CARMODY TO OPPOSE PLAN
Says Tobacco Reorganization
Does Not Comply with Decree.

Thomas F. Carmody, Attorney General
OF the State Of New York. filed a petition
yesterday in the United States Circuit
Court, asking leave TO appear at the hear
ings on the reorganization plan of the
American Tobacco Company. The court
granted the request. Attorney General
Carmody said that. in his opinion, the plan
did not comply with the decree of the Su-
preme Court.
Objections on the part Of the Independent
Tobacco Manufacturers Association of the
United States TO the plan were filed yes
teTday by John W. Yerkes, counsel for the
organization. Mr. Yerkes said the plan
presented by the American Tobacco Com
pany continued the monopoly, restrained
trade and prevented competition among
the four great companies proposed-namely,
the American Tobacco Company. the Lig-
gett & Myers Company. the Lorillard Com
Iany and the r. J. Reynolds Company.
Through apt adroitness in the distribu-
tion of brands and factories and the con-
seQuent necessary type and grades OF to-
bacco TO be used by each Of these com
panies," Mr.. Nerkes added, competition
between them in the purchase of the raw
material and sale of finished product is
o strOyed and a virtual monopoly in care
fully selected directions given TO each.
Mutually of stock ownership in these
four companies creates such unity Of in
terest as bars proper active trade compe-
tition between them in buying and selling"
AS a further objection Mr.. Yerkes gave
power and momentum, which he said would
give to these companies assets that would
render impossible competition on the part
of Independent manufacturers.

BURGLARS SET OFF ALARM
Barely Escape Police in Fleeing
from Loft Building.

The ringing of a burglar alarm early yes
terday morning in a loft at No. AS Sixth
avenue. occupied by Semnel & Weisler,
furriers, summoned three patrolmen to the
scene and scared away burglars, who had
entered the loft through a hole cut in the
floor above.
The thieves entered the building by means
Of fire escape in the rear, and, evidently
knowing that the doors of the fur
riers' warerooms were protected by burglar
alarm wires, gained entrance through the
floor above. Before they could pack up
any OF the furs stored in the room one of
them must have accidentally come in con-
tact with the burglar alarm. and, hearing
the gong ring, they fed. climbing back
through the hole in the floor and down the
fire escape.
When the police arrived the men had
gone, but It was found that they had left
leather suitcase. some tools and coat
and hat, which may serve as clews.

Imperfect political conditions in this coun-

court. He speaks of the demand for it as
a rart of the reaction against the control

INTO ETERNAL REST.

Again death has summoned
faithful and well beloved member of
the Sacred Heart parish. On Thurs
day of last week Mrs. Catherine
Cummings died at her home, 824
South Thirteenth street. She was
born in Floyd county eighty-seven
years ago, but had been a resident of
this city for many years. Mrs. Cum
mings was the widow of Patrick
Cummings and the mother Of three
children, who are still living to
honor her memory. They are James
Cummings, an engineer on the
Louisville & Nashville; Bart Cum
mings. of Los Angeles, and Miss
Mary Cummings, who resided with
her. The deceased led a simple,
quiet life, but one of great interior
beauty and devotion. Her brother,
also deceased, was a priest for many
years in Indiana. Mrs. Cummings
was an old friend of Bishop O'Don-
aghue, who visited her frequently
since coming to Louisville. Her
funeral was held Saturday morning,
Father Patrick Walsh offering the
mass and speaking kindly words OF
consolation from the life of her he
had known so many years.

Walsh's residence by the Very Rev.
Monsignor Grammar, of Washington,
acting as the special representative
of the Pope, by direction of Apostolic
Delegate Monsignor Falconio.
The decoration conferred upon
Mrs. Walsh is second only to that of
the Golden Rose, which is restricted
to women of reigning royal families,
and is rarely granted even to them.
The insignia consists of Jerusalem
cross and shield, the upright and
transverse pieces of which are OF
equal length. In each of the four
angles are smaller crosses OF similar
form. The whole is of gold enam-
eled in the finest style of Italian art
and studded with brilliants. The dis
tinction is conferred by the Pope
upon Catholic women for extraor-
binary service to the church. Mrs.
Walsh is the founder of the Henry
McCaddin, Jr., Fund for the educa-
tion of young men for the priest
hood. This fund has increased ma
teriaily since its establishment, and
students of all rites allowed in the
Catholic church-Latins, Greeks,
Armenians, Maronites, Syrians,
Chaldeans and Copts, distributed in
seminaries all over the world, in
Europe, Asia and America-are on
the roll OF the fund.
