TOBACCO TaUST CASE.
''TRUST BUSTER" MAKES ORAL
PLEA FOR DISSOLUTION.
Touches New Side OF Case-POints
Out That Government Is Acting Un-
der the Wilson Tariff Law OF 1894.


Washington. Jan. 7.-Oral argu-
ments directed at the proposed disso-
luton Of the so-called tobacco trust"
were begun late today in the supreme
court OF the United States.
AS year ago, when the dissolution
suit was argued for the first time be-
fore the court, so today j. c. Nc
Reynolds. special assistant to the
attorney general, in charge Of the
tobacco fight for the government,
made the opening address to the
court. He had not concluded his re-
marks when court adjourned until
Monday.
Mr.. McReynolds surprised some
members Of the court by stating that
the dissolution was asked not only
under the Sherman antitrust law,
but under the Wilson tariff act Of
1894.
He told the court this was the first
case ever brought under the Wilson
tariff act. The act, he explained, ap-
Piled to instances Of restraint Of trade
where an importer was a party He
pointed to the Wilson act as the con-
gressional Interpretation Of the Sher-
man act. Nearly the entire time that
Mr.. McReynolds spoke was devoted TO
history OF the so-called tobacco
trust" from the time the first Amer
lean Tobacco company was organized
In 1890 for the alleged purpose of
effecting monopoly in the cigarette
trade and thus avoiding competition
Of independent corporations down to
the incorporation In 1904 Of the new
American Tobacco company as a hold
ing company. controlling s5 COM
panies interested In various branches
Of the tobacco business.
He described the plug war" about
1892 resulting In the organization of
the Continental Tobacco company, by
which. he alleged, peace was restored
and competition OK Independents was
eliminated. He. told Of similar combi-
natlcnsi IN tha snuff cigar and stesie
trade.
These combinations he described as
designed to remove competition.
Finally. he turned to the 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, the
American trust" taking the United
States and Cuba for It's own; the Brit
ish trust" Great Britain, Ireland and
the Isle Of Man and the British-Amer-
lean Tobacco company, organized by
the two trusts" carrying on the to-
bacco business In the rest Of the
world. AS a result Of these combi-
nations he alleged that competition
for the purchase Of leaf tobacco had
been eliminated in the United States

about rs miles in 81 minutes.
Very few people saw Ward begin

turned eastward, crossed the Cooper
: and Wando rivers and the harbor at a
height Of about 1000 feet.
Reaching Sullivan's Island at the
northern entrance Of the harbor, and
on which Fort Moultrie Is situated
he circled back over the harbor at q
height of about 1000 feet, passing
close to Castle Pinckney. Heading
seaward again. he passed directly
: over Fort Sumter at the entrance OF
the harbor and swept for a distance OF
about mile and half over the
waters of the open Atlantic. Turn.
ing he flew about the Isle Of Palms
and Sullivan's Island and landed or
