Government to Agree to To-
bacco Reorganization Plan.
CONFERENCE WITH TAFT
Attorney General Wickersham Gives
His Opinion in Case.
INDEPENDENTS PLEA DENIED
Circuit Court Refuses to Allow Them
to Intervene in the Dis
solution Suit.

After a long conference Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham had this morning with
President Taft it became known that the
government will make no appeal from
the decision of the United States circuit
court of New York in the plan accepted
by that tribunal for the reorganization
OF the American Tobacco Company 1t is
understood that the attitude Of the At
torney General Is that there is nothing
to appeal from. The government. how
ever, has q year In which to intervene If
II so desires, but In view Of the state
ment that there Is nothing to appeal
from no action Is likely to be taken dur
ing that time.
1t is taken for granted that the bureau
OF investigation Of the Department Of
Justice will keep reasonably close track
Of the operations of the tobacco COM
panies, as reorganized, to ascertain If
they are In any manner violating the
Sherman antitrust law as interpreted by
the Supreme Court of the United States.
Split Into Four Concerns.
Under the decree of the circuit court
the New Jersey company was split
into four companies. no one company
holding more than 80 per cent of the
stock of another. The claim of the in
dependent tobacco companies is that the
plan will mean no competition, while the
othcials of the tobacco company declare
that there will be competition. The in.
dependents allege that one company will
| make certain well known brands of to-
bacco and that the others will not conf
pete in any way, allowing monopoly tC
continue.
1t also became known today that the
Department of Justice Is not at this time
contemplating a dissolution suit against
what Is known as the Smelters' trust.

always 80 ahead of suits.
Petition Is Denied.
NEW YORK. November 16.-rhe United
States circuit court denied today the for
NAL petition Of the National Cigar Leaf
Tobacco Association and the Cigar Man
ufacturers' Association Of America filed
yesterday for leave to intervene In the
governments dissolution suit against the
American Tobacco Company.
The decision. which was not unex-
pected by counsel for the so-called in
dependents, furnishes a definite point
on which they may appeal to the fed

Taft and Knox Discuss
Sending Troops to China

Secretary Knox had a long talk with
the President today as to conditions in
China, and the advisability of sending
American troops there for the protec
tion of Americans and their interests.
Not a soldier will leave the Philippines
for China. except on orders from Presi-
dent Taft. No such orders have yet
been given. and ii may be that before
taking final action the President will
await the arrival in Washington this
afternoon of Secretary OF War Stimson
and Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood. chief OF
staff, who have been making an inspec-
ton Of the military posts at Forts
Leavenworth and Riley. Kan.
order the War Department has made
every preparation for q speedy move
ment of a full regiment OF 1000 men
from Manila to Chinwangtao. on the
Tientsin to Mukden. The organiza-
ton which will be sent has not yet
been selected. and 1t seems probable
that MAI. Gen. j. Franklin Bell, com
mander-in-chi OF the Philippine Divi-
sion, will be allowed to exercise his
discretion in making a selection.
Naturally. II is presumed that the
choice will fall on one of the infantry
regiments. of which there are now
three the a; I'm or s close by These

companies. Either Of these regiments
could be embarked on the transport
Sherman within twelve hours after the
receipt of orders, and could be landed
in the Chinwangtao in about six or
seven days.
Views Of Ministers.
II is known that representations were
made in an unoficial manner to the
State Department several days ago by
some of the foreign ministers in China,
through the American legation, to the
effect that il was Incumbent on the
United States to furnish some troops AS
part OF the international police force to
keep open the railroad from PekinK to
the sea, and also to protect foreigners
In the event that a state of anarchy
should develop in China. The arrival at
Peking Of Mr.. Calhoun. the American
minister, who has been on leave OF alb
sence in this country. probably brought
the matter to a focus. and his repre-
sentations doubtless decided the State De-
partment officials to make ready the
troops for service in China.
The State Department this morning
made public an abstract of cable reports

A RESOLUTION

CITY IS HAVING
TROUBLE WITH
TOWN COMMONS
LOOKS LIKE FIGHT AHEAD FOR
AND AGAINST SALE OF
PROPERTY.
Definite Action on Proposed Bill Will
Be Taken Monday Night When Re-
port of SPECIAL Committee Will
Come Up for Adoption.

City council seems to be experienc-
ing considerable difficulty in it's eff
fort to frame up a bill to be presented
at the present session of the legisla-
ture providing for the sale of all the
Towns Commons property.
The bill was read at the meeting
of council last week, and the meeting
adjourned over until Monday night in
order to give the members of council
time to look over the proposed bill
But most of the members were not
ready Monday night and another re-
cess was taken until last night, but
again the meeting was postponed and
this time the matter goes over untr
the regular meeting on Monday night.
1t seems that the special committee
appointed by Mayor Butts two or three
months ago to take charge of the
matter reported in favor of the sale
of the property. With their report
was attached a copy of the bill which
will authorize the city to sell the
property.
1t develops now, however, that some
opposition TO the Dill is very likely
and it is doubted whether or not the
people will ratify councils action even
after the bill is passed by the legisla-
ture. In order to get the bill through
during the present session it will be
necessary for council to take definite
action Monday night. 1t is the con-
sensus of opinion that the report of
the committee will be adopted, which
means that the bill will be passed by
the legislature, and then the people
of the city will be given an opportun-
ity at the next general election to
say whether or not they favor the
sale of the property. 1t will take a
two-thirds vote of all registered vot-
ers to carry the bill.
