ATTACK MADE ON
ELECTRIC COMBINE
MONOPOLY IN CARBON AND IN
cANDESCENT LIGHTS.
Government Regards Prosecution as
More Important Than Standard
Oil Case.

Cleveland, O.-The United States
government began here a fgnt
against what is alleged to be ~ of
the most powerful nj complete mo-
nopOIies in the country, when suit
was filed against thtrty-tive concerns
engaged in the manufacture of mean
descent electric lights.
The National Electric Lamp Com
pany, which has its headquarters here,
and the General Electric Company of
New York are named as two Of the
defendants and are charged with be-
ing the keystone of the trust, which
has its r~amificatiOns in every state
in the Union.
According to the governments Pc
tition, the defendant companies are
banded together in q conspiracy in
restraint of trade and have already
gained control of 81 per cent. of the
country's supply of electric lights.
The trust is alleged to have had its
origin soon after 1904, the year in
which the United States patents on
carbon tilament incandescent lamps
expired.
The petition asserts that the profits
o. the combination as paid in divi-
dends were $50, 900 in 1894, 100000
in 1909 and 100000 in 1910. Last
year the company is said to have held
$ ,439,15S.93 as an undivided surplus.
The capital is now listed at $4,000, 900.
The extent of the industry is shown
in the statement that approximately
10000, 900 lamps are sold in this
country every yea for an aggregate
purchasing amount of SIS, 00O, 900.

100000 ROBBERY
IN new YORK BANK
AGED MAN VICTIM OF CROOKS ON
PRODUCE EXCHANGE.
Broker Deposited Envelope Which
Contained Nothing But Old
Newspapers.

New York.-What appears to have
been one Of the bOldest, safest and
successful robberios in the history OF
the fnacial district was developed
Tuesday when Aaron Bancroft, the
oldest active broker in New York.
made the discovery that he had been
tricked out OF nearly $4,000 worth
of securities last Thursday afternoon
in the basement vaults of the Produce
Exchange building
According 10 the excited statement
of old Mr.. Bancroft-he has passed his
S4th birthday and is physically feeble
"a young man knocked him down,
seemingly by accident, in a narrow
hallway as he was on his wa= to the
SAFETY deposit box of his firm, Ban
croft & Co, TO lock up a paper wallet
containing them.
Last Thursday Mr.. Bancroft, as has
been his habit for twenty-five years.
placed securities worth about $780,
GEO in d large envelope bearing the
firms name III the Alone, he
walked the 200 feet from his Office to
the Produce Exchange, thence down
a flight Of steps from the street level
entrance to the vaults.
Just as Mr.. Bancroft was about to
turn the corner at the end of the
corridor into the vaults a tall man
anne running rOunG the corner and
collided with him. The shock threw
Nj. Bancroft off his feet. and in fall
ing he dropped the envelope.
That was the cue for an under
sized young man. h had been lean
ing against the corridor wall. He
stepped up to Mr.. Bancroft, assisted
him to his feet and was sOlicitous to
tuck under his arm an envelope. Mr..
Bancroft, of course, thought it was the
envelope that fell. He went on 10 de-
post il in his box as usual.
Tuesday, when George Bancroft, his
son, unlocked the box, he found that
the only envelope there contained
three old newspapers. A clever sub
stitution had been effected when the
elder Bancroft was upset in the vault
corridor.
