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."

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 tive, for the present clay roadways have already begun to waafi badly In several places.
