WRESTLING BOUT is
YET TO BE FINISHED.
Whltver Gets One Fall and Match was
Called Off for. Want Of
Time.


: Local wrestling enthusiasts gathered
in the Opera House at the appointed
time last Friday evening to see our
local wrestler, w. R. Whitver, meet
w. ]. Burke of Gwinner.i There was
quite number present to see the bout.
Ere Referee Mike Pestka announced
the opening preliminaries, several bets
were placed at even money.
Two local grapplers, Messrs. Cotton
and Davis, put up a game five minute
tussle as preliminary, Cotton getting
the fall on hold which the sporting
editor" cannot recall the name for;
anyway it was body hold which made
it necessary for Davis to bend his head
foreward and land on his shoulders so
as not to get his brains severely Jared
when coming in contact with the mat.
The main event of the evening fol-
lowed. The tall, lanky, 1888 pound
Burke was introduced, and then the
stoutly built, 165 pound Whitver was
presented. The two shook hands, and
lost no time in getting down to work.
The visitor took the defensive end right
from the start. AS the minutes passed
by, more and more enthusiasm was
shown by the spectators, and in about
Is minutes half the audience was stand
ing watching every move on the mat.
"Walt" did not give his opponent much
comfortable rest as he would soon work
a half Nelson on him and disturb the
peaceful pose.
At the end of the first five minutes
it looked as though our LEGAL man was
outwinded but he got on the defensive

teeration.

New York, Oct. SO.--The proposed
plan for reorganization of the tobacco
trust. submitted by the American To
bacco company and co-defendants to
the government antitrust suit, was
both praised and condemned before
the circuit court judges of the United
States for the southern distrj It OF New
York.
After Attorney General -Wickersham
had fled the governments answer to
the plan, counsel for the defendants
pleaded with the court to accept the
dissolution proposal. Lewis Cass Led
yard. urging for the defendants. In
sisted that it was an honest plan to
comply with the requirements In the
mandate Of the Supreme court for
reorganization that will restore COM
petition In compliance with the terms
of the Sherman antitrust law.
Supporting the plan, representatives
of the preferred stockholders and bond
holders OF the American Tobacco and
constituent companies urged approval
of the division of the trust into four
principal segregated companies to be
operated absolutely independent OF
each other.
Choate Urges Acceptance.
In support OF these interests there
appeared Joseph H. Choate and others
who insisted that the reorganization
plan was sincere one. and pleaded
that no hostile elements be permitted
absolutely to destroy 1t. though It
might be subject to some amendment
calculated 10 assure protection to the
property, rights of citizens.
Independent manufacturers. dealers
and producers of tobacco unanimously
disapproved the plan on the ground
that it would rot result in effectually
breaking up the trust, and that 1t is
sham proposal to divide the prop
critics, control of which still would be
retained by the group of individuals
now dominating the industry.
Louis ID. Brandeis of Boston made
the principal argument against the
proposal. and sought to convince the
court that 1t would be impossible to
bring about thereby a restoration OF
the competitive system In the trade.
Wickersham Cautions Court.
The answer Of the attorney general
did not express general opposition to
the dissolution plan, but contained for
the guidance OF the court many re-
strictions deemed necessary to assure
restoration of competition In The TO-
bacco industry. IL ----4.----....--
Maintaining that It was impossible
for the court to determine in advance
whether a plan actually will accom-
plish effective competition. the attor-
ney general requested that right be
reserved to the government to apply
to the court any time within five years
for other relief upon q showing that
the plan did not result in new condi-
ton in harmony with the law.
Judges Lacombe, Ward. Coke and
Moves. who are hearing the argu-
ments. took active part in the dis
cussion. When the argum ;nts are
concluded It is expected that the
judges will take the case under ad-
visement for some time before an
nouncing decision.
