GROWTH OF TRUST
Second Report by Commis
sioner Smith on Tobacco.
STILL FIGHTING RIVALS
Thll Concern ilas Obtained Con
trol of Many Smaller Plants, Big
Outside Firms Are Tet
Making Hard Fight.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. Herbert
Knox Smith, Commissioner of Corpor
ations, today made public subdivisions
II and III of part 1 of his report on
the tobacco Industry. They deal with
the present organization of the to
bacco combination, so-called, its de
gree of control in that industry and
the development of that control.
These divisions of the report, re
sulting from a thorough investigation
into the business operations of the to
bacco combination, contain an elab
orate discussion of the methods by
-which the manufacture of tobacco, ex
cept cigars, has come under the con
' trol of a comparatively few capitalists.
Commissioner Smith says:
"In the tobacco combination are the
American Tobacco Company and its
three great subsidiary combinations,
the American Snuff Company, the
American Cigar Company and the British-American
Company, Eesides 82 oth
er subsidiary concerns doing business
in the United States, Porto Rico and
Cuba. The combination represents a
total net capitalization of over $316,
000.000. A very small group of ten
stockholders controls 60 per cent of
the outstanding voting stock of the
American Tobacco Company, through
which company the entire combination
Is controlled."
A list of the subsidiary companies
controlled, "including over 20 hither
to secretly controlled, so-called "bo
gus independent concerns," is given in
tlie report. It is shown also that the
combination is practically the only im
portant exporter of tobacco manufac
tures from this country. Astonishing
figures are given in respect to the de
velopment of the combination. In 1891
it controlled 89 per cent of the busi
ness of cigarette manufacture, and
thii, proportion practically is main
tained today. In cigars its output in
creased from 4 per cent of the busi
ness in 187 to 14.7 per cent in 1906;
while !n manufactured tobacco (chew
ing, smoking, fine cut and snuff) the
combination's output increased from 7
per cent of the total in 1891 to 77
per cent In 1906. Finally, in 1906, the
combination controlled of these separ
ate products, respectively, plug 82 per
cent, smoking 71 per cent, fine cut 81
per cent and snuff 96 per cent- In
ttie year 1906 the combination used in
the manufacture of its various prod
ucts nearly 300,000,000 pounds of leaf
tobacco. '
"An idea of the absorption of compet
ing plants." says Commissioner Smith,
"and of the changes through combination
wit hlu the last decade, may be had from
the fact that In 1S97 the combination had
ten plants, each producing over 50,000
pounds of manufactured tobacco or snuff
per year, while there were 343 independent
plants of the same class. In 1906. on the
other hand, the combination had 45 plants
of this class and independent manufactu
rers 140. Especially conspicuous has been
the absorption of the large plants. In
1897 the combination had eight plants,
each producing over 1,000.000 pounds of
these products per year, while its com
petitors had 46 such plants. In 1906 the
combination had 34 plants of this-size and
independent concerns only 17.
"Despite the combination's enormous
expenditures for advertising and in
"schemes," and despite frequent price
cutting by means of its so-called "fighting
brands,", there has been, in several
branches of the industry, a constant ten
dency for competitors to gatn business
more rapidly than the combination, and
thus to reduce its proportion of the out
put. This tendency has been overcome
only by continued buying up of competi
tive concerns. Many weaker concerns
have been virtually arlven out of busi
ness or forced to sell out to the combina
tion, either by reason of the direct com
petition of the latter or as an indirect re
sult of the vigorous competition between
the combination and larger independent
concerns. In the case of the larger and
more powerful concerns which It ac
quired, how'ever, the combination has
usually secured control only by paying a
high price. The immense profits of the
combination have enabled it to keep up
this policy."

MANAGERS MEET WITH ACTING
GOVERNOR HAY.
Lack of Cash Ha Handicapped
Commission, bnt This Has
Now Been Overcome.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 25. (Spe
cial.) In response to a summons from
Acting Governor M. E. Hay. the mem
bers of the A-T-P Exposition Commis
sion met in his office today and went
over the present status of the build
ings and exhibits. The assurance was
given the Governor that, the state's
buildings will be ready for occupancy
and exhibits by May 1, and that the
exhibits will have been installed be
fore the opening day, June 1.
They reported the Washington state
building as ibeing about 75 per cent com
pleted and the forestry -building about 45
per cent complete. 'The foundation of the
woman's building is laid and the high
way building is about 15 per cent done.
The contract for a dairy building to cost
$3700 has been let. This Is the last build
ing that "will be erected by the commis
sion. Members of the commission assert that
they have been handicapped In their
work by a lack of ready cash, but that
this difficulty has been obviated by the
recent act of the Legislature, which
guarantees interest at 6 per cent on the
warrants on the general fund, there now
being a large number of applicants to
purchase the interest-bearing warrants.
Thirty-five out of 37 counties have made
appropriations for representation at the
fair. With few exceptions each county is
now actively at work collecting Its ex
hibits, and In many cases have arranged
for an expert to prepare their displays.
Harmony and unity of purpose cow pre

ED JOINT BOARD
Special Naval Commission
Makes Report.
ADVISERS FOR SECRETARY
President Appoints Four Nary Men
and Three . From Army to
Form Plan of Con
stant Defense.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. The Pres
ident submitted to Congress today a
message transmitting two preliminary
reports of the commission he appointed
to consider the needs of the Navy. The
commission recommends an advisory
body for the Secretary, declaring that
what the Secretary needs above all else
is a clear understanding and firm grasp
of military conditions.
The commission is unable to report'
on the subject of navy-yards required
by strategic consideration In war time,
and for maintenance of a fleet in con
stant readiness for war during peace,
owing to the limited time it has avail
able. It recommends that the subject be
referred to a Joint Army and Navy com
mission, and accordingly the President
has appointed Rear-Admiral Mahan,
Admiral Sperry and Rear-Admiral
Wainwright and Captain Wlnslow, of
the Navy, and Major-General Bell and
Brigadier-Generals Witherspoon and
Marshall of the Army to report on the
subject.
Secretary to Pick Aids.
As regards individual responsibility
for .advice, it is suggested that the Sec
retary of the Navy nominate to the Presi
dent of the officer he deems best fitted to
guide the great fleet In case of war and
that this officer, irrespective of his sen
iority, should be head of the advisory
body.
The essential principle In the construCT
Hon of such an advisory body is that the
majority should be on the active list,
and should go afloat at not Infrequent In
tervals; and, specifically the head of the
body, the prospective Commander-in-Chief,
should, during the Summer months,
command the concentrated battleship
force for maneuvers, and target prac
tice. In these two principal classes Into
which the duties of the Secretary of the
Navy divides, civil and military, the
word "civil" corresponds largely to the
activities known as technical; and the
report states there is no apparent reason
why the same principle of undivided Im
mediate responsibility should not be real
ized in the department by having two
chief subordinates, responsible, the one
for military, the other for technical su
pervision. The selection of the chief technical as
sistant to the Secretary might be made
from the recognized technical experts in
the Navy in the bureaus of construction,
ordnance or steam engineering, or a com
petent civilian engineer or naval archi
tect may be appointed as Second Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, under whom
the four technical bureaus may be co
ordinated. No Change in Wartime.
"There should be no check or change of
method In expanding from a state of
peace to a state of war," concludes the
commission.
"This is not militarism: It is a simple
business principle, based on the fact that
success in. war Is the only return the
people and the Nation can get from the
Investment of many millions in a great
navy."
In asking Congress earnestly to consider
the report the President says these prin
ciples amount to a declaration that the
Navy should be treated from the stand
point of the whole country, and that all
other considerations should be subordi
nated to keeping it in the highest condi
tion of military efficiency, for it must be
prepared for war or else it is useless,
and it cannot be prepared for war unless
always in the highest etate of military
efficiency.
The commission will submit a final re
port to supplement and define the general
principles laid down. This the President
probably will submit to Congress.
SPERRY' SOON 'WILti RETIRE
Roosevelt Expected to Name Suc
cessor Before March 4.
FORT MONROE, Va.. Feb. 25. Rear
Admiral Charles S. Sperry left tonight
for Washington. The Impression grows
that Admiral Sperry will soon haul
down his flag. It Is common gossip
in the fleet that President Roosevelt
intends to name Ihe next commander-in-chief
before lie retires from office
next Thursday.
Admiral Sperry would have little to
gain from continuing in command, for
the ships are to remain at the Navy
yards until May 47. They will then
rendezvous here to remain probably
until July 1. before proceeding to the
northern drillgrounds off Cape Cod for
record target practice in still water.
Admiral Sperry retires in September,
so there is little In the programme of
the next few months that would cause
him to wish to remain.
.The storms seem tonight to have"
abated. Reports of disasters to par
ties on board the little boats were un
founded. DISAGREE OX PACIFIC "FTLEET
Conferees Decide to Keep Marines
on Board Ship.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25. A partial re
port of the conference on the naval ap
propriation bill was made today, but there
remain in disagreement the provisions to
keep half the Navy on the Pacific, and
the amendment fixing the price that may
be paid for colliers.
Th Senate amendment providing for
i an investigation of the advisability and
necessity of establishing a naval base on
-the Southern California coast was elim
inated. The House accepted the Senate
provision requiring the assignment of the
Marine Corps to service on battleships.
A compromise was made on the provi
sion that no part of the appropriation
for the purchase of powder shall be paid
to any trust or combination in restraint
of trade so as to make the provision ap
ply except In cases of "'extraordinary

CHEYENNE, Feb. 25. The last hours
of the Dry Farming Congress were given
over to the consideration of resolutions
and the delegates were unanimous in
their support of measures tending to en
hance the scope of the congress and aid
the development of arid land. The
delegates unanimously adopted a resolu
tion declining to advocate any special
method of dry farming and favoring the
investigation of all methods.
After a struggle. In which the name
"International Dry Farming Congress"
was advocated by many delegates, the
name of tae organization was changed
to the "Dry Farming Congress" and reso
lutions were adopted providing for
permanent headquarters at Denver, the
spread of dry farming information and
the gathering of dry farming informa
tion throughout the world. In this latter
project. Government assistance Is asked.

The methods of unscrupulous land deal
ers that have tended to bring dry farm

home-seeking .public were denounced and
steps will be taken to counteract the
effect of misleading advertisements.

Billings, Mont., was selected as the
place of the next meeting, which will be

PIANOS
The wonderful regard that the whole musical world has for the
Chickering Piano is the best proof of the excellence of the Chickering
tone. This marvelous instrument is not only the oldest established
American make, but it has a beauty of tone that is found in no other
piano. There is a sweetness and purity in the tone of the Chickering
that no one else has been able to duplicate; there is a never-ending
fascination for the player that seems to increase as time goes on. No
discerning musical person can fail to rccojyiize the reason for the
reverence and esteem in which this world-famous instrument is every
where held.
A Chickering costs a little more than the best ordinary piano,
but by the expense of that additional little, you secure, beyond all ques
tion, the best and the most exquisite piano that the musical industries
of the globe can show. In buying a Chickering you secure to yourself
the best it is possible to purchase you will own an instrument that
is most truly a thing of beauty and a joy.
