river.
Hankow, Oct. 20.-The government

''recreating" the American Tobacco Com

ing it, in harmony with the decision OF
the Supreme Court of the United States,
were taken yesterday when announce
ment was made OF the formation OF pro-
tective committees by holders of the per
cent bonds. the per cent bonds and the
preferred stock.
The chairman OF the 6 per cent bond
holders committee is Alexander j. Hemp
Hill. president of the Guaranty Trust
Company. His associates include Albert
III. Wiggin, president of the Chase Ma
ttonal Bank, and T. De Witt Cuyler of
Philadelphia. The committees notice re-
fers to the desire OF the American To-
bacco Company to comply with the order
of the Supreme Court, and urges united
action on the part of the bondholders.
Other Bondholders Represented.
Similar representations are made by the
committee for the per cent bonds, of
which Charles II. Sebin vice president
of the Guaranty Trust Company. is char
man. and the preferred stockholders COM
| mittee, Of which ]. n. Wallace, president
| of the Central Trust Company, Is chair
man.

pressed the opinion that harmony on the
part of the security holders will acceler-
ate the dissolution and reorganization of

| reorganizng the American Tobacco Com
pany has been delegated by the higher
| tribunal.
