The message, which condemned tho resolution on the ground that itsjof New York, - whose decision was at purpose was not specific, was sent Aimed. The court held, however, that to the desk by Mr. Tillman and was re-read. The president, after signing the resolution, asked that additional legislation he entered into to make it effective. Included in this request was a recommendation that an ap propriation he made to carry on the investigation and specific authority be given to the commission to admin Islr oaths and compel the attendance of witnesses. : "I deprecate the necessity of 'crit icising: this most extraordinary docu ment," said Mr. Tillman as a preface to his remarks.

Federal Grand Juries Under Anti-Trust law BROWN WROTE OPINION Orlgln Was a Suit by Government Against American Tobacco Com , puny, McAndrcws and Forbes Com pany' and the Imperial Tobacco Company Questions as to Exist ence of Trust. (B.V the Associated Press.) Washington, March 12. "The tobacco trust" cases, involving the right of wit nesses to refrain from testifying, before federal Brand juries in proceedings un der the anti-trust law, were today de Culled Slates against the witnesses. The eases grew out of proceedings for Wilis of habeas corpus instituted in the circuit court of the southern -district I the subpoena In this case was too broad. The titles of the cases were: Edwin F. Hale versus I'niteil States -Marshal Henkel and William II. McAllister versus Henkel, and both came to the supreme court on appeals from the United States circuit court foi1 the southern district or New York. These cases involved the broad ques tion of the right of- a federal grand jury to compel witnesses to answer questions, and as this 1ueHtK.11 has re- i rem iy arisen in inuiiy ol .. hj ' ' ll i courts, the decision in this caso h is been looked forward to with much in terest. ' The present proceeding had its origin In connection with a suit of the govern ment against the American Tobacco Company, commonly known as the to bacco trust, the McAntirews ana Tliese writs were reiusea ana cne case was brought to the supreme court by the defendants. In the bearing they attacked the jut isillctlon of the grand jury and con tended that at the time they were la fore the jury there was no action pending against the tobacco companies. The jury's right to compel answers was questioned on tho ground that in the investigation it was making no speeiilc charge against any particular person.

TAFTTELLS OF LAW Hc sorts for Chinese in Manila Were Licensed, but Commission Now Has liill Providing for the Sup pression of Smoking Some Facts About an Industry That Thrived for Years. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, March 12. The presi dent today sent to congress the report of the opium commission appointed in 1904 to investigate the use of opium in the Philippines and to suggest means for its regulation The report Itself in, outline has already been published :n view of the earnest efforts ot Christian clergymen and reformatory societies to stop the traflic in opium in the Philip pines, and of developments since the publication of the report the letter from Secretary Taft which accompanies the. president's message to congress may bo of interest. The letter says in part: "The law in force in the Philippine Islands under the government of Spain made it unlawful for any Filipino to smoke or use opium in any way. It permitted, however, a license to issue for the maintenance of opium smoking resorts, to be .patronized only by the Chinese, and police supervision was ex ercised over the resorts, and any Fili pino found there was arrested and punished. The owner of the resort was also punished for conniving at the Fill- plnos' violation of ..the law. When the American troops entered Manila, and took possession of the islands, the Spanish opium law. was not tontiiiuon, In force. A duty was Imposed on opium and towns were enjoined to paBS ordi nances forbidding the establishment of opium dives. Such information as tho commission could obtain indicated that the suspension of the Spanish law had led to an increase of the use of the drug among Filipinos. Karly in 1903 there was introduced in the Philippine com mission for enactment Into law a bill following in some respects the Spanlsil law, especially in the main feature, that the sale of opium to Filipinos and its use by them as absolutely prohibited and made a penal offense. It was very vigorously opposed by the clergymen of the city of Manila," Tlie secretary says the opposition was so strong that: the commission tabled, the bill and appointed a committee to investigate the measures taken by other governments for the purpose of suppressing the use of opium in orien tal countries. The result of this inves tigation was the-adoption by congress of a bill lixlng a duty on opium and providing: "That the Philippine commission or any subsequent Philippine legislature shall have the power to enact legisla tion to prohibit absolutely the impor tation or sale of opium, or to limit or restrict its Importation and sie, or adopt such other measures us may ho required for the suppression of the evils resulting from the sale and. use of the drug; and provided further, that after March first, nineteen hundred and eight, it shall be unlawful to Import into the Philippine Islands opium, In whatever form, except by the govern ment, and for. medicinal purposes only, and at no time shall it be lawful to sell opium to any native of the Philippine Islands except for medicinal purposes." The secretary continues: "There is now pending before the Philippine commission for public dis cussion a bill providing for the sup pression of opium smoking, which pen alizes the sale of opium to Filipinos, or its use by them; second, it prohibits ;he sale of opium to any Chinaman un less he be registered as an habitual user 'of the drug. License taxes are Imposed on wholesale and retail dealers who are subject to close regulation and scrutiny. This bill, if it becomes law, will by reason of the congressional re striction above set out, cease to have effect in April, '1908, and at that time ull importations of opium into the is land will cease except for medicinal purposes, and the Importation for that purpose will be made by the govern ment only. The Interval of two years before the absolute prohibition applies Is made In accordance with the suc cessful policy followed in Formosa by the Jupanese who did not put into op eration the prohibition until after three years oJ preparation, during which li censes were imposed, and a registered list of habitual users was required. A supplement to the secretary's letter is contained in a cablegram received from the governor general of the Phil ippine Islands at Manila, Indicating: that the public discussion on the pro posed opium bill hus been finished, and that the bill was passed.
