Conspiracy to Do an Illegal Act.
Eighteen defendants, members of the
Northern Illinois Soft Coal Dealers AS
ISOLATION, were found guilty of conspir-
acy to do an illegal act in restraint or
public trade and were fined $500 by de-
cision handed down by Judge o. II. Hor
ton in Chicago. Nine defendant officers
of the Retail Coal Dealers Association
of Illinois and Wisconsin, who had been
found guilty and fined 500 each on pro
forma verdict, were denied Il new trial
in another opinion. The two associations
were indicted by the special coal lnVes-
tigating grand jury summoned III Janu-

may be sustained in this State for con-
spiracy, under either the common law or
the act of 1874. or the antitrust act OF
1891" Judge Horton says. The aver

sustained, and, in my opinion, the indlct-

Are Arrested at Hunting on.
The other night at midnight an express
car attached to the east-bound train on
the Erie Railway was entered by rob-
bers just outside of Englewood, Chicago,
and completely looted. The robbers
threw undesirable express packages
along the road all the way from Ham

packages beside the track and notified
the officers at Huntington, where the ex-
press car door was forced OPEN AS this
was done one of the robbers dashed out,
firing two shots from his revolver, and
nade his escape. The police then made
their way into the car and found two
other robbers hidden behind some pack
ages. They were covered with revolvers
and placed under arrest. On their per-
sons were found large number of val
liable goods. The interior of the car was
looted, as every package with the excep-
ton of one had been pried open. This
package contained about $1,000 worth OF

oLEoMARGARINE DEALERS WIN,
Massachusetts State Law Is Hard Hit
by Decision of Judge.

The Massachusetts State law against
the sale of oleomargarine received Sc
we're blow in the Superior Criminal
Court in Boston, where Judge Bishop de-
cided the case of the commonwealth
against Carl Himberg in favor of the de-
PENDANT. This was one of the famous
oleomargarine cases. and was selected for
trial as a test case. The decision vindi-
Gates the claims of the oleomargarine
dealers On all points, and will probably
overthrow the State law against the sale
of the product. This decision determines
the fate of nearly all the other cases
awaiting trial. 1t is probable that an
appeal will be made to the Supreme
Court. Judge Bishop rules in effect that
it is not unlawful to make and sell oleo-
margarine which resembles butter in
color. There was no evidence of the in
PRODUCTION of any substance for the pur-
pose of coloring an article which would
otherwise be oleomargarine.

EXPECT TO FORCE WHEAT UP.
Promoters of the Farmers Trust Talk
Confidently of Plans.

Confidently of Plans.
The farmers trust held a large and en-
thusiastic meeting i'll Indianapolis. A
membership of over 100000 is claimed
and it reaches into every State. BY Sep
TENDER the president claims there will be
100000 members. Wheat must not be
sold by members for less than 81. The
idea of the promoters is that when the
grain dealers find that the society is in
earnest about the matter and will not sell
their grain at less than the minimum
price they will hasten to pay that price
for fear that the price may go much high
err There is no restriction on the mem
bers as to how high they may sell their
crops. They hope to hold enough wheat
off the market by fall so that prices will
boom. Plans We're perfected toward the
organization of the society in Marion and
adjoining counties in Indiana.
