small, in fact. that six OF
them held a majority of it's stock, and
thus controlled the entire combination
became entitled to millions of dollars
which, had 1t not been for the Consoli-
dated transaction, would have gone to
the original common-stock holders.
Immediately after the organization
of the Consolidated more than half of
its shares were held by six men-James
B. Duke, A. n. Brady, o. H. Payne.
Thomas r. Ryan. P. A. B. widener and
William c. Whitney. Through the
ownership of the stocks of the Ameri-
al and Continental by the Consoli-
dated, these six men were, moreover,
In position to dominate the entire COM
bination. The am six me had just
previously owned only a minority of
the stocks of the American and appar-
emily very little of the Continental,
though they had been very powerful in
the management of both.
Most of these men. it will be OBJ
served. were the financiers who had
entered the combination in 1898 and
1899. They and a few associates had
supplied the greater part of the new
capital now made available for the
expansion policy; but they did so only
because 1t was evident that. through
the organization of the Consolidated.
they might enormously increase their
power and their share in the prospee-
tive profits of the business"

MAGNETIC POLE

SHIP OF BRONZE
Carnegie institute Has Unique
Craft Constructed for
Purpose.
ONLY 900 POUNDS OF
IRON IN THE VESSEL
This SO None of Delicate Instru-
ments Will Be DETECTED from

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s-The keel has
already been laid at the yards of the
Tebo Yacht Basin Company in Brook
Ign of the auxiliary steamer Carnegie,
which the Carnegie Institute is fitting
out to investigate the magnetic phe-
nomena of the earth. The ship has
been specially designed so as to con
tain less than 600 pounds of steel or
iron, which would tend to defect her
compasses and interfere with the ac-
curacy of her magnetic instruments.
What is not built of wood will be made
of Victor vanadium bronze
The particular problems for which
the Carnegie is to be used are con-
nected with the variations of the com,
pass. off the coast of Oregon and
Washington the variations amount to
as much as 20 or % degrees. over a
line drawn through tho eastern part of
Lakes Superior and Michigan. passing
half way between Cincinnati and Co
lumbus, ands then through Kentucky
and Tennessee TO the Atlantic seaboard
near Beaufort, S. c., the variation dis
appears again. The magnetic north
pole itself is supposed by scientists TO
waver, II it Is held to be of the
greatest Importance to mariners to as
certain the laws which govern these
reflections of the needle from the

The first use to which the Carnegie
is likely to be put is to study the mag
netic disturbances of the North At
lantic and Hudson Bay. An attempt is
also under consideration to send an ex-
petition in search of the magnetic
north pole itself and TO a k observa-
tons there to determine whether scfen-
lists are justified in their suspicious
that it is not a fixed point, but has a
regular movement.

OPINIONS ON JEFFRIEs.
One Says He's Windbroken-Boston
 Doctcr Thinks Hisn. Fit.

Jeffries shows signs of being wind- broken after two or three one- minute rounds of light sparring with Berger, says teh New York Sun. This work is far different from rounds of three min- utes each at top speed, at the same time giving and taking heavy blows, Jeffries and Johnson are matched to go ''forty-five rounds or more.' If the bout should end with the forty-fifth round the men would be in the ring ex- actly three hours, of which two hours and fifteen minutes would be consumed by actual fighting. Jeffries, never an aggressive pugilist, must contend with the greatest defense boxer in the world, which Is taken to mean that the mill may be a long drawn out test of en- durance. For that season Jeffries, it is believed will have to be absolutely fit as to stamina, which involves lung power. if he exDects to beat this for midable colored man.
 Opposed to the foregoing is the fol- lowing from the Boston Globe:
 One of the best known physicians in Boston, who was at the show, said aft CT seeing Jeffries do his abdominal ex- ercise, that anyone who could go through that exercise and show no ef- fects from it was able to box for a Kingdom.
 Another physician stated that Jeff fries is now just right to go through a hard siege of training. Some of the old time sports, however, could see nothing but defeat for Jeffries when he meets Johnson.

The lRorwicn association rootball team closed its season Saturday with a game at Sachem park in the after noon, when it defeated the Jewett City soccer eleven, to 1, irr one-sided contest. The superiority of the home team was evident in the first half, when Jewett City was completely out classed and could not once find the Norwich net, while Captain Hilton's men were driving in four.
 In the second half, when the teams were faced around, the visitors made some desperate attempts to score. Nor Wich had an easy lead and played merely to hold it. making the game slow in the last half. Brennan suc- ceeded in beating the Norwich goal keeper at close quarters, but the point was more in the nature of a. gift than anything else. The close of the two 35-minute halves left the score Nor wich 4, Jewett City 1. MT. Walker was referee and F. Pierson the Nor wich linesman.

Mrs, Margaret Lamphere's Funeral Ever Ready Circle at Hospital Kitchen Shower.

The funeral of Mrs. Margaret Lam phere was held at the Sheltering Arms on Saturday morning at 10.30 o'clock. Rev. P. c. Wright conducted the serv- ice.
 After comforting words of Scripture and prayer, he spoke from the text. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard. neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath pre- pared for them that love Him." We do not understand this life even with all our experience of it: it is there fore not strange that we fail to com prehend the after life. Christ makes preparation for those who love Him. We go from the earth where we can not understand to the place where we shall find the robe prepared.
 Among the floral tributes was a wreath of galaxia leaves. with pink geraniums, calla lilies. and chrysan- themums. Burial was in the Preston City cemetery, where Rev. N. B. Prin- dle of Preston City read the committal service. Undertaken Allen was in charge of the arrangements.

CORNELL CREWS.
lthaean CoIlegians Have Been Far
 Superior on the Hudson.

A survey of the records of the four teen regattas that have been held at Poughkeepsie by the minor college rowing association since its inception in 1895 and the single regatta at Sar- atoga in 1898, shows that Cornelrs varsity eights have been far superior to the crews of her competitors. Cor nell also leads in freshmen eights, but in the varsity fours the decision must be awarded to Syracuse; but only be- cause CornelPs four was compelled to abandon the race in 1908 after it had been won to all intents and purposes. This mishap loses for Cornell the ra- blelnIshed title of queen of the river, ore which the Ithacans undoubtedly deserve in view of their remarkable performances.
 Fifteen times Cornell varsity eight cared crews have started in contests for supremacy. and nina times the red and white has been victorious at the finish. Thrice Cornell has been second and thrice third. This record is one that Cornell may well boast of. The average position of Cornelrs crews in these 15 races has been 1.60, only a fraction worse than first. Pennsylva- mia has three victories to her credit, but for all that the percentage is ex- actly the same as Columbia's first one While Syracuse, with two hrst places, Is further down the list.
 The positions that the various eol- 1eges had in the Is regattas were as follows:
 F'irst-Cornell g, Pennsylvania 5, Syracuse 2, Columbia 1.
 Second-Columbia 5, Cornell 3, Wis consin 8, Pennsylvania 2, Syracuse 1. Harvard 1.
 Third-Cornell 2. Pennsylvania 8, Wisconsin 8, Columbia 2, Syracuse 2, Georgetown l, Annapolis 1.
