Farmers Will Attempt to Break a Trust by
Agreeing Not to Use Binding Irvine.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
BLOOMINGTON, March ia mass con-
vention of the farmers of Mclean county
is called to be held in this city on the 23d
instant to take action regarding the bind
ing-twine trust. The farmers are very
much worked up over the high price of
Irvine. and they advocate general resolu-
ton on the part of farmers not to use bind
ing Irvine this year atany price. A great deal
of wheat and oats is raised in central Illi-
nois each year, but the crop this year will
not be more than half as large as it would
have been but for the action of the Irvine
trust.
Similar meetings are being called in near
ly every county in the wheat district Of
Illinois. An enthusiastic meeting of the
farmers of Livingston county was held at
Pontiac, attended by hundreds. Resolu-
tons were adopted, declaring that the
farmers will under no circumstances use
binding Irvine this year.
The Anarchist Case Finally Closed.
OTTAWA, March 15-The Supreme Court
of Illinois denied. to-day, the motion to
correct the Judgment in the case of Fielder
and others against the people, and at last
the Anarchist case" has been disposed of,
so far as the Supreme Court is concerned.
After the United States Supreme Court had
refused to grant a writ of error, and those
condemned to death had been executed and
the others were in the penitentiary, their
attorney moved the Supreme Court to cor
rect the Judgment. The particular portion
of the Judgment sought to be corrected Is
the wording of the first part of
the order Nov, on this day again
came the said parties" ETC., the
defendants attorneys urging that the par
the order. The court, in denying the mo-
ton, holds that it has no original jurisdic-
ton of parties in such cases, its Office being
to review the record made by the trial
court and determine whether error has en-
tered into the trial. The parties appeared
in this court by attorney. 1t would be i'm
possible under the law, the court says, to
bring parties convicted of a crime from the
penitentiary or jail to this court to be
personally present when the record of their
trial was reviewed and passed upon.
