FIFE TRIAL BEGINS.

Fife has lost much of the calmness that
he displayed when he arrived from

arrested two months ago. He sleeps but

room today he looked worried Several
stories of new and startling develop

have been circulated, one of them be-
ing to the effect that Flies lawyers will
implicate another man in the murder.
Mrs. Richardson, widow of the dead
man, who was acquitted recently of
completely in the murder, will appear
as witness for the defense. while her
two young sons will be used as wit
nesses for the state. Flies attorneys
will, it is said, try to prove an alibi for
him.

St. Paul Dispatch; Singular that so

the Republican majority in congress all
by the ears as to whether Cuban sugar
shall be taxed at full or one-ffth less

north and cane sugar men from Louis

whatever in the tax. On the other side
a sentin entail group are plead ding that m
less the tax is reduced poor Cuba and
her planters will be ruined. So it seems
that ruin is TO follow whatever is done
or not done. Quite as strange is the
stress congressman find themselves I'M
der to steer some middle course between
the Scylla of Cuban ruin on the one
side and the Charybdis of beet sugar
ruin on the other. 1t has forced our
own Tawney into the proposition, faith
cred by Oxnard, to collect full rates up
on imports of the Cuban sweets and
then to hand back one-fifth of it to
bona fide. domestic Cuban planters. As
we poor nortals who consume sugars
regardless of place of their origin, will
have TO pay the full price. undiminished
by this largess to the Cubans. it puts
us in the position of enforced contribu-
tors to Cuban prosperity.

ANTI TRUST LAW FAILS
That of Illinois Declared In
valid by Supreme Court.

Washington, March 1O-The United
States supreme court today decided the
Illinois antitrust statute to be uncon-
stitutional because of the provision of
the law exempting agricultural prod
ucts and livestocks from the operations
of the law. The decision was rendered
in the case of Thomas Connolly and
others against the Union Sewer Pipe
company of Ohio and was delivered by
Justice Harlan
The case grew out of the sale of pipe
by the pipe company to Connolly and
others who after securing it declined to
make payment on the ground that the
pipe company is an illegal combination
for the restraint of trade under the
number of pipe manufacturing con-
Germs; that it is a CON biuation in viola
ton of the Sherman antitrust law and
further violation of the antitrust law
of the state of Illinois
The first two contentious received
very slight consideration, the court
holding that even if the allegations
were true they could not justly prevent
the corporation selling it's property. The
opinion therefore was based upon the
third plea which Justice Harlan said
would be valid if the state law could be
held to be valid as there could be no
doubt of the purport of the act. Under
that law the corporation could be dis
solved if the law is valid. He quoted
the law at length. laying especial stress
upon the ninth section, exempting farm
products, concluding that this provision
is antagoniStic to the provisions of the
constitution granting equal protection
to all under the law. He also held that
the exempting clause is so interviewer
with other portions of the statute as to
render it impossible to eliminate it from
the law an entirety and therefore
held that the entire law must be held
to be invalid.

LONG YIELDS WHIP.
Kansan Chosen to Round Up His
Party on Cuban Tariff.

Washington, March 10.-At a confer
ence of the speaker, the Republican
members of the committee on ways and
means and Representative Cannon, of
Illinois, Representative Chester l. Long,
of Kansas. was selected to organize the
administration forces in the house. with
a view to favorable action in the Re
publican caucus on Cuban reciprocity
The object, also, is to secure majori-
ty to pass such a measure in the house
by Republican votes. This action was
taken, realizing the gravity of the stu
alton and the danger Oft the recommen-
dations of the president on Cuban re-
ciprOcity being defeated in the Republi
can caucus. MI. Longs skill in orga-
nization was shown two years ago in
the campaign on the Porto Rican tariff
bill.
representatives opposed to the ways
and means plan of Cuban reciprocity
held private meeting in the commit
tee room of Mr.. William Alden Smith.
1t was not intended to assemble the full
strength of the opposition, but rather
to have representatives from each state
delegation Those present numbered
about thirty-five. The standing of mem
berS from the several states was fully
canvassed and later it was asserted
that this canvass showed that a ma
jority could be mustered against the
ways and means proposition. The meet
ing did not, however, go into the var
ious opposition plans. It was stated
that, as between the Tawney rebate
plan and the postponement plan, the
latter was gaining strength. The matter
led to an understa nding that there
would be no effort to force a vote next
Tuesday night. Several plans of COM
promise were put forward in q tenta-
tive way, but they lacked defniteness,
and neither side felt disposed to admit
that the stage of compromise had been
reached
