River and Harbor Bill.
The senate committee on commerce
took up for consideration the river
and harbor bill as it came over from
the house. It was found that few
changes will be necessary in the mea-
sure, which is recognized as being
almost entirely in line with the recon-
mendations of the engineers of the
department. But it will be necessary
to make some additions to the bill in
order to meet the requirements in
cases where reports have been delayed
and where surveys have shown that
additional appropriations are needed.
The amendments presented by Sen
ator Nelson regarding the St. Paul har-
Dor and the high dam project at Min
reapolis and St. Paul will be consid-
cred on Tuesday and Representatives
Nye and Stevens have been invited to
| appear before the committee and ex-
plain the details of the project and
| the necessity for legislation along the
lines of the amendments as they have
been presented by Senator Nelson.
1t is the expectation of Senator Mel
| son, also, to secure insertion in the
river and harbor bill of provisions for
! carrying on the improvements in the
Lake of the Woods, at Zippel harbor
| and at Arneson, on the south shore OF
the lake. A survey has been complet-
ed by the engineers for harbor of
refuge at Zippel bay, but it is not
yet known what recommendations the
engineers make as to the amount of
money that will be required to carry
| on this Improvement. Funds will also
be required to make necessary i'm
proyements at Arneson, midway be
tween Zippel bay and Warroad har-
| Dor.

ARGUMENT FOR GOVERNMENT is
BEGUN By SPECIAL ATToR-
NEY McREYNoLDS.
BASED ON WILSON TARIFF LAW
Gigantic Monopoly Of World Trade
Alleged in Argument by Fed
eral Attorney Nc
Reynolds.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Oral argu
ments of the proposed dissolution Of
the so-called Tobacco Trust" were
begun in the supreme court of the
United States by ]. G. McReynolds
special assistant to the attorney gen
eral. At least one important result
was accomplished in the first few min.
utes that Mr.. McReynolds spoke. He
surprised some members of the court
by stating that the dissolution was
asked not only under the Sherman
antitrust law but under the Wilson
tariff act of 1894.
Mr.. McReynolds told the court that
this was the first case that had ever
been brought under the Wilson tariff
act. This act, he explained, applied
to Instances of restraint of trade
where an importer was a party.
Meaning Of Restraint.
Much discussion had taken place in
the trust" cases as to whether or
not the phrase, RESTRAINT of trade"
as used in the Sherman antitrust
law was equivalent to restraint of
free competition"
Mr.. McReynolds pointed to the Will
son act as the congressional inter-
probation of the Sherman act, passed
four years previous in which all doubt
as to the meaning had been removed
by using the phrase RESTRAINT of free
competition"
Nearly the entire time that Mr.. Nc.
Reynolds spoke was devoted to a his
tory of the socalled tobacco trust"
from the time the first American to-
bacco company was organized in 1890
for the alleged purpose of effecting a
monopoly of the cigarette trade, and
thus avoiding competition of independ-
poration in 1904 of the new American
Tobacco company as holding COM
pany, controlling IS companies inter-
ested in various branches of the to-
bacco business.
Competition Removed.
These combinations he described as
designed to remove competition. Once
organized, he told how competing
plants were purchased, each purchase
being accompanied by covenants on
the part of those who were selling out
not to engage in the business of man.
ufacturing or selling tobacco within
from ten to 20 years in the United
States, except Nevada and territory
or two.
Finally, he turned to the contracts
of the American Tobacco company
with the so-called British tobacco
trust, The Imperial Tobacco
company. BY these contracts he said,
the trade of the world in tobacco had
been parcelled out between them, the
American "trust" taking the United
States and Cuba for it's own; the Brit
ish trust" Great Britain and Ireland
and the British-American Tobacco Co.,
organized by the two trusts"
carrying on the tobacco business in
the rest of the world. AS result of
these combinations, he alleged that
competition for the purchase of leaf
tobacco had been eliminated in the

Griswold any more than Sands, or
two or three others. He did not even
know whether Miss Holcomb could

pose to distress the imprisoned girl
with questions betraying the smallest
belief In the accusation against her.
No; Britt always honest with himself,
could not say he suspected Griswold.
His method was the opposite of Don
nellys and Carson's. Instead of sus-
pecting everybody, as they invariably
did In cases at all mysterious, he
would not attach suspicion to anyone
without satisfactory proof. That was
the secret Of his success. He was
more than detectives; he was prose-
cutor, Judge, jury and counsel to the

CHAPTER X.
Dorothy March Talks.

Matinee girls In the Forrest Theater
differ from their sisters of other New
York playhouses in that they are far
more serious than anybody in the eve
ming audiences. Caramels, marshmal-
lows, chocolate creams are forbidden
by the unwritten law of their cult.
The utmost nourishment one Of them
can allow herself Is a sailed almond
nibbled surreptitiously between de-
corous little outbursts Of kid-gloved
applause. 1t Is not the sort Of gather
ing In which one would expect to find
the busiest sleuth of the headquarters
staff, especially with a great diamond
mystery on his hands. Yet, on one
of those warm January afternoons
that make the metropolis wonder If 1t

resort, one of the most interested aud
itors in the select little theater was
etective-Lieutenant Britt, Of Man

Britt found the somebody he sought

center aisle. Instantly his last pre-
tense of attention to the play van
ished. Keeping his eyes on the gray
curves Of the girl In the fifth row, he
quilted his post at one side Of the
house and walked slowly to the main
exit, whence he watched her until the
curtain fell on the first act. Mean
while, he scrubbed on a card, slipped
liberal tip into the receptive hand
of an usher, and indicated the object
Of his interest. When the curtain fell
on the first act, the usher hurried
down the aisle, and presented the
card to the girl in gray.
IF Miss March," read the young
woman, will spare a few minutes to
Britt, OF Headquarters, she will con-
fer favor and serve her friend, Mrs.
Missioner"
Dorothy gathered her wrap, glasses
and program quickly and followed the
usher to the back of the theater. The
youth led her to the famous detective,
whom, though she had heard of him
through Doris Missioner. she beheld
for the first time.

Dorothy. II was banal question, and

In his preoccupation he did not OBJ

did he become aware Of his presence.

He opened the second envelope and
read the contents half dozen times,
as If to stamp them indelibly on his
mind.

Britz dismissed the visitor, left the
house, and FASTENED to the Office Of
DR.. Fitch. Taking the important
cablegram from his pocket, he handed
it to the physician. The doctors eyes
| fingered on each word. His face paled,
his eyes bulged forward, a violent
tremor ran up and down his frame.
This is awful" he groaned.
TITS great news for you and Miss
Holcomb," the detective smiled.
Fitch eyed him in perplexity. The
detective met his inquiring gaze stead
lily, and, slowly folding the cablegram,
he said:

no part In the crime
"How?" Fitch demanded eagerly.
"If Miss Holcomb had been clever
enough to plan the theft, she'd have
known better than to go about Paris
ordering the duplicates. Also, II she
had taken the diamonds, she'd never
have permitted one of them to remain
in her room in Mrs. Missioner's
house. No, whoever stole those gems
deliberately tried to throw suspicion
on her"
"But who could have conceived such
dastardly crime?" Fitch blurted,
wave Of anger sweeping his frame.
whoever it was" Britt returned,
"either was actuated by enmity to-
ward the young woman, or knew
enough about the Missioner household
to realize that suspicion would natur-
ally fall on her, and therefore he de-
cided to use her as a cloak to hide
his own identity. However, l now

that will produce. quick results. DR..
Fitch, you may tell Miss Holcomb
that in my calculations she is entirely
eliminated from participation in the
crime. You may inform her also that

Before the physician recovered
from the pleasant shock Of the de-
tective's words, Britz was hurrying
down the steps.

He had cause to thank her, he be-
lieved. For, in her girlish talk, she
had given him the first Missioner
clue of the week-or. rather, she had
extended for him a thread of the
mystery that had occupied much of
his thoughts from the moment when
he received Logan's cable saying the
paste jewels were made from
sketches. For days, he had sought
intimates was artist enough to make
such delicate draughts of the dia-
monds as would be required by an ar
tificer for the manufacture of imita-
tons. With that object, he had ascer-
tanned Dorothy's intention to go to the
matinee in the Forrest and had gone
to the theater to meet her under con-
ditions not likely to interfere with
such gentle questioning of her as he
meant to do. His yelled interrogation
of the society girl had brought forth
the fact that Curtis Griswold could
sketch-that the clubman was suffi-
ciently master of his pencil to have
his skill pretty generally known
among his acquaintance. Lorimer
and Daubigny, the other society ar
lists she had mentioned, were not, he
knew. in Mrs. Missioner's circle.
1t was fortunate for Lieutenant
Britt, as we'll as for Elinor Holcomb
and Doctor Fitch, and everybody
whose hopes hinged on the detectives
success in solving the great Missioner
diamond mystery, that long custom
made him thread the traffic Of the
city's throbbing artery automatically,
for so deeply did the sleuth ponder
the possibilities of his newest infor-
nation that he had several close es-
capes from taxicabs, private automo-
biles and trolley cars as he crossed
Broadway and bent his steps toward
Fifth avenue. The case had cleared
little, but his course was not much

council. They were lined up on the
sides Of huge square. Colonel Haw-

about to harangue them. AS Hawkins
rose to speak, he halted. dumfounded
at strange sight.
Into the hollow square stalked
tall Indian. His face was painted Jet
black. streaked with queer daubs OF
white. His half-naked body was as
black and hideous as his face. Upon
his head waved forest Of eagle
plumes. Behind his back dangled the
tail of newly-slain buffalo. Like
some nightmare ghost the weirdly-
arrayed Indian strobe into the square.
At his heels were thirty other saw
ages In like disguise. Around the
open square they marched in utter
silence, their leader hating now and
then to exchange mystic peace
signs" with the more prominent or
the Creek chiefs.
Then the odd procession vanished
No word had been spoken. Yet the
Creeks, who had come to the confer
ence prepared to join forces with the
United States. suddenly changed their
minds. Hawkins most eloquent pleas
fell upon deaf ears. Nor could the
commissioner understand what had
befallen. He asked the name Of the
black-painted leader who had thus
boldly broken in upon a solemn coun-
ell. The half-awed reply Of the Creeks
was:
"Tecumseh!"
Man Who Hated Progress.
Tecumseh was bravest and wisest
OF the Shawnee chiefs. He was born
near Springfield. O.. in 1853. When
he was young man he won fame in
the campaign against General
Wayne's Yankee troops. From boy
hood he hated the United States
Nor could Gen. w. H. Harrison, the
local Indian agent. soften his hatred
He repudiated all land treaties, made
with the whites, and In 1903 hit upon
scheme which threatened to check
westward progress. He planned to
combine all the warning western
tribes and to form them into a
mighty federation whose object was
to destroy the white men. Tecumseh
was helped by his brother, .'the
Prophet" who accomplished a series
OF neat, handmade miracles that
made tremendous impression on the
natives.
The great plan failed, through the
loss of the battle Of Tippecanoe (at
which Tecumseh was not presently,
and the baffled leader shifted to the
far south. There he sought to stir
up the tribes against the government
and to make them allies of the Brit
ish. For the War Of 1912 was at hand.
Like frebrand, he swept through
