AMERICAN TOBACCO CO..
DECLARES So EXTRA

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October Sin addi-
ton to the regular quarterly dividend
of 50 per share, the board of directors
of the American Tobacco Co. has de-
clared an extra dividend of So per share
on the common stock and common
stock B of that company.
In reply to inquiries, George w. Hill,
president of the company, stated: THE
action of the board of directors today
confirms my belief expressed to stock
holders under date of August %. 1929
when l said that it was my. feeling hat
the board of directors would be justified
during the year 1880, not only in in
creasing the dividend on the American
Tobacco Co.'S common stock, but in
recommending to stockholders such
changes in the company's charter as
would permit splitting of the stock.
THE board has been so gratified with
the progress. and the profits of the COM
pany in the year 1929 that it deems it
only fair to stockholders to declare this
extra dividend of 50 per share, which
makes a total cash dividend of $40 per
share for the year 1929, as my letter 10
stockholders of today explains"

MARMON CAR DIVIDEND
Is VOTED IN ADVANCE

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October 81
G. NJ. williams, president of the Mar
mon Motor Car Co, at a special meeting
of the board of directors late yesterday
recommended that in view of the fact
that it was the intention to declare at
its next meeting the regular quarterly
dividend he proposed that action be
taken at this time.
Mr.. williams stated to the directors
that the weakened condition of h
stock market has assumed such pro-
portions that 1t was his feeling that
corporations of this country who are
in a strong financial position should
inspire public confidence at least to
the extent of making the public realize
that no matter what values a hyper
sensitive market may put on securities
the earning power and net assets OF our
great basic industries are fundamentally
ecu
The directors then voted the regular
quarterly dividend of ST per share on
the common stock of the company pay
able December l to stockholders Of
record on November Is.
The three regular quarterly dividends
so far this year, including the n just
declared, constitute only approximately
so per cent of the Marmon Co.'S earn
ingS during the first six months of this
current fiscal year.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, March 49,
Lieut.. Comdr Virgil Baker. U. S. N, re-
tired. came back yesterday to enjoy
what length he may of his 999-year
lease on Fort San Geronimo. This
tract comprises about IA acres and a
frame house erected on the site of old

The United States Government and
The Porto Rican government brought suit
on the ground that Baker. by repeated
Misrepresentation to the Navy Depart
ment, induced the transfer of the fort
from the Army to the Navy on the claim
that it was urgently needed by the lat
ter and then obtained the property for
his personal use
The Supreme Court recently sustained
Baker, however, and the property was
turned over to him by the commander
of the military district of Porto Rico on
order of the War Department Former
President Coolidge, during his Summer
in the Black Hills, had retranSferred
the reservation from the Navy back to
the Army. The question of the present

Tells Story

Nature controls all the func-
tions of our digestive organs ex-
cept one. We have control over
that, and it's the function that
causes the most trouble.
See that your children form
regular bowel habits, and at the
first sign of bad breath, coated
tongue, biliouSneSS or conStipa-
ton, give them a little California
Fig Syrup. 1t regulates the bowels
and stomach and gives these or
ganS tone and strength so they
continue to act as Nature intends
them to. 1t helps build up and
strengthen pale, listless, under
rich, fruity taste and it's purely
vegetable, so you can give it as
often as your child's appetite lags
or he seems feverisll, cross or
fretful.
Leading physicians have en-
dorsed it for so years, and its
overwhelming sales record of over
four million bottles a year shows
how mothers depend on it. A
Washington mother, Mrs. Carrie
Engle, 634 F st. NE, says: MY
little girl, Gloria, suffers at times
from constipation. She gets
weak, fretful and cross, has no
appetite or energy and food seems
to sour in her stomach. Califor-
mia Fig Syrup has her romping
and playing again in Just a few

effect on her we would never
think Of using anything else"

CAPONE DEMANDS
j. S. PROTECTION
Asks Immunity From Police
While TeStifying Before
~ Federal Probers.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 19-Al Capone
yesterday served notice through his at
torneys that he is ready to testify to-
morrow before the Federal grand jury
investigating liquor law violations in the
Chicago area-provided his constitu-
t:cnal right of immunity from prosecu-
ton is upheld.
The immunity ultimatum was I::,tend-
ed to local police, who desire to queS-
ton him regarding the massacre of
ssven Moran gangsters.
Capone, his attorneys pointed out, is
coming here under a Federal summons,
and the Government will be asked to
protect him from police molestation
during his stay and while he is en- route
back to Florida. He was variously re-
ported as still in Florida or en- route
from Miami. where he has been Winter
ing, to Chicago's less mild climate.
Ready for Court Tilt.
The Federal authorities and the police
did not indicate whether they had &C
cepted any or all of the conditions, but
Capone's attorneys said they were pre-
pared to go into court and get injunc-
lions. restraining orders and other legal
papers to back their demands if there
is trouble.
The police are anxious to learn Ca
pone'S views on the st. Valentines day
gang massacre.
AIS attorneys. William F. Waugh and
Benjamin Epstein. have indicated clear
~ that their client does not want to
theorize on the sudden demise Of the
Moran gangsters.
Owners Blamed for Notoriety.
The Government wants to ask Ca
pone, among other things, why his
name is mentioned every time there is a
liquor raid. To this Capone already has
an answer prepared. He contends that
through the unwelcome newspaper pub
iicity his name has become so well
known that the little fellows think it
will help to intimidate the raiders if
they mention his name as owner of the
raided place.
