1.-THE Shakers are seceders OF the
Ouakers. and differ from them in
NAM particulars. The Shakers are
communists in the stricte5t acceptance
of the term, but must not be confound-
ed with anarchists, as communism

down the present state of society. COM

Another indication of the interest
shown in the carnival is the enthus-
iasm manifested by singers in the
great Tabernacle concert and by mu-
sicians in the band contest. Professor
Stephens is we'll pleased with the pro-
gress made thus far and expects a
great attendance of vocalists at the
first rehearsal, which takes place in
the large Tabernacle Monday evening,
beginning at 1880 o'clock. The concert
will be the greatest in the history OF
Utah. Over 500 trained singers Will
be in the choir and among the soloists
will be a number of the best vocal1sts
in the intermountain country.
The idea of having a home industry
display during the carnival has met
with favor and in a few days mer-
chants and manufacturers will meet
to arrange for the exposition. Inc
display is not to be local one. Every
citv and county in the state will be
invited to make display of their
manufactured articles. If the exposi-
ton is general it will make any effort

BIG POWDER TRUST.
Backed By Millions of Dollars and
Controlled BY Three Firms

NEW YORK. June 6.-The Herald
this morning says:
What looks like a powder trust is
now in operation backed by many nil
lions of dollars and virtually con-
trolled by three big manufacturing
concerns, which will create the price
of that commodity. The three COM
panies are the Latin and Rand Pow
der company, the Hazard Powder COM
pany and the Dupont De Nemours
company all of this city.
AS d result of the combination the
price of rifle powder or what is called
sporting powder, has advanced from
1925 for a key weighing twenty-five
pounds to 81. while blasting powder
has been advanced from 81 to $2.25
per key. The new order went into eff
feet on June 1. Although the officials
of the companies say there was no
agreement between them, the fact that
prices are advanced on the same day
to the same figures might help to in
dictate otherwise.
The Phoenix Powder company in the
Havemeyer building is one OF the first
of the twenty smaller companies to
surrender to the big concerns
The Phoenix was named as next to
the three largest companies that have
advanced prices. Its stock is almost
entirely owned by the Latin and Rand
company and it's present officers are
to be replaced by others named by that
company.
The treasurer, George S. Van Wye
kle, said the transfer had taken place
at the end of May, and gave as a rea-
son that the company could not stand
out against the combination of the
three largest companies.
] I'VE have had all we could do to
I make ends meet since the company
was organized in 1885, he said, land
this latest move of the trust has been
/ too much for US"
The other officials were reticent
about the matter of trust having
/ been formed. but talked freely of the
/ advance in the price of powder. They
/ professed to have been losing money
/ for the last three or four years, owing
to falling off in prices.
The treasurer of the Hazard COM
pany said: This company. which is
one of the largest, has been doing a
/ business of many millions a year, but
/ has been running at loss for some
time and decided to raise prices"
]. H. Haskell, president of the Laf-
! lin and Rand company, said. in eff
feet, the same thing and that now
the company proposed to manufacture
/ powder al a profit.
I'VE have several million dollars in
vested" he said. and we were forced
! to raise the price
/ do not these three companies prac-
tica1ly control the output"
Yes. practically; that is about So
he replied.
"And will smaller manufacturers be
able to compete with you in the SEIZED.
ule of prices?"
81 don't think they will. very long,
! he replied, significantly.

The Three Victims Were All of
One Family.
KILLED IN A VINEYARD
SCARCELY A PARALLEL IN GRIM
NAL HISTORY.
Crime as Mysterious rs 1T is San
gufnary-A Nephew OF the Slnugh-
tered Men is in Custody Under
Suspicion of Being Concerned in
the Bloody Crime.

FRESNO, Cal, June ga crime
which, for wanton atrocity, has no
parallel in the criminal history of
Fresno county, was perpetrated last
night within two miles of this city.
The three victims were all of one
family--father, daughter and son.
They were Stephen Shahamirian, his
daughter, aged q, and Benjamin Sha-
hamirian, aged about IS, all Armenians
by birth
The triple murder occurred in the
vineyard Of DR.. MeuX in Fresno col
bay.
A BLOODY MYSTERY.
The crime is as mysterious as san
culinary. The identity of the assassin
has not yet been established. although
one person. Daniel Shahamirian, a
nephew of the slaughtered Stephen, is
in custody under suspicion.
The Inflated Armenians were last
seen alive at o'clock last night at
departure from their home for the
lonely spot a mile away where they
met their fate, is not known, for no
one has been found who saw them
leave the horse.
Just after dark. people residing con-
tiguoGs TO the MeuX vineyard heard
three pistol shots, which attracted no
special attention.
NO CAUSE KNOWN.
At Z o'clock this morning a plowman
on the MeuX ranch suddenly came
upon the bodies of The murdered AR
menians. All three were lying togeth-
er upon the ground. No cause for the
murders is known.
