Regarded as Most Complicated of the Anti-Trust Cases. Washington, Mey 28.—After a_four years contest the so-called “tobacce drust case” will probably be dispesed of tomorrow by the supreme court of the Tnited States. It will be the last day of the present term, and unless the case is reached then ite decision will be postponed until next October at _least. Many regard the case as the most complicated suit that has ever reached the supreme court a sa result of the Sherman anti-trust act.

These were the American Tobacco company, the American Snuff company, the American Cigar company, the American Stegie company, and the MMcAndrews & Forbes cempany, the last named being concerned in_the mapufacture of licorice paste. These were restrained from engaging In in- terstate commerce. In addition to these five combina- tions, the lower court found that there were seven coroporations which held stock in some thirty. or forty other cor- porations which called for attention.
