THE TOBACCO TRUST.

Gross oyercapitalization, excessive prof
its and the diversion of the major portion
of these profits from the stockholders in
general TO the group of men in control
were charged in the second part of the re-
port Of Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner
of Corporations, on the American Tobacco
Company and its subsidiaries, a summary
of which was made public. Since the issue
of the first part of Mr.. Smiths report the
American Tobacco Company has been de-
nounced by the Supreme Court as COM
bination in restraint Of trade, and its dis
solution has been ordered Mr.. Smith says
that the earnings of the trust have far eX-
ceeded the earnings Of its competitors,
being about two and a half times the
average level of earnings on its share of
the business. adding: These enormous
profits resulting from the imitation of the
securities and the dividends paid thereon
rest, in their ultimate analysis, upon the
monopolstic advantages obtained in this in
dustry through concentration of control.
After a long conference by counsel for
the American Tobacco Company and Presi-
dent Duke, one of the lawyers announced
that a plan for the reorganization of the
company, while not yet completed would
be filed next week. BY the reorganization
the American Tobacco Company will be
split into three or four major companies,
each having subsidiaries Three Of the
companies will be known as the American
Tobacco Company. the Il. Lorllard Com
pany and the Liggett Meyer Company.

TRUST MAGNATEs WARNED.


HAS anything significant developed in
the field Of commerce. asked Busy Man
"The alarming reports as TO Impending
prosecution of the Steel Trust ana other
large corporations popularity CLASSIFIED IN
the trust category were met with an en-
phatic statement on the part OF George w.
Wickersham. Attorney General, that the
Department of Justice did not contemplate
n campaign against the business interests
OF the country or an indiscrlminate attack
on all large prosperous concerns. Oh the
contrary Mr.. Wickersham said, the care
and caution with which the law officers or
the government are proceeding TO the eX-
animation OF each case should be a guar
antee to the country that the department
is proposing to enforce the law with care
not to unnecessarily injure any interests
"As to the policy Of the government 10
enforce the Sherman antitrust law, Mr..
Wickersham simply referred TO the state
ments made recently by himself and by
President Taft. In speaking directly Of the
United States Steel Corporation he said 1t
should go without saying that a great,
complex combination Of corporations under
centralized control. dominating the trade
of the country in an important industry
would not escape the careful study and
consideration of the department.
"A statement signed by j. Pierpont Nor
gan and ex-Judge Ebert II. Gary set at
rest the rumors that the United states
Steel Corporation was contemplating dlsso-
luton or disintegration either voluntarily
or at the demand Of the federal govern
ment It is the belief Of the directors or
the company that the organization is legal
and that its management is proper. Ac-
cording TO the statement the directors are
advised by its counsel that its existence Is
not in violation of the Sherman act as in
terpreted In the recent decision OF the Su-
preme Court.

tion. were made in a suit filed in the
United States Court in Denver by the De-

against the Lumber Trust, in addition to

against the secretaries of fourteen lumber

the Michigan and the Eastern States Re-

GRy Telegraph 10 The Tribune
San Francisco. Sept. 30-The primary
election held on Tuesday, resulting in the
overwhelming defeat OF Mayor Mccarthy,
Labor Union candidate, and the selection
Of James Rolph. jr., for Mayor was the
first test Of the new direct primary system
by which those candidates receiving ma
iority at the primary are elected. The new
law proved most satisfactory, and the re-
suits speak well for the intelligence Of the
voters. The vote was the heaviest in the
history of the city, and the size Of the
.ote proves conclusively that the people
Nil 20 10 the polls at a primary If In
crest is aroused. Out OF a total registra-
ion Of something over $1,000 there were
more than $500 votes cast. In some OF
the precincts i'm the better residential por-
tions Of the city over 98 per cent or the
registered votes were cast. Although there
we're more than one hundred candidates for
eighteen supervisors places and there were
no party designations on the ballot the
voters selected with remarkable dlScrlm-
inatlon the men they desired. Practically
all the men indorsed by the municipal con-
ference which nominated Rolph were VIC
torious and will take part in the final con-
test In November. Opposed TO these men
will be a large number Of the present board
who are candidates for reelection. On the
final returns Rolph received 1900 votes,
against $500 for Mccarthy. An analysis
OF the vote shows that Mccarthy was aban-
doned by a large number Of the union
labor leaders His total vote drops 5000
below the vote which elected him two years
ago At that time there were three candi-
dates I'm the field and only plurality was
required TO elect. The decisive defeat or
Mccarthy il is believed. gives a death
hIow 10 union labor in politics, not only IN
the city but in the entire state. The new
urinary law makes IL necessary for labor
TO secure a majority, and this is impossible
