TOBACCO TRUST CASE

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1s.-Attorney-
General Wickersham left Washington
tonight for New York, where he ex-
poets to present tomorrow the gov
ernment's side before the court In the
matter of the reorganization of the
tobacco trust.
The government plan is one of great
public concern as 1t is believed the
department of justice will reveal by
the attorney general q precedent for
reorganization at least In cases which
are parallel with that OF the tobacco
trust. The attorneygeneral, however.
has pointed out IN the American that
there IL no hard and fast rule and
that beca- sc OF the variety of in
terests in the great causes before him
1t would be difficult to present what
might be termed a plan OF universal
application.
Nevertheless. the views OF the at
torney-general VIII be heard with
widespread interest becans 1t is known
that some general principle must be
announced governing cases which
come back to the courts for practical
dissolution after the determination Of
the original suit by the United States
Supreme Court
