All Of the necessary preliminaries
having received attention at the hands
of special committees. the formal
transfer of the property of the Des-
eret Wooden Mills company to the
Provo WOODEN Mills company, was eff
fected yesterday morning. and now
the occupation of the former corpora
ton is gone. for it is absolutely with
out holdings. The amount of the pur-
chase price of plant and stock was not
made public, but it is known to be
in the very near neighborhood of s75.-
900, of which amount, some $40, 600 was
for the stock of manufactured goods.
In payment for the property, the stock
holders of the nDeseret company re-
ceived $4,000 in cash, and the remain
der in treasury stock of the Provo
company, there being $4,000 of this
stock before the inroad was made upon
1t.
AS stated by The Herald would be
the case, the board of directors of the
Provo company held a meeting yester-
day morning for the purpose Of hear
ing the report of the special committee
to which was some time ago referred
the matter of consolidation and pur-
chase, with instruction TO give all of
the details of the deal the closest at
tention. This committee reported that
the Deseret stock had been transferred
to the store of John c. Cutler C
Brothers, which firm will retain the
agency of both mills, and an eXamina-
ton of the title to the real estate in
volved, had resulted in its approval.
The result of the appraisement of
stock and plant was also made, and
the figures and recommendations were
accepted by the board The formal
ratification of the contract OF sale was
then made and the transfers were
made. the deeds to the property being
recorded during the afternoon. In
them the consideration of transfer is
set out as $4,000. 1t being desirable
to give the Deseret people representa-
ton on the board Of directors, John
c. Cutler resigned as a director and
his place was filed by the election of
Frank w. Jennings. Mr.. Cutler ac-
cepted the office of director at the last
election under protest and gladly re-
tired in favor of Mr.. Jennings. His
reasons for not desiring membership
in the board was that his firm is agent
for the mills, and therefore should not
have a place upon the board. The
other stockholders of the company Gid
not view the matter in the same light,
however, it is probably needless to
say, and the board of directors ac-
cepted his resignation only upon his
repeated demand, for Mr.. Cutler has
been one of the most progressive mem
bers of the board.
The matter of the early operation of
the Deseret plant was referred to
special committee, whore duty it shall
be to make a thorough investigation
into the needs of the trade and ascer-
tain whether or not one plant will be
able to turn out sufficient goods for
the fall run. The Provo mills have
been working on spring and summer
goods for some time past, and it would
therefore be needless for THE Salt Lake
mills to operate on the same line. When
work is resumed here, it will be on
fall or winter goods

HOW SHE GOT 1T.
The Story About Fairs Latest VIII
Is Given Out.

San Francisco. March 19.-It now turns
out that the reputed latest will of James
G. Fair was left in charge of Mrs. Nettie
L. Cravens, a principal in the public
schools. who was a great friend of Sena-
tor Fair. The will was written in the
house of a Mrs. Haskins with whom Mrs
Craven was living, and in the presence
of both witnesses.
Mrs. Craven says it came about in this
way:
Senator Fair had gone to visit her.
Their conversation turned to wills, and
Senator Fair said that his lawyers did
not seem to get his will just as he would
like it. Fair made several remarks which
led Mrs. Craven to propose that he make
a new will then and there, and have her
as a witness. and that ne make pro-
vision in the will for fund for the sup
port of school teachers who had been
teaching twenty-five years or more. to all
of which the late senator agreed. and
then sat down and wrote the most re-
cent document which had been presented
to the court.
The reason assigned for keeping the
new will so long in the background is
that the custodian did not look at the

TRUSTS ILLEGAL.
Important Decision by Judge Sew
ems OF Michigan.


Detroit, March 19.-Judge Severns,
IN the United States district court to-
dav. rendered an important decision
bearing upon the Sherman antitrust
law.
About years ago, the Merse. War
rem. Michigan and National Capsule
companies entered into an agreement
to pool their interests and carry on
the business of manufacturing gelatlne
shells for capsules as one institution,
under the style of the United States
Capsule company. The Merse COM
5,anv haiked, and filed a bill to perpet-
nallv restrain the United States COM
fany from doing business, on the
ground that it was an enterprise TO
mt I'D prices and bar the competitors
ont of business. The defense was that
the new company was not formed to
raise prices, but to lessen the cost of
production, stop the ruinous competi-
ton and yield better products.
Judge SevernS takes the position that
tho trust was formed in violation of
the laws of Michigan as well as the
act of Congress.
'.It became so apparent, said the
fudge. in connection with his opinion,
that the combination was intolerable
under the Michigan laws, it was not
necessary to apply acts OF Congress
which bear upon the same question. :"
The case will doubtless undergo a
review by the appellate court.

CATHOLICS AND K. P.'S.
Most Peculiar State of Affairs Mt Fall
River,

hlVeTs
Washington, March 19.-The Fail River
dispatch was shown to Mgr. Satolli by
his assistant, Dr. Rocker, who supse-
quently explained the situation thus:
Mgr. Satolli has written to Bishop
Harkins, of Providence, r. /, suggesting
that the facts are so eXceptlonal IN the
Fall River cases that it would be well, II
the bishop saw fit, TO supend Temporarily
the application Of the rule relative 10 IL
of P. members
The exceptional circumstances as stated
to Mgr. Satolli are that two of the mem
bers of Fall River lodge are about 10
die If they leave that lodge they Tor
felt their insurance money, and II they
stay in it they cannot receive the sacra-
ments. Mgr Satoll suggested that 1t
would be proper to modify the rule as to
permit these two members TO have their
insurance without being debarred from
the sacramentS. 1t also appears that the
two Fall River lodges were exceptional
in being made up entirely of Catholics,
and for this reason, Mgr. Satolli suggest
ed that it might be desirable 10 suspend
the rule in order that members might
have the benefit of Easter sacraments.
The suspension is not OF a general char
acter and is due entirely to the special
circumstances at Fall River.
Mgr. Satolli also wishes it understood
that he merely advised Bishop HarkinS
that facts warranted temporary suspen-
