“FATHER or THE COMBINE."
Mr. Allen Declares That Enormous Ex
pense of Advertising Induced Him
to Suggest Formation of Amer-
ican Tobacco Company.
New York, June 19.—‘The scene of the
trial of the American Tobacco company
officials was changed today to part four
of general sessions at the northwest
corner of the criminal courts building,
where the acoustic properties are sup-
posed to be superior to those of the
room diagonally opposite, in which- the
hearings were formerly held. The sen-
sational story published yesterday con
cerning the alleged assault upon Jacob
L. Kahn, one of the witnesses for the
prosecution, caused many inquiries to
be made of District Attorney Olcott to
day, but as the affair is little credited
1.
it is believed that it will pass without-
notice. Mr. Kahn was in court today
as usual.
William J. Byron, the seventh juror.
whose alleged indiscreet utterances to
a reporter concerning the case brought
him into much notoriety at the begin-
ning of the trial, was the first juror to
reach the courtroom. He chatted with
the court oflicers, but shunned the re-
porters. James B. Duke of the Ameri-
can Tobacco company accompanied Jo-
seph H. Choate. the senior counsel for
the defense, to court. After greeting
the attorneys pleasantly he aided J0-
siah Browne in the examination of a
huge bundle of papers before them.
Judge Fitzgerald took his seat short-
Iy before 10:30 o’clock to dispose of rou-
tine business, but it was after 11 before
the clerk called the roll of the jurors.
When this was done, Theodore E. Allen
was recalled to the stand by the pros-
ecution. He was questioned by Assist-
ant District Attorney Carpenter re-
specting the number of all tobacco cig-
arettes manufactured in 1888 as com-
pared with the number of paper ciga-
rettes made at that time. He could not
say what the statistics were. Asked
again concerning his suit against the
defendants at the time of the formation
of the trust for commissions earned, as
alleged, in bringing the companies to-
gether, he declared that all differences
had since been amicably adjusted and
that he was now on good terms with
all of them.
Heavy Advertising Expenses.
Mr. Allen looks like a philanthropist.
He has a little lock of white hair over
each ear, a long white goatee, specta-
cles and a very florid complexion. He
identified the signatures to a number of
documents submitted to him by As~
sistant District Attorney Carpenter as
those of various oificers of the Cigarette
trust.
Mr. Carpenter asked him questions
about matters prior to the formation
of the trust, which were vigorously ob-
jected to by Mr. Choate and Mr. Ful-
ler, but allowed, as showing motive.
Mr. Allen told of a conversation that
he had with Mr. Duke, in which Mr.
Duke complained of the large amount
that his firm, Duke, Sons & Co., had to
expend for advertising.
“Mr. Duke told me," said the witness,
“that in 1858 he spent $508,000 for ad-
- vertising.”
Mr. Allen went on to say that other
cigarette manufacturers to whom he
talked had correspondingly large ex—
penses and that he urged upon them
the advisability of combination. Mr.
Duke, he said, said to him that a con-
solidation would be a. good thing, as
doing away with competition in adver-
tising.
“What was the purpose of the forma-
tion of the. American Tobacco com~-
pany?" asked Mr. Fuller on cross ex-
amination.
' “It was to save the large expenses of
individual advertising." replied Mr. Al-
len; “to save expenses on salesmen. to
save office expenses—in general, to pro— '
manufacturing
products of the
mote economy in the
and distribution of the
companies combining.”
Mr. Fuller read a letter and had it
put in evidence, written to Mr. Allen
in September, 1889, by Allen & Ginter,
declining to enter into “any combina-
tion, trust or syndicate,” and naming
a date for a conference between their
agent and Mr. Allen.
Price of Cigarettes Reduced.
Mr. Allen testified, in answer to Mr.
Fuller’s question, that the American
Tobacco company reduced the price of
cigarettes to jobbers 30 cents a thou-
sand immediately after its formation,
and, in his knowledge, there had been
no increase since. The question as to
whether there were not many more
jobbers in cigarettes in this city now
than there were before the formation
of the trust was objected to and not
allowed.
Mr. Fuller tried to get Mr. Allen to
admit that he had consulted with Mr.”
Levy of the firm of Einstein & Town-
send, counsel for the National Tobacco
and Cigarette company, rivals of the
defendants, in regard to his testimony.
Mr. Allen said that he had consulta-
tions with the district attorney, and
that Mr. Levy was present at times.

ARE You THUS?
Some Pertinent Queries—A
South Norwalk Ex-
pefience-
Is your head stopped up ‘9'
Is the breath bad ‘9
Do scales form in the nose ‘9
Does the nose bleed easily ‘9
Do you sneeze a great deal?
Is there a pain over the eyes ‘9
Is the voice husky ? ‘
Do you spit up slime ‘9
Is there a. buzzing sound heard ?
Are you gradually becoming deaf ‘?
Is there a ringingin your ears ‘?
Is the sense of smell leaving you ?
Does it hurt the ears when you‘ blow
your nose ‘9
Does your nose discharge continually?
Do you snore at night '3
Is there a pain between your shoul-
ders ‘9 '
Do you hawk to clear the throat ?
Is there a dropping in the throat ?
Is the throat dry in the morning ?
Are you losing the sense of taste ‘9
Do you take cold easily ‘?
If you have any of these symptoms
you are‘suifering from cataarh in some
form. California Cataarh Cure will in-
stantly relieve and speedily cure you.
Mr. H. L. Woodworth, of 1 Burbank
street, South Norwalk, says: “I have
been troubled with cataarh for some
time; my head and nose seemed pretty
well stuffed up, and the quantities of
matter that run into my throat at night
would cause me to hawk, spit, and often
gag in the morning, before I could clear
my throat. I got some California Ca-
taarh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, and
already these symptoms are very much
better. My throat is finely free from
all matter in the morning, and my
whole head feels much clearer.”
California Cataarh Cure is for you,
too. In case of colds it is invaluable,
as it helps in breaking them up, and
entirely prevents a cold “hanging on,”
as well as attacks of acute cataarh
which so often follow a severe cold in
the head.
California. Cataarh Cure is sold by all
dealers for 50 cents; three times as
much for $1. '
