ARGUMENTS CLOSE
ON TOBACCO PLAN
Supreme Court Will Pass Upon
Dissolution Scheme.
RECEIvERSHIP is HlNTED AT
Attorney General Says Complete Seq
regation of Companies Is Neces.
sary-Expresses Great Sym
pathy for independents.

New York. Nov. Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham refused to accede
to the plan of the tobacco trust fol
dissolution and a three-cornered fight
involving the United States attor
ney, the trust and the Independent to-
bacconists, is well under way before
the federal circuit court.
Independent tobacco interests had
their inning, but it was not until afte
er they had undergone a severe ar
raignment at the hands of DeLan
cey Nicoll and others representing the
tobacco trust
Mr.. Nicoll declared that he and his
associates had been met by objections
by the attorney general at every turn
in formulating a plan under the de
c1sion OF the Supreme court, and init
mated that many of the drastic fea
lures of the present plan were the re
suit OF Mr.. Understands objections
He was vigorous in his denunciatior
of the attitude of the independents.
High Court Will Pass on Plans.
Arguments were closed and all that
now remains for the country and the
trust to know what to expect is the ap
prevail or disapproval of the plan by
the court. In either event the United
States Supreme court eventually will
have to pass on the dissolution.
Attorney General Wickersham made
it clear that he thoroughly appreciated
the gravity of the situation caused by
the prosecution of corporations for VIC
Iations OF the Sherman antitrust law.
Wickersham Answers Nicoll.
In his reply to Delaney Nicoll he
declared that '"it would be a tire.
mendous calamity to the industries OF
this country il some means cannot be
found to reorganize the tobacco comb.
nation which would avoid the ruin and
wreck that will be certain to follow
receivership."
He declared that he had done all in
his power to aid in bringing about a
new condition without resort to a re.
ownership and that he had frequently
conferred with the court and counsel
for the defendants to that end. But
he also declares that he would have
been entirely untrue to his trust If he
had failed to take that view of this
case and had not used his best efforts
to arrive at a proper solution.
Has Sympathy for Independents.
Mr.. Wickersham added: q must
confess to great deal OF sympathy
with the Independents who have ap-
peared before gu. We are not left in
doubt by the decision of the Supreme
court as to the course which the gov
eminent must take and the function of
the court in passing on that subject"
Joseph H. Choate, representing the
six per cent. bondholters of the Amer
lean Tobacco company, announced to
the circuit court judges that if there
is incorporated in the reorganization
plan the suggestion Of Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham that the government
be granted the right to appeal to the
court for further relief at any time
within five years, none of the bond
holders would consent to the dissolu-
ton plan and that 1t surely would fail.

THE LOSS AT LEAST S7O,OOO.OO
A Binding Snow and High Wind at

One of Mystery.

Mason City, Nov. 1.-Special: Over
100 guests of the Wilson and Cerro
Gordo hotels fed to the streets in a
binding snow storm at o'clock this
morning and shivered in their night
robes as they saw the Wilson theatre
between the two hotels a mass of
flames, which later attacked the Viii.
son hotel, doing damage to one wing.
The loss at least will be $4,000.
The fire started in the first balcony
of the theatre from a mysterious
cause, yet unknown, and rapidly
spread, famed by the high wind,
driving the snow from the north. The
building was soon envelopeds in
flames and at the first alarm the
guests in the hotels rushed for safe
ty. Women and children thinly clad
ran into the streets and some were
carried out from the two hotels in a
hysterical condition.
The firemen worked hard, but the
flames soon spread from the theatre
to the Wilson hotel and damaged
one wing of that building.
For time it looked as though the
entire business block would be wiped
out by the flames driven by the wind.
G. w. Geibel, lessee of the hotel,
says the loss there will be about $780,
900.
The Wilson theatre was the only
play house in Mason City and it's des-
will prevent the performance
of the better class of plays here.
Thomas Arthur, lessee of the
threatre, says he is unable to give
any reason for the cause of the fire.
