Was Increased by Decision.
Washington, Aug. 13.-That the to-
bacco trust, instead of being dissolved
by the decree of the supreme court Of
the United States, has increased its
monopolistic control of tobacco man
ufactures, was asserted in the senate
by Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska. in
discussing the tobacco schedule of the
tariff bill.
Mr.. Hitchcock announced that he
would later offer his amendment. He
said that the four companies which
formed the tobacco trust had grown
richer since the supreme courts dis
solution decree and that the tobacco
monopoly was greater and stronger
than ever.
He declared that the late Anthony
N Brady probably was richer than
the late J. P. Morgan, that he was one
of the defendants in the tobacco trust
suit and that since the decree his for
tune had swelled more than $10,000,-
900 through the enhancement of his
tobacco holdings alone.

How the youth got into the river i:
a mystery. After he was dragged ou

of the Sedgely Boat club, who dis

whom Allison summoned to his aid
he was sent to the German hospital

was a dead body lying on the mud

youth from the mud. He had been
resting on one side, with hand un-

to sleep. Allison expressed the belief
that only the hand under the cheek
had kept Burke's nose and mouth
above water until he was rescued.
The youth was apparently in a
stupor at first and unable to talk. At
the hospital it was said that he was
not injured, but was suffering severely

while you were in the water did
you yell for help?" was another ques-

Francis shook his head, although at
that time he may not have compre-

One theory is that Francis had been
walking along the west bank of the
river, when he ventured out on the
slime covered rocks that line the
shore. 1t is likely that he slipped and
could not afterwards extricate himself.
