TOBACCO TRUST ACT.
NEW YORK. July 29-6teps toward
"re-creating" the American Tobacco
Company out of the elements now
composing It, In harmony with the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, were taken when an
ouncement was made of the forma
tion of protective committees by hold
ers of the six per cent bonds, the
four per cent bonds and the preferred
stock. .

bond holders' committee le Alexander
J. Hemphill, president of the Guar
anty Trust Company. Hia associates

DeWltt Cuyler, of Philadelphia. The
committee' notice refers to the de
sire of the American Tobacco Com
pany to comply with the order of the
Supreme Court and urges united ac
tion on the part of the bondholders.
Similar representations are made by
the committee for the four per cent
bonds, of which Charles H. Sebin
vice president of the Guaranty Trust
Company, is chairman, and the pre
ferred stockholders' committee, of
which J. N. Wallace, president of the

co Company in the manner prescribed
by the United States Supreme Court.

urance were received that their ef
forts would not interfere with the

can Tobacco Company had been dele
gated by the higher tribunal.

most pleasantly spent by every one

of kinsfolk, the service waa indeed
most Interesting one.
At noon the big baskets and boxes

such a dinner that was! There was
fried chicken, roast beef, ham, sand
wiches, pickles, bread, cake, pies,
and, In fact, everything that goes to
make up a good old-fashioned picnic
dinner.
The afternoon was most pleasantly
spent In conversation and the happy
family wss joined by many of their
friends who came in. to renew old
acqualntancea.
The Fulton family Is one of th old
st and largest families of this sec
tion snd Is a family that has always
been one of the most prominent of
the county both In social and busi
ness affairs. That so many bearing
this name were able to enjoy .the
pleasures of this happy day ts a cause
of much rejoicing to th plder mem
bers of the family.
