MORE TRUSTS TO BE PRORED.
Twenty-Eight in All May BE Inspect
ed-The Anthracite "~COmbine."

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-In discussing
the present and prospective litigation
against the trusts Attorney General Knox
said, to-day, that there were twenty-eight
trusts in the United States that might prop
erly be Inspected by the legal department
of the federal government as to their meth
DDS. He said that a list of the diferent
industrial combinations, commonly known
as trusts. had been carefully gone over by
the department and it was the opinion of
the officials that the number stated needed
careful consideration. He said it was not
10 be understood that all of these would
result in litigation, but there was at present
uncertainty as 10 the legality Of the
methods of these combinations, and. as
the government would have no favorite,
means would be taken TO see that all these
operated according 10 the present laws or
they must modify their present methods.
Another official i'm the Department of JUS
tiCe said that this broad statement sufi-
GENTLY noted the attention which the gov
eminent might give 10 the so~called anthra-
cite coal combine. There have been many
reports to-day that the President had de-
termined TO proceed against this combine"
As a fact, he knows IL is included with
many others and will receive the same fair
and close inspection. and II there is proper
reason TO suspect that the coal trade is
controlled or partly controlled by a combin-
alton or agreement efforts will be made to
have a showing with remedial results.
The governments programme for the i'm
mediate future In the beef trust suits is as
follows: The district attorney at Chicago

communications from all over the country

the limited force OF the department here

lie Washed Himself Carefully Before
Going to Bed on the Night Doe
Lung Was Murdered.

Captain of Detectives Gerber was busy
yesterday on clews concerning the murder
Of Doc Lung. 1t was said that during the
Sunday night that Doc Lung was playing
fantan he won a nickel from his brother.
Dong Gum Hong, who is called Buffalo
Charlie" This nickel was battered and
rough. When Chin Hee's trunk was
searched after his arrest Wednesday night
this nickel was found in the bottom OF
the trunk along with many other coins. Ii
was said last night by Dong Gum Hong
that Joe Noey told him that Chin Hee took
a sponge bath Sunday night after he came
in. This aroused the suspicion of the other
Chinese as Chin Hee was known TO not
take baths often.
ice Noey said he closed L. Lungs place
Sunday night about 1880 o'clock and then
went in one of the back rooms TO sleep.
The other Chinese went upstairs to bed.
Joe Noey said he had been asleep some
time when he was aroused by a knock at
the front door. He opened the door. he
said, and let in Chin Hee. Joe Noey said
that was about l o'clock Monday morning.
Chin Hee, he said, then went to the rear or
the laundry and Invested himself of his
clothes and took a bath in one of the big

lie said he was attracted to Chin He's
washing by the fact that it was a rare oc-
currence. After Chin Hee took his bath,
Noey said. he took an undershlrt and
placed it in one of the big laundry tubs
and washed IT, afterward placing ii along
side the stove to dry. The other shirts he
took Monday morning TO Hop Sings, on
Illinois street.
1t was also learned yesterday tina a
woman living in q block across the street
from Doc Lungs laundry saw him enter
the place about II o'clock Sunday night in
company with another Chinaman. The de-
t~ectives are unable to learn who this other
Chinaman is.

pointed administrator of Doc Lungs pos
sessions. Yesterday all the laundry appar-
atus Of Doe Lung was appraised by two
Chinese and then sold by MIR. KregeIo to
Doc Lungs brother, Dong Gum Hong.
Dong says he will again operate a laundry

MEAT QUESTION SETTLED
Right Food to Take Its Place.

'The shortness OF the meat supply and
the high price OF steak is not an unmiti-
gated evil. on the contrary. it is a prob
able blessing" says the Brooklyn Eagle.
IF meat could be raised 10 a price that
would make it prohibitory it might stin be
OF good result. because it would teach those
who depend almost entirely upon IL TO
widen their dietary and learn 10 enjoy
many good things OF which they are now
ignorant. To many. especially in the cities,
there are but three foods; meat. potatoes
and bread. The weary monotony OF this
programme. the unsatished but indefinite
longings for a widening OF it. affect appe-
lite and surely affect spirits and temper.
The laborer goes 10 his work filed with
meat. potatoes and bread. At noon he
finds cold meat and bread in his dinner pail.
and at night he is confronted by meat and
potatoes. sometimes separate. sometimes
combined into a greasy stew. sometimes
chopped into hash.

the Sounriere volcano in st. Vincent was
more active. The earth was trembling at
Basseterre and volcanic rumblings were
heard.
News OF the disaster in Martinique
reached here by the French war vessel
Suchet Friday morning. Nearly every one
here has relatives in Martinique, and in
tense sorrow prevails. All the stores here
are closed and the flags are flying at half
mast. The mountains Of Guadeloupe are
shrouded in thick clouds and frequent
heavy storms continue. The people are on
edge with anxiety, fearing that La SOuf-
friere may become active. A light earth
quake shock or a slight increase In the
usual smoking OF La Souffriere would pre-
cipitate a panic here. IL Is believed. how
ever. that there is no local danger.
The British Royal Mail steamer Esk,
which called of at Martinique at 10 o'clock
last night, reports standing off shore five
miles. sounding her whistle and sending up
rockets. She received no answer. The
whole sea front was blazing for miles. The
Esk sent a boat ashore, but it could rot
land on account of the terrific heat. which
was accompanied by loud explosions. Not
a living soul appeared ashore after the boat
had waited for two hours. Fire and ashes
fell all over the steamer.
In the afternoon a French '~coasting
steamer arrived here from Fort de France
seeking assistance. as all the country was
burnt up. the stock was dying, all the
plantations were charred. the country peo-
pie were flOcking into the towns, and IA
mine was feared. The steamer was loaded
with food OF all sorts and was sent back
to Martinique at Z p. m. The captain Of
this vessel reported that some thirty per-
sons left ST. Pierre by the 6 o'clock boat
Thursday morning for Fort de France, and
consequently were saved.
All attempts 10 get to st. Pierre are
barred by fire. The closest observation
possible showed houses still blazing and
streets strewn with charred bodies. 1t is
certain that the whole town and %neighbor-
ing country for miles were utterly de-
stroyed. and it is feared that few. if any,
OF the inhabitants escaped.

PARIS. May 10.-A cablegram from the
Governor of the Island of Guadeloupe con-
tains the latest news Of the Martinique dis

An amending procession OF inquirers who
have friends and relatives on the stricken
island is arriving at the ministry of the
colonies. which has telegraphed TO every
possible source for ormat A few
private kilograms received here renew the
hope that some of the inhabitants of st.
Pierre escaped.
The bishop of Martinique sent a cable
message from Fort de France, forwarded
at $50 D. m. yesterday, announcing the
safety OF Pastor King, of st. Pierre, who
escaped the disaster and sought refuge at
Morne Rouge. 1t is hoped that others fled
there. Gable messages have been received
by the southern route. All the northern
cables are interrupted. At least fifty fami-
lies of Bordeaux are bereaved. Most of the
business of St. Pierre was transacted
through Bordeaux.
At a meeting of the French Cabinet this
morning the minister of finance, NJ. Gail

by the Martinique disaster. An official of

conspiracy among themselves for bidding
up, through their agents, the prices of
live stock for a few days at a time, so that
the market reports will show prices much
higher than the state of trade will warrant,
thereby inducing owners to simultaneously
make large shipments, and, by reason Of
the resulting large offerings, the defend
ants obtain live stock at prices much less
than it would bring in the regular way of
trade.
1t is also alleged they nave engaged in
and intend to continue an unlawful COM
bination and conspiracy to arbitrarily, from
time TO time, raise, lower and fix prices,
and to maintain uniform prices at which
they will sell, directly or through their
agents. fresh meats to dealers and con-
SuTners, holding secret periodical meetings
and agreeing upon the prices to be adopted
and enforced until at a subsequent meeting
the same may be changed, restricting and
curtailing the quantities Of goods shipped
whenever necessary 10 the maintaining Of
the prices fixed by imposing against each
other penalties, establishing a rule for the
giving of credits to dealers and the con-
duct of their business, with penalties for
violations, keeping a BLACK list of de-
linquents and refusing to sell TO them.
The bill charges further that in viola
ton of the act of Congress the defendants
have made and imposed arbitrarily uniform
charges for carriage for delivery. when no
such charges have been customary in the
trade or would be made but for the COM
binatiOn and conspiracy, thereby increaS-
ing the charge of meats to dealers and con-
sumers; that they have made arrangement
and agreements with officers and agents
of common carriers TO receive, by means
Of rebates and other devices, unlawful rates
for transportation, and have thus monopO-
lized, and unless restrained will continue
to monOpOlize, the commerce in live stock
and fresh meats.
An injunction is therefore prayed ~enjoin-
ing the defendants and their agents and
attorneys from continuing any of these I'M
lawful proceedings and from attempting
to monopOliZe the commerce. A discovery
of the books, papers, etc. is asked. as well
as a subpoena for the defendants to appear
