THE EVENING GAZETTE; TRUST lupus TOLD. How the'Cigarette Magnates Punished Stubborn Dealers. ' COMPETITION IN .ST. LOUIS. The Profits of Jobber Hauptmann Guar- anteed by a Rival Concern -— Rebate Due at the Time of the Quarrel Has Never Been Paid. New York, June 22.—After a. delay, the trial of the American Tobacco com- pany’s officers was continued today. Peter Hauptma‘n of St. Louis took the stand again, and Mr. Olcott continued his questioning concerning Haupt- mann’s business transactions. He asked if- the American Tobacco company had not owed Hauptmann for rebates when it refused in October, 1893, to send him any more goods. Mr. Choate objected to this question strongly, saying that the company should not be tried for something not in ' the indictment. Hauptmann said that a rebate was due, but he could not say whether any effort was made to collect it. ObjectiOn to an this testimony was, however", sustained. The witness said that he had noticed numbers on the cigarette boxes. They were numbered to show to whom they were originally sold, he said. Mr. Olcott tried to-find out whether Hauptmann made a profit on cigarettes after the company refused to sell him direct. Hauptmann said finally that he did not. Then Mr. Choate began cross exam- ination by asking if Hauptmann was a disinterested witness. He said he was. He showed a telegram and letter he had received asking him to appear as a wit- ness. He denied that he had received a request to appear in the case from Ein- stein & Townsend. Mr. Choate read the letter and tele- gram. They'simply said that he would he required to testify in the case and that his expenses would be paid. There was a little laughter when Hauptmann said that he was staying at the Hoff- an house and expected to stay there until this trial was ended. The district attorney said he hoped not. Many questions were then put by Mr. Ghoate in an endeavor to show that Mr. Levy and another lawyer representa- tive of the National company were known to Hauptmann because they had asked him to testify against the Ameri- ¢£An TObacco company, but he failed. I Certain Profits Guaranteed. Hauptmann testified that the contract his firm made with the National Ciga- rette and Tobacco company was made by his partner. He was asked if it was not true that he knew he would not lose money by making the new contract with the National Cigarette company. He finally admitted that the National company guaranteed to give a certain amount to his firm if the profits did not reach former figures. His firm received this money, but he asserted that he did not know how much. He admitted that his firm was to receive 25 per cent com- mission and 2 per cent more for cash under the National company agreement and to get the difference there might be between the profits under the American company agreement and that under the National company. He said he"c0u1dn't say how much of this guarantee his firm received each month, but it was over $1,000 some months. The contract was ended now, he said, but he did not know when it ended. He could not remember, he said. ~ “Haven’t you contributed to the ex- penses of three costly suits?” asked Mr. Choate. Hauptmann declared in answer to various forms of this question that he had not. “Have you ever or did you ever make as much money out of any cigarette as you did of the contract with the Amer- ican company?” asked Mr. Choate. The witness said he never had. “What tempted you to break the con- tract with the American Tobacco com- pany?” asked Mr. Choate. This was objected to. Mr. Choate by other questions showed that a Mr. Bow-‘ erline and Mr. Rosenbaum, vice presi- dent of the National company, called on Hauptmann and persuaded him to take up the goods of the new company. Choate’s Futile Probing. Hauptmann did not understand a good many questions that followed. They were all asked by Mr. Choate with a View to getting the reason Why he had not sold cigarettes of the Na- tional company before 'he did. The questions were not successful. Mr. Choate tried to show that Hauptmann’s business partner objected to breaking the contract with the American To- bacco company and was finally won over by the National company’s rep- resentatives. ' Mr. Choate kept up the attack on the witness to show how the contract with the National company was made, but the witness could not remember, and Mr. Olcott objected to such purpose that the attack was unsuccessful. “When you go back to St. Louis, are you going direct?” suddenly asked Mr. Choate. “That depends on circumstances.” “Will you show your fairness by mailing to me a copy of the contract between your firm and the National company?” asked Mr. Choate. “Well, I don’t know as I've got to do that.” “Why didn’t you tell Mr. Brown of. the American company that you had made a new contract when he called am you a few days after you made it?” “It was my own business.” Then Mr. Choate got him to say that only 6 out of 40 jobbers in St. Louis sold other brands of cigarettes than those of the American Tobacco com- pany. There were no restrictions on retailers, he said. “Don’t forget to send me that con- tract,” said Mr. Choate in closing. On redirect examination Hauptmann said that when he sold to jobbers he had to allow them 10 per cent out 'of the profits. “Did the National company restrict you from buying any other brand of cigarettes than yOur own?” asked Mr. Olcott. The witness said no, but Mr. Choate’s objection was sustained. The witness said that it was a disad- vantage to a house not to have a con- signment agreement with the American Tobacco company, as there was not so much profit in handling the goods with- outthe agreement...

Y , took Miss Ethel Randolph of Flushing out wheeling recently. The two left New Brunswick for home, but took the wrong fork of the road. On and on they sailed, and when they discovered their error it was dark. “ We shall have to find a farmhouse for the night,” said Weirs. “No, we won't,” replied the young lady. “We must go home. ” With this she sped off in the darkness. There was a snap, and the wheel stop- ped. Her chain had broken. A farmhouse, that of All:_ was found at last, and the two wander- ers werevicared for. When Weirs entered the breakfast room in the morning, who should be sitting at the table but an old sweetheart from Patchogue. “Bless me!” said Weirs in astonishment. “Don‘t be frightened,” said the young woman. “I’m no ghost. I was Sophia Crandon, all right, but now I’m Mrs. Albert Holly, Jr. I was married last month. ” There were felicitations, and then Miss Randolph entered. “Well,” said Weirs, “I’ll be married next month. Won’t I?” he inquired of the lost bicy- cle. girl, and the reply settled every- thing. And so they are to be married, and all because of that broken chain.— Boston Globe.- Had Hard Luck. “Up against it,” gloomily remarked the man who pronounces “athletic” in four syllables. “How’s that?” asked the woman who wears white gloves with black stitching.

Reeled off 560 miles in no time. Went to a guy I know and bet him I could ride more miles in a week than he could. It was to be decided by our cy- clometers. Bought new cyclometer, went up in attic and began to turn. Struck a hot box at the two hundred 1 mg seventy-eighth mile and stuck fast. Never happened to a cyclometer before. Just my luck.
