yesterday and threw his attendants

The king, accompanied by Premier

town in Morocco. At the railway
station his majesty was acclaimed by
a great throng who joyously followed
the carriage in which he drove with
the mayor to the palace of the COVER

palace and the doors swung closed
behind him an explosion in the crowd
outside drowned the cheers. 1t was
found that two persons had been
slightly injured, but no other harm
was done. An Official account of the
incident says that it was unimpor-

enclosed in a box" 1t was said. No
further details we're made public.

TOBACCO TRUST
CASE ARGUED

3-,sTs ~ - .-'-
Famous Effort to Dissolve the
Company Now Before the
Supreme Court

Washington, Jan. 7.-Oral argument
of the proposed dissolution Of the So
called tobacco trust" were begun
late today in the supreme court of
the United States. -
AS a year ago, when the dissolution
suit was argued for the first time be-
fore the court, so today ]. C. McRey-
nolds, special assistant to the attor-
ney general in charge of the tobacco
fight for the government made the
opening address to the court. He had
not concluded his remarks when
court adjourned until Monday. BY
arrangement with the court, counsel
on both sides agreed to conclude their
arguments in twelve hours. This will
bring the close Of the presentation
about p. m. next Wednesday. At
that time the Standard Oil dissolution
suit, will be taken up in oral argu-
ments. At least one important re-
suit was accomplished in the first
few minutes that Mr.. McReynolds
spoke. He surprised some members
Of the court by stating that the dis
solution was asked not only under
the Sherman antitrust law but un-
der the Wilson tariff act Of 1894.
Mr.. McReynolds told the court that
this was the first case that had ever
been brought under the Wilson tar
iff act. This act, he explained, ap-
piled to instances Of restraint OF trade
where an importer was a party. This
information was brought out by ques-
tions from Justice Lurton.
II do this because l never heard
of the Wilson act in the case BEFORE"
said the justice. Mr.. McReynolds as
'sured him that 1t had been mention
ed the first argument.
Much discussion had taken place in
the trust" cases as to whether or
not the phrase restraint of trade" as
used in the Sherman antitrust law,
was equivalent to restraint of free
competition" Mr.. McReynolds point
ed to the Wilson act as the congress
sional Interpretation Of the Sherman
act, passed four years previous. in
which all doubt as to the meaning
had been removed by using the phrase
restraint of free competition"
These combinations he described as
designed to remove competition. Once
organized, he told how competing
plants were purchased, each purchase
being accompanied by covenants on
the part of those who were selling
out, not to engage in the business of
manufacturing or selling tobacco
within from ten to twenty years In
the United States, except in Nevada
and territory or two.
Finally he turned to tho contracts
Of the American Tobacco company
with the so-called British tobacco
trust" the Imperial Tobacco COM
pany. BY these contracts, he said,
the trade Of the world In tobacco
had been parcelled out between them,
