The bill for a review filed by otto ,.
Jonas. an independent tobacco dealer In
an effort to have the dissolution decree OF
the United States Circuit Court OF APP
meals in the case Of the Tobacco Trust
set aside. was dismissed yesterday by
J;,dge Mayer The courts action ended

co dealers TO upset the dissolution plan.
The Court Of Appeals. In November

the plan 10 be filed. Jonas filed his bill on
the dfty-nnth day. He claimed That

were Disseminated against by the Metro

The American Tobacco Company ana
tho United Cigar Stores Company entered
demurrers. contending that Jonas was not
entitled to any objection. because ne was
not a party to the dissolution suit. Ex-
Attorney General Wickersham disagreed

tion. practically sustained the demurrers

FOLKS ASSAlLS ALDERMEN
Public Interest Neglected, Hints
Majority Leader.

Alderman Ralph Folks. majority leader
of the Board Of Aldermen, gave out yes
terday a statement crticising the mem
bers of the board for their failure to take
affirmative action on important matters
Declaring that things IN the board had
reached crisis and that next Tuesdays
meeting would be decisive. he added:
The question is now being asked. Why
n Board Of Aldermen? 1t is needless 10
say that any board that delays and re-
fuses TO pass proper legislation in accord
ance with public interest. regardless OF
politics, has no justification for its ex-
istence. The present board has passed
proper and important ordinances relative
to markets and speed regulations. 1t has
also made thorough investigation Of the
Police Department.
There remain however. important
measures relative TO taxicabs. motion
pictures and the building code. which have
been in preparation for several months.
Il believe and hope that the members
Of the board at next Tuesdays session
will demonstrate TO the public that proper
action IS being taken relative TO measures
OF public interest which are ready for con-
sideration. In the mean time the burden
Of proof rests with various members or
the board to show that public interest
comes first and private interest last
