HELPING TRUSTS KILL COM
PETITORS

The following, taken from the Gro
Gerry World. is apropos to the closing of
the Hill bakery in this city, K.
Under present competitive conditions,
as administered by the great trusts OF
he country, the consumers OF one Sec
ton furnish the money for the extermi-
nation of independent compt titors in
another section. For example: The
Biscuit Trust has just advanced its
whole list of prices throughout the East,
but in Cleveland, o, it has lowered
them. The reason IS that a rev indie
pendent concern has just started in
Cleveland, and it must forthwith be ex-
terminated. The earth and the fullness
thereof was made for the Biscuit Trust,
therefore any attempt to get a slice OF
it for anybody else must be punished
by the commercial guillotine. So down
60 the Trusts Cleveland prices, the
war of determination is on, and the
trade and consumers OF other sections
are levied upon for the wherewith-be
cause the Trusts dividends must not
be disturbed by such tri6ing matters af

'"The Old Burnt district of Indiana again
furnishes the chairman of our state COM
mittee,' said Congressman Watson yester-

chairman in Indiana for the last twenty
years has come from that same district,

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Speeches by Messrs. Turner, Ross and
McEnery-Batch of Claims.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Again to-day
the Senate's session was devoted entirely
to speech-making. Mr.. Turner, of Wash
ington, concluded his address on the Phil
ippine question. He was followed by Mr..
Ross of Vermont. with a thoughtful and
carefully prepared speech in which he also
discussed the Philippine question. His pre-
sentation of the subject was given thought
full attention by his colleagues. The text of
his argument was a resolution introduced by
him several days ago, declaring that the
provisions of the Constitution do not, I'M
aided by act of Congress. extend over
Puerto Rico and the Philippines; that the
United States take sovereignty over Puer-
to Rico, and the Philippines unrestrained
by the provisions of the Constitutions: and
that the successful discharge of this duty
demands the establishment of a separate
department OF the government to take
charge of all outlying dependencies of the
United States and the passage of a gen.
eral law. making appointments therein

MOLINEUX'S TESTIMONY.
Evidence Given Before the Coroner
Admitted by Recorder GOR.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-In the trial of
Roland B. Molineux for the murder OF
Mrs Katherine j. Adams, Recorder Golf
to-day admitted as evidence the testimony
of the defendant when he was a witness
in the coroner's inquest into the death of
Mrs Adams. The defense fought bitterly
against the admission of this testimony and
half the day was spent in discussion of its
admissibilty. Finally the recorder ruled
that Molineux, while before the coroner s
jury, was not charged with murder and
that Mr. Osborne might place Molineux' S
testimony before the jury.
Two damaging fiat contradictions be-
tween Molineux's testimony at the inquest
and the evidence produced in his trial ex-
list. At the coroners inquest Molineux de-
MED ever having used or seen any of the
tri-crescent robins egg blue paper. In the
trial the Burns letter, signed by Molineux
and written on such paper, was produced
and acknowledged by him. Molineux also
denied at the inquest that he ever ,sent
for patent medicine by mail. This same
Burns letter, signed by Molneux, is an
order for a patent medicine. Not all of the
testimony of MolineuX at the inquest was
read to-day, but such portions were Sc
lected as Mr.. Osborne desired to bring
before the jury.
After adjournment to-day Mr.. Osborne
said that he still had four more witnesses
to call, two being handwriting experts.

PLANT WILL BE CLOSED.
Rod Mill Mems Strike Kills an An
dersOn Industry.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. 23.-Thc strike at
the American Wire AMI Steel Companys
plant in Anderson has assumed a new and
grave import for the operatives in the rod
mill and the hundreds of others in the wire
and nail mill departments. The manage
ment of the company intimated Saturday
that green men would be taken on in the
place of the striking operatives in the rod
MILL If the latter did not return to work.
To-day the company has abandoned its
plan and has announced through Supern-
tendent f. c. Gedge that the mill will be
closed. A large number of cars, which have
been standing on sidings awaiting the out
come of the strike situation, have been
forwarded to other mills now being oper-
ated by the American Wire and Steel Com
pany. The shutdown will in a short time
affect almost 500 other employees, as the
wire and nail departments of the plant are
dependent on the rod mill for supplies. 1t
is estimated that the supply of rods now on
hand will be consumed by Feb. l. when the
entire plant must be closed. This condition
of affairs is regretted on all sides and very
little sympathy can be found in any quar-
tiers for the rod mill operatives. The whole
situation resolved itself into a refusal of
the Anderson rod mill employees to return
to work at an advance of ~ per cent. in
their wages because the wages of a few rod
mill employees elsewhere was not satisfac-
tory to the Anderson operatives.

NEW LEAGUE PROSPECTS
MIR. QUINN SAYS HIS BALL ASSOCIA.
TION is NOT A MYTH.
IL Necessary 1t Will Begin with Six
Observation-Disclosures Defeated by
Billiardist Schaefer.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Harry d. Quinn,
of the proposed new American League.
who passed through this city to-day en-
route from Boston to Philadelphia, said:
'T have been to Boston and Providence to
get line on the prospects of the American
Association in these cities. In Boston /
met with great encouragement. Matters in
the Hub have progressed most favorably.
We are solid as a rock there. Charles
River Park has been leased and there are
several big moneyed men behind the
scheme. Mccarthy, the old ball player,
will manage the club there. In Providence
I did not find matters just as / desired.
In fact L hardly think 1 can induce the
people there to join us. They feel like
clinging to the Eastern League, owing to
the shorter circuit. 1 understand the
Providence club did not make much, If
any, money last year and they feel a
bit timid about going into any bigger
league under the circumstances. We have
been handicapped in this city by the diff
ficulty of securing grounds suitably To-
Gated. We have not entirely given up the
idea of getting New York however and
stranger things have happened than that
we should locate here. 1t is the city above
all i should like to round up the circuit.
With Providence out We shall probably try
to secure Washington. This would make
our circuit Washington. Philadelphia and
Baltimore in the East, Chicago, st. Louis.
Milwaukee, and Detroit in the West. If
necessary we will go on with six clubs.
The new organization is no dream, as has
been insinuated. 1t is an actual and live
fact / shall hold several conferences in
Philadelphia this week with men of that
city, Washington and Baltimore, and shall
have everything arranged so We can COM
plete our organization at the meeting we
shall hold in New York next week"

Property Made a Trust.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ANDERSON, Ind, Jan. 23.-Judge H. G.
Ryan, of the Superior Court. made ruling
to-day in a suit to declare trust and APP
point trustee to take charge of the money
of Mrs. Thornton Granger, mother of B. II.
Dyson. of this city. who brought the suit.
Mrs. Dyson was the owner of real estate
which was sold during the summer.
amounting to $4,000. She was past seventy
five years of age and quite feeble, both
physically and mentally. Thornton
Granger, in the absence of the son, con-
tracted a marriage with the mother and
on the showing made to the court, Judge
Ryan held that the motive was a sordid
one as large part of the money had been
recklessly spent and Granger had not
worked day since the marriage. trust
was created and a trustee appointed to take
care of the money, which had been protect
ed in one of the local banks by an injunc-
ton.
