Trust for Several Years.
TO MOVE PROPERTY HERE

"Our plans are yet to be perfected.
and we are not quite ready to make
a statement" said Mr.. I. N Vaughan,
of the nrm of j. n. Vaughan s. Co..
leaf tobacco dealers, when asked
Thursday regarding the purchase Of
all the tangible property OF the Ware
Kraemer Tobacco Co.. or Norfolk, BY
the newly chartered fir NOR vaughan-
Ware Tobacco Co., of Richmond. for
$4,000.
Mr.. Vaughan is connected with the
newly chartered concern. The other
member of this firm was formerly the
senior member OF the Ware-Kraemer
Co. before 1t went into the hands of
a receiver some time ago.
Mr. Ware, 1t may be stated. viii
come to Richmond to live, and will
actively engage in the conduct of the
new concern here. The legal firm of
Leake e. Buford. of Richmond. is
counsel for the concern.
The Ware Kraemer Co. was cfga-
rette manufacturing company. and IL
is understood that this business will
be containued in Richmond.
For several years past the Norfolk
company has been engaged in war
with the American Tobacco Co..
claiming that the latter used unfair
methods In competition. As result
of this warfare. the American To-
bacco Co. better known as the tobac-
co trust, Is now defending a suit for
over a. million dollars instituted by
the Ware Kraemer Co. In one of the
North Carolina courts.
The fight between the trust and
the smaller concern reached q crisis
about the time of the jamestown Ex-
position, and was given considerable
publicity by the Hearst papers In New
York.
One of the Norfolk newspapers that
carried the first story. in which Ware
Kraemer brought charges against the
trust, lost the advertisement which
the trust carried in its columns.

are afraid Of the earthquakes, which
invariably have followed eruptions of
the mountain.
Slight earthquake shocks have been
felt from time to time. but have been

as to surely call for English inter-
ference unless checked.
Nepai and Bhutan are states which
from their early show OF friendliness
to British rule In India. have been
permitted to remain neminally inde-
pendent, though under British
suxerainty. Over Nepal. however.
China has always claimed suzeratnty.
The Chinese never having had access
to II in the past, the dispute seemed
unimportant
The Nepalese government sent an
embassy to Pekin at stated Intervals
and the Chinese pretended to con-
slider this an acknowledgment of sub
serviency, while the Nepalese insisted
on regarding 1t as merely a compli-
ment TO China.
Now that China Is established In
Tibet notice has been received here
from Nepal that the Chinese are de-
handing a more spectfc admission
that the state is Chinese dependency
and are arranging for the mainte-
nance OF a Chinese representative al
