Brainerd, MIMI, June 6.-News has
reached here of a case of supposed pois-
oning, and Henry Jackson has been ar
rested, charged with committing that
crime on his neighbor, John Peck, who
died suddenly in spasms and cramps.
The parties all live at Maple Grove, near
Brainerd. Peck has been working for
Jackson, and took supper at his house,
mush and milk being served. After sup
per Peck went to John Willover's near
by, and while there he was seized with
cramps, and died in about an hour, in
great pain. Before he died he said he
knew jackson had given him a dose, as
the mush was so bitter he fed most of it
to his dog. The animal has not been
seen since, and the country is being
searched for him, dead or alive, as that
will have much to do with the case.
Jackson claims to be innocent. The coro&

family is absent from the state On a

OPENING OF THE ANTITRUST CON-
VENTION.
Gov Nel.on of Minnesota DELIVER
an Able Address in Opening the
Convention and il Elected the
Permanent Presiding Oficer.

Chicago, June 6.-The antitrust con-
vont;on met at Apollo music hall yester-
day. The convention was called by Gov.
Knute Nelson of Minnesota, who, III
obedience to a resolution passed by the.
Legislature of his state, issued an invita-
ton to oil the states of the Union to
take part in a conference to devise means.
to abolish trusts and combines. Thirty
four states responded by appointing del
egates. and nearly that many states were
represented to-day. 1t was expected that
Senator Sherman of Ohio, who was ap-
ponted a delegate by Gov. Mckinley,
would be present, but he did not put in
an appearance.
The convention was called to order by
Gov. Nelson who read an address in
which he gave a history of the antitrust
movement in Minnesota which had re-
suited in the call for the convention.
The legislature, Gov. Nelson said, made
a searching investigation of the coal trust
which exists in Minnesota and the lum-
Der trusts which flourish there. The evil
dence brought out in the investigation
was conclusive, and clearly showed the
nature of the combines, but the remedy
was not so apparent. The legislature,
therefore, determined to ask the other
states of the Union to help devise a rem
edy. 1.-The operations of the trusts" said
the speaker, ARE SO intricate and secret
that the courts refuse to define them, ex-
cept in general terms. The present laws
declare them illegal but fail to provide
punishment. Relief can only be obtained
through statutory enactments which will
be sweeping and searching. 1t is for this
convention to take some action which
will lead to the enactment of efficient
laws" Gov. Nelson then dissected the
Sherman antitrust law, which he said
was but an experiment, and one which
had resulted in no practical good.
Gov. Nelson, at the conclusion of his
speech, moved that a temporary chair
man be appointed and the convention Or
ganized at once, the motion resulting in
the selection of Henry ID. Lloyd of Chi
cage as presiding officer for the time be-
ing. Tams Bixby of St. Paul was made
temporary secretary.
A committee was appointed to select
permanent officers and the convention
took a recess for a quarter of an hour.
When it was called to order again the
committee reported recommending Gov.
Nelson as permanent chairman; Edward
S. Meaney of Washington for secretary,
and ]. E. Morton of Kentucky for as
sistant secretary.
Ignatius Donnelly came to the conven-
ton with a series of resolutions which
he will ask it to adopt as o declaration
against trusts.
