ACTION BEGUN AGAINST HIGHLY
SEASONED COMBINE.
IS RESTRAINED BY COURT
JUDGE Morrow Of San Francisco en-
porarily Enjoins Concern from
Proceeding Further.

San Francisco, Oct. 16.-United
States Circuit Judge Morrow today is
sued an order temporarily restrain
ing the Federal Salt company from
carrying out the objects Of the COM
bination and to appear in court NO
vember 3, to show cause why the IN
junction should not be made perma-
nent.
The petition for the injunction was
drawn by Uni,ed States Attorney
Marshall B. Woodwork at the re
! quest of P. G. Knox, attorney general
of the United States. 1t fills a printed
! pamphlet of 1874 pages.
, The affidavit on which the petition
is based is sworn to by Thomas Turn
bull, specially employed by the de-
partment of justice to- investigate the
matter. He deposes:
THAT the Federal Salt company has
secretly entered into contracts with
nearly all of the importers, producers
and dealers in foreign and domestic
salt.
"That by means of the said con-
tracts the Federal Salt company has
gained an almost complete control
and monopoly of the salt trade n
commerce between the state OF Cali
fornia and other states and territor-
les"
Accompanying the petition IN the
case were filed a number OF amdavlts
made by dealers, consumers and gov
eminent employees alleging unlawful
agreements entered into by the com
pany and the raising of the marker
price of salt and other illegal results
? from the combination. In his petition
Mr., Turnbull further alleges that the
Federal Salt company controls about
80 per cent of the total volume OF trade
f in domestic as we'll as of foreign
salt. with the state of California AM
other states and territories; that tn
company has about 10000 tons o
salt stored in warehouses on Misslc1
J. Rock in San Francisco bay and tina
t. it is accommodating salt for the pul
pose OF creating a scarcity In tn
a market within the state OF Callfornl
1T and throughout the Pacific coast gel
'r orally, with the purpose and deslg
of raising and keeping up high price
Ct salt.
n "That the price of common ord
- nary salt, when the Federal Salt con
pany first began it's operations l
California and on the Pacific coas
N during the latter part of the year l9e
was about So per ton, and that, D

Snatchod Her Purse.

Last Saturday afternoon another
event transpired at the depot which
goes to show that pick pockets are
not absent from this city when the
crowd congregates during train time.
Miss Ida Boe, reports the loss of a
purse, which luckily did not contain
but a small amount of money at the
time. While standing in the crowd
she remembers of being jostled by a
man, who Immediately asked her par
don. Whilehe attention was attracted
in this manner, confederate had un-
doubtedly taken advantage of the op-
portunity and appropriated the purse,
being an old dodge of pick-pockets.
Miss Boe had carried money that
morning amounting to five dollars,
but luckily had taken it out with the
exception of ten cents and an Office
key when the theft occurred. The
thieves did not make much of a haul
as consequence and their chagrin
may easily be imagined.

A FITTING TRIBUTE.
St. luke's Congregation Honors It.
Former Pastor-TWo Purses
Pres ented.

Last evening, on the lawn of St.
Luke's Rectory, there was a most
pleasant gathering of members of the
congregation and large number of
friends, who had assembled to pay
their respects to Rev. D. T. Booth,
who is here from California on visit
to the old home. Refreshments We're
served consisting of ice cream, cake
and coffee and the latter part of the
evening was devoted to a short music
al and literary program. A vocal
solo was ably contributed by Miss
Gertrude Booth, and Miss IRA McCul-
Tough, niece of the present pastor,
favored those present with q recita-
tion, which was rendered in a charm
ing manner.
The most pleasant feature of the
evening, however, was an event which
had been planned for some time. I,
was the presentation to Rey. Booth o1
two purses of money. Rev. McCul'
Tough, on behalf of the young people,
presented him with q purse containing
fifty dollars, and Judge Nordin oftici'
ated in the same capacity On behalf o.
the Ladies Guild, this purse also con
tanning a like amount. The response
was made most feelingly by the old.
time rector, who spoke of his regret
at parting with so many friends and
former parishioners, whom he had
known during his long pastorship in
this city. The gathering was brought
to close by the pronouncing of the
benediction by Rev. Booth, and it was
the fond hope of those gathered that
it would not be the last opportunity
to enjoy such pleasant visit with
him.
