Chicago, May 21.-Government off

trust investigation won the first move
in the fight against the meat combin-

porary Injunction from Judge Gross
cup in the United States circuit court
restraining eight of the large packing
firms from continuing their alleged
conspiracy to govern the price of fresh
meats in violation of the Sherman an

No resistance was made by the beef
barons, who announced through their
counsel, John S. Miller, that they
would not oppose the temporary writ,
but would hold their defense in reserve
for future hearing of the case. The
only argument made by the defense
was that there were two flaws in the
order for the writ; that the courts
have no right to interfere in any sys-

gument was boomerang for the

bill and decided that weakness exist.

The woman with the responsibility

statements of people who had suffered
from complaints similar to mine and
had been cured by DR.. Williams Pink

in other cases they might benefit me
also and began taking them. felt a

22s MINERS ARE DEAD.
Latest Estimate of Fatalities-141
Bodies Found.


Knoxville, Tenn, May 21.-The lat
est estimates as to the loss of life in
the Fraterville coal mine disaster at
Coal Creek is 226. Up to noon today
141 bodies were recovered from the
mine. Not one was recovered alive.
Every Man Under Ground Killed.
Knoxville, Tenn. May 21.-A search
of the Fraterville mine at Coal Creek
confines the belief that not man of
the force working in the shaft at the
time of the explosion Monday escaped.
The latest information places the num-
Der of dead at 1874. Only seventy bod
les have been recovered, but the
stencil in the mine and other condi-
lions encountered by the relief par
ties leave no hope that any of the
workers is yet alive.
