UNITED CIGAR STORES NOW ON DEFENSIVE

Washington. Dec. 9.-The resolution
to investigate the United Cigar Stores
introduced by Representative Reilly Of
Connecticut, is especially interesting il
the light of the sale of the Riker-Heg
eman chain of drug stores to indi
Viduals or groups controlling the af
fairs of the United This transaction
the completion of which was reported
after the introduction of Mr.. Reilly's
resolution, has created wide discus
sien. In this connection, Mr. Reilly
says:
- 1T appears to be the opinion ot
many of the Independent cigar dealers
that the United Cigar Stores Company
is combination in restraint of trade
The purpose of the investigation
is to bring out the facts as to its
status, control, ownership and opera
lions throughout the country"
That the proposed investigation is
likely to be pressed warmly would
seem to be indicated by late reports
that the two companies concerned
win be even more closely combined
than was at first thought, even main
tanning their respective lines in the
same stores This is held in some
quarters to discredit the claim of Of
dcials Of the companies that the pur-
chase was personal venture and
that the United Cigar Stores Com
pany is not involved in its corporate
capacity.

HANISH CASE CALLED.
Head of Sun Cult Charged with Mis-.
use of the Mails.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-The trial Of Otto
man Zar-Adush Hanish, high priest of
the Mazdaznan Sun cult. charged with
sending objectionable matter through
the mails, was begun here today in the
United States district court before
Judge Mack. Hanish-Precepts and say
ings in the Green book and another
volume entitled Inner Life are relied
on. by the prosecution to impress the
judge.
Mrs. William Lindsay, a wealthy wo-
man Of Philadelphia. who has the title
of "Vahdah" in the cult, and her young
son William, are expected to testify.
The government also depends on Rich
ard Hanish, who told the federal grand
jury that the socalled high priest was
his son and that the latter was born
in the United States instead Of Persia
as he claims.
Detectives who raided the Hanish
temple found a large assortment Of the
high priests literature. One hint in
in printed form was that violet salad"
was good for cancer. Followers Of the
defendant are said to aggregate 1900
in various parts of the country. A
man who sat beside him was said to
be a wealthy convert Of Pennsylvania.
Prospective jurors were asked in par
ticular II they would be prejudiced
against Hanish because he was called
high priest and little master by his
adherents
