SAGE SCORES TRUSTS
A Menace to Free Govern
ment and Oppressors of
the People
(By the Associated Press.)

New York Aug 21.-Russell Sage in an
interview today referred to published
statement quoting J. Pierpont Morgan as
saying that the era of great trusts had
just begun, and that more gigantic cor
porations are stored in the near future,
some of which may overshadow the steel
trust Mr.. Sage said:
whether Mr.. Morgan said that or not,
combinations of all industries are a
so, but they are the oppressors of the
people"
What will be the result of such an
era?" asked a reporter.
'In such an event the American people
will revolt against them, and there will
be financial ruin the like of which this
country has nver seen-or any other"
1t was suggested to Mr.. Sage that
there was a general opinion that COM
binations at certain times were good
things for the country.
Yes" Mr.. Sage replied, when sew
eral industries are starting out in busi-
ness it is well for individuals to combine
for mutual protection until the business
is firmly established. When the business
is so established the combination should
be disrupted and conducted on individual
lines. Then if one individual became
embarrassed it would not mesn the
wrecking of the industry. .I-b6iieve it is

the talk that there are $500, 900, 900
bushels of corn slowly ripening in the

Chicago, Aug. 21.-The coroner's jury
at the inquest today over the body of
Mrs. Anne Bartholin, brought in a ver-
dict recommending that her son, William
Bartholin, be arrested and held as prin-
cipal for her murder and that Oscar
Thompson and Edward Counselman, who
are under arrest accused of completely
in the murder of Minnie Mitchell be
held to the grand ury as accessories to
the crime. The jury found that Mrs
Bartholin came to her death on or about
July Z, death being due to strangulation
During the inquest, Mrs. May Brown,
former neighbor of Mrs. Bartholin, tes-
titled that the old lady was suspicious
and lived in deadly fear of her son. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Browns testimony, Mrs.
Bartholin, in conversation a few days
before her DEATH had told the witness
that young Bartholin was nothing but a
beast and that the Mitchell family would
regret the day they allowed Minnie
Mitchell to have anything to do with
him. Mrs. Bartholin, in relating her
troubles, declared that Bartholin was a
dissipated ne'er-d -do-well, and that she
believed him capable of almost any

Especial to News and Observer.)
Hickory, N. c., Aug. 21-The Demo-
Gratis will probably have to contend
against a so-called 'Citizen' ticket in
Catawba this year. but indications are
that it will simply consist of old foes in
new dress, the same Fusion outfit with
which they have contended for the last
three campaigns. There are interesting
rumors that Buffers apparent with
dI avail from North Carolina politics is
only apparent and that he is in close
communication with his party's leaders
in this section. He, it is said, advises
against fusion by the name Of fusion but
urges that the independent movement be
given full sway. Whether or not these
reports are true cannot be definitely de-
termined, but it is worth while noting
that the Populists in this county have
always been warm admirers Of Butler
and have closely followed his political
fortunes. 1t is quite likely that his opin-
ion and wishes would have great weight
with them.
