TOBACCO CASE APPEAL B! Decision Is Expected Monday ; ,,on Petition of the In- - ''depwdenter"--"""-'" Washington, Dec: 4. The Supreme court of the United' states took under consideration today the application of the Ixa( Tobacco Board of Trade of Nfew York to have that tribunal review the reorganization plan of the Ameri can Tobacco company a decision is expected Monday. ' The government opposed the motion. - The application ror the petition was made by Felix H. Levy, representing the leaf tobacco board or trade of New York, which is composed of about 75 concerns engaged In the bus Inesa of selling leaf tobacco to tobac co manufacturers. In the petition it was stated that the attorneys general or irglnla. North Carolina and South Carolina Joined in tha request for a consideration by the Supreme court of the reorganization plan. The petition asked that the United States Circuit court for southern New York be required to vacate Its recent decree approving the reorganization of the American Tobacco company which had been directed by the Su preme court in lta opinion last May, to disintegrate. Another prayer was that tha Circuit court be directed to send tna case to the Supreme court for review, and to allow the board to Intervene as a party to tha suit which resulted In the dissolution decree of tne supreme court last May. Say Decree la Not, Compiled With. . . in support or the petition, a brief had been prepared for submission to the court , In thia brief Mr. Levy, and hla associate, Benjamin N. Cardoso, argued that the decree of the Circuit court waa not in conformity with the Supreme court's mandate In the to bacco case. The court was told In the brief that the attorney general of the United 8tatea had announced that he would not appeal from . the Circuit court decree. . -; , ; "Tho repugnancy between the de cree and the mandate - must there fore remain uncorrected," the attor neys aald, "tha decision of thia court, designed to remedy a great public wrong, must be frustrated and the l.enenclent results that should have followed from It be forfeited, unless at the Instance of a citizen, whose In terests are vitally affected,' thia court shall ses to It that IU commands are made effective." , . The foremost abjection arged to the reorganization plan waa . that It rev suited In the division of the stock of the several corporations. Into ywhlch the combination was divided, among the common stockholders - of the American Tobacco company, "with the result ,that tha very men who have been adjudged by this court to he Illegal conspirators are maintained and confirmed In their ownership and control." It was contended that the common stockholders should be pro hlhlted from obtaining or retaining control over the business. 1H Not IHwiro Conflwatlon. ' "We do not ask that the defendants he deprived of anything which they now own," the brief continued. , "We do not ask that a single share now belonging to them be surrendered. We merely ask that when the tobac co company parts with the shares which it owns. It be required to do o In such a way as to prevent the conspiracy from being poruetualnd. If the court may compel the chief cor porate HVfVnd.ini to hif;ik up the oom- HIiiMlh.ri by ri M!':i; t't of Ha Minn,. tores ! r $1 1 Cotton Blankets . . 75c , $3 Half Wool Blankets. ; , t $2.25 $2 Indian: Bknkets $1.50 ? $3.75 Satin Quilts . .$2.79 $2 Satin Quilts V, . . .$1.50 $1.25 Ladies' '?

ELKS SOLEH RITUAL , 1 1 - Impressive Ceremonies, Ad dresses and Appropriate Music at Auditorium. The memorial exercises of the Ashe ville lodge ot Elks were held yester day afternoon, in the Auditorium, at which time touching addresses and a pleasing musical program were heard. The Auditorium had been tastefully decorated for the occasion with ferns and potted plants, and on the rear of the stage a large elk's head was ele vated, on' which 15 lights were burn ing; these lights were snuffed out as tha names of the departed members were read. The members of the grand lodge Were seated on th stage, while the front seats of the building were reserved for the members of the Asheville lodge. The eulogy to the members : who have died since the founding of the lodge was delivered by Robert R. Rey noids in a most impressive manner. and the memorial address waa made by F. W. Thomas. James Westall rendered a violin solo, and other mu slcal numbers were, rendered by Miss Minnie Westall, Mrs. O. C. Hamilton, J. Q, Stlkeleather, Mra. Julia Burdick and Judge Thomas A. Jones. . In beginning hla address Mr. Rey nolds said that It waa with difficulty that he restrained his emotions. He declared. that the members remember well those who have departed, ' and not only of them, but of their wldoks and children; and he aald that the lodge Is grateful that not one member has died during the past year. Mr. Thomas remarked that through out the land services were being held in memory of tha dead; that this was well as It brought the' members of the order together, and brought to their attention the more aerloua things of lire. He referred to the principles of tne order, especially to charity, which he said, was carried out by the Elks In way which did not advertise Itself. Justice, too, he'stated. was the appli cation of the olden rule, aa consider ed by the Elks. The pther principles of the order he gave aa brotherly love and fidelity, the latter demanding that the members must be faithful to their sense of duty and to thrlr prUate and public obligations. i . 0.

Tonight and tomorrow the ladles of the city will be admitted free to the Theato and Palace theaters, this ad mission being granted whether the Indies are accompanied by a person having a ticket or not. There are ab solutely no strings to the offer and it I, hjghljr jirdbable that practically ev ery 'lady" In the city who enjoys good moving pictures and music will take advantage of this chance to see some very line picture programs. Special music programs have been arranged for the occasion and , the pictures promise to be among the best seen here for some time. "Pictures that will not offend the refined taste" Is the standing, rule of this manage ment. At the Palace today may be seen three fine dramatic pictures. Two of these are Vltagraph films, one entitled "The Missing Will" snd the other, "The Fighting Schoolmaster." There Is also one Eclipse Aim entitled, "Par doned by the Governor." There will be music as usual by the orchestra and tonight Tom Sanders, a soloist, will sing at the Palace. There are slso some very fine pictures to be seen today at the Theato building.

The latter la one of the most amusing comedy films on the circuit and the whole program, together with the-or-chestra music, promises to be very entertaining. ' . NO BASKETBALL GAME SCHEDULED THIS WEEK Attempt Made by Y. M. C. A. Team to Make Date Have Failed Thna Far. An attempt was made' today by Sec retary Ed. B. Brown of the local Y. M. C. A. to get a basketball game this week between the association boys and the Maryvllle college team of and Maryvllle college team of Mary vllle, but the game would not be ar ranged as the manager of that team stated over long distance telephone that they had not had a game thia sea son and did not feel able to go against such abls opponents thia early in the year. A date waa made, however, to have them coma here February 22. Thia Is the second failure to get a game for this week, the other being with Wofford college. The Wofford hoys were willing to come this week but would not agree to any date later than' Wednesday night. The local management did not think that this would give sufficient time to advertise the game as it should be done, and the date was refused.. It Is probable, how ever, that a game will be arranged with them later. -.-. The real big games of the aeason that the Y. M. C. A. boys are looking forward to will probably be played some time during Christmas week, when they will meet the teams of the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. and Washington and Lee university. Both these teams are among the best In the south. The game with the former team will deter mine the slate championship and for that reason will be the most important of all.

H""'T3('M9"..f PAY ALLJNDEBTEDNESS Rare Action in Matter of Ashe ville Pure Milk Company, Bankrupt. Among the matters disposed of dur ing the' past-term of Superior court waa that of the Asheville Pure Milk company, bankrupt. An order waa signed by Judge Lane November 29, Instructing Owen Oudger, receiver, to pay the unpaid accounts of this com pany, and the many creditors of the .company wre. gratified to receive, on Thanksgiving day, checks for their accounts in full. It will be recalled that on July 16, 1010, an order was signed by Judge Joseph 6. Adams, appointing Mr. Oudger temporary receiver of this concern, and a later order signed by Judge Adams, July 23, appointed him permanent receiver. A report was filed by the receiver on August 18, 1010, showing' the total liabilities of the company to be 85701.75; other ac counts found later made the total In debtedness approximately 86000. The aasets were less than 8600 cash, and other property and accounts, estimat ed at less than 8400 cash value. In view of this report the creditors had not supposed they would receive more than 15 cents on the dollar. The dif ference, 85 centa on the dollar, was voluntarily assumed and paid by Wil liam Johnston, Jr., Capt R. P. John aton and Harold E. Johnston, prlncl pai Biocanoiaers in the milk com pany. - Thte was a limited liability com pany, as. are all corporations except banks; and such an action as that of these gentlemen Is exceedingly rare, there being no legal liability what ever resting upon them to pay these debts.

' ' TONIGHT AT Ashcville's Great Show Place m vLlii u Q7.25 THE PASSION PLAY FILU Wilt KOTJI EXHIBITED Palace Management Convinced ; There's a Negro in the Woodpile. Tuesday of last week Conn sY Chap- man went to S. A. Lynch, manager of 1i the Palace theater, offering to lease '; to him for Thanksgiving day "The i Paslon Play" films. This would not j have given time to properly advertise i. these pictures( so arrangements were- made with Conn tc Cha.pmaa.to abow--. these pictures today and tomorrow. Cohn & Chapman were in .town' yea- ; terday afternoon at p. m ready. It 1 appeared, to fulfill their contract this- morning. They talked with Mr. Lynch and gave him circulars and posters for advertising purposes. Mr. Lynoh says he learned this morning that a per son In' Asheville offered them' 8100 for an Interest in the films; and that had this person bought the interest in . these films he would have attempted to keep them from helng shown at the Palace theater. It is learned that Cohen ac Chap man left town last night on the mid night train for Morrtstown, Tenn., to look for engagements there, taking with them the films which were to, be shown today at the Palace theater, hence It Is evident Mr. Lynch's friends feel, "that someone haa him a low , trick which would not have been done unless these men had been tampered ' with." This will not hurt the shows of Mr. Lynch, as his regular ship-' menta of films ute here and will be need as usual. This statement is made in order that the moving picture pub lic may know that these films failed , to be shown not through any fault of , Mr. Lynch, as the people have long ' ago learned that when he advertises : a feature it ia a real one and will be produced unless something unforeseen happens. , , TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAT Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.
