TIME TO THROTTLE TRUSTS,
When They Can Drive Honest Men to Suicide
as in the Following Sad Case.

CHICAGO, March IA more than or
dinarily distressing suicide is laid
ut the door of the National
Cordage Company and Its monopo-
hstc methods. This evening farmer
Rood Williams shot himself through the
heart in the presence of his wife. at their
home. 276 Wabash avenue. Two years
ago Williams invented q method of making
paper Irvine. and sold to the Deering
company the right to use his invention for
the manufacture of bindiDg-twine. 1t is
alleged that Williams then endeavored to
form stock company for the manu-
facture of Irvine for other purposes. but
was continually harrassed and circum-
vented in his efforts by the agents of the
National COrdage Company. who. 1t is said.
succeeded in breaking mp every plan he
formed for the establishment of q
Irvine manufacturing plant. For two years
Williams fought against the Overwhelm-
ing odds and gradually grew more
aud more respondent, until the
last few days he has had q
spell of melancholy which rap
idly gained firmer hold on him until to-
night he was almost a raving maniac when
he committed the startling deed.
