Washington. Dee 13.-Senator
Lummins of Iowa, in a speech today,
urged speed on his bill providing for
review Of the supreme court OF the
decree of the United States circuit
court approving the reorganization
OF the American Tobacco company,
He said
The welfare of the people, the sta
bility OF business ana the wants of
congress imperatiyely require that
TINS decree shall be reviewed BY the
supreme court IN o~as, thet we may
know whether ,nis def, ae Is al that

pie
Until this fact is determined, he
said the present business uncertainty
must continue,
Mr., Cummins said that notwith-
standing the supreme courts decision
diSsoVing the American Tobacco COM
pany had been based upon the fact
that the tobacco business had been
so largely controlled by one company
the control of the affairs of the com
pany had continued largely IN three
holding companies-the American
company, the p. Lorrillard company
and the Liggett and Myers company
owning $21S, 100000 of the entire
100000 OF the old American
company.
The same men who owned the
American Tobacco company own these
three companies and own them in
the same proportion that thev owned
the old company he said, $50 that
they will control the business under
the new arrangement as they con
troiled ii under the old. If il was UNI
lawful for these men to concentrate
the business as they did it is giving
the people a stone instead OF bread
under the new arrangement"
The circuit court he said. has dis
regarded and nullified the order Of
the supreme court, but If no appeal is
practicable the decree OF the lower
court must stand as the final result Of
the litigation against the tobacco
trust
No action was taken on the bill.

New York, Dec. 13.-The case OF
the state asainst Lillian Graham ana
Ether Conrad charged with attempt
ing to murder w. Il. d. Stokes, prop
ably will be i'm the hands of the jury
by tomorrow night
The trial of the shooting show
girls" held interest today through the
re-appearance Of the spirited Miss
Conrad for cross examination and the
unexpected calling of stokes young
wife late in the afternoon.
The calling of Mrs. Stokes as wit
ness for the state came as surprise
TO the defense She said she had mar,
ried stokes February IL, 1911, but had
lived at Stokes hotel for four or five
months prior to that date. The man
feature of her testimony was the con-
tradiction of Miss Conrad's S deciH ra-
ton that the defendant had met
stokes at the Hotel Ansonia on the
morning of May 20. Mrs. stokes said
her husband and herself were away
that morning.
ethel Conrad's story of the shoot
o. of Stokes remained mistaken IN
any material point on cross -examina-
ton. she swore that Stokes shot twice
without effect and that she and MISS
Graham fired in self-defense ana
wounded Stokes in the legs. 1t was
his life or ours" she declared.
When asked why she did not tell
the police that Stokes had fired twice
she said she did not tell the police all
she knew because they were 'old tat
tie tales anyhow.
A statement on Mr.. Stokes CON
dition issued tonight by his physi-
clans says
IAN operation has given Mr.
stokes relief. The poison Is slowly
being removed from the system. 1t

Washington, Dec. 13.-The Sulzer
Joint resolution for the termination of
the treaty Of 1892 between the Unit
ed States and Russia, because of the
latter's discrimination against Jewish
American citizens. was adopted by
the house tonight by vote of 500 To

resentative Malby of New York.
A practically identical resolution by
Senator Culberson of Texas, is pend
ing i'm the senate and favorable action
of both houses viii be necessary to
make either resolution effective. Both
the Sulzer and Culberson resolutions
direct the president to give Russia the
years notice necessary for the ahro-
CATION OF the treaty which has been
in force nearly eighty years.
An attempt led by Representative
Olmstead Of Pennsylvania, to modify
the Sulzer resolution so far as to avoid
making the direct charge that Russia
has violated the treaty in refusing to
recognize the passports OF American
Jews, was defeated, 1874 to IFS. Promi-
nent republicans declared that the
house should not 90 on record as
should adopt language stating that
/ Russia had acted In such manner that
the United States could no longer be
a party TO the treaty.
| Mr.. Mann said that If the United
States asserted that a discrimination
against Jews was violation of a
treaty it might weaken its own atti-
tude toward the exclusion of Orien-
tails
The debate in the house bristled
with charges that Russias attitude
was an offense agains the United
states; and that her exclusion OF Am-
erican Jews who bore properly certi-
fled passports, was an affrunt TO this
government
Representative Mccall of Massa
chusetts said the matter ought not to
be acted upon by the house until 1t
had been submitted to arbitration be-
tween the two countries. Represen-
tative Longworth of Ohio insisted that
the time for arbitration has gone and
the time for action has come"
Mr.. Mann endeavored to have the
joint resolution amended so as to as
sert the continued right OF the United
States to discriminate against foreign
ers on account of race. All amend
ments to the resolution were over
whelmingly voted down.
The resolution adopted by the house
declares that the government of the
United States will not he a party to
any treaty which disoriminates or
which by one of the parties thereto Is
so construed as to discriminate, be-
tween American citizens OnN the
ground of ee or religion, ana u
adds.
THE government of Russia has vio
