TOBACCO Plan HAS
APPROVAL OF THE
CIRCUIT COURT
Understands Request For Re-

SOME NOTIFICATIONS MADE
Court Holds That Trusts Proposal i:
an Honest Effort to Comply
With Law

New York, Nov. 9.-The litigation
which the federal government began
Az years ago to break up the Ameri-
can tobacco company approached the
stage of completion yesterday by
judicial acceptance, with few modi-
fications, OF the much-discussed plan
which the company itself drew up for
dissolution of the combine in accor-
dance with a mandate of the United
States supreme court. The decision
of approval was filed by Judge La
combe of the United States circuit
court here yesterday afternoon, and
supplementary opinions were filed by
Judges Coke and Noyes, concurring
generally with Judge Lacombe. No
one of the judges regarded the plan
as perfect, but all declared that the
ideal was beyond attainment, and that
as a practical, substantial compliance
with the law the plan, as slightly
modified, appeared the best attain
able Each Of the justices asserted
his belief that the plan is an honest
one and that there is no question OF
the good faith OF its authors, Judge
Ward, the fourth member of the court
filed no opinion.
The features of the opinions of
Judges Lacombe, Noyes and Coke are
that the dissolution should be con
summated without delay; that the re

that the court does enjoin for a period
Of three years the 29 individual defen
dants in the suit from acquiring any
additional holdings in the companies
into which the trust is split; and that
the application made by the indepen

Cigar stores company lies outside the
authority OF the court, but that thi:

ately by the declaration of counse
for several OF the opposing indepen

Judge Noyes drew a general mora
from the case. In conclusion he said

Moves arrest was brought about
through the quick wit of one of the
employees at the car barn in North
Bennington whom his fellow work
men in recognition of his detective
ability have since dubbed him with
the sobriquet of Sherlock" When
the New York state officers got on
the trail of Noyes he had crossed the
Vermont state line and was therefore
out of reach One of the officers
telephoned to the car barn at North
Bennington and Sherlock" answered
the call. He was told of the circum-
stances and at once set himself on
the watch for Noyes The window
smasher soon came in sight walking
over the trolley track and upon his
arrival at the barn was engaged In
conversation by the sly Sherlock
who made no mention of the stone
throwing. Having gained the mans
confidence Sherlock" suggested that
walking over the ties must be thirsty
work and that glass of Walloom
sac "suds" might help things along
Noyes was agreeable and the pail
started back over the track toward
Hoosick Falls AS soon as they
crossed the state line they ran into
Superintendent Green and some of
fcers who proceeded to land Noye'
in the Hoosick Falls Jail.

TO
Be GOVERNOR IN
MARYLAND
Second Republican Elected In
Fifty Years.
FOsS ONLY DEMOCRAT
Governor Alone Elected in Massachu-
sets and by Small
Majority

Later election returns from various
states clear up some of the uncertain
ties apparent in the late reports OF
Tuesday night. Returns at Santa Fe.,
N. NJ. indicate a triumph for the dem
ocratic party so far as the governor
ship is concerned. The republicans
carried the Legislature. This was the
first election held in New Mexico,
which is q new state. In Maryland
the returns are coming in slowly
The election OF Phillips Lee Colds
borough, republican, as governor, Is
apparent. He will be the second Re
publican governor of Maryland in
Fifty years. The Legislature will have
a democratic majority.
There were reversals from the re-
publican to the democratic party in
the states of Kentucky and Ohio. In
the former state majorities were given
to practically all the democratic can
didates, and James Bennett McCreary
was reelected governor by over 3d.
600.
Two states, New York and New Jer-
sey, replaced democratic Assemblies
with republican. New York elected
an Assembly that will have a republi-
can majority greater than the present
democratic majority in the lower
branch of the Legislature. The re
publicans will hold the Assembly by
upward OF so, as against the present
democratic majority Of "a. In New
Jersey, which has a democratic AS
sembly and a republican Senate, the
republicans will have control OF both
houses.
In one of the most bitterly fought
elections in the history OF Philadel
phia, Rudolph Blankenburg, indepen
dent republican, Tuesday defeated
George II. Earle, Jr., the republican
organization candidate for mayor by
the small plurality of 1894.
Although Gov. Eugene n. Foss viii
be chief executive Of Massachusetts
for another year, he will, as in tn,
past year. be surrounded by republi
cans, for he was the only democratic
candidate on the state ticket to pull
through at the election Tuesday. Re
vision OF press figures show Sigh
gain for Foss, making his plurality
1881. This is one of the smallest mar
gins by which governor was eyel
elected in Massachusetts.
David L. Walsh, the candidate fol
lieutenant-governor on the democrati,
| ticket, although leading the other dem
ocratic candidates, with the exception
OF the governor. failed Of election b!
only 30l7 votes.
AS he intimated right along. Gov
Foss yesterday announced that h
would retire from the governorship al
ter the term to which he was elected
Tuesday He looked exceedingl!
pleased with everything yesterday
but apparently felt that two years IL
the governors chair would be enough
for him.

OLIN SCOTT GAVE $500
H.. 3. North VIII Put UP Building
for Fred /. Bottum and A. N.
Torrance

Through the efforts of the Industrial
committee of the Bennington Board OF
Trade, of which committee DR.. w. 4.
Putnam is chairman, 1t Is expected
that Messrs. F. l.. Bottum and A. M.
Torrance will open new collar fac
tory here instead Of going out OF town.
as they had originally planned because
they could not find asuitable building
here.
Since the litigation in the Bottum
and Torrance company came to head
through which Messrs. Bottum and
Torrance lost control of the company.
they have been planning to start
new business and build up company
of their own. This, they wish under
stood, is not war on the old company
which is now doing a good business,
and which they desire to have prosper
because they are large stockholders.
The use of collars and kindred goods
however, Is universal and Messrs Bot
tum and Torrance think that new
concern can make success as they
are so familiar with the business.
They wanted to locate here but
could not find building, and so con-
sidered going elsewhere. The board
of trade desired to keep all the bust
ness ii could here and mainly through
| the board, H. b. North of the Ben
nington Box factory, became interest
ed, and offered to put up fire proof
building for the new collar company,
provided lot we're furnished him. Mr.
North also insisted that the lot must
be large enough so that he. could put
up building for his own business
when his present lease expires. He
states that his business has outgrown
his present quarters and desires to
largely increase his output. ~
| The lot he wanted was the tract
owned by Col. Olin Scott, at the corner
of Stafford and Scott streets and for
which Col Scott asked $500. Find
ing what the lot was for. Col Scott
generously agreed to make the price
OF the lot $500 less, thus in effect CIV
ing that amount toward the project.
Mr.. North agreed to put in $500 II the
board of trade would raise the other
$500 A special committee composed
Of John Nash. Harry j. Cole and w.
H. Nichols took hold of the matter
Tuesday afternoon and at 6 o'clock
last night had the amount raised.
They met most generous response
by the citizens OF Bennington, practic-
ally the entire amount being given in
sums ranging from $50 down to IS.
Bennington again demonstrated its
public spirit and desire to make pro-
| gress.
i 1t is Mr.. North's plan to build at
once four story flre-proof building
for the collar factory at cost of from
$4,000 TO $4,000 and then to erect
similar building later for his own
business. making the total investment
in buildings not less than $4,000. The
subscriptions secured become payable
when the contract is let and work
under way on the building for the
collar company.
