Anti-Trust Law Is Futile.

The story that the Department Of
violations of the antitrust law, says
Walter Wellman in the Chicago Rec
ord Herald, is both true and unimport-
ant. Such Investigations have been
made from time to time ever since the
Sherman law was placed on the statute
books. Various attorneys general have
attempted prosecutions OF trusts under
that law, but have been forced to
abandon the attempt on account Of the
Inherent weakness of the act. Various
decisions Of the courts have blocked
all progress toward the enforcement Of
its provisions. 1t Is admitted by oil
lawyers who have looked into the mat
ter that the Sherman law is virtually n
dead letter and that it is useless to at
tempt prosecutions.
What is now being done by the Off
cials Of the Department Of Justice is
Just what they have been doing for
several years: when complaints are
filed Of alleged violations Of the law
they look into the facts. Sometimes
they bring suits, only to be ruled out
of court under decisions already rem
dered. Usually an investigation is an
end OF the chapter and the effort SIM
mers down to a few dusty papers re-
posing in n Department of Justice pig
eonhole. There is not trust in the
United States that fears prosecution
under the Sherman law.

MANY ARE INJURED IN DENVER
BY THE WRECK OF A PAVILION

Denver, June 3O.-A miniature tor
nado wrecked the frail betting shed at
Overland park race track at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. lifting 1t in the
air, twisting and sending 1t crashing
down upon the 40 people below.
Twenty eight persons were injured,
nineteen Of them seriously, but SO far
as was known last night, none fatally.
Many suffered broken arms or legs
Not great crowd was inside at the
time. Many had fled from 1t only mo-

dissipating just as ii seemed about TO

and gathered an immense cloud Of
dust on the golf links. Moving slowly

seventh hole Of the links it took cir

bore toward the stands. Ahead Of this
tremendous gust swept through the
grand stand, bearing immense Quanti-
ties Of sand and dust. Hats were lift
ed straight up, tossed about and lost
In the confusion. The whirling funnel
OF dust struck the frail shed erected
for betting stand. There was a roar
and crash Of falling timbers as the
whirlwind tore the building loose,
twisted 1t in its grasp and dashed 1t
down upon those beneath. The wreck
was hidden in a huge cloud Of dust
and no one saw the wreck of the bet
ting shed. An instant later the whirl-
wind was gone gust whisked the
sand away and the still. sultry air en-
compassed stands and ring. A mo-
ment later the north end of the shed,
which was still standing, came crash
Ing down, but not until many had es-
capped by that opening.
The excited shouts and cries Of pain
from the people struggling to escape
from the wreck set the whole park in
an uproar. Bleeding men swarmed
out OF the opening in the wreck.
The pavilion was Il very frail struc-
ture, built simply for betting ring.

it only with canvas. but 1t was thought
better to make it entirely of wood. 1t

in the pavilion. When the heavier
wind came up, with its accompanying
and binding clouds of dust, a cry
arose to get out Of the pavilion, that II

Russia has decided that ii wants the
American bicycle. having tired of the
more clumsy English and German ar
ticle. Such are the comforting reports
received by the managers of the Amer
lean Bicycle company, which does
much of the exporting of American
machines. Russia finds more popular
use for the machine at a moderate
price than it has found heretofore and
the many American made machines
that travellers about Europe have seen
have convinced them of the superiority
of our machines over those OF Euro
peau make. So there is an unusual de.
mand this year, a fact which pleases
the American maker who finds the de.
mand here falling off as compared with
that which existed when all America
was bicycle mad.

Threatened men live long" some
times when, for instance, they chance
TO be criminals whose counsel are anx-
ious to make a record. Almost ten
years ago man in the state of Wash
ington was convicted of murder in the
first degree and sentenced to be
hanged. That sentence has been thrice
reaffirmed, but the man has not been
hanged yet. The state supreme court
and the United States Supreme court
have had the case before them. in the
form OF exceptions and objections, dur
ing these ten years, and the con-
demned mans attorney declares that

Such attempts to cheat the gallows"

Cripple Creek, Colo, June 30.-In-

twenty-five former and present officials
in the Cripple Creek district and few
private malefactorS We're found yes
terday by the special grand jury EN-
paneled by Judge Seeds on the peti-
ton of 800 taxpayers three weeks ago.
Fourteen true bills were returned
some of them containing several
names. Only four arrests were made
last night, but others will follow as
soon as the parties for whom capiases
have been issued can be located.
The arrests made are as follows:
Barney Hage- former fine collector of
Cripple Creek; Charles Gray, John w.
Ward and Tom Furber, all expolice-
men of Cripple Creek.
These were arrested on the same
charges, which We're conspiracy and
secreting witnesses, larceny as bailee
and embezZlement, and accessory af-
ter the fact to larceny. Several months
ago Ferdinand Poefthke, stranger
stopping at the Manila house, was
robbed of $1,1O0 by two women who
he had invited to his room to drink

alton to the effect that the policemen
indicted secured the money from the
girls and made a settlement with the
Victim, giving him a small portion of

The main features of the report
bear on discoveries Of participation In
contracts by members of the school
board and municipal officers in the dis,
trict. The report says that there was
found to be many cases of this char.
acter. 1t cites that the interest of the
community has not been properly con-
sidered in the conduct of the business
of the school district and that poll
tics and factions intrude to the disad,
vantage Of the public, and that the af-
fairs Of the district have not been as
economically administered as the pub
lie interests demand.
One direct criminal charge is made
that warrant No. 1854 for $50 was
paid by the treasurer of Ell Paso coun,
ty in 1895, and the grand jury found,
as 1t believes. that this was really
warrant No. 1888, which, having once
been paid, was treated with acid, the
canceling stamp having been erased
and the fractional number added, and
was again presented and paid. 1t rec
ommends that steps be taken to re-
cover the amount Of money from the
treasurer of FL Paso county.
The charge against the county treas
