KLAMATH MOD MED HO COURT HEARS TRUST PLANS FOR FUTURE Circuit Court Begins Its Work of Passlnrj Upon the Re-organizatlon Plans of the Tobacco Trust Under the Sherman Law. SAY COMPANY MUST HAVE ITS OWN WAY Otherwise, Delcares Attcrncy, It Will Be Forced Into Virtual Bankruptcy. NKW YORK. Oct. 30. Tho United Stntcs circuit court today began tho work of passing upon tho reorgani zation plans of tlr tobacco trust, re cently foreed to dissolve through tho government's investigation of it un der the Sherman nnti-trust law. There were but few spectators pres ent when court opened. Judge Lacombc, presiding, an nounced that tho attorneys for tho trust will first announce their plans, nftor which the representatives of the sccuritities holders and of tho in dependent tobacco growers, will bo heard. After this the American Tobacco company chiefs will be pennitted to answer objections to their plans. When all arguments pro and con aro ended, Attorney General Wickcrshmn will hao his final say. Lewis Cass Ledynrd, counsel for the trust, was the first speaker to dny, beforo Judge Lacombc. He urged a "sane and reasonable" plan for ad justment and predicted that disaster would follow the appointment of a receiver for the tmst. Declaring that tho trust will be force'd Into receivership unless its ;ilan for disintegration Is approved, Morgan O'Brien, representing tho ijondholdors' committee, declared to the court that tho trust's plans com plied with tho decision of thq su preme court that It must reorganizo. "Tho hostile Interests havo not proposed a schemo as effective as tho one submitted to tho court In bringing about the desired disinte gration," declared O'Brien. "Ro colvorship means eventually placini; this property on the murket, for Balo to tho highest bidder. As tho prop orty would bo purchasod by ono ot the interests at present owning It, the present tntontlon of the suprotno court would not bo realized." Joseph Chuuto, representing tho holdors of $2S,000,000 In bonds, ad vocated approval of tho trust's plans. Ho declarod that tho plan rostorod competition and will solve "tho al most lmposslblo problem which tho supramo court prosented." Tho brief filed by Attornoy Gen eral Wickorsham asks tho right to intervene at any timo during a per iod ot five years, regardless ot what plan for dissolution may bo ap proved. It, contends that it Is lm posslblo to tell whore any plan ot which the court may approve will be satisfactory mid asks that nono of tho companies bo permitted to havo tho samo officials or dlroctora as other companies of tho trust. Tho government does not object to any company controlling 40 por cent ot ' Its business In any particular lino. Attorney Louis D. Brnndols, rep resenting tho Independent Tobacco company's Interests, was spoaltlng when tho court adjourned for recess at tho luncheon hour. Ho doclarod that tho proposed dissolution plan of the trust does not restoro com petition. Girl Rescued. SACRAMENTO, Cnl., Oot. 30.
