produced its natural result, not only because the company acquired during the last two years of the campaign, as we have stated, control of important plug tobacco concerns, but others en- aged In this industry came to terms. We say this because in 1898, in con nection with several leading plug man ufacturers, the American Tobacco com pany organized a New Jersey corpor- alton styled the Continental Tobacco company for trading and manufactur- ing with a capital of $I5,0O0,000, af- terward increased to Sl00 00000,000.'
 The new company issued it's stock. the chief justice said and took trans fers to the plants assets and businesses of i've large and successful plug manu- ia, ,urers The American Tobacco company transferred to it's plug busi- ness and "Mr Duke. the president of the American Tobacco company also became president of the Continental company"
 The second period, or that following the orgAnization of the Continental To- bacco company, was described next Of these years Chief Justice White said;

WIRELESS OFFICIALS
 SENT ID PRISON President Wilson Given 3 Years in Atlanta Prison
 For Misuse of Mails

New York, May 29.-Christopher Co., lumbus Wilson, president of the Unit d Wireless Telegraph company and | his four assistants were found guilty by jury this afternoon on four counts, charging misuse of the malls in so- !iciting stock subscription. The court immediately imposed sem tence as follows:
 President Wilson, three years in the federal prison at Atlanta; George H.
 Parker and F, E. Butler, two years each in the same penitentiary; w. A Dibell
 and w. W. Tompkins, one year each In
 some New York prison. Following a sensational charge by District Attorney Wise that one of
 the jurors had been approached Sun day night in the interests of the de- fendants with the offer of bribe,
 ''even if it ran into five figures" and his characterization of the convicted men as desperate prisoners who would flee the jurisdiction of the court If ad- initred to bail" Judge Martin committed the five men to the Tombs under 10 cay sentence to allow an appeal to the circuit court of appeals If they de- sire.
 MT Wise's sensational charge of att tempted jury bribery came when law yer for the defendants poo-poohed the idea that the prisoners would run way. MT. Wise reddened as he approached the bench and exclaimed: T know. your honor, that money was offered to pull me off. I know that one juror was offered any amount of
 money up to five figures If he would hang the jury. I know there was a certain lawyer interested in having money put in my hands to withdraw
 from the prosecution of certain de- fendant."
 As if actuated by a common impulse the 10 lawyers for the defense advanced toward Mr Wise, who stood with his fists clenched and eyes flashing. The whole court room jumped up, expecting to see an encounter.
 Instead, one of the attorneys calmly
 demanded of Mr. Wise the name of the lawyer.
 q will name him at the right time and place." shouted MT. Wise Tn summing up. District Attorney Wise declared that it had been shown
 "wilson netted s900,000 from the sale
 of 76,0O0 shares of stock but in all

 Subtracting also the profits which
 his associates were accused of pocket
 ing, only s700. 900 out of the $3,000.-
 900 receipts of the United Wireless
 company in three years went into the
 treasury of the company. Each of the defendants was convict
 ed on four counts, three in each case charging misuse of the mails and the fourth conspiracy. The maximum sen

 Cigar company, the American Stogie com pany, McAndrews and Forbes company, and the Fonley oil company were named as 'accessory defendants" The 59 other American corporations were denominated the "subsidiary defendants" The two English corporations. the Imperial To- bacco company ands the British-Amercan Tobacco company, as we'll as the 39 indi- vidual defendants, headed by James B. Duke, remained unclassified.
 The .'undisputed facts in the case were divided by the chief justice into two periods the one being from the time of the organization of the first, or old Amer can Tobacco company in 1890 to the or ganization of the Continental Tobacco company in 1898, and the other being from the date of that organization to the be- ginning of the case under review
 The chief justice dwelt at length upon the organization of the old American To- bacco company in Januafy, 1890, just be- fore the Sherman antitrust law was passed. He described the organization of the American Tobacco company to carry on the business of five distinct concerns which at the time were manufacturing 95 per cent of all the domestic cigarettes produced in the United States. Prior to the organization of this company, the Cn1ef JuStlce. Sa10 the hVe concerns had been engaged in fierce and abrlormaI' competition.
 Explains Expansion
 He told with much detail how the Amer ican Tobacco company expanded By the end of 1891 he said the company had be- come a factor in all branches of the to- bacco business. Specific instances of con tracts being entered into to prevent per- sons who sold out to the American To- bacco company from re-tenring the to- bacco business for 10 to 20 years were cited By the expansion proceeding, he said the American Tobacco company &C., auired between 1891 ana 1898 15 growing to- bacco concerns doing business in the states of Kentucky. Louisiana. Maryland, Michigan, Missouri. New York, North Carolina and Virginia.
 The organization of the Continental To- bacco company was not described.
 There is no dispute,' says the chief justice, that as early as 1S93sthe pres ident of the American Tobacco com pany, by authority of the corporation. approached leading manufacturers of plug tobacco and sought to bring about a combination of the plug tobacco in- terests and upon the failure to ac- coniplish this, ruinous competition, by lowering the price. of plug below its cost, ensued. As a result of this war fare. which continued until 1898. the American Tobacco company sustained severe losses, aggregatinE more than four millions of dollars. The warfare

SHIP SUBSIDY CHARGES
DECLARED UNFOUNDED.
No Lobby or Improper Influence,
Saws Congressional Committee.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-There Is
and has been no lobby OF use of I'M
proper influence either for or against
ship subsidy legislation. So says the
special committee of the House of Rep
resentatives in its report of the inyesti-
cation for which It was appointed a
year ago. The report vas presented
to the House today by the chairman.
j. Van Vechten Olcott, of New York.
The committee feels it dts duty to
inform the House thai there have been
widespread throughout the country
statements that Hobbies and corruption
on the p TT of members OF Congress
existed in favor of ship subsidy CT
against ship subsidy, and that the
parties who made them, after beng
thoroughly questioned, have admitted
that they had no information upon
which to base such statements or pub
locations, but relied upon surnlise, sus-
picion and rumor.
These are the formal conclusions OF
the committee:
"As to charges against members Of
Congress, the committee finds that tho
charges contained in the statements
set forth In the preamble to the r2so
luton under which this committee was
appointed, go far as the same reflects
upon the honesty or integrity OF Hon

subject of ship subsidy legislation, AMI
tina there are no funds for the sup

The committee says that few of 'he
people actively interested In the MGR
chant Marine League, in whose maya
zine the charges appeared, had any
personal financial interest IN the
league, Secretary John A. Penton and

responsibility for its publications.
