TOBACCO DECISION
ANTICIPATED TODAY.
Regarded as Most Complicated of the
Antitrust Cases.

Washington, May 2s.-After a four
years contest the so-called tobacco
trust case will probably be disposed
of tomorrow by the supreme court of
the United States. 1t will be the last
day of the present term, and unless
the case is reached then it's decision
will be postponed until next October
at least.
Many regard the case as the most
complicated suit that has ever reached
the supreme court a sa result of the
Sherman antitrust act. Instead of
there being only one combination to
be dealt with, as in the Standard Oil
case, decided by the court two weeks
ago, the lower court held that there
were five unlawful combinations.
These were the American Tobacco
company, the American Snuff company,
the American Cigar company, the
American Stogie company, and the
&c Forbes company, the
last named being concerned in the
manufacture of lieorfce paste. These
were restrained from engaging in in
terstate commerce.
In addition to these five combina-
tions, the lower court found that there
were seven corporations which held
stock in some thirty or forty other cor
poratiens which called for attention.
