According to C. T. Oliver, secre

that section has tho Inrgost orop ot

freight rates thoy nro unable to
market this orop. Local buyers havi
practically quit buying. Tho fann

"This situation," he writes, "uu

There is practically no milling done

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.
