BEGINS ON DRUG STORES.
Missouri Attorney General Starts Out
to Enforce Antitrust Law.

ST. Louis, May 27.-Under the state
antitrust law. Attorney General Grow
today entered suit in the circuit court
to annul the charters of every retail
drug company in the city with the ex
ception of four. The suit was brought
on the ground that the retail druggists
who were members of the St. Louis
Apothecaries association had notified
the wholesale drug concerns not to sell
to the four retail firms not members
of the association, the penalty being
that the wholesalers would lose the
trade of the entire association.
The attorney general also sued to re-
cover 500 a day, from the time the St
Louis Apothecaries association made
its announcement until the present
date, this being the penalty under the
antitrust law. The four firms against
whom the association is making the
fight are so-called cut drug stores.

sion with which to back Jeffries at pre-
vafling odds. Bowling expects another
big commission from England to put on
