AFTER A FLOUR TRUST
The U. S. District Attorney at San
Francisco Gathers the
Evidence.
Netc York Sun Special Ssreics


San Francisco, Nov. 13.-After begin
ming the proceedings which smashed the
salt trust, United States District Attor-
ney Woodwork has gathered material and
forwarded it to Washington which he eX-
poets will induce Attorney General Knox
to order an Immediate suit against the
Pacific Coast Flour trust. Two weeks ago
flour advanced in price % cents per bar
rel That was one of the premonitory
symptoms Of the flour trusts birth. 1t had
been just called into existence at that
time, and proceedings were far enough
along to make a % cent advance possible.
The flour trust was organized by Willard
Green Of New York, and it includes the
five Sperry mills, five Of George w. Nc
Near's Port Costa mills, the Crown Milling
company of Stockton controlled by
Schwabacher. seven mills of the Centen-
NAL company in Seattle and approximately
the same number controlled by the Port
land Mill company.

TELEGRAPHERs ORGANIZE
A Fight May Be Made OH the West
ern Union Later On.

Ne.o York Sur, Special Servioe
New York, Nov. 13.-Telegraph opera
tors are retcent regarding a report that
a general strike would follow a forcing
of the fight of the Western Union against
the employees organization by dischar-
ging men who had joined the union.
Though the telegraphers have been or
ganizing actively all over the country in
the last few months, it is not believed
they are sufficiently strong at present to
force a strike with any prospect Of sue
cess, though they are being taken into
the American Federation of Labor as rap
idly as lodges are formed. and have a
working agreement with the railway tel
egraphers.
The officers Of the New York local
branch Of the International Union of
Commercial photographers deny that there
is any intention OF striking.

treasury, has been advocated by those
who say that the government should go
out of the banking business. ',-,Zr5 .,EE =.
"While the proper custody of govern
ment money presents a different problem
it would seem that some method might be
devised under which a limited amount,
as nearly equal as possible, from month

treasury, and the balance made part Of
the circulation. @2
zone general factor of the most inn
portant nature, which cannot be- over
looked in the present situation, is the
great increase in the production Of gold
in the past ten or twelve years. This
increase stimulates trade by increasing
the monetary supply and by rendering it
easier for the debtor to meet obligations.
Such an increase would naturally be at
tended by a very considerable increase in
prices, but this increase in prices has been
very much diminished BY the cheapening
process of !; invention, and by improve

business enterprises. An Increased sup
ply of metallic money has usually been at

of wealth, but also by an unhealthful

the injuries prior to his reception at the
hospital Oct. 81. DR.. Mayo testified pos
itively that man so injured would live
twenty-four hours, possibly little longer,

as positively that the fractures were
fresh and exhibited no signs of the natural
repair processes which would become
prominent in two or three days succeeding

A $175,000 BLAZE
The Town Of oliphant, Pa. Partly

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 13.-The town of
Oliphant, six miles north Of Scranton,
was swept by flames to-day and an entire
book in the business portion was in ruins
at p. NJ, when the fire was gotten under
control. The blaze was caused by an ex-
plosion of a gas tank in the cellar of
Atherton's department store. The city
hall and jail were among the buildings
destroyed. The loss is estimated at be-
