BLOW 1T A TRUST.
Kansas City Live Stock Associations
an Illegal OrEa nization.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept 20-United States
District Judge Foster made sweeping de-
cision this morning when he declared the
organization known as the Kansas City
Live Stock Association illegal under the
provisions of the antitrust law. The ex-
change is an organization of commission
men who control the sale of live stock in
Kansas City. All stock which enters the
city must pass through the hands of this
organization Judge Foster enjoins the
commission from doing business, and de-
clares it an unlawful combination.
Judge Foster defines the interstate law
and says: 1T is indisputable that all the
live stock shipped to these defendants for
sale from States other than Kansas or Mis-
souri,, after it has entered the current OF
commerce between the States, continue and
remain subjects of such commerce until the
transportation is terminated and the prop
erty becomes part of the general property
of the State 1t is also well settled that
while this property is the subject of in
terstate commerce no State, municipality
or other power but Congress can impose
taxes, restrictions or regulations upon 1t.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 2O-The news
of the decision rendered by United States
Judge Foster declaring the Kansas City
Live Stock Exchange a violation of the
Sherman antitrust law caused great deaf
of suppressed excitement at the yards here
to-day. Just what effect the decision will
have on the methods OF business at the
yards in the future is a matter of coijec-
ture. Some members OF the exchange say
the dissolution of the exchange will be a
severe blow to the livestock interests If it
stands the test in the higher court. They
say that the business, as carried on Under
the rules OF the exchange, has been reduced
to a scientific basis aud guarantees to ev-

CHEAP NAVAL ARMOR.
Inventor Carpenter Thinks He Can
Make Plates for 500 a Ton.

READING, Pa, Sept. 20-Several gov
eminent officials were in this city last week
in consultation with j. II. Carpenter, the
steel projectile manufacturer, whose propo-
sition to make armor plate for 500 a ton is
now before the armor board. By his new
methods he claims to have eliminated a Sc
rious diffiulty which all have to contend
with-that is, the acid reactions in the
molten metal which have prevented steel
from being used with more confidence
thus saving an enormous waste of castings
which could not be used because they were
unsound and full of blowholes. A plant is
now being erected at Cramp IL Sons ship
yards, Philadelphia, under Mr.. Carpenters
supervision, which will soon be ready for
the making of castings and the carrying
out OF any further experimental work
which he may desire to enter into.
The present method of making steel for
arfnor plate is by what is known as the
open-hearth process, and it takes from
eight to ten hours to convert iron mixed
with steel scrap into steel, while by the
new process the same amount of steel is
made in less than an hour, and without the
dlthculties of casting incident to the OPEN
hearth method

Attempt to AssasSinafe the Author of
"a Lesson I'm KISSING"
LONDON, Sept. 2-Some excitement and
considerable comment has been caused in
musical circles by what appears to be an
attempt to assassinate Miss Ida Orme, the
well-known song writer, author of "A Les
son in Kissing" which Louise Beaudet has
recently made famous in the United States.
Miss Orme, who is said to be an American.
although other reports have it that she is
of English birth. was, according to the
story told, entering her residence at l
o'clock Saturday morning, when a man
came up to her and asked for assistance.
Miss Orme says she gave him a shilling.
and that then without a word of eXplana-
ton the man drew a revolver and fired at
her, the bullet traversing her right breast
and setting her blouse on fire. Miss Orme'S
assailant fled and has not been arrested.
The wound inflicted is not dangerous one.
In an interview on the subject Miss Orme
says that the man who fired on her was
slim, dark and spoke with an American ac-
cent. When questioned as to the motive of
the seemingly murderouS assault Miss Orme
attributed ii to a continuance of alleged
prosecutions to which, she says, she has
been subjected for ten years past at the
hands of a millionaire Boston lawyer.
Miss Orme was in New York some six or
seven months ago and made her headquar-
ters at the Ditsons' establishment She is
described as being clever and eccentric.
