DEyoUNCEs TRUST SYSTEM.
Col. VI. G. Wetmore Says Unless IL -
Checked il VIII Overthrow Republic.
New York SunD


Colonel NJ. c. Wetmore, oil st. Louis,
the pronounced foe Of all trusts, is at the
Waldorf-Astora There he was seen
Yesterday by a reporter. TO whom he SAID:
Il believe that the trust system is the
! greatest evil the American people nave
ever had TO contend with. 1t IL more
dangerous than any war in which We
can become engaged. 1t Is slowly put
surely crushing out the manhood and
the independence OF the American people
The money trust. the gold trust, Is the
greatest evil Of them all.
Trusts are only favored for one pur-
pOse-tO make money and make more or
ii than the real capital invested would
Justify I'm any way. The trusts attempt

prices of raw material. They expect TO
control the price Of labor They do get
enhanced prices for the manufactured
product.
question 10 the individual who is not
financially interested in the profits. The
hands of the trusts Just at this time are
laid with crushing force on the COM
mercial traveller. Thousands upon thou
sands have been discharged; many more
will follow. and those who have continued
In employment will be paid lower wages.
The workingman sees the handwriting on
the wall and is organizing to defeat the

and so far-reaching in its evil influence
that unless It's progress is speedily check
il will upset our whole system of govern
ment and there will be no republic. The
trust magnates VIII dictate candidates
and policies. Ihey come pretty near uo-
ing so now
SThe people in the North and East
have no idea OF the intensity OF the anti
trust feeling in the South and West. but
| am glad to notice a marked growth in
the sentiment here.
''The people can crush the trusts in six
months II they will have the courage 10
stand together and persistently boycott
goods made by trust. They can do IL II
thew make an honest effort.
lin my opinion. there is no question
about the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan next year, and | think he Will be
elected The Chicago platform will be re-
iterated. and there will be a pronounced
declaration against the trusts. Ii Is on
the latter proposition that the main light

MAKING READY FoR BATTLE.
Baseball Park Bcing Prepared for

baseball Park Being Prepared for
Pains Great Spectacle This week.
a force of wOrkmen have been busy
for the past week arranging for the big
battle which will be fought Thursday,
Friday and Saturday evenings. The
scenery and war material Is all on the
grounds, and is being rapidly placed in
position.
An unusual opportunity Is afforded Mr..
Pain in this his latest spectacle OF Ma
nila's fall This production was the SEN
sation at Manhattan Beach last summer,
and was the crowning feature of the
Peace jubilee at Washington last May.
Perhaps no other entertainment that
he has ever given has commanded so
great an amountsof public attention as
tbis reproduction OF the most famous
naval battle since the days of Trafalgar.
n IL stated that he has expended upon
dis production more care and money
than he has upon any previous one with
which his name has ever been connected.
Intending TO give the American public
nc exact a reproduction as possible OF
the events Of this battle, in which they
are. 50 interested II is said that he has
taken this exhibit away from mat OF
mere scenic pyrotechnic display ana
through the employment of stage me-
chanics naval engineers, and dramatlc
exponcnts, has made IL as close repre-
sentation of the original engagement as
is possible upon any mimic stage. The
stage upon which this spectacle VIII DC
presented will cover over 300 feet, ana
with the advantage of the open air ana
the use of explosives, with which he IS
50 familiar, a pretty accurate idea Oh

End of Part of the Litiation Touch
Ing n Slave Inheriting Property.

The suit Of James Bell. the old negro
man and ex-slave who claims title TO an
extensive tract Of improved land on
Grace and Thirty-second streets. has
been compromised in so far as IL per-
tains 10 Il. L. w. Carter, who is now in
possession Of part of the property.
This case, which involved the capacity
of a slave TO inherit property and seve-
raj interesting questions as 10 the doc
trine of estoppel, was first tried in the
Law and Equity Court, where the plain
tiff failed to secure a verdict. II was
then taken to the Supreme Court of APP
peals by Colonel l.. 4. W. Marye. counsel
for Bell. The compromise above referred
TO. although it closes the matter a. to
Mr.. Carter, by no means ends this inter
esting litigation. Seven valuable houses
and lots are still in controversy, and
their owners are represented by able
counsel. who will uphold their clients
rights 10 the last.
This suit, aside from many picturesque
features, involves some very knotty
questions of real estate law, and has been
watched by Richmond lawyers with a
great deal of interest. Since the deci-
sion in the Law and Equity Court the
other cases have been thrown into the
United States Court by Colonel Marye.
