NEXT SUMMER

Towle's Opera House is to be given
over to vaudeville this summer, accord
ing to the plans that were announced
by Manager Manderback today.
The vaudeville Performance which
was given here yesterday was great
success and attracted large audience.
The acts came from the Orpheum cir
cult and were considered good as
can be seen in the better vaudeville
houses in Chicago.
While vaudeville was tried out at
Towle's last year it was under the
management of Harvey Brooks. Brooks
was compelled to secure the acts from
Chicago and pay large rental for the
theater besides.
After running for about q month
Brooks failed and vaudeville a t Towle $
was discontinued. This year the ef-
fort to give Hammond summer vaude-
Vile will be under the management OF
the Towle Opera House.
It is believed that it can be made tc

OPPOSES TOBACCO PLAN.
Subsidiary Files Suit to Keep Trust from
Carrying II Out.

New York, Oct. 8.-Charles p. Caruth.
counsel for p. r. Richardson, jr.. q Co,
d subsidiary Of the American Tobacco
company, has filed petition with the
United States circuit court, asking that
the American company be enioined from
interfering with the business of the Rich
ardson company. This petition carries
with it complete denunciation of the
plans OF disintegration OF the American
Tobacco company as now proposed In
his petition Mr. Caruth gives what il
believed to be the authentic details OF.
the tobacco companys dissolution plans.
These details summarized show that the
American Tobacco company is to be di-
yided into three corporations, each to
have almost unlimited capital and re.
sources; that control of these companies
will remain with the majority of voting
stockholders of the American. Tobacco
company; that the American Tobacco
company is to remain in existence for
the purpose of paying off its bonds at
maturity and that the American Tobacco
company will control Sl70.000000 OF the
assets Mr.. Caruth states that the dis
solution plan has no etfectual safeguards
to prevent the companies created out on
the elements now united from being real
ly, though secretly, controlled by the
same interests as at present.
