Deo. 30.—1n a printed brief of 2GB pages At torney General Wlckersham and Ills special assistant, J. C, Me- Reynolds, today presented to the su preme court of the United Bttaes the suit of the government in the famous tobacco trust cases, which will he argued next week In that court. The cases were tried in the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York, which, after dis missing the petition as to foreign to bacco companies and some of the; sub ordinate American companies, ad .ludged the others to bo parties to un unlawful conspiracy and enjoined them from continuing their operations and from engaging In Interstate commerce. The attorney general takes the posi tion that the findings, sweeping as they seem to have been, were not broad enough, and he asks the su preme court to extend them so as to widen their scope to take In foreign companies and Mine Individuals re lieved from the operation of the ver dict. Many other extensions of the Judgment are also requested. ' ' Coalition Traced After showing that In 1890 competi tion was free, the various coalitions are traced In the document and. facts are given to show that the combina tion has grown until Its combined as sets amount to $400,000,000. It Is asserted that the combination makes all the cigarettes for export and almost three-fourths of the smok ing tobacco and cigarettes for domes tic sale; more than three-fourths of the plug, twist and tlnecut tobacco and almost all of the snuff and littlo cigars that are made. It is declared that "tho defendants ha\e persistently exercised duress, have practiced wicked and unfair methods and used their great power in oppresslvo ways." Further it Is asserted that they have been actuated by a fixed purpose to destroy competition and to obtain monopolies. < oniputitors have gradually disap peared and tlio combination, now strongly entrenched, unduly restricts the business of those in tin trade and prevents others from entering, It is di dared. Putting aside, for the time, the ef i'i of the Sherman anti-trust law, under which th« suit v.as brought. It U contended that the combination un der the name of the American Tobac co company was illegal when It was entered Into in 1890, because it was contrary to thu common law. Con tending for the right ol congress to enact anti-trust legislation, it Is as serted that the essential purpose of the Sherman law Is to prevent Injury, not merely to reverse a course of con duct. Not Civil Right The attorney general also lays do« n the general proposition Unit "the. right freely to buy, sell and transfer property is not a fundamental civil right to be exercised without limita tion as Interested parties may de termine," and lie adds the assertion that "it is .subordinate to public policy and the lawfully expressed will of i ongress." Coming to Specific instances relative to operation of the tiust, it Is de clared that substantially all e.stab !i hed jobbers in New England were induced to throw out Independent produi ts, as were, those of Philadel phia. New York and many other Specified places. It is iis.-eited that independent job bing In New Tork was destroyed by the organization of the Metropolitan Tobacco company, Which was given an exclusive avc'iuo for tile sale of trust goods. It Is also asserted that "bush whacklnc" methods were resorted to In the use of union labels, and the method in this proceeding is de nounced as "iniquitous" and one such as is Inhibited by a civilized con science." [ndeed, it is declared that "the rec ord contains much evidence ami a vast deal of correspondence concerning up eratlons of those bushwhacking com panics which disclose amazing deprav ity and show with clearness how Hip so sinister agencies were effectively util ised." Advertising Methods Advertising methods of the trust « ire referred to as a means of influ encing both business and public senti ment, and it is said that not less than $10,000,000 were expended in this way In 1906. The attorney general Interprets the complaint as not merely directed to the acquisition and ownership of storks or other property, but us against the com pany's operations in commei Competition has been persistently de stroyed, scores of contracts have re tired skilled men from the trade, many have been forced out. and the neces sary result of the plan long followed has be^n to give the defendants power to exclude others and exeivlse mo nopoly, it la declared, Ho seems inclined to the view that a receiver should be appointed for the business of parties to the combination, and he. adds: "The very existence of certain de fendimts is criminal, and certainly they cannot rightfully complain because re strained from carrying out the unlaw ful purpose of their creation; they are wiiifuih- in positions where every art is a transgression."

E.C. MOORE CITY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS HONORED SPECIAL PLACE IS MADE FOR LOS ANGELES MAN Professor Expresses Regret at Leav. ing City, and Says Great Shackle on System Here Has Been Lack of Money "WTEW HAVEN, Conn., Dec. \V 30.—Ernest Carroll Moore, -*-' city superintendent of schools in Los Angeles, has been elected to the newly established professorship of education at Yale university. He has ac- cepted. Two citizens of Connecticut have promised $20,000 each to ward the endowment of this professorship! and it is believed that the remainder can be raised in the state, as the purpose of the chair is DOt only to afford in struction in the history and theory of education at the uni versity but to co-operate with public school teachers and su perintendents in improving edu cational conditions. Prof. Moore will take up his work fit Yale next fall. "Whllo I have the utmost regret In leaving Los Angeles, I felt compelled to accept the offer, as it Is a distinct advancement," said Dr. Moore evening, in discussing his appoint ment. "I feel that I will find a Held of larger usefulness in the east, and feel called upon to accept on that ai count, as well us for my personal ad v an cement." Dr. Moore \vas at the head of the m hoots of Los Angeles during one of tho most tempestuous periods in their history. His methods received a sweeping vindication by the voters of (lie city, who decided overwhelmingly In favor of the board of education which had supported Dr. Moore In his fight against Hellish and prejudiced interests. Dr. Moore, before coming to Los Angeles in June, 1906, was for years associate professor of pedagogy at the University of California. He bears a high reputation for scholarship nnd learning among university men an. is the author of a number of Important i lacs on educational subjects. He holds the degree of master of arts from Columbia university and doctor of philosophy from the nlverslty of Chi cago. He has contributed valuable studies to the post-graduate publica tions of both institutions. Says Schools Are Cramped When questioned lust night as to what i.s the most pressing need of the I Is of Los Angeles, Dr. Moore re plied emphatically: "Money! Education has been hampered continually in Los Angeles on account of funds," he con tinued, "and I believe most of the minor difficulties would be overcome easily if adequate financial support Is found. Teachers are at present under paid. 1 believe that, In elementary schools,'the pay should go to a max imum of $1100 and In secondary schools to $1800. The limits now are $1184 and $1500. The city needs more trade rchools, better elementary schools, bet ter school buildings, better sanitation and more sanitary devices,.and more drinking fountains. "I have the utmost faith that the people of Los Angeles will bring all these things about, and eventually will bring their standard of education up to that of the highest in the country. "I have nothing but the warmest commendation and the highest hopes for the city and the schools in leaving." Resignation Is Regretted "I learn witli sincere regret that. Dr. Moore ha« been named professor of education at Yale," said H. W. Frank, member of the school board, last night. "l.os Angeles will suffer a loss which , iii i lie mended easily if Dr. Moore leaves here. 1 am ghld in: lias been given the recognition, but I am seltish enough to want hinj to continue in charge of tlio Los Angeles schools, lie always has been in perfect harmony with the school board and his every act has been one which furthered the in terests of schools and city. Dr. Moore has sacrificed much in the past and 1 suppose we cannot ask him to sacri fice always because it is best for Los Angeles. I do not know who will be named as his successor. That is a matter which will have to be carefully gone over and will not be an easy con elusion to reach. Ho has done a. great deal, and to find a man who is capable of carrying on the work started by Dr. Moore will take time and thought," WOMAN ELECTED HEAD OF STATE TEACHERS' SOCIETY SI'KINCKIELD, HI.. Dec. SO.- Mis. Ella I. Young, superintendent of Chi cago public schools, today was elected president of the Illinois State Teach ers' association.

' ;' BAY CITY VOTES TO OWN RAILWAY SAN FRANCISCO TO REBUILD GEARY STREET LINE Largest Number of Ballots Ever Re. corded at a Special Election in Northern City—Road Will Be Extended SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30.—8y a margin of 2465 votes over the necessary two-thirds majority, the voters of San I-'i-mclbco declared today for the. municipal ownership and operation of the Geary street railroad and its ex tension on the east to the Ferry build ing and on tho west to the ocean shore. This proposal has been rejected time times during the last li\e years. Tho total vote polled was 43,081, the great est vote ever turned out in the city for a special election. When tho count of the 300 precincts was finished the figures stood 31,185 for tho bonds and 11,896 against. Thu ] supervisors are now authorized to bond the city to tlio extent of $2,0^0,000 to be used in the reconstruction of the present cable road on Geary Btreet as a modern electric system. Tho fourth campaign for and against the municipal street railroad was marked by unusual efforts on tho pan of the friends and enemies of the plan. The press of the city was divided in opinion and exchanged editorial thrusts with all tho bitterness of a general election engagement. The billboards and dead walls of the city have been plastered for months with posters. The Geary street road Is ono of the oldest lines in the city and was con structed when San Francisco uas famous for its cablo operated street railway service. The franchise ex pired prior to the Ore of lttM and the road passed into the hands of the municipality. Since that time It has been operat ed under lease from the city, but as its fa to was doubtful it never has been modernized or extensively improve. 1.

MOORE BEATS MAN WHO INSULTED WIFE REMARKS OF NEW YORKER ARE RESENTED Story of Victim Alleging Highway Robbery Not Credited by Police. Husband's Victim May Die from Injuries Henry S. Clark, said to be a prom inent utock broker of Now York city, who recently came from San Francisco to Los Angeles, Is dying at the re ceiving hospital as the result of a beating alleged to have been admin istered by tlie husband of a woman whom t'lark is said to have, insulted. Clark denies the .story and claimed that be was the victim of highwaymen, but Investigation by detectives reveals the fact that dark was not assaulted for the purpose of robbery. A hurry call for the police ambulance was sent in last night, stating that a man was in a semi-conscious condition at the corner of Ninth and South .Spring streets. Tho plan, who was found to be Clark, stated that he was uninjured and desired to return to his quarters, 828 South Olive street. Wagon Officer Sweeney, noticing blood trickling from the man's ears, decided that it was a case for atten tion by tile poliye surgeons. That his conjecture was collect was proved when Dr. Garrett stated that the man was suffering from a basal fracture of the skull and was fatally injured. Clark was able to walk to the re ceiving hospital and told an Incoher ent story of having been drinking with men ill a saloon near Ninth ami Spring streets and that after leaving the place he was followed and hit on the head and robbed. Investigation by the. detectives dis proved this story, for witnesses were loiind who stated that Clark had In sulted a woman, whose husband was in a drug store at the corner of Ninth and Spring streets. Al# efforts to find the man who hit Clark were futile last iii^lit and Clark in his dazed condition still insisted that he had not Insulted a woman but was robbed, When searched at police headquarters be had but S5 cents in his possession.

In addition the evening program win bo prepared In the city with special ref erence to the day. Already former San Franciscans now living in Los Jtagelea are talking of a baaquet on San Francisco day to toast. the energy of the former city. Special functions and entertainments will prob ably mark each evening. Work to Begin Work on tho huge giauCstand for Aviation week will begin this morn ing. Everything is In readiness on Dominguez Held, the surveying being practically completed and tho i tearing of the land having progressed to such a point that construction may b© undertaken. K. O. ESngTUtn com pany yesterday was awarded the con tract for constructing the grandstand. The stand will have 15,000 seats. Three tiers, or a total of 1000 separate boxes, will be hunt at the base of the Stand. Above the boxes will be the other seats. Each box will contain six seats. An auction sale of the boxes will be held next week. Tin' Engstrum company baa ■ con tracted to complete the huge stand by the night before Aviation week. The will give them just tan full days In which to curry out the' contract. A force of GOO men will ml put to work today and will work under "forced draught" so as 10 complete the huge stand. Arrangements have been made with the Pacific Electric company to haul special trains of lumber to the held so as to expedite matters. 'in : i iml will be 780 feet long. It will permit of an unobstructed view of the Held from every scat. Special pre cautions will be taken to make the structure strong and safe wo as to eliminate possibility of accidents. Admission price* ami railroad rates for the aviation meet will be tho rule in accordance with the original idea of the Aviation week committee. The Pa ciric Electric road has applied to th« Interstate commerce commission fur permission to make a reduction of 50 per cent in the rates to Dominguez In order to make the round trip rate 30 cents. No trouble is anticipated in securing this reduction. The Aviation week executive commit tee decided yesterday on the foilowina admission schedule: Single admission to Aviation camp, 50 cents. Admission to grandstand, seating 15, --00.0, 5(1 cents. Individual reserved seat for entire ten days, $7.50. Box with six rhairs, reserved for en tire ten days, making a total of sixty reserved seats. Including admissions, $30. The arrangement for box .seats per mits parties to secure reserved seats in a box set aside for their usu throughout the meet and all admis sions necessary lor 541 cents a day per person. The lowest rate prevailing at aviation meets already held haa been a general admission of $1, double tint offered tor the Lob Angeles meet. Tlw reserved scat charge in the boxes Is about one-fourth the customary. Every convenience possible for tho comfort of the crowds will bo installed in connection with the seating arrange ments. Provision has been made tor the sale of cushions at a nominal ratp for those who desire, and a restaurant will be installed at the grandstand it self. The committee arranged with I*. E. Behymer to take entire charge of tho ■ale of tickets, the ushering, ticket tak ing and similar details. Tickets ■will be placed on sale at Hamburger's. The advance sale of season tickets will probably begin next Wenesday. Re served seats will only be sold for tho boxes, and those will be disposed of on the order of first come, first served. There will be no auction sale or special disposition of any seats. S. B. Reeve, the civil engineer in charge of surveying the field, reported rday that he had practically fin ished his work. The grandstand site is to be staked today, but this will not interfere in any way with the con struction of the stand. The track for the aviators is to be 10,000 feet in cir cumference and will be elliptical in shape. The field proper will bo two and a half miles long and about half a mile wide. Deputies to Guard Grounds The Held will be enclosed with a canvas wall nine, feet high. Sheriff Hamniel and a force of deputies will guard the wall so as to prevent those without tickets from entering. All the highway approaches to I>o minguez are being put Into prime con dition. The Pacific Electric company will build spur tracks to the field en trance so that, the passengers will Dot have a long walk to the grandstand. A train will be run to the field every minute in order to take cara of the immense crowds expected. F. L. Wolfe was awarded the cush ion contract yesterday. He expeetn (Continued on Pace Six)
