ATTORNEY GENERAL M'REYN0LDs
TAKES POSITION THAT COURT
ORDERS DIDN'T DISSOLVE,
PROPOSES 70 TAX TOBACCO
CONCERNS ON SLIDING SCALE
Holds Conference With Aid Regarding
Possible vloiation Of Order by Stan.
dard Oil cempany-AImost q Panic
on Wall etrsst Because Of Attitude Of
Administration.

Washington, June 4.-Attorney Gem
era1 McReynolds has plan to cure
some Of the alleged evils Of the alleged
tobacco trust" which he believes the
supreme court dissolution did not
reach. It is to tax the output Of the
way that the big manufacturers will
pay moro and more as their output in
creases. It IL said Mr.. McReynolds has
discussed his plan with President
Wilson.
While such plan Of taxation could
not be called q tariff ff-for-revenue-o -only
mea sure, Mr.. McReynolds declares it
to be measure to meet the pleas OF
the independent manufacturers that
the dissolution Of the so-called trust
has not relieved them of sitaation
which they say threatens to place them
in as much danger as they were from
the trust" before it was dissolved.
Evils Continue.
Mt. McReynolds never has agreed
with the dissolution of the so-called
monopoly and feels the evils charged
against it still are continuing In other
forms.
In addition to remedying such nj
eaualities the attorney general is still
considering the advisability OF begin
ming an Investigation to determine
whether the decree dissolving the trust
is being violated.
It is pointed out that the United
States court in entering the decree OF
dissolution declined to grant former
Attorney General Wickersham's re-
quest that the government be permit
ted to reopen the decree at any time
during the next five years in case 1t de-
yeloped that the plan Of dissolution
had not accomplished the purposes OF
the Sherman law.
Al "obvious subterfuge."
Attorney General McReynolds today
declared that he had always regarded
the final decree intended to dissolve
the tobacco trust as IAN obvious sub
terfuSe and a miscarriage Of Justice.
and If there were any proper and just
ways by which he could cure the evil
he would do 1t.
Considering Oil Decree.
Mr.. McReynolds today resumed con-
sideration Of the Standard OH situa-
tion, comforting with Charles B. Nor
rison and oliver E. Pagan, his special
assistants, who have devoted months
to an investigation of Oil conditions.
With their report before him 1t VIII
now devolve upon the attorney general
70 decide whether there is prina facie
evidence of violations Of the decree OF
dissolution to justify the government
in attacking the oil interests by con-
tempt cf court or criminal proceedings.

"The handsome man" said his name
was S. w. Mcclure, secretary OF the

but said he believed money was being
used to try to convince people that bad
effects would follow the tariff bill.
Senator McCumber said he produced
wheat, oats, rye. flax and sometimes
potatoes, all of which are "disastrously
affected" by the tariff. No one had at
tempted to influence him, he said, and
he knew of no use of money or OF the
