$30,000,000 in cash, which, however
was not so applied as to contribute
to the large earnings OF the Continen-
tai and American companies. This
cash probably would not have been
forthcoming had the organizers of the
company not had this opportunity to
assure to themselves the larger share
of the prospective profits of the en-
tire business.
THE conduct of this group of men
is a proper subject for criticism, how
ever, because they could foresee much
better than outside stockholders the
large profits about to accure. Tney
occupied a fiduciary relation to the
outside stockholders, and should have
shared with them equally the special
knowledge acquired by their posi-
tion."
The report discusses at length the
methods by which the Tobacco Com
bination has been developed, includ-
ing the Bogus independent concerns"
of the Combination. 1t points out clear
ly that "the leading purpose of the
men who have controlled it has been
to dominate the Tobacco Industry.
The report contains not only the de-
tails of the financial operations of the
combination in it's rise, but also many
interesting sidelights on the schemes
employed to make the Combination
paramount in the tobacco Industry.

FIRE DESTROYS THE
HOME OF MRS. JONES.

With a party of a score of young
people at its height within its walls,
the residence of Mrs. VIM. T. Jones,
at sos South Michigan, caught fire
last night at rine o'clock and being
outside the present water district,
was burned to the ground. The young
people and others who collected bus
led themselves and saved every mov-
able object, including a hot stove.
The loss is partly covered by insur-
ance.
The fire started in the barn at the
rear of the premises. This was well
ablaze before it was discovered and
the heat was so fierce nobody could
get to the well, which was close to
the barn. And it was the only we'll
in the immediate vicinity, several
neighbors depending on it for water.
The fire department laid 1900 feet
of hose from an open ditch, which was
the nearest water supply, but was
still 200 feet out of range of the
house. A few barrels of water and
wet blankets might have saved the
house, if they could have been secur-
ed at once, but before they could be
applied, the roof was on fire in doz-
en- places and everybody busted him
self in saving the furniture.
The property consisted of four lots
barn. The buildings were entirely con
sumed- except an adobe kitchen at
the rear of the house. The insurance
covers a loan of $500 by the Build
ing and Loan Association, and Mrs.
Jones will receive probably $500 out
of the insurance.
Mrs. Jones is well known in Ros-
well, being the widow OF the late w.
T. Jones, a carpenter. who died about
year ago, leaving her with eight
children, the youngest a baby. Her
three older children are Misses Leora,
Nell and Lucy Jones, all of whom are
well and popularly known as employ
ees in various business Offices here
A brother well known in Roswell is
Tom Jones, cashier of the Clovis Ma
tfonal Bank. The many friends Of the
family deeply regret the loss Of their
home.
The fire came at an fnopportune
time in as much as the new water
system passes in front of the Jones
place and few months later would
have been a protection for it. The
fire demonstrates the fact that a fire
department is of little use without
water and plenty OF hose.
