Judge Decides That Juror Bryon ls
Competent to Serve.
TRUST MEMBERS ARRAIGNED
District Attorney. Olcott Declares That
They \Vere Guilty of Conspiracy.
The Famous “Agreement” Not
Permitted to Be Read.
New York, June 16.—Although the
continuation of the trial of the Ameri-
can Tobacco company officials for al-
leged conspiracy was set down for 10:30
o’clock this morning, it was much later
before the proceedings before Judge
Fitzgerald in part one of general sessions
finally opened. Joseph H. Choate, as
usual, was the first of the attorneys
connected with the defense to appear
in the courtroom, and while waiting
for the proceedings to be begun spent
the time conversing with a friend. Mr.
Fuller next appeared, but it was some
time before all the jurors we're seated
in the box. YVhen District Attorney 01-
cott arrived, he conversed with ex-As-
sistant District Attorney McIntyre,
who was admitted within the railing
surrounding the space allotted to .the
prosecution. This gave rise to inquiries
as to whether Mr. McIntyre Would
hereafter be connected with the prose-
cution, but it was soon ascertained
that Mr. McIntyre was in court in the
, interests of a client only.
When Judge Fitzgerald took his seat,
Mr. Choate arose and asked that Ho-
bart C. Fash, the third juror, be al—
. lowed to go on the stand for examina—
; testimony yesterday.
tion as to the facts referred to in the
Judge Fitzger-
' ald, however, indicated that he thought
the proceeding unnecessary, and, al—
though Mr. Choate said that his desire
was that full justice be done to the ju-
ror, Mr. Fash was not permitted to go
upon the stand. The same request was
made in behalf of one of the other ju—
rors in the case and denied as before.
Mr. Fuller then attempted to address
the court concerning some of the mat-
ters referred to in a newspaper account
yesterday, referring especially to the
suggestion that detectives had been em-
ployed to shadow the jurors. Judge
Fitzgerald interrupted him, however,
and District Attorney Olcott objected to
the proposed statements. Mr. Fuller,
after much parleying, was not allowed
to proceed.
Mr. Choate then addressed the court
concerning the conduct of the reporter
and his supervisors on The Journal.
He thought that their actions had been
thoroughly improper, and suggested
that the matter be sent before the
grand jury. The judge replied that
that matter could be considered after-
ward. It then became evident that
Judge Fitzgerald had been fully satis-
fied as to the action of Juror Bryon
and that he would allow the case to go
on without change. The motion made
to dismiss Mr. Bryon was therefore set
aside.
The Prosecution’s Opening.
With the disposal of that question, all
obstacles in the way of the final open—
ing of the trial were removed, and Dis—
trict Attorney Olcott addressed the
jury for the prosecution. He said:
“I want to say that the prosecution
cares nothing about the 'wealth, social
position or condition of the jury. We
have been anxious to get a fair jury to
consider the facts which are to be pre-
sented in this great case. The fact that
the defendants under indictment are
rich men has nothing more to do with
the question of determining their guilt
as charged than if they were indicted
for the crime of murder.”
The Real Charge.
“The gravamen of this charge is con-
spiracy. XVe charge that they did this
to limit the output of their goods, to
limit the price at which they should
sell them in order to wickedly and un-
justly strangle trade and kill off com-
petition.
“We charge that these men joined to—
gether and formed the American To—
bacco company, and by it controlled
the majority of trade of all kinds of
cigarettes.
“'We charge that these men unlaw-
fully formed this monopoly; that they
conspired so that the supply of ciga-
rettes should be reduced or controlled
so that there would be no fair competi—
tion between their different factories or
between their factories and others.
“Now the charge is plain. \Ve will
show to you that these defendants,
once rivals in business, finally came to—
gether and united in one company.
Then we will show what this company
did. What they did secretly we may
not be able to show, save by circum-
stantial evidence, but in a case of con-
spiracy you must trust to circumstan—
tial evidence.
“Now he state of facts is this: In
1889 there were five big cigarette com-
panies. in this country. These com-
panies for years did an honest business.
They sold to jobbers, and all jobbers
could buy their goods.
“But in October, 1889, these five firms
formed a company and signed an agree—
ment. It was the result of months of
secret work, and by it these five rival
companies were in the future to 0
hand in hand, selling at their m 11
prices and stifling competition as they
went.
“I will now~read this agreement to
you.”
The Agreement Ruled Out.
Judge Fitzgerald would not allow it
to be read.
“If I cannot read it to you,” contin-
ued Mr. Olcott, “I will tell you what it
was. By its terms the five companies
were to unite in one company. The
terms of the contract were explicit and
by them Allen & Ginter were to re-
ceive 30 per cent of the capital stock,
30 per cent was to go to W. Duke &
Sons, 20 per cent to Kinney Bros. and
10 per cent each to W. S. Kimball and
Goodwin & Co.
the officers of the company were nam-
ed, and all bound themselves to refrain
from going into or even supporting in
any way any rival tobacco companies.
“Pursuant to this contract and act—
ing under its carefully drawn provi-
sions, the American Tobacco company
became a fact, being incorporated on
Jan. 20, 1890, under the laws of New
Jersey, with a capital stock of $25,000,-
000.
“Shortly after this we will show you
that the American Tobacco corripany,
under the provisions of this contract,
bought up six rival companies and fur-
- ther increased its capital stock.”
By this contract, too, -‘

TEE ELLIS ISLAIID FIRE.
the Property Loss Is Now Estimated at
About $1,000,000.
New York, June 16.—-—No live: zvere
lost at the fire that broke out on Ellis
Island at a very early hour today. That
was asserted positively at the barge of—
fice, where the immigrants were goth--
ered, counted, questioned as to their
friends and accounted for. One boy had
his foot crushed, and a woman was sent
to a hospital, ill with a. fever. Battery
park looked as though the old Castle
Garden had been restored, but on the
island there was a scene of desolation.
The fire was out, and the fireboat New
York had been called off at 6 o’clock.
Over the island, however, a heavy
brown smoke hung, and several streams
of water were pouring on the burning
debris from-tugs. Only three whole
buildings and a part of a. fourth were
standing. The loss was about $1,000,000,
besides all the records of the immigra-
tion bureau.
The buildings that remained were he
great engine house and electric light
and steam plant and Dr. White’s house,
which is the old Mason mansion. The
lower portion of the hospital stands.
The walls were 31/2 feet thick. The up—
per structure of woodwork was entirely
destroyed.
Utterly gone are the main building.
which was 150 by 250 feet and three
stories high; the detention pen, which
was recently constructed; the res-tau—
rant, the laundry building, the record
building and storage'house and Lhe
new disinfecting plant. A conservativ
estimate of the loss, including build-
ings, supplies, railroad tickets and cash
is $1,000,000. Dr. Senner said he thought
the loss would be over that, and it
might be lé‘ss.
The disinfecting plant, which was not
yet complete, had cost $25,000, expended
since Dr. Senner’s return from Europe,
and contained machinery recently
brought from Camp Lowe, at Fire Is-
land, which had cost $15,000, and was de—
stroyed. The southwest landing pier,
which had recently been reconstructed
and covered at great expense, was en—
tirely demolished. Only the lower old
stone portion of the hospital and the
lower portion of the detention pen re—
main. The morgue is a mass of ruins.
Two months ago the governitzent built
a. crib, which was filled in at an
pense of $25,000, and which added nine
acres to the original two acres of the
island. That is damaged. Felix Liv—
ingstone and Emile Sohwab, the cen—
cessionaries, place their loss of supplies
and equipment in the restaurant and
culinary department at $2,000. F. J.
Scully, who has the privilege of the
money exchange on. the island, places
his loss at $10,000 in'paper and gold, al-
though it may be less when the safe,
which has been discovered, is recovered
and opened. Thomas S. Faulkner,
agent of the Immigrant Clearing house
of the Trunk Line association, had two
safes, one of which was recovered this
morning. It had been burst open, appar-
ently, and about $300 was missing. The
safe under the ruins contains several
thousand dollars’ worth of tickets.

British Steamer Sultan Lost.
Colombo, Island of Ceylon, June 16.—
The British steamer Sultan, from Jid-
dah for Calcutta, with ‘a large number
of Mecca pilgrims on board, has foun-
dered near the island of Socotra, 120
miles east of Cape Guardafui, the east-
ern extremity of Africa. Ten natives
were drowned, but all the crew of the
Sultan and the rest of the pilgrims
have been landed here.
