SAY THEY INCREASE PRICES.
Ex-senatOr Lee, OF Pittsburgh, Tells the
Industrial Commission His opin-
ion of Trusts.

Washington, May lathe industrial
commission yesterday heard the first
witness TO be called in connection with
its inquiry into the operation of trusts.
The witness was James w, Lee,
of Pittsburgh, attorney for several
pipe lines and oil companies and for
merly state senator Of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Lees testimony was directed spe-
cially against the Standard Oil COM
pany. Speaking of the effect Of trusts
upon the customer, Mr.. Lee said the
tendency was to increase prices until
they become extortionate. Trusts were
organized to secure monopoly and
when this was secured by closing
up rival establishments they were
in a position to fix prices, which
were, according to his observation,
generally increased in order to permit
dividends on watered stock.
AS a means of preventing trusts, Mr..
Lee suggested law making destruc-
tive competition criminal offense. He
thought the fear of Imprisonment
would intimidate some of them. Moth
ing had done so much as destructive
competition to prevent progress and
fairness. The law could be passed by
the states, and in cases of prosecution
prices charged for years could be used
as evidence. He would also suggest
that the capital of all corporations,
except those of apublie or qunsi-public
nature, should be limited to $1,000, 900.
He thought that something of this
kind was necessary, and that If a
remedy was not found the country
would be ruined by combinations Of
capital detrimental to the public in
terestS Under the present conditions
personal ambition was stifed and
many men were being kept out of
business because of the existence of
these corporations.

THE CROWD TOO GREAT.
Terrible jam at 81. Louis Thursday to SEQ
the WRrship Nashville Results
In n Panic

st. Louis, May IA vast concourse
of people filed the levee from ten
o'clock yesterday morning until five
o'clock in the afternoon eagerly await
ing an opportunity TO be ferried out TO
the gunboat Nashville anchored in
mid-stream. The privilege of transpor-
tation had been granted to but one ferry
company in order that the Nashville
may not be overcrowded. This COM
pany's wharf boat was jammed. At
noon the jam was increased. Suddenly
a small child was pushed off the wharf
into the river. Instantly policeman
followed and as the water was shallow
the child was soon rescued. The eX-
element, however, caused panic, and
several men were showed over the
edge of the wharf and waded
out. At least 20 women faint
ed and were in danger of being
trampled, but the police succeeded in
carrying every one out of the jam. No
body was injured. Several children
fell into the water during the day, but
were rescued before they got beyond
their depth.

AN UNUSUAL oFFENSE.
Arrest for tho Alleged Violation Of
One of the Postal Laws.
leir depth.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 19.-Alonzo
Armstrong, of Linden, Mo-, assistant
in the post Office of which his daughter
is postmistress, was arrested on the
charge of having committed an unusual
offense against the government. Some
time ago he wished to buy some
merchandise by mail order. The stamps
required amounted to $1.4S, and these
he purchased from himself, and inclosed
in the letter with his order. He claims
to have put the money for the stamps
in the cash drawer at the time
the stamps were taken out. There is
no discrepancy in the post Office ac-
counts, but this allegation and fact will
not get Mr.. Armstrong out of the diff
Guilty. The law explicitly forbids the
purchasing of stamps for use in lieu of
currency by any one having the custody
of them. The penalty is fine of not
less than $50 nor more than $500.

Joking with mn OmciaI.

They tell a good story about an attache
of the courthouse on Leavenworth street.
Two jokers began "monkeying" with his
telephone the other day, disconnecting it
and otherwise bothering the official.
Shortly afterward one of the jokers called
up the officials from another office and in.
troduced himself as being the chief oper-
ator at the central office, For heavens
sake see what's the matter with your tele-
phone up there" he gruhly spoke to the Of
fetal. "Whatever's the matter don't
know but your electric current is flowing
like mad into the central office here and
there's about an inch of 1t on the floor al.
ready" The official grew pale with fright,
and he rushed into the Office of the two
jokers. "Now you've done it" he began to
fume with sincerity. "The main Office has
just called me up and says that on account
OF your blamed fooling the electric current is
submerging the central office, and the girls
are quitting work. Come in here now and
fix that up" The two jokers expressed sor-
row to the official went in and pretendedto
tighten screw and then went down eel

what "KaLsomInen" Are.

"Kalsomines" are cheap temporary prep
arations manufactured from chalks, clays,
whiting, ETC., and are stuck on the walls
with decaying animal glue. They bear no
comparison with Alabastine, which is Ce-
ment that goes through a process of set
ting, and hardens with age. Consumers, in
buying Alsbastine, should see that the goods
ing else is "iust as good" as Alabastine. The
claims of new limitations are absurd on
their face. They cannot offer the test of
time for durability.

Dewey WIN Choose His Route Home.

Washington, May 19.-Secretary Long
says that the navy department will not
seek to influence Admiral Dewey in any
way in the selection of the route by
which he will return to the United
States. By an old custom of the de-

turn to the United States at the end
of his tour of service on q for
eign station in his own flagship
and in the present case Admiral Dewey
may choose his own course, coming
either by way of Suez or directly
across the Pacific, The department

country early in July, though it is
stated that he will not leave Manila
until he has completed his functions as
one of the Philippine commission at
least to the extent of terminating hos
