BIG STICK NOW AFTER
 HURLEY TOBACCO SOCIETY
Prosecution of Night Riders in Ken
 lucky and Tennessee.

Washington. Jan. 3-The government Is preparing to prosecute the night riders in the tobacco districts of Kentucky and Tennessee by beginnin g proceedings against the Burley Tobac- co society.
 Convinced that the society is a combination and a conspiracy under the terms of the Sherman antitrust law, the department of justice is in- vestigating it's operations on that ground. Agents have recently been sent to the tobacco growing regions to inquire into the methods of the as sociation and they have reached the conclusion that the organization is connected with the depredations of the night riders.
 No authoritative statement has been issued by the department, but it is known that there is now a well de- fined purpose to present the matter to the courts The department is un- decided, however, whether the pro- ceeding shall be civil or criminal. With that point decided the matter will soon receive attention.
 The Burley society is a strong or ganization composed largely of farm CTS and 1t is believed that when taken the governments action will create g. sensation.

 we have no connection of any kind with the firm involved in this difficulty and will not under any circumstances interfere. Our organization has never at any time allowed it's members to be used as strikebrealSers, but, on the contrary, in a few isolated cases where individual members of our organiza- tion have accepted unfair employment where independent organizations have had strikes, they have been fined and ordered from the factory

CHICAGO BANDIT
 WAS A NOBLE ENGLISHMAN.
Shot Dead by Policeman While Hold
 ing Up Saloon.

Chicago Jan. 3.-That Harry B. Featherstone. bandit and safe blower who was killed by a Chicago police man while holding up a saloon New Years morning, was the disinherited son of a noble English family was sworn to today at the inquest into the robbers death by his sister, Miss Emma Featherstonaugh, who declared that her brother was rightfully the bearer of the name Lord Feathersto- naugh.

 My grandfather. Henry Bardiff Featherstenaugh, was the nephew and heir of the last baron of one of the oldest families In Essex England. The daughter Of an Englishman neighbor had been picked out for him to wed. but he ran away and married a poor Irish girl named Lee. For this he was disinherited. He came to America and settled in 0swego, N. Y.,where he pros persd.

TRUST COMPANY MERGER
 UNITING $15o,oOoyOo0.
Perhaps the Largest of Its Kind ln
 This Country.

New York, Jan. 3.-J. Pierpont Mor- gan, Thomas F. Ryan and Levi p. Morton linked Hands in New York to- day in n trust company merger which unites resources of $lb0. .000,01O. it Ia a triple combination, bringing the Guaranty Trust company, the Morton Trust company and the Fifth Avenue Trust company. all of this city, under one head with the title of the GIaranry Trust company. The merger 's per= haps the largest of it's kind m ths United States,
 Directors of all three companies met today and informally approved The terms of the merger which will be Due in more definite form on Wednesday, when another directors meeting will be held, and the plan will be ratified by the stockholders, although a formal vote on the matter will not be taken until later
 Levi p Norton who Is president Of the Morton Trust company and the known as Morton Ryan concerns, has consented to act as chairman Of inc board of the merged companies, Ter which no president has as yet nctn selected The name of Alexander J' Hem mphill, vice president and acting president of the Guaranty Trust com pany, has been mentioned for the zee sition, however.
 - This new event in finances follows the recent absorption of the Guaranty Trust company by the so-called Mrr- gan interests, but upon just what terms the merger was made was n0t disclosed today. The Guaranty -ust company was organized in 1891 and has total deposits of more than ss8.- 100000. The Morton Trust company, which was formerly the banking house of Bliss, Morton & company was ore ganized in 1899. Thomas F. Ryan is vice president. Its deposits aggregate more than $35,000, ,00O Like the Guar anty Trust company, its capital and surplus are S2,0O0. 900 each.
 The Fifth Avenue Trust company founded ten years ago, is one of the better known uptown financial lnstitu- tions, with a capital and surplus Of $1.000. 900 each It has paid very large dividends of recent years. The capl- tai stock of the new company will probably be fixed at $5000 000, Bith perhaps a like amount for surplus. TO is believed that the merger Wlll in- Volye large stock and cash 'dtVi1spds to the shareholders of the three cOiu- paui"s
 The present headquarters of the Fifth Avenue Trust company will be retained as a branch of the combi1ed companies. while larger offices Wili house the combined companies in the financial district.
 It was rumored that the Morgan in- terests had acquired the ho dings Of Thomas F. Ryan in the Morson Trust company, but no statement 'n this point was @bta1nable.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND WARMLY,
 DEFENDS LATE KING LEOPOLD
In His Government of the congo-No
 Atrocities"

St. Paul, Minn.. Jan. 3-Archbishop Ireland in a statement issued today for publication warmly defends the course of the late King Leopold of Bel gium in his government of the Congo. The statement says:
 "As time is allowed for calm consid- eration of facts, the general American press changes very much for the bet ter it's tone with regard to the admins tration of the Congo under the late king of Belgium. There was at first the passionate outcry against barbar- ous cruelties committed under his regime Now. however, official docu- ments or reports of disinterested and unprejudiced travellers are being listen ed to, and the bogey of atrocities is be- ing more or less put to rest.
 sAs plain matter of fact, there were no atrocities in the Congo. This may not be taken as meaning that the Belgian operations on the whole, in a new and untried field of labor. were at all times free from abuses of any kind, but that the oft-proclaimed atrocities took place and were the re- suits of a general administration Is entirely false"

In Sending to Congress His Message on Inter state Commerce and Antitrust Amendments
MESSAGE COMING IN TWO PARTS
That Dealing with Trusts will be Sent 1hursday-The Section Dealing with Interstate Commerce Law will Follow Friday Noon-Coaference with Railroad Presi- dents-Sresdent Taft Makes Known His Position

tions upon the issuance of stocks, bonds and short term notes. Presi- dent Taft will recommend that no such securities shall be issued in the future without the approval of the interstate commerce commission, are for purposes authorized by law and for a price not less than par for stock and not less than the reason able market value for bonds- The railroads claim that this restriction will seriously interfere with their bor- rowing ability. The amendments are designed to prevent over-issues of stocks and bonds and the custom known as "watering. If adopted, 1t is said the amendment also would put tive construction.''
 The railroad men objected further to the proposed amen dment giving to shippers the right to select Q through route for their goods, and to giving the interstate commerce commission the up new ratings and classifications by a railroad until sufficient cause shall nave been shown for the new rates.
 Federal Incorporation Law.
 It was said today. that no bill has been prepared by the administration to carry out the presidents ideas as to a federal incorporation law. He will leave the working out of this measure to congress. But he will recommend that the law be a volun- tary one
 The terms upon which charters are to be allowed and licenses granted will have to be included in the law; but it is believed that no law can em- power the executive branch of the government to revoke either a charter or license and that such revocation can come through the courts for cause.
