Official of Richmond Plant

Richmond Va, Eay So.-The Supreme

viewed with little concern by the oper-
atipg officials OF the American Tobacco
Company's huge factories here.

for snuff. is increasing. Manuiactuii"s

following statement:
The Supreme Court OF the United states

Mr. Fuller said that 1t would take
long time to work out plan for the read
justment and he intimated that the law
yers for the American Tobacco Company
and for its subsidiary companies would be
in daily conference over the matter from

The difficulty that the directors and law
yers for the Tobacco Trust seemed 70 be
most concerned about vas that or re-
moulding their business upon lines when
would meet with the approval OF the court.
So far as could be seen. the threat az dis
solution or a federal receivership did not
seem 20 he worrying them.

Question Of Receiver When Solvent.

one of the lawyers thought it would he
a question whether a receiver could be
thus appointed to handle the affairs of
perfectly solvent concern. The court, Of
course could order the dissolution OF the
trust, he admitted, but the method Of ap-
pointing receiver bordered on conflsca-
ton. and would establish q precedent which
might he grossly misused on some other
occasion. Such a point, if fought out
through the courts and up TO the Supreme
Court again. would entail long delay on
the working out Of the courts mandate.
Whatever plan is settled upon finally by
the heads and counsellors Of the Tobacco
Trust. it seemed likely it's preparation
would take about all the time allowed the
company by the Supreme Courts decision.

FIGHTING DOGS START FIRE
Animals Battle to the Death
While Flames Rage.

Persons living near the home of Mrs
William H. CASTLE. OF No. 9l4 10Th street,
Brooklyn, were alarmed last night when
they heard the snarling and growing of
ferocious dogs, battling to the death.
Tracing the sounds to Mrs. CASTLES home,
they found smoke and flame pouring from
the windows of the house, while the yelps
of the dogs made themselves heard above
the roaring of the flames.
When fremen arrived In response 10 the
cries Of the neighbors they found the en-
tire floor occupied by Mrs. CASTLE ablaze.
After drowning the fire under tons or
water, the firenlen entered the building and
found Mrs CASTLES. two dogs, Don Carlos,
a bull and Savage, a bull terrier, lying on
the kitchen floor. The animals were both
dead. their bodies burned to a crisp. saw
age had his teeth fastened In Don's neck.
and IL Is evident that the vicious beasts
fought to the death, even while the IRE
roared about them.
Mrs CASTLE said that she mad gone out
last evening. Leaving the two dogs tied up
in separate rooms She knew that they
would fight if left together and thought
she had avoided that danger by separating
them. II Is the belief Of the fremen that
one of the dogs upset an oil lamp on the
kitchen table The damage was estimated
at 81, 900

found themselves PROSTATE on the

Down the broad stretch of Metropol-

path. At the juncture Of Metropolitan

Creek flows placidly. 1t was so flowing
when the mustang bore down toward Its

horse cleared the low fence alongside the
