injunction Against Packers Came

Injunction Against Packers Cannot
Be circumvented.
Washington, March %. - The de
partment of justice is closely watch,
ing the developments of the merger by
the beef packers in Chicago and will
be ready to meet any new move to
circumvent the injunction granted by
Judge G%rosscup.
1t is maintained by the department
that a merger of all the packing plants
will not affect the injunction. That In.
junction must be dissolved before
the beef packers car ignore 1t. 1t is
assumed that the packers will appeal
from the decision Of Judge Grosscup
and have their case heard by the su
preme court of the United States.
Should they attempt to ignore tho
Injunction by merging all their prop
critics the department will proceed
against them for contempt of court.
and this is a remedy which It is be.
lieved will be eve mor effective
than the injunction itself, because
there will be severer penalties.
The lawyers of the department will!
also meet the merger when effected
with a suit under the second section
Of the Sherman act which provides
that every person who shall monop.
olize or attempt to monopolize any
part of the trade or commerce among
the several states or with foreign
nations shall be deemed
Guilty. Of a Misdemeanor.
and IN conviction shall be punished
by a fine not exceeding $4,000 or by
Imprisonment not exceeding n year.
or by both, said punishment to be in
the discretion of the court.
The development of the merger viii
be followed closely by the attorney
general and his assistant attorneys.
and every effort made to prevent set.
ting aside the injunction granted by
Judge Grosscup or it's evasion. The
new Elkins law will also be employed
against the merger, and it is believed
that it will be most effective in the
way of preventing the granting OF
preferential rates by the railroads.
The new law makes it illegal to at
tempt to secure such preferential
rates, as we'll as to grant them. It
also prevents granting passes or free
carriage or any other favors whatever
to favorite shippers, and the inter-
state commerce commission is pre-.
pairing to watch carefully develop,
ments of this kind and aid the depart.
ment of justice in prosecuting those
who are guilty of violating it in any
particular whatever.

VARIOUS BRANCHES OF THE
DEPARTMENT BEING RE.
ORGANIZED.

Washington, March 2S.-The state
OF mental uncertainty and worry
which has existed among the minor
officials and employees of the treasury
department for several weeks has be-
come almost a panic. The demoraliza-
ton of the service is no more appar-
ent in Washington than it is in sew
eral Of the larger cities where the
treasury has a large force of I'm
ployes.
The large number of dismissals and
transfers that have been effected by
the present treasury administration
and the obvious willingness OF the
head of the department to entertain
stories against officers heretofore
trusted have caused CONSERVATION,
and have confirmed the belief in many
quarters that Secretary, Shaw takes
the palm among recent secretaries Of
the treasury as a headsman.
The reorganization of the customs
service, although it has already
brought about the removal of Assis-
tant Secretary Spaulding and many
other changes in the personnel Of the
service both in Washington and New
York, has only just begun. The steam
boat inspection service is being re-
organized, and, as many persons be-
lieve, with good reason.
Yesterday it became known that
Walter s. Chance, chief of the divis-
ION of special agents, was
Slated for Transfer
to a minor position, reducing his pres
ent salary of SO a day to something
like $4,000 a year. Chance has held
Office for several years and has given
exceptional evidence of integrity and
ability in the opinion of several lead
ing officials of the treasury, both of
this and former administrations. Sec
rotary Shaw has felt for some time
that the division of special agents
was in need of reorganization. He
made the statement some months ago
that he believed many government Of
ficials outlived their usefulness after
a service of four, FIVE OF six years,
and that this was especially true of
the special agents of the treasury.
Chance has had a long experience.
William p. Williams, the assistant
treasurer of the United States at Chi
cago, is to be dismissed unless he can
be induced to resign. Secretary Shaw
began an investigation Of his Office
some time ago., and it is charged that
the assistant treasurer has been car
rying on his books, unreported for
some time, a shortage Of 5000 due to
purchases of short-weight gold coins.
The Investigations relating to Cen
eral Appraiser Jewell at New York are
being pushed. A report on this case
is expected within a few days and the
present outlook is that a successor to
Jewell will be appointed.

the following season. (2) The YOUNG
plants are attacked just as they are
coming through the soil. (3) Smut
does not remain in the soil in form to
do any damage to following crops.
(4) It has been said by some that
seed wheat that is two Or more years
old will not produce smut, even
though smutty. This, by experiment,
wheat kept two and three years, pro-
of the same strain. The Tornado
hyde treatment by sprinklipg or by
spraying has proved a perfect success.
There are also n number of smut
Treating machines On the market
which do very satisfactory work.
Summary-Procure the plumpest
best colored grain you can get for
seed. Use no other, If it can be avoid
ed. It is a much more certain way Of
getting rich to feed inferior grain to
took than to lee it for seed.
If in doubt whether grain will ger
inmate OF not, 1t is easy to make a
test of it in q small box Of moist sand
or dirt. However, it is hardly a wise
procedure to use any grain for seed
purposes which looks so poor as to
cause one to doubt whether it will
grow.
Grade out all small or shrivelea
grains. This will also remove the
weed seeds.
Treat all the seed used.
Treatment: Use formalin or (46
per censa formaldehyde) at the rate Of
che pound of the liquid to forty-fve
gallons of water. Apply this water
solution to the seed grain in any man
ner which allows all grains to become
moist ,ver tEe entire surface.
Sprinkling and shoveling is as eft
fective as dipping if we'll done, and Of
course much more rapid. A small
hand spray pump will be found very
useful for applying the solution. Place
the grain upon q tight floor space or
en- a canvas, spray or sprinkle on the
solution and shovel or rake over the
grain until seen to be evenly moist.
Leave piled a few hours before SOW
ing.
The grain for seed should be meas
ured before treatment and again he
fore seeding to ascertain how the drill
should be set in order to SOW the re.
quired amount of the swelled seed.
The same method of treatment pre-
| vents smut of oats, barley ind millet.
It takes about three-fourths of q
gallon Of the solution to each bushel
of wheat and one to n and one-half
gallons to each bushel of oats. barley
or millet.
The same solution prevents potato
.scab, il the,tubersa are soaked In 1t lfor

spraying method. Use one-half gallon
of the solution per bushel Of well

Technicalities Surround the Sentence
Of Rooney.
There is some speculation yer the
Rooney case. even after Judge Pol.
lock resentences him, making the date
of the execution six months in adj
vance, instead Of three, as under the
old law. It is said that Rooney was
convicted under the. old law nnd any
sentence imposed must be under the
new law, which provides an additional
penalty to. that imposed underline law
that governed murder cases at the
time Rooney was convicted. in that it
Is made a condition that he must re-
main in prison six months before ex-
ecution instead Of three. Many attor-
neys say Rooney can escape the gal
lows under the change of law. and
that he cannot be placed cn9trial un.
der the same charge again. IL he
should escape on the technicaiity. the
! state will be: able to convict him Of
Joint highway robbery and Impose .,
life. sentence.

FLOOD SITUATION WORSE.
at La Crosse, Wis.-Heavy Crop
Damage in Vicinity.

La Crosse, Wis. Sept. 21.-The food
situation was worse Saturday at this
point, the river having risen six inches
more during the night, the stage OF water
at noon Saturday being 1S feet. The
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
tracks on the river front were under six
inches of water and the food had entered
the Easements Of numerous wholesale
houses along Front street.
The big pontoon Bird &c connecting this
city with La Crescent, Mtnn., was
early Saturday morning tipped nearly
over by the food and only the prompt
action OF a large crew of br1dgemen pre-
vented 1t from being washed away. The
damage to this structure shuts off all
communication with this city for thou
sands Of Minnesota farmers who trade
here.
In North La Crosse the water was
three feet deep in some of the residences,
and French island, opposite the city,
is almost entirely submerged, hundreds
Of farmers there suffering total crop
losses.
Reports received here estimate the
crop damage in this immediate vicinity
at $500,000. Townships in the nearby
counties are heavy losers on account Of
innumerable bridges being washed away.

"Wednesday adds greatly to the serious

deep. Opinions differ as to the damage
to the corn crops, but authorities agree
that 1t will amount to a large sum.
Wires on the Northern Pacific railroad
are down in several places.
Milwaukee, Sept. 18-The weather
bureau In Milwaukee reports light to
heavy frost throughout Wisconsin
Wednesday night, with a probability
that it was killing in many localities.
The northern and central portions suf-
fered the most, the southern section re-
porting light frost.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 18.-Heavy clouds
prevented frost Wednesday night in the
eastern half of Nebraska. In the ex-

COLOMBIA MUST ACT SOON
Only -Four Days Remain for Ratif-
cation of Canal Treaty.
Suggestion Made a. to Real Cause OF
Probable Defeat Of Hay
HeFPan Pact.

Washington, Sept. 21.-Only four
days remain within which the ratifi-
cations OF the Panama canal treaty
must be exchanged. Dr.. Herran, the
Colombian charge, transmits promptly
to the state department such details
Of proceedings In the Colombian con-
gress as come to him, but what their
nature is he declines to reveal. He
realizes the severity OF the situation,
but he has not had any instructions to
request an extension Of the time for
ratification, nor has the American gov
eminent intimated, so far as known,
that it Is anxious to grant It The
state department is simply waiting.
In some quarters the suggestion is
made that real stumbling block to
the ratification of the treaty might be
removed if the new Panama canal COM
pany would consent to the payment to
Colombia of stipulated portion of
the $40,O00,00O which it is to receive
from the American government for it's
rights, franchises and property along
the route of the proposed canal. Ac-
cording to the bill reported to the COL
ombian senate that government wants
$4,000. 900 of this money, but 1t is be-
lieved by some persons familiar with
South American affairs that compro-
mise might be reached whereby half
that amount would be accepted by
Colombia. The latter government
thinks she is entitled to some portion
Of the money. 1t is also suggested
that Colombia might be willing to fore
go insistence on some OF the other
important amendments which have
been proposed If she were compensated
by the Panama canal company.
Minister Beaupre hae abandoned
hope Of the ratification Of the Panama
canal treaty. He cables the state de-
partment under date OF Bogota, Sep
TENDER 10, that the situation is un-
changed, discussion seems hopeless and
the congress will probably adjourn on
October 20.
