SUIT AGAINST
 TOBACCO COMPANY
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL FILE ANTITRUST SUIT AGAINST
 NEW YORK CONCERN.
Alleges Restraint of Trade on the Part of the Metropolitan Tobacco Con. pany.

Washington. March 10.-Attorney General McReynolds tonight decided to prepare suit against the Metropoli- tan Tobacco Company of New York under the sherman act The decision was based on evidence of alleged re- straint of trade laid before MT. Mo Reynolds today by IT. Snowdea Mas- shall, United States district attorney at New York, and his assistant, c. A. Thompson, who aas investigated the case.
 The principal complaint against the Metropolitan company is alleged dis crimination against independent deal CTS. The Metropolitan acts as distrip, uting agent for producing companies that made up the old tobacco trust And while it would be principal de fendant producing companies neces- sarily would be parties to the action. The question of criminal prosecution~ of officials of the companies was not settled today.
 The Metropolitan company has been under investigation for several months Independent dealers have charged that it's grip on the business of Greater New York, Long Island and Jersey City is firm and powerful and that they are in worse condition than be. fore the dissolution of the old Amer. ican Tobacco company.
 According to MT. MarshalPs report investigation. has shown taht the Met. ropolitan sells to independent jobbers at the same rates it sells to retailers so that jobbers handle Metropolitan goods at no profit at all.
 Officials of the disintegrated com panies of the old American Tobacco company, which use the Metropolitan company as distributing agent, havs talked with department officials about Ia severance of their relations and as a result the understanding here is that conspiracy in restraint of trade will not be charged in the governmen, suit, though action would be based on the allegation that Is restraint oi trade.

 The absence of anything like real race track did not stop the Little Rock auto bugs in their enthusiasm for speed an with the assistance of tAe city one of the main streets of Little Rock will be closed Friday afternoon, when several of the drivers will show the public what the 100 miles an hou, craze means
 Right down the public highway. guarded, of course. as closely as the gates of a prison, will rush the great speed machines passing directly in front of the governor, who will be the guest of honor. And the Pathe Week. ly moving picture man and all the other incidentals will be included, as the enthusiasm of Little Rock has never been approached by a city in the previous history of automobile sport
 There will be no racing or anything that will approach it, as the drivers have reserved that particular feature for the Hot Springs meet. And that the Little Rock auto followers are go ing to see the whole entertainment, is evidenced by the way they are sending in reservations for tickets h fact, already the railroads have begun their arrangements for the special trains to haul the crowds to Hot Springs next Tuesday and seyera hundred will make the trip in theil autos.

 AL CRIME IS COMMITTED.
IN TIE VERGARA INCIDENT
Citizens, and Mexicans at That, Went Over the Rio Grande and Brouqht Back the Body of the Ranchman Murdered by Mexicans.

Washington, March t0-Comprehea slVe reports from Brig Gen. Bliss and American Consul Garrett at Laredo received at the war and state depart. ments today cleared up the mystery which had surrounded the delivery. on American soil of the body of the American rancher, Clemeate Vergara The reports completely satisfied the officials that no act has been commn ted by national or state agents in vfo. lation of Mexican sovereignty and that if there were any offense in the re. moyal of the body from Mexico 1t was committed by individuals. so the matter could not be made an inter- nationaal issue
 Secretary Bryan stated that he would not undertake to prosecute the persons who obtained the body even if he knew their identity, which he did not, beyond the fact established by Gen. Bliss report that they were civilians and probably Mexicans.
 The finding of the body of Vergara has had the result of advancing the prosecution of the claim against the Huerta government for reparation and today Secretary Bryan transmitted the telegraphic report from Consul Gar rett to Charge 'Shaughnessy in Mex ico City It is said that the primary purpose of this is to disprove the or iginal allegation of the Mexican fed eral commander at Nuevo Laredo that Vergara had made his escape from captivity and joined the rebels.
 With the body in evidence. as soon as further facts as to the character of Vergaras fatal wounds are devel- oped by the investigation Gov, Col quitt is making, MT. O'Shaughnessy will be prepared to call upon Gen Huerta to redeem his promise to pun ish the federal officers who killed Vergara.

Chicago. March 10.-Charles Ii Mover, president of the Western Fed eration of Miners, tonight told the con gressional committee Investigating the Michigan copper strike, of his de- portation from the mining district last December. A specal session was held to hear Movers testimony.
 Three men, Mover said, came to his hotel room in Hancock on the night of his deportation They asked him if he would receive a large committee of citizens, and on agreeing to this Mover said fifteen or eighteen other men entered the room. They asked him if he would permit the citizens to contribute to the relief of the sur. vivors of the Christmas eve disaster at Italian hail.
 Mover replied that he had not told the members of the Federation they should not accept outside help in car ing fer their dead, but said the fami. lies felt they ought not to and that he would not advise them to accept relief contributed by those outside the Federation.
 Mover told the committee that A. l z. Petermanl, attorney fer the min ing companies, as spokesman for the committee, insisted that Mover was I responsible for the attitude of the bereaved families and but for his ad- vising them they would have accepted the assistance proffered.
 When the committee left Mover said he went to the telephone to call an official of the Calumet Union.
 The telephone was beside the door" he said, and while I was plac' ing the receiver to my ear the door opened and my room was filled with men. Tanner was the only person with me The crcwd demanded where is Mover? Thinking it was the same committee returning, l said: 'here 1 am, gentlemen; what is it now?' A man seized me and pushed me backward, hitting me with his hand. Another bent me over forward until I was almost doubled up. Stii another man struck me with a reyol yer on the head.
