NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY
HOW TOBACCO TRUST BEGAN
A Little Inside Glimpse at the Birth
ad Growth of the
Monopoly,
It Is a remarkable story of trust de
velopment that has been laid bare by the
months of probing that preceded the filing
of the bill In the United States circuit
oourt asking that Injunctions Issue against
I the mutual ownership of each other' stock
by the companies forming the Tobacco
trust, against the fundamental contracta
on which their business lias been con
ducted, and against their further pursuit
under existing organization of Interstate
and foreign trade. But, say the govern
ment lnveslgatora, In the whole matter r.o
chapter Is more remarkable than that
which leads up to the financing of the
present American Tobacco company, that
has been In the building for a dozen years.
One need not go further back than 1837
for the Important points In Its develop
ment. That was about the time when
competition came strongly Into the plug
tobacco field, and the following year the
Continental Tobacco company, backed, as
It turned out, tfy Thomas F. Ryan, P. A.
B. Wldener, the late Senator Elklns and
their associates, entered the battle. But
the warfare between the Continental and
the American companies did not last long.
The two soon came together and acted In
common In raising the price of tobacco
when the war tax was put on the product
Of IP.
What led to the formation of the Con
solidated Tobacco company, according to
the conclusion reached by the govern
ment's Investigators, was Information that
came to the directors of the trust as It
was then composed, to the effect that con
gress was about to repeal the war tax.
reducing the revenue charge on tobacco
from 12 to ( cents a pound. The Consoli
dated Tobacco company was Incorporated,
an an offer was made to the stockholders
of the Continental to exchange their hold
ings, dollar for dollar, for the new 4 per
cent bonds of the Consolidated, while theee
bonds were to be given to the American
Company's shareholders, who would come
fn on the exchange at the rats of $2 for one
of stock. Just before this offer was made,
quarterly statement of the two compsn.
tes was published showing combined net
earnings of more than a million less than
thosj for the corresponding quarter of the
preceding year, and the government Inves
tigators are aot surprised. In view of -,;ns
fact and of the uifivut icoina.tDdaUgo of
this endowment certainly would be accom
panled by divorce benefits, or "repeaters,
in cases of second marriages.
"Marriage la the goal of every woman
worker," she said. "Such an endowment
to many of Its members would be the re
deeming feature of a union. In Cincinnati
a laundryman told me that twenty-eight of
the twenty-nine women who left him to
get married returned and asked for their
old Jobs again. For this twenty-eight there
would be the possibility of earning the en
dowment the second or third time."
Then Mies Kate ltyrle, a garment worker
of Detroit, made a statement which. It Is
feared, will result In an exodus of Chicago
woman workers to Detroit.
"Because of the large number of mar
riages In Detroit we can't Increase our
membership at all," sold Miss Ryrle. "We
gather Jn the members In large numbers,
but they ore married off as fast as we can
write their names on the books. However,
we would favor the endowment scheme."
"But one restriction should be made,"
suggested Mrs. Samuel J. Sullivan of
Indianapolis. "The man who gets a 'aTirl
with an endowment must be a thorough
union man. Unless there Is a union label
on him he will not be eligible to become
the husband of one of our number.".
Thus It Is expected to Increase at once
the membership In the unions made up of
women and of the unions for the male con
tingent. There were many other sugges
tions as to ways and mean of putting the
endowment theory Into practice. It was
suggested that there might also be a pre
mium on each child born. In fact, there
were so many suggestions that It was
decided to send the delegates back to their
locals for final Instructions and take up
the question once more In the near future.

NOT "HIS MASTERS" VOICE"
Origin of Talking Machine Picture
Explained In the Interest
of History.
The origin of "His Master's Voice," a
popular picture adopted by ono of the talk
ing machine companies. Is told by Simon
Wolf of Washington.
"Edward F. Leyh, a Baltimore newspaper
man, owned a black Dane known as Nero,"
said Mr. Wolf. "He was a splendid speci
men and universally known In that city.
He was also known here, as upon Mr.
Iyh's visits the dog always accompanied
him.
"One day It became a serious question
whether lyh would have to part with his
wife, to whom he had ben married thirty
three years, or with the dog, and with that
humor characteristic of Leyh he told me
that he concluded that It was too late to
part with his wife, and therefore he would
present the dog to Mrs. Wolf.
"The dog came here, and each and every
one of our family became much attached to
him, as did others who had the privilege
of knowing him. One day Mr. Berliner,
Inventor of a talking machine, asked W, F.
Elterlrli. an attorney of this city, who has
since Joined the majority, to talk for the
machine so as to get a German folklore
song to wit: 'Struwelpcter.' Elterlcb'a
voice resembled much. In character and
guttural emphasis, that of my friend Leyh.
"Mr. Berliner presented me with one of
the plates. One evening Mrs. Wolf, to
amuse some visitors, started up the ma
chine, and among other plates she lrsertad
this piece of Elterlch's. Nero, who was
lying In the extreme part of the room, the
moment he heard that voice, Jumped up
and poked his nose right Into the Instru
ment, thinking he heard Mr. Leyh's voice.
"A few days thereafter I told Mr. Ber
liner of the Incident and he was equally
suprlsed and also pleased. He communi
cated this fact to his people In Hanover,
Germany, who were manufacturing the
machine, and they adopted the device,
which has now become world famous. Of
course, the Hanover people thought It was
a small dog, and had no conception that It
was a 'BlRmarck dogge,' and hence the
device is now seen In the shape of a small
white dog." Washington Post.

Reeent Heavy Rains Have Seriously
Washed the Clay Surface and
Rendered Street Almost
Jmnasaable.
Now that Twenty-third street has been
made a part of the boulevard system of
the city It falls under the control of the
Park Board. The board Is about to take
up the matter of laying cinder roadways
and finally connecting the boulevard with
the central bculovard of . Omaha. The
curbing and guttering of the street has
lately been completed. The contract was let
to Dan Hannon and has cost the city
$7,000. The laying of cinder roadways will
cost a considerable sum, but it Is Impera

already begun to waafi badly In several
places. If attention Is not given soon the
guttering and the curbing will be under
