dependents 10 submit their protests
against the plan. II was recalled. how
ever, that In the Northern Securities
case the court refused to the Hartman
interests permission to intervene be-
cause OF the disapproval OF the Attorney
General TO the intrusion Of outsiders.
In the present instance, Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham. who acted as the
spokesman after the private confer
ences. said on several occasions that all
concerned would have an opportunity
to present their views at the public
hearings which the judges had agreed
to hold after the plan had been filed
with the court.
The detailed plan as filed asks for an
extension OF the time for putting 1t into
operation to March /. 1912. and also
asks that the court enjoin all persons
from interfering with the carrying out
Of the plan.
The Extent Of Business Controlled.
The tables filed with the plan show
that the four companies which are to
take the place OF the American To-
bacco Company and whose stock Is TO
be held by the holders of the common
stock Of the trust, will control the to-
bacco business Of the country according

Cigarettes, 5000 per cent; smoking to-
bacco. 1851 per cent; plug tobacco S0.95
per cent: fine cut tobacco. 1885 per cent;
cigars. 1886 per cent little cigars. 9S.O5
per cent.
Another table shows the relative own
crship of voting stock that will be held
by the twenty-nine individual defend
ants in the aggregate in the proposed
new companies In the present company
the preferred stock has no voting power,
and the twenty-nine individual defend

stock This does not include the large

their families. who will also receive

regard it as a plain subterfuge which de-

This was the comment yesterday "
James c. McReynods on the reorganiza-
ton plan of the American Tobacco Com
pany. Mr.. McReynolds is the special
Assistant Attorney General who pre-
pared the suit against the Tobacco Trust
in 1907, and upon whom fell the princi-
pal work Of prosecuting the case. After
the Supreme Court handed down its
mandate dissolving the Tobacco Trust
Mr.. McReynolds, at the request Of At
torney General Wickersham. accepted
the task of aiding the Department OF
Justice in the proceeding for the dissolu-
ton Of the trust in compliance with the
decree Of the court.
It's an old story TO me" Mr. Nc
Reynolds added. but Of course AttOr-
ney General Wickersham must speak for
the government. He is the governments
mouthpiece in this case" He explained
that the Attorney General was on tour
in the West and would not be in this
city until next week. at which time the
governments reply would be prepared
and filed in the Circuit Court in accord
ance with the stipulation made at the
last private conference with the judges
and the Tobacco Trusts attorneys.
The attorneys for r. P. Richardson,
jr & Co and the Independent interests
were greatly elated over the stand taken
by Mr.. McReynolds. He might have
put a couple Of swear words in, but
that's the only way I can see that he
could have strengthened IT," was the
smiling remark Of Charles r. Carruth,
chief counsel for the Richardson's. 4
don't think the Attorney General will
use language quite as strong, but from
what I observed during the conferences
I am quite certain that his opinion will
not diveree greatly from that Of Mr.. Nc
Reynolds"

Trust bttorneYs Silent.

Tie attorneys for the trust refused 20
make any comment on the criticism Of
Mr.. McRcynolds, but from one of the
men who attended the private confer
ences it was learned that the opposition
II the government was expected when
the plan was filed.
When the first plan 20 reorcanizc the
trust bv breaking Il mp into three prin-
cipal companies was submitted. early in
August. Mr.. McRevnolds refused 10 con-
slider it at all. and the plan was with
drawn for modification" At the next
private conference the trusts attorneys
suggested certain provisions regarding
the voting powers Of the preferred stock
holders and other details, but Mr.. Nc
Reynolds assumed the position that this
meant only q masking, a continued mo-
nopoly behind the three-company scheme,
and remained opposed TO IL.
His opposition 10 the present plan Is
understood 10 be based on the same
grounds. Charles r. Carruth explained
the situation yesterday as follows:
The value Of the American Tobacco
Company common stock lies IN the mo-
nopoly privilege which the company en-
lows. II mas outstanding S40Whoo0 Of
common stock, which has paid $4,000
600 in dividends since 1901 and has now
a market value of over $50 0OOD1. The
problem which the trusts attorneys have
had put up 10 them IS 70 produce some
plan that the court will call establishing
q fairly competitive condition, while in
reality continuing the monopoly in the
hands where 1t now lies.
In this way the values that now lie
in the common stock Of the American
Tobacco Company will be continued in
the stocks of the new companies. to be
distributed among the common stock
holders Of the trust.
Suggests a Receiver.
THE obvious way TO end the monopoly
would be 10 put the American Tobacco
COMPANY into the hands Of a receiver.
This is the alternative which the trusts
attorneys constantly face IN their en-
deavors TO preserve 10 the twenty-nine
individual defendants who hold SO per
cent Of the common stock Of the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company their grip on the
S1GOOOOGOO which il now theirs by
virtue Of the monopoly"
Mr.. Carruth said that the Richardson
company would have TO file an amend
ment 10 their protest submitted to the
court on October > on account Of the
many changes made in the plan since the
last conference. The detailed plan was
filed in the United States Circuit Court
Yesterday morning, and the Judges is
