surgeons knife must play large part in
the future. and there should be a Phys
cal examination of children before they
are taken into court"
Judge Mack decried the tendency of
modern civilization to take children away
from their mothers and place them in
Institutions. He asserted that parents
ought never to be relieved of the r.SpOn-
sbility of their children even after they
have been placed in institutions. and that
they should be required to contribute
something to their support.
Even after a child has committed a
crime he should be left at home if pos
sible," declared the speaker. The old
method of lock ng up every child fOun =
guilty of crime was a terrible mistake.
A probation officer can be sent to look
after the child and int identally to lind
out what was the cause of the crime "

SUPERIOR HAS $4,000 FIRE.
Gasoline Spreads on Water of Bay and
Burns FierceIy.

Duluth, MINI. - Fire originating
in some mysterious name in gaso-
line that was spread out on the wa
ter to Tower bay slip in Superior
did damage to the amount of $25, 900
and property worth millions was
threatened and for an hour or more
was in danger. The damage is con-
fined to the destruction of two ferry
boats, two launches and to the prop
erty of the Northwestern Oil Com
pany and Tower Bay dock.
The fire department of Superior
fought the fire over tanks of naphtha
fearlessly and with the same ardor
as if it were so much water. How
the gasoline got on the water is not
known. Where the stuff leaked from
has not been established, but it was
set fire by a spark from some boat,
and the waters of the slip were in
stantly sheeted in flames. The fires
burned fiercely around the tanks of
the Northwestern Oil Company, and
did considerable damage there. 1t
was extinguished only by the splendid
work of the fire department under
conditions of the greatest personal
danger. The two ferry boats were old.
They were the Hattie Lloyd and Fan
chon owned by Captain A. c. Majo.

DISSOLUTION OF TOBACCO
PLANS OF IDENTIFICATION ALL
MADE PUBLIC.
Will Be Three Competing Companies,
the American, Continental and
Ligget G. Myers.

New York, n. Y.-Some of the
details of the plan of disintegration
or recreation by which the American
Tobacco Company will SEX to obey
the mandate of the supreme court
have been made public. There will
be three companies, probably known
as the American Tobacco Company,
the Continental Tobacco Company and
the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Com
pany which will operate separately
and distinctly from each other and
compete with each other. The last
named was one of the chief constitu-
ents of the Continental Tobacco Com
pany. Prior to the consolidation Of
the American Tobacco Company and
the Consolidated Tobacco Company as
the present American Tobacco Com
pany, the Continental was owned by
the Consolidated.
Each of the new companies will
issue bonds, preferred stock and COM
mon stock to be exchanged for the
present issues of the American TObac-
co Company. AS to the treatment of
the securities of the present Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, it is under
stood that it will be as follows:
American Tobacco preferred shares
will receive in exchange par in equal
proportions of the preferred stock of
the three segregated companies. The
new preferred stock will bear 6h per
cent dividends as against 6 per cent
paid on the present preferred stock.
American Tobacco 4 per cent bonds
will receive in exchange $3.50 in cash
per $1,000 bond and 80 per cent Of
their par value in equal proportions
of new five per cent bonds to be is
sued by the three segregated compa-
MES.
American Tobacco 6 per cent bonds
will receive cash and bonds of the
new companies in proportions which
cannot be given at this time.
American Tobacco common stock
now selling at $500 per share on the
New York curb will receive in ex-
change par in equal proportions Of
the common stock of the segregated
companies.

Heavy Rains Swell Stream.

Heavy rains in the hills that sur
for the "a hours. Violent freshets in
small brooks that feed the Sinnama-
honing caused a sudden, swift rise of
that stream. The new masonry gave
way with a terrible roar as a great
volume of water rushed into the main
stream from its little tributaries. The
thunder of the crash came so swiftly
that the people in the peaceful vii
lage below, walled in by high hills, had
no warning Of their impending doom.
The deluge hit with full force every
building Immediately in its track and
either carried them down or wrecked
them before their occupants were
aware of what had happened. In
scores of instances people were drown
ed in their homes without knowing
what had caused the flood.
A sudden stop has been put to all
traffic within a wide area of the strick,
en- section. Railroads have d~iscontin,

contrived conveniences. Coudersport,
