PUTS o. X. ON TOBACCO CASE
Federal Circuit Court Approves Re-
organization Plan.

New York The litigation which
the federal government began
four and a half years ago to break
up the American Tobacco company as
a monopoly in restraint of trade ap-
preached completion by judicial ac-
ceptance, with few notifications, of
the plan which the tobacco company
drew up for dissolution, in accordance
with a mandate of the United States
Supreme court. The decision of ap-
prevail was filed by Judge Lacombe of
the United States circuit court, and
supplementary opinions were filed by
Judges Coke and Noyes, concurring
generally with Judge Newcombe.
The court in it's decision says that
provision should be made in carry
ing out the plan for keeping intact
the books and records of the American
Tobacco company, and its present
constituents and branches so that
they shall be available and subject
to explanation to the same extent as
at present, in suits for accounting and
other existing litigation.

shall Schmidt took the books and
records of the American Association OF

eral grand jury room upon orders is
sued by Federal Judge Anderson.
The verbal order of Judge Marley
of the Marion county criminal court
that the Indiana Trust company, in
whose vaults the books and records
were stored, that they not be turned
over to anyone until the state SUI
preme court had an opportunity to
pass on the appeal of Attorney Rap

taken following a report from the
grand jury that they were unable to
get the evidence on it's subpoenas
duces tecum. Judge Anderson i'm
mediately inquired concerning the
cause, which developed the fact that
the trust company was holding the
documents on verbal order of Judge
Markey, who previously had ruled
that they be turned over to the federal
authorities.

Libel on stenmothers.

One of London's prominent medical
men has got himself dtsiiked' by
the stepmothers of all nations. The
basis of his offending is his public as
sertion that "all stepmothers are in
stinctively cruel to stepchildren.
Such a statement is regarded, very
Justly, as in the nature of wholesale
libel. In fact, every observing man
and woman in the civilized world can
recall plenty of instances proving the
falsity of the doctors charge.
This London libeler would find oc-
casion for apology to the women he
maligns by reading the history of the
boyhood of Abraham Lincoln and OF
the devotion of the stepmother of thai

WINGED THIEVES OF EGYPT
Kites and Crows Rob Tea Tables and
Steal Golf Balls From the
Links.

Out at Gezira, where all Cairo has
its rendezvous at the Sporting club
every afternoon in and out of season,
crows. No sooner are the tea tables
laid out than the former, who have
been perched on the qui vive on the
adjacent trees, start circling round
and round. With a sudden dive one
of these hawklike birds will swoop
down on the table he has chosen and
pick off the bread and butter and
cake.
New arrivals in Egypt are always
very disconnected by these antics. It
matters not how many people are
seated around the tables. The kite is
no respecter of persons and on one
crowded afternoon last season, when
the German crown princess was TAX
ing tea, l remember seeing no fewer
than eight tables swept of their eat
ables by as many kites in the space OF
a few minutes.
These monster birds add to the ter
Tor which they strike to the heart Of
the new arrival by the fact that their
flight is so sudden and the theft is
committed without stopping. They de-
scribe a curve, the lowest point OF
which is the plate of bread and butter
or cake, and so accurate is their de-
scent that rarely do they leave or drop
anything. An amusing factor in this
@otherwise rather annoying situation
is furnished by the crows, who invari-
ably act as scouts for the kites, and
the presence of whom, hopping about
the grass, always precedes one of
these depredatory flights.
When the coup has been success
fully brought off the crows evince
their pleasure by ear splitting caws,
and proceed to follow the plunderer
at a respectful distance, possibly in
order to express their unbOunded ad-
miration in the vain hope of obtain
ing a few crumbs. On the golf course
the kites are a source of endless trou'

The stepmother in the Classics.

The ancients were as bitter on the
subject of the stepmother as any mod
ern could be- Their metaphorical uses
of these words for a stepmother are
cruelty significant. Thus the Romans
had an expression ito complain to
stepmother" (noverca), meaning to
complain in vain; and "novercae," be-
ginning, no doubt, as slang, came to
be a recognized term for rough pieces
of land or for bitches which drained
off the water imperfectly and slowly.
The Greeks were as bad with their
word. "metryix." Hesiod spoke of
lucky and unlucky days as mother
and stepmother days." and Aeschylus
brands a dangerous seacoast as "a
stepmother to ships"

MAC VEAGH TO APPEAL
FOR BANKING REFORM
Secretary Will Make Vigorous Repre-
sentation to Next Congress for
New Currency Laws.

Washington. - Secretary MacVeagh
will make vigorous appeal
to congress when it assemblies in
December for immediate banking ano
currency reform legislation.
He expressed the confident belief
that financial law will be enacted,
for. he declared, 1T will hurt any
party to get in the way of having
something done. whether it be the
or the Democrats
Mr. MacVeagh Endorsed the revised
AIdrich plan of reform, and with some
notifications will recommend it to
congress as a means of meeting the
urgent needs of the situation He be
Iieved sentiment in favor Of the Ma
tional Reserve association idea, the
dominant feature Of the AIdrlch plan,
was growing throughout the country
Mr.. MacVeagh declared he did not
approve of national banks, through
the medium of securities companies,
holding stocks of other banks. This
is the principle involved in the rela-
tionship of the National City bank OF
New York to the National City COM
pany, and in the relationship OF banks
and trust companies in about 300 cases
throughout the country
While, he said, he could not say the
practice was Illegal, he regarded it as
unwise, because it was fraught with
the danger of concentration of the
banking power of the country, which
would surely arouse the suspicious OF
congress and the public.
