NEW YORK TOBACCO
COMPANY TO BE SUED

WASHINGTON, March 1o.-Attorney
General McReynolds tonight decided to
prepare suit against the Metropolitan To-
bacco company OF New York. under the
Sherman antitrust act The decision
was based upon evidence of alleged re-
straints OF trade by the Metropolitan
company laid before Mr., McKeynolds to-
day by II. Snowden Marshall United
States district attorney 1T New York,
and his assistant, 9. a. Thompson, who
has had charge OF the investigation OF
the case.
The principal complaint against the
Metropolitan company is alleged discrimi-
nations against independent tobacco
dealers. The Metropolitan acts as the
distributing agents for producing com
panies that made up the old tobacco
trust" and while II would be the prin-
cIpal defendant in suit brought by the
government. the producing companies
would necessarily be parties 10 the ac-
ton.

Failure to Act on Mex
lean Outrages.

WASHINGTON, March l0.--Compre-
hensiye reports from Brigadier General
Bliss. commanding the American border
patrol, and from American Consul
Garrett st Laredo, received at the war
and state departments today, cleared
up the mystery concerning the de-
livery oD American soil of the body of
Clemeute Vergara, the American horse
trader. The reports satisfied officials
that no act has been committed by
national or state agents in violation OF
Mexican sovereignty, and that If there
was anv offense in the removal Of the
body from Mexico il was committed
bv individuals. so the question could
not be made sn international issue.
Attitude of Bryan.
Secretary Bryan asserted be would
not undertake 10 prosecute the persons
who obtained the body. even If he
knew their identity, which be did not,
beyond the fact established by General
Bliss report that they were civilians
and probably MeIicaps.
The finding Of the body Of Vergsra
has had the result of advancing. the
prosecution of the claim against the
Huerta government for reparation, and
today Secretary Bryan transmitted the
report from Consul Garrett TO Charge
. 'Shaughncssy in Mexico City. IL is
understood that the primary purpose
of this is to disprove the original al
legation Of the Mexican federal com.
