MOST COMPLICATED
CASE EVER HANDLED
Oil Attorneys May Attempt to
Again Bring Standard Oil
Case Before Court
WASHINGTON, May 28. After
four years' contest, the so-called 'To
bacco trust case" probably, will be
disposed of tomorrow by the Su
preme court of the United States. It
will be the last day of the present
term, and unless the case Is reached
then Its decision will be postponed
until next October at least.
Many regard the case at the most
complicated suit that has ever reach
ed the Supreme court as a result of
the Sherman anti-trust act. Instead
of only one combination to be dealt
with, as in the Standard OH case, the
lower court held that there were five
unlawful combinations. These were
the American Tobacco company, the
American Snuff Company, the Amer
ican Cigar company, the American
Stogie company and McAndrews A
Forbes company, the last being con
cerned in the manufacture of licorice
paste. These were restrained from
engaging In Interstate commerce.
In addition to these five combina
tions the lower court found that there
were seven corporations which held
stock in some rhlrty or forty other
corporations which called for atten
tion. The lower court forbade the
seven corporations from acquiring the
plants ef the issuing corporations, or
from controlling them. The seven
corporations were the American To-'
bacco company, the American Snuff
company, the American Cigar com
pany, P. Lorillard company, R. J.
Reynolds Tobacco company, Black
well's Durham Tobacco company and
the Conley-Foyle company. Still fur
ther the court must pass on the
charges' that some of the acts of the
so-called British Tobacco trust, the
- j ainerfar Tobacco eomoanv: Hr
IDs uritisn-American Tobacco com
pany, a corporation organised by the
two so-called "trusts' to handle the
world's tobacco business outside Great
Britain and America have violated the
law. Another question is whether the

who heard nothing of the pence

The entire state of Duranno, with
its capital, a city of 32,001) popula
tion, is at the mercy of roving bands,
who have unseated all the regularly
constituted uuthorilies. Refugees
from southern Chihuahua also report
the towns Tn disorder. The worst
feature Is that .VI railroad communi

and government documents burned.
In the town of Villa Escobedo. a
few miles south of here, the municipal
buildings were , burned, all the resi

A previous report that all govern

town of Guadaloupe were killed has
been confirmed, shortly after the tel

reported that town waa being attack

There ts a great scarcity of food here.

Next Week
WASHINGTON, D. C. May 21.
Investigations of the steel trust, the
sugar trust and the expenditures and

democratic wool tariff bill promised
for Friday, the house will hold no
Important sessions until then; and
Investigating cdtnmlttees will have
opportunity to advance Important in
vestigations that were started last
week. ' The Lorlmer case probably
will come to a vote In the senate
Monday as to the method to be adopt

of the Illinois senatorial election. The
LaFollette resolution to appoint a spe

Dillingham substitutes leaving the In
quiry to the regular senate commit
tee on privileges and elections are be
fore that body for further debate to
morrow; It is hoped to ave the sub
ject disposed of before the day's ad

which began with John W, Gates on
Saturday will resume Tuesday with
other Important witnesses. Chairman
E. H. Gury of the United States Steel

IE ACRES
OF COTTON PLANTED IN
1911 THAN ONE YEAR AGO
Over 89 Per Cent of This
Area Has Come to a
Stand.
GROUND VERY DRY
MEMPH1IS, Tenn., May 2. The
first of the season's cotton crop re
ports from correspondent of the Com
mercial Appeal of date of May ?S and
24, Indicate that there Is an increase
In the area planted to cotton In 1911
over that planted In lf10 of approx
imately 4.6 per cent which in round
figures is 35,000.00 aires In all.
Over 89 per cent of this area the
cotton has romp up to a stand. Plant
In; In ra'-U'Hllv completed save in
western Oklahoma where if, rain falls
soon oats land will be put In cot
ton. This compares with X8 per cent
to stand on May 27 last year. Broad
ly speaking it may be said that north
of a line somewhere between the
thlrtv-thtrd and thirty-fourth par-
allel, the crop Is somewhat later then
last year, owing to the fact that the
grounn is too ory n.r tne proper ger-1
mtnatlon of seed South of that line
the rains have been sufficient to
start the crop off well and It ts
flourishing and early.
Altogether conditions are well
above an average and perhaps better
than laet year, as there is no com
plaint from any cause save dry
weather and Irregular stands. There
Is no grass or weeds. The use of fer
tilizers east of the Mississippi river Is
the greatest ever known and there Is
a tendency to better land preparation
to the employment of Improved ma
chinery. There la a return to cotton In
the older weevil Infested districts of
the Mississippi valley, but decrease
in the sections newly invaded.

DID PRESIDENT VAIL
HAVE AN OIL VISION?
Said Before Recent Opinion
That Reason Had Been
Read Into the Law
WASHINGTON, May 28. The de
cision of the United States Supreme
court In the Standard Oil case la re
garded as vitally Important to the
Bell Telephone Interests which In re
cent years have boldly declared that
a monopoly of the telephone business
was to be desired. The "reasonable"
restraint of trade recognised by the
decision may prove to cover the tele
phone situation to the entire satis
faction of the American Bejl Tela
phone and Telegraph company.
i It has been known that the Bell In
terests by reason of their magnitude
have been under, scrutiny. The state
ment about the decision attributed to
President Vail was this: "Reason has
been read Into the Sherman taw, and
reason is slwaya certain to temper a
too literal Interpretation of the sta
tutes." The annual report of President
Theodore N. Vail to his 70,000 stock
holders appears now, In the light of
the Standard Oil decision to be almost
prophetic of the nature of the de
cision.. A close comparison of Presi
dent Van's statements concerning mo
nopoly and competition In his field
with the opinion concerning reasona
ble and unreasonable control of busi
ness has disclosed a pertinence In
President Vail's utterances not pre
viously given In the department of
Justice. The ' exhaustive discussion
which amounted to a brief, of mo
nopoly In the telephone field now has
assumed the utmost Importance I if
the department.
Mr. Vail prefaced his remarks con
cerning the disadvantages of compe
tition with a fiat approval of regula
tlon of monopolies such as he claims
the Bell telephone Interests should
have, by the statement that publlo
control of public service corporations
by permanent commissions 'bus come
and come to stay." He said:
"Those few things , which In the
growth of civilization, and particu
larly by the Increase of urban popula-
