Washington, D. C, Oct. 23.—The
Tobacco Trust plan of "dissolution
is doomed to failure in its present
form, according to information reach-
ing official circles here.
The cry of the independents that
the scheme would result in "legalized
monopoly" and make a farce of the
Sherman law, has been heard at the
Department of Justice.
Attorney-General Wickersham spent
all of Friday and Saturday going
over the details of the plan as an-
nounced by the Tobacco TruBt When
it became known that he had decided
to call Into conference James C. Mc-
Reynolds, special counsel for the
Government In the prosecution of the
tobacco case, the prospects for the
plan darkened.
McReynoIds, who won the case
against the trust, is outspoken in his
condemnation of the proposed plan.

ing, was that of Jos. Daniels. Let-
ters found in possession of the vic-
tim bote this name. One letter was

Sedalia, Mo., Oct. 23.—Sixteen Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas carmen who
struck Sept. 23 have been given until
Wednesday next to return to work.
In a circular Issued here, the men
are told If they fail to go back to
work by that time immediate ar-
rangements will be made to fill their
places permanently.
Newark, N. J., Oct. 23.—Allison
McFarland, the advertising man
whose wife was found dead of cya-
nide of potassium poisoning at their
home here Wednesday, was commit-
ted to Jail by Judge Ochring on a
charge of murder Saturday.
When the committment was first
read McFarland paled, but quickly
recovered his composure.
Following his commitment the pris-
oner asked to make a statement to
the newspapers.
"I obtained this poison," he said,
"at my wife's own requite, to clean
jewelry. It was kept on the top
shelf In our medicine chest and my
wife knew it was there, and that It
was poison. I used a bromide bottle
to hold it, but pasted a poison label
on it I would not have selected
such a bottle had I wished to deceive
my wife, as she was not in the habit
of taking bromide. I took it, but
she only did so as I gave it to her."
Referring then to the police story
of the discovery of a letter in Mc-
Farland's possession, indicating that
he had relations with a woman other
than his wife, the prisoner said:
"I don't think my wife intended to
commit suicide, and I do not think
she suspected that there was any
other woman in the case."
Dr. Wm. B. Gale, who was called
to see Mrs. McFarland after she was
dead, supplemented the husband's
statement:
"McFarland called on me Wednes-
day morning," he said, "and asked me
to see his wife as she had fainted.
He was perfectly composed. I went
and as soon as I saw the woman
told him she had been dead several
hours. I asked him If he had poison
in the house and he said 'yes,' and
then showed me the bottle of cyanide
of potassium. It had a bromide
label with a cyanide label pasted
over It."
The police have in their possession
bottle with a poison label pasted
over the two other labels—presum-
ably both the cyanide and bromide.
Dr. Gale refuses to identify the bot-
tle, however, as the one he saw. The
po'ice suspect that the prisoner tam-
pered with the original bottle be-
tween the time of the doctor's visit
and the time of his arrest.

Middletown, N. Y., Oct. 23.—One of
the most remarkable obituary notices
ever printed was published in the
Sullivan County Review here from its
Montela (Ulster County) correspond-
ent. It Is as follows:
"Sam Lobde" is dead. Some dayB
ago he was stricken with poisoning
from a wound in the neck while
fighting with his wife when he was
drunk. Doctors Grindle of Eureka
and Butts of Claryville were In at-
tendance, but despite their utmost
efforts the poison spread until as a
last resort they used the knife. The
operation was of no avail, however,
and now he ain't here any more.
Sam was a unique character. Only
once in a generation is a community
pestered with such a human viper,
such a moral X; he was the un-
solved conundrum, 'What is he good
for?' His only virtue was the per
sistence of his wickedness, his only
excellence the stability of his unre-
pentance. Booze fighter, liar, wife
beater, chicken thief, egg stealer,
dope fiend, profane and vile of speech
to the point of nausea, he was the
trademark of sin, the sentiment em-
blem of vice, with no crime but work
beyond his capacity. He was even
worse; but he has gone hence and
it Is never our Inclination to kick a
man when he is down.
'Yet at death his proverbial luck
was with him. He goes below Just
as the whitening frosts and the chill-
ing winds are ushering In a long and
tedious season for the good who aro
left. As was often the case when In
life and when in jail, he will keep
warm and comfortable at others' ex-
pense. Well, bo long, Sam, and so
long as it is long, good luck."
GLORY, [NOS FLIGHT
St. Louis, Mo., Oct 23.—Owing to
lack of financial support from the
cities along the Mississippi, which
have failed to raise the full amount
subscribed or have canceled their
agreements, Hugh Robinson, at Rock
Island, 111,, has announced he would
discontinue his flight from Minnea-
polis to New Orleans in his hydro-
aeroplane. His machine, which had
gone to Rock Island from Minne-
apolis, a distance of 371 miles, with-
out any accidents worthy of mention,
is in perfect condition, so he states,
and is fully capable of completing
the trip.
Robinson intended to continue hiB
fight this morning, but advices from
his advance agents were that not
enough money was guaranteed to
cover even half the necessary ex
pense of the trip from Rock Island
to New Orleans.
Practically all towns of any size
below withdrew their guarantees, he
6aid, because they were not promised
deflnito dates of arrival, which he
said he was unable to do under exist
ing weather conditions.
Declares Cities Commercial.
"Most of the cities along the river,'
Robinson said, "are more interested
in the financial returns gained from
out-of-town crowds which the free ex-
hibitions along the water front at
tract than they are in the success
ful completion of the flight."
His refusal to go further was pre-
cipitated, his agents say, by the fail-
ure of the St. Louis officials of the
Mississippi River Flight Association,
of which A. B. Lambert, president of
the St. Louis Aero Club, is the head,
to guarantee the payment of the full
subscription list.
Of the $20,000 which was supposed
to have been raised by the Trans-
Mississippi River Flight Association
of St. Louis for the flight, the only
city which has thus far paid the full
amount subscribed Is Minneapolis, tho
starting point, Robinson declares. His
time, so he states, could be more
profitably spent in exhibition work
than in making the flight to New Or
leans, merely for the glory of it.

, Ed. W. Rowland and Edwin
Clifford (Inc.)
OFFEIJ —
Boley, Okla., Oct. 23.-At a meet-
ing of representatives negroes of the
better claBs from 25 counties of the
State, held here, the Negro Law and
Order League of the State of Okla
homa was organized, having for its
purpose the ridding of this section,
as well as other sections of the
South, of tho Idle and vicious class
of negroes, which the meeting holds
largely responsible for tho troubles
between the races, and the lack of
understanding which exists between
them.
Tho officers elected were: John
R. Hogan, Langston, president; L. K.
Jones, Sanders, vice-president; L. J.
Kemp, Tishomingo, vice-president; S.
Holmau, Wagoner County, record-
ing secretary; S. W. Garrett, Okfus-
kee County, treasurer; W. F. Smith,
Pottawatomie County, corresponding
secretary.
I. E. Page of the negro university
at Langston was not prcsont at the
meeting but wrote a letter Indorsing
their action. In part he said:
"It is my earnest wish that the
convention take a decided stand
against tho law-breaking element in
our race, and that it tako steps to
co-operate more effectively with the
officers of the law in putting this
class of negroes out of business and
thereby create a more favorable sen-
timent in all sections of our country
in favor of our race.
I.et us sound the alarm against
lawlessness of every character,
whether committed by black men or
white men, but at the same time let
us remember that if we wish to suc-
ceed In getting the white raco to
prevent its criminal element from
mistreating us, it will be necessary
for us to contribute our best ef-
forts in the direction of holding in
check that element in our race that
is largely responsible for the diffi-
culties that confront us In all sec-
tions of our country."
