 The dismissal in the case of the Cigar Stores company was due to a failure on the part of the circuit court to find that there had beer any exercise of control over it by the trust restricting the freedom oi trade, and in the cause of the two foreign corporations 10 the circum- stance that the contract for the dis tribution of foreign business was made in England.
 Disregarding the plea of the gov ernment on the point of monopoly the circuit court adjudged the Amer ican Tobacco company and many of the subordinate general companies to be parties to an unlawful combina- . tion: to be each in itself an unlaw- full combination, and each to be a holder of shares in other companies.

TRUST CASES
 REASS|GNED | Will Be Months Before Decision Is Reached DEATH OF JUSTICE BREWER One of Causes That Made a Rehearing Necessary. Speculation Regarding Effect of Decision On the  Chances of Three Men
DEATH Of JUSTICE BREWER

Washington. April ll.-Unwiliing at this time To render decisions in the dissolution suits against the Standard Oil company and the so-called ..to- bacco trust" the supreme court sto- day ordered a reargument of the cases This postponed the final dis position of the application of the antitrust law to these corporations for weeks. and probably until after october. The present term ends June l.
 The immediate cause of the reas- signment of the cases is thought to have been the demise of Justice Brewer. Death left only seven jus tices actively at work. as Justice Moody had been ill all the term.
 IL is believed that the court will not advance the cases for reargument until President Taft has been given ample time to fill the vacancy ere ated by the death of Justice Brewer. If this vacancy is not filled before the senate adiourns for the summer. it is probable that the cases wili not be taken up again until after the Ist of December. when the senate meets again.
 When it was announced that a re- hearing of the Standard oil company and the American Tobacco company cases would be necessary, the consr clusion was drawn in many quarters that that decision practically elimi- mated Circuit Judges Vandeventer and Sanborn and Solicitor General Bow CTS from consideration as Justice Brewers successor. This is based on the fact that the two judges passed upon the cases to be reconsidered, and Bowers assisted in the prepara- ton of the governments case.
 Inquiries at the White House later showed that President Taft was talk ing the position that if a man was deemed fit for the supreme court bench the fact that he passed upon the pending cases in the lower court or assisted, should not bar his ap- pointment.
 Judge Swayze of the New Jersey supreme court. Judge Deemer of the Iowa supreme court and Judge Hook of the Kansas federal circuit court are among those with influential backing at the White House.

THE TOBACCO TRUST CASE.
A History of the Proceedinss in the
 Circuit Court.

Washington April 11.-Of the two cases reassigned today. that of the so- called tobacco trust case was the first To reach the supreme court and the decision in it had been awaited with greater interest than the determination of the Standard oil case It present ed all the phases of the latter and was besides more complex. raising addition al questions under the antitrust law.
 In so far as the decision below of the United States circuit court was against the tobacco men, it vas against them on the broad ground that there was combination which interfered with the competition in trade and all such com binations were declared to be pro- hibited by the Sherman law. The law was conceded to be drastic and lit- tie doubt was left that it did not meet the approval of that court.
 The governments proceeding was against the American Tobacco com pany and sixty-five allied concerns and their officers. all of whom were charged with forming and maintaining a trust The suit was based on allega- tions of violation of the sherman anti trust law and also of some of the pro- visions of the Wilson German tariff law The purpose of the government was to force the dissolution of the combination and the destruction of what was declared to be a monopoly of the tobacco business in restraint of commerce. not only in the United States, but throughout a large part of the tobacco using world
 Four judges sat in the hearing of the case in the trial court and while three of them ultimately found common ground for a verdict, they were so di- vided in their respective lines of req soning that each propounded an opin- ion of his own.
 In general terms the verdict was declaration of guilt for majority of the corporations on the ground that they constituted q combination cons trary to the law. and while an injunc- tion against these combinations was granted there was no pronouncement on the subject of monopoly. which the government had especially sought to obtain
 The bill as to the United Cigars Stores company, a domestic corpora ton, was dismissed, as were also the bills against the Imperial and British American companies, English corpora

Investigation To
CONCLUDE TONIGHT
THIS CITY WANTS
W.O. ". MONUMENT
Woodmen of the World viii Erect
Handsome Monument at Some
Point in State of Mississippi.

Both the local camps of the Wood
men of the World and a large num-
Der of private citizens are making an
effort to have the proposed monu-
ment to the memory of departed
Woodmen of the state erected in Hat
tiesburg, and every possible effort in
this direction will be made.
The order of the Woodmen of the
World provides that every member
is entitled to have erected over his
grave a monument to cost not less
than 500, and there have been %
members, of the order in Mississippi
who have not taken advantage of
this appropriation, which leaves a
fund of $4,000 to be disposed of in
some manner by the sovereign lodge.
1t has been decided that this money
will be used to erect a monument
to those departed members in some
city in Mississippi, and already the
two lodges of Hattiesburg have
mailed out notices asking the sup
port of other lodges of the state in
an effort to have the monument
erected in this city.
The board of supervisors have
agreed to permit the monument to be
erected in the court house yard. and
the general belief is that the sover.
eign lodge will consent to have the
monument erected here
