tend to Duties.

Representative Dwight of New York
republican whip OF the House, who has
announced that he intends to force mem
bers to attend the sessions of the House,
is much Disguised with the apparent in

demand the enforcement of the House
rule adopted way back in 1872. providing
that members shall not receive pay for
those days they do not spend in attend
ance on the sessions Of the House.
II am in earnest about this" said Mr..
Dwight today. 1T has been threatened
before and nothing has been done. But
this is the short session: We have q great
deal of work to do. That work cannot
be accomplished II half the time IL spent
in securing quOrums."
Az soon as the members find out Mr..
Dwight means what he says. the attend
ance is expected to improve wonderfully.

DEFENSE IS BEGUN
IN THE TOBACCO CASE
Delaney NicoII Says A. 7. Co.
Is Not Combination
of Competitors.

This was the day for the defense In
the legal battle before the Supreme
Court of the United States over the
proposed dissolution Of the American
tobacco corporations under the anti
trust laws.
In the arguments. spreading over the
the court has devoted already to the
case, little Of praise for the so-called
tobacco trust" but much of condem-
nation has been uttered in the little
courtroom. Today peLsncey N!ccll
was to conclude his opening statement
for the defense. and John G, johnson
Of Philadelphia was to make his arga-
ment on behalf of his clients.
Contention Of Lawyer.
Mr. Nicoll told the court that the Amer
lean Tobacco Company was not a COM
bination Of competitors. but was rather
an association In one department OF
many various branches of the tobacco
business. Because Of the popularity OF
the tobacco business manufactui ers OF
the same products would not necessarily
be competitors. He said. for instance.
that snuff for swedes would not suit
the factory girls VI NC" I]"eiohu. NdT'
Nicoll said factory workers were the
greatest consumers.
The attorney then took up q con-
sideration of what constituted the essen
tial element to q restraint OF trade. He
denied that In the growth by purchase
and acquisition by the tobacco corpora
ton could there be found an intent to
restrain.
He declared there was nothing in the
purchase Of leaf tobacco to show inl>nt
to restrain trade.

Mr.. Gowen said the railroads had come
to a time when they did not consider
cheapness in their operations so much
as they considered safety. He was salts

Ship Subsidies Discussed.

Mr.. Taft was in conference with Rep
resentative Humphrey of Washington for
a brief time this morning. The author of
the Humphrey ship subsidy bill and one
of the strongest advocates of that policy
in the House said he would support the
Gallinger bill. which provides for mail
subvention. 1t is understood that other
interests on the Pacific coast are opposed
to this measure. because no subs dy is
provided for lines of vessels running
from our coast to Australasia, Japan and
China.
This is the trade which we wished to
capture. but are unable to obtain under
the terms OF the present BILL" said Mr.
Humphrey. by the provisions of the
Gallinger bill We will be able to run lines
to South America if we run them below
the. equator, and that will be an entering
wedge in the adoption of a policy Of en-
couraging American shipping on the high
seas"
Mr.. Humphrey said he expected to see
the measure passed by the House, and

President should insure it's early enact
