TOBACCO TRUST
PLAN is OPPOSED
Continued from Page =

facturers and dealers of this State in
spite of the public avowal of Gov. Dix
that he was opposed to the programme
Of trust prosecution under the Sherman
law.
Independents disappointed.
Attorney General Wickersham filed with
the court a carefully prepared bill of
objections to the plan. Several attor-
neys for the independent tobacco in
terests declared that It was disappointing
in that it had not insisted as a condition
precedent to accepting any plan Of volun-
tary disintegration that there shall be no
common ownership of stock, no interlock-
ing directories in fact, If not in name
Only two of the lawyers of independents
insisted that the government should re-
sort to the Supreme Courts alternative
Of receivership proceedings. This plea
was made by Henry H. Hunter, counsel
for the independent retail dealers, and z.
J. Justice, counsel for the Farmers
Union Of North Carolina. Mr.. Justice
declared that since the organization Of
the trust the tobacco growers of his
State had been reduced to poverty, and
their wives and children had to work
in the fields to keep the wolf from the
door.
wickersham's Petition.
Attorney General Wickersham's cross
petition prescribes ten conditions with
which the plan must comply before the
government would feel satisfied. and he
prefaces his demands as follows:
obviously the effect Of any plan Of
dislntegration must be more or less a
pF nd 70
BILE for the court to determine in ad-
vance whether or not a plan will ac-
tually accomplish the purpose intended.
Any decree determining upon a plan
should, therefore, reserve to the gov
ernment the right at any time within
five years to apply for other or further
relief. To that end each and every one
Of the new corporations organized for
the purpose of carrying out the plan
should be brought in as a party to this
suit"
For and Against the Plan.
Lewis Cass Ledyard made the opening
argument for the trust He contended
that the proposal would completely di-
vorce the control of the industry from
the few hands that now dominate it, and
that the elements into which the combi-
nation will be divided will be controlled
by fourteen companies, none OF which
will have any control over the other. He
admitted that probably a better plan
could be devised, but no plan could be
perfect.
Louis d. Brandeis vigorously attacked
the plan. THE trusts plan,'' he ex-
plained, rs to divide up their companies
into several separate companies, con-
trolled individually, but by men who are
stockholders in the American Tobacco
Company. These companies would be
run separately, but the question is, VIII
the competition be real or sham? If this
plan is approved, I don't see how COM
petition can be real. There must be dis
tinCt ownership before honest, real COM
petition can be possible, and in the plan
now under consideration it is impossible
that such competition could be accom-
plished.
The hearing will be continued to-mor-
row, and closing speeches will be made
by De Lancey Nicoll and Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham.

Result of the Olympic Inquiry.

The inquiry into the collision between
the White Star giant liner Olympic and
the British cruiser Hawke, at South
ampton last month, has resulted in a
complete vindication of the cruiser and
the placing of all the blame upon the
liner 1t will be remembered that every
one of the many passengers interviewed
at the time declared the passenger ship
to have been the victim of gross incom-
potency or worse on the part of the
commander of the war ship or its navi-
gator. Nor did the many cable dis
patches tell a different story. All had
no hesitancy in putting the blame upon
the smaller vessel.
The admiralty experts, however, now
say that the Hawke had the right of
way and that her officers, getting no
signals from the Olympic, were justi-
fed in assuming that no emergency ex-
listed that required and justified any
departure from the recognized standard
rules of navigation. 1t is true, the in
quiry has been made by naval officials
alone, but the boards of trade in the
English seaport towns are reported as
fully in accord with the decision
reached, and that its accuracy and JUS
tice is declared in Great Britain to be
beyond question.
1t is rather astonishing that so many
personal observers of the collision
should have been so completely in terror.

What Kellogg Thinks About Taft

Frank b Kellogg. Republican nation
al committeeman from Minnesota, be-
lieves that the Presidents swing around
the circle which ended at Chicago Sat
urday night, has done him and his party
world Of good. He is especially
pleased with the reception accorded Mr..
Taft in Minnesota.
Mr.. Kellogg emphatically denied to a
Chicago interviewer Saturday that he
had had a conference in that city some
weeks ago with James R. Garfield and
other progressive leaders with reference
to the possible candidacy of Col. Roose-
Welt. He said: II am a friend OF the
colonel, and always have been, but 1
have not the slightest idea Of his be-
ing a candidate"

II is true that & revolution does not
change the character of people, and IN
twelve months the government has not
been able to do much toward fulfilling Its
early pledges or to instruct an ignorant
peasantry, or to introduce new ideas
among the governing classes.
Cynical observers declare that the
change has been more apparent than
real, and that the principal one Is a
change of men-with this difference;
that while the old gang Of politicians
had more or less established a system
under which they divided the spoils Of
public life, the new men are quarreling
among themselves over the distribution.
Corruption and favoritism may, of course
flourish under any form Of government,
and 1t would be ridiculous to assert that
the new officials are free from the faults
Of their predecessors; but the best men
among the republicans are undoubtedly
making an energetic effort TO improve the
condition Of the country. It Is easy to
criticise their actions. but even imper-
feet attempts at reformation are pref
erable to the hopeless stagnation OF the
royalist regime.
The immediate business before the
government Of the republic would seem
to be the smashing Of all sporadic up

WORTH KNOWING
Seeing Through 4 Brick.

Street showmen in Europe reap a
small harvest at times by enabling
people apparently 10 look through a
solid brick as though II were glass. a
telescope is mounted on small table
and a middle section is taken out of
the level tube. The instrument Is not
pointed skyward but YOU look through
it straight forward. After looking
through the instrument at buildings,
trees and other objects in the line nj
vision. you are greatly surprised 10
find you can still see these objects
when solid brick is set up endwise
on the table and made TO fill the space
In the table where the section has
been taken out. You examine the
brick again very closely, but you find
" true solid. or course the show
man has his own explanation to give
Of such an unusual experience as this
Of looking straight through solid
heavy brick, and he will keep up with
the times in doing so. AT one time
the explanation was psychic force.
then it was the Roentgen rays or X
rays. Lately the strange phenomenon
has been attributed to the wonder
working radium rays. 1t is no optical
Illusion, either, bur vertible delu-
sion or trick. For the fact Is that IN
the experiment you look around the
brick Instead of through il, and you
are enabled to DO this by means of
four mirrors ingeniously adjusttd.
The telescope, you remember is
mounted, and the supports are in fact
metallic tubes. The table Furthermore
has a body or drawer which has cs-
capped your notice So when the rays
OF light enter the object-end of the
telescope they strike upon small
tilted mirror, which reflects them
down through the forward hollow
support, Who're in the drawer they
strike upon another mirror, which
throws them back to a chanting third.
The third mirror, situated just under
the back support, reflects the rays up
again through this hollow support and
INTO the tube. Here fourth mirror
gives them another turn and shoots
them straight into the eye of the OBJ
server. The course is down, around,
up and out again.
