DECLARED TO sc ILLEGAL.


Tho beef tat has been given a
staggering blow between the eyes
The United States District Court, sit
ting in Chicago, has declared it an il
legal body operating in restraint of
trade, and therefore in violation of
the plain terms of the Sherman anti
trust law. No doubt the case will be
carried to the Supreme Court, but it
is not thought that the lower court
will be reversed. So far, Attorney
General Knox is proving the correct
ness CT his contention that there is
enough law in the Sherman Act to re-
guiate the trusts, and It it be properly
enforced, Judge Grosscup, who tried
the Chicago case, handed down a
lengthy opinion, in which he takes the
ground that combina.lQns that lower
prices as we'll as those which raise
tnem are alike III violation of the law.
1t is not. he says, a question of prices
at all, but a question OF restraint Of
trade. Prices may be lowered to the
consumer in order to kill Off small
producers, and insofar as it does that
it restraints trade. Then when com
petition is destroyed up go prices, and
the purchasing power Of ,-e consumer
becomes less, and restraint OF trade
follows. This seems TIC meet the
contention of the Standard Oil Com
nany that it is a beneficient cUrpC "a
ton because it has deSsened prices to
the consumer. Judge Grosscup's ar
gument it that it does not matter. Ii

MAJ ltI!or TO the fire. At the time CT
the fire two persons were burned to
death.
The motive for the shooting is a
mystery, both to the police and the
Wertheimer family, and Simpson, who
was very cool when arrested, refused
to make any statement. All he would
say was that Wertheimer owed him
money for something he had done and
has refused to pay him. Wertheimer
denied this, but said Simpson had de-
manded money from him as a brother
Mason.

SAILOR AND HORSE,
How the Retired Sea Captain Mad

Purchase.
In Horses Nine" Sewell Ford tells
how retired sea captain bought a
horse. The story runs: AS one who in
spects an unfamiliar object Captain
Bean looked dazedly at Barnacles. At
the same time Barnacles inspected the
captain. With head lowered to knee
level, with ears cooked forward, nos
trils shifting and under lip twitching
almost us If he meant to laugh, Bar
naclcs ey"d his prospective owner.
Captain bean squirned under the
gaze of Barnacles' big. calm eye for 8
moment, and then shifted his position.
What in time does be want any
way, jedi" demanded the captain.

cap'n. Mighty KNOWN boss. he is.
Now. some hosses don't take notice Of
anything. They're jest naturally dumb.
Then ag'in you'll find bosses that seem
to know every blamed word you say.
Them's the kind of hosses that's with
havin'."
''S'pose he knows all the ropes. JedT'
Il should say he did, capn. If there's
anything that boss amt done in his
day. | don't know what it's. Near's I

Dunno bout his timbers. cap'n, but
as fe" wind an limb you won't find a
sOunder boss Of his age in this county.
Course I'm not sellin' him fer four
yearold."
Again Captain Bean tried to look
critically at the white horse. but once
more he met that calm. curious gaze,
and the attempt was hardly a success.
However. tie captain squinted solemn
ly over Barnacles' withers and re-
marked:
Eyes. he has got some good lines, as
you say. though you wouldn't hardly
call him clipper built. Not much sheer
for'ard an leetle too much aft, eh?'
At this criticism Jed snorted mirth-
fully.

added the captain. Fact is l amt

NO OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.
Feeling Of Suspense Over Chinese AZ,
fairs at Washington.


fairs at Washington.
Washington, April 29.-No response
has come to the state department a
yet from Ambassador Mccormick al
st. Petersburg or Minister CCnger at
Picking TO the inquiries respecting
RuSSia'S demands in connection with
Manchuria. The officials ale in a
state Of suspense and uncertainty in
view of the conflict in the seml-offici
dispatches from the Russian and Chi
nese capitals. In the absence Of Off
cial statements of Russia's purpose
the opinion prevails here that these
Russian demands were really put out
in a tentative form last week and not
in regular official shape. There is good
reason to believe that the Chinese
government itself let the demands leak
out in order to secure the support of
the powers in it's refusal of the Rus
sian tenders.
Noting the intense public excite
ment over the proposition tho Russian
government. it is surm. SCI, took q i,H,
through the statement issued III st.
Petersburg. to abandon
Several of the Original Demands.
1t is not doubted that such reduction
of the maximum demands was fully
within contemplation when the tenta-
tive statement was thrown out.
If this assumption, general in Off
cial circles here, is we'll founded, then
Russia will not further interfere with
the contamination of the United
States trade treaty with China, in
Guiding as it does the new ports OF
Moukden and Takushan. On the 9th
er hand, the fourth demand, charac
terized by the st. Petersburg state
ment as 'unimportant," is not so re-
garded here, for it amounts to an in
definite continuance under Russian
direction of present conditions in
China, which will stop all reform
movements. 1t is now learned thai
in the original statement of this fourth
demand, namely, the present status
of the administration of Manchuria is
to remain unchanged,' there was a.
important element of error and thu
word Mongolia should take the place
of "Manchuria.'
The demand as thus modified CO..
tilues the status quo in all North
China.

Red Flannel Currency.

A Scotch missionary to a group Of
small islands in the south Pacific a
great many years ago found bits of red
flannel circulating as money. This cur

seen clothing of any kind. his red fan

STATUS OF CANAL TREATY..
No Date Set for Meeting of Colombian
Congress.

Washington, April 27.-William Mel
son Cromwell, the Panama commits,
sioner, called at the state department
during the day to talk with Secretary
Hay about the present status of the
Panama treaty and the prospects Of
early action upon it by the Colombian
congress. 1t is learned that the con-
gressional elections are now over, but
no date has been set for the special
session to consider the treaty. Much
difficulty has been experienced in com.
ing to an understanding on this point,
as President MarroQuin is in fact
bound, on account of the strength Of
the opposition. to await the psycholog.
ic moment to assemble the members
and insure favorable action.
1t is consequently possible that the
president will abandon entirely his
intention of calling an extra session
and conclude to let the treaty take
its chance at the regular session,
which convenes by the terms of the
constitution in July.
