VICTORY FOR ANTITRUST.

At the conclusion Of the paper, dis
cussion OF the report of the committee
on commercial law was resumed. T..
IL. BuSbec OF North Carolina offered a
resolution providing that the report
be recOmmitted so far as that portion
referring to combinations was con
cerned and that committee be ap.
pointed with instructions to report
remedies for trust evils alleged to
exist. The resolution was seconded by
George Whitlock of Baltimore, Il mem
hcr Of the committee, and it was
though there would be no debate, but
Seymorc ID. Thompson of New York
offered Il resolution similar to the one
proposed by Mr.. Busbec, with the cx-
ception that it proposed to refer the
report back to the committee on com
mercial law, with instructions to re-
port also on labor monoplics, muscle
trusts" as the speaker termed the
labor unions. Over two hours were
spent in parliamentary wrangling over
the resolution.
Finally a resolution offered by e. n.
Judson of Missouri, directing that the
report be rccommitted with instruc-
tion to the committee TO report rem
cdies for llegial combinations, which
threaten commercial intercourse, was
adopted. This action is regarded rs a
victory Of the party which contendcd
that the subject OF trusts is an appro-
pirate one for the American Bar asso-
citation to consider.

BURDlCk MYSTERY REACHES
THE STAGE.

The Buffalo Evening. Times is re-
sponsible for the following story:
1t was announced this morning at
the Academy theater that the stock
company would put on "Over the
Quarry Brink for next weeks bill. 1t
is said that "Over the Quarry BRINK
follows the details of the Burdick MUIR
der case.
Mrs. Seth T. Paine was offered
$500 for one weeks work, to play a
small part in the play. She refused,
saying she had no dramatic aspirations
at the present time.
Over the Quarry Brink is from
the pen of Joseph F. Brandt, the well
known author of twenty melodramas.
1t has four acts showing the office of
Edward Bradshaw, a manufacturer of
envelopes; Lawyer Maitlands resi-
dence, Seadshow's den, the brink and
bottom of a stone quarry and a par
Tor scene in Mrs. Bradshaw's Paris
home.
Miss Bergh Hope will play Mrs.
Bradshaw, whose husband is MUIR
dered in the den. The leading man,
Mr.. Bostwick, plays Lawyer Matt

foreigner who never entered into the
Burdick case. He kills Bradshaw and

If this is especially suited to a hall

Dutch room has the head of Queen
Wilhelmina fooled upon red leather

leather lacings.
Leather pillows are so desirable and
popular that many women have
learned to elaborate charming designs
upon them and to make table mats and
scarfs for use in the same room with
the pillows, but these are too hand

purpose than fragrant balsam pillows

j. B. HAGGIN AT THE CLIMAX
OF HIS GREAT TURF CAREER


James Ben Ali Haggin is the domi-
nant man on the American turf to-
day He owns more thoroughbreds
than w. C. Whitney, August Belmont
and James r. Keene. combined. He
breeds from three ITO four hundred
yearlings every season; owns two
stock farms, thousand brood mares
and numerous stations. And yet this
man is scarcely known to one in a
thousand habitues Of the race track.
Haggin scarcely ever visits a race
course to see his horses run. He may
be seen occasionally at thoroughbred
horse sale, particularly if there are any
mares to be sold. Catalogue in hand,
he will sit patiently until the mare that
he fancies is led into the ring. Then

Mr.. Haggin's chief characteristics.
"As silent as a Turk" is just as APP
plicable to Haggin as. to any citizen of
the Sultans territory. He is probably
eighty years old, but nobody knows
just how old he is except himself, and
he does not even whisper it to his most
intimate friends. Haggin is a million
