ORGANIZED TO FIGHT TRUSTS.
League Formed at 81. Louis to Check
the Growth of Combines.

League Formed at 81. Louis to Check
the Growth of Combines.
ST. Louis April i9.-war is to be waged
on the trusts in business-like manner
Independent of politics. The Antitrust
League has been formed in st. Louis for
the purpose of boycotting all goods made
by the big trade combines and inducing the
consumers to purchase goods made by in
dependent manufacturers.
1t is the opinion of the promoters that
the Mckinley Administration cannot or
will not do anything TO hamper the growth
of the trusts and that their influences must
be met in an effectual and business-like
manner.
Headquarters have been established and
officers chosen. II. A. Thompson Is presi-
dent. and DIR. James Mcclure treasurer.
The league claims city membership of
5000 and a country membership of 35,-
900. and hopes 10 accomplish the destruc-
tion of all trusts in a few years.
President Thompson says that the plan Is
to pay every member a certain per cent
discount II he trades in those goods which
are not manufactured by the trusts. Cou-
pons will be issued TO merchants who deal
in such goods. The purchaser is TO be given
a coupon with each article bought and
these will be redeemed at headquarters.
The object is to make it 4 mutual organi-
zation for the protection of the purchaser
and the independent merchant and manu-
facturer. In that manner it is hoped to
create a demand for antitrust goods and
thus defeat the great trade combinations
and nullify their effort to raise prices 10
exorbitant figures. Any person may be-
come a member by forwarding his appli
cation to the league headquarters. No
initiation fee will be charged and dues will
be dispensed with.

TO RELEASE THE CAPTAINS.
Latest Phase of the Mary land-Nir
ginia Oyster Law War.

ginia Oyster Law War.
Baltimore. April 10.-The controversy
which has been going on for some weeks
between Governor Lowndes and Governor
TIyer of Virginia, over the arrest of two
captains OF Maryland oyster vessels by the
Virginia authorities has, it is understood.
been settled. The Marylanders are charg
ed with catching oysters in Virginia wa
ters. but they claimed to have been cap
tured in Maryland and to have been forci-
bly, taken by the Virginia oyster police boat
to Virginia. where they were locked up.
Several letters have passed between the
two governors on the matter. and a con-
sultation was held at Washington between
Attorney General Gather. of Maryland
and Attorney General Montague. of Vir-
ginia At this conference Attorney General
Gather of Maryland. insisted that the Ma
ryland captains be liberated. and said that
il the grand jury of Virginia should find
a true bill against the alleged offenders
the Virginia authorities could then get
them by means OF a requistion. This
course has been agreed to by Governor Ty-
Ter. who has written a letter to Governor
Lowndes on the subject. While Governor
Lowndes has not disclosed the contents of
Governor Tyler's letter. it is understood
that the captains now held by the Virginia
authorities will be liberated until indicted
when demand for their surrender to the
Virginia authorities will be made.

sweetheart and demanded satisfaction. A
all the "plebes' were invited. There are

A crowd of village lads were on hand at

ALLEGED LYNCHERS READY.
Thirteen Wen to BE Tried for Muir

Charleston, S. c.. April l0.-The thirteen
residents of Lake City who will go on trial
today on the charge of having iynched
Postmaster Baker. a negro. arrived in this
city last night. They are prepared for an
acQuittal.
1t is said that the case against NEWMAN
and Lee members OF the mob woo turned
States evidence. will be nol-prossed by
the Government. In that case only eleven
alleged lynchers will be tried.
There are about l50 witnesses to be eX-
am;ned. Members OF the Baker family
will tell the terrible story of how the house
which contained the postotiice was burned
over their heads. while rain of bullet
met them as they attempted to escape.
Ii Is impossible now to estimate the Gov
ernment's expense, but it is growing to
large amount, and a protest is expected
from the Department of Justice at Wash
ington unless something is won in the way
of conviction. Besides the able legal
force from District Attorney Lathrop's Of
fee. the department has retained the ser
vices of ex-Attorney General Barber, Of
South Carolina. and J. p Kennedy Bryan,
of Charleston. the man who. it is said.
nearly ruined Tillman's $ dispensary law, to
assist in the prosecution.
For months Government Inspectors have
been here at work. and it is said that large
amounts OF money had to be expended to
secure leading witnesses for the Govern
ment. When Government Inspector Bell
went to work some of the citizens Of
Lake City to gel them to testify the men
admitted that they could not test fly ard
hope to return TO Lake City to live. IL
they talked. they said, it meant that they
had to move from that section. The Gov
ernment officials recognized their position
and agreed TO take care of its witnesses
who believe it would be unsafe for them
to return to Lake City.
One thing which is said to be giving
the prosecution concern is that the defend
ants have hut recently Joined secret or
der which is popular with the members OF
the Jury drawn to try the case.

TWO DAYS WITHOUT A ROW,
Judge EyersOIe Holding Court in
Clay County, Ky.-win Now
Take Up Bakers Case.

Manchester, KY, June s.-Judge
Eversole has now held court in CLAW
county two days without disturbance.
During the past two days he has at
tended to other cases before bringing
in Thomas Baker, charged with mur-
der, but who has been out on bail. The
feud between the Whites and the How
ars on one hand and the Bakers and
others on the other hand-the families
all having large followings-ha ex-
listed for years. According to common
report the first bloodshed was when
the Bakers bushwhacked old man
BAL Howard, Wilson Howard and
Burch Starr. Then James Howard shot
old man Baker and finally Thomas
Baker killed William White, a broth
er of b. p. White, Jr, the sheriff of the
county. OF course, Tom Baker would
not take kindly to being brought into
court by Sheriff White, and Judge
Eversole assigned that duty to Col.
Williams, who is in command OF the
state troops that have been sent here
to preserve peace. Sheriff White insists
that Baker will be protected and peace
preserved, and he thinks he can get
along without the troops that are en-
camped here for the trial.
