in Country.

Boston, Oct. 1S.-Michael j. Slatterv
one Of the best ball players ever turned
out in South Boston, died at the Car
ney hospital, Sunday. after short i'll
ness of stomach trouble. Until re-
Gently Mr. Slattery had appeared to be
in robust health. and no one except his

wide. He played in the National
league. the New England league and
other minor associations. He was
born ana reared in South Boston in the
vicinity of d and Silver streets. his

PACKERS NO BETTER THAN
FELONS AND WILL BE DRIVEN
FROM MONTANA.
Says There Never Was More oppor-
tune Time in Which to Attack
Trusts.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 26-Con-
corning the five suits instituted by
him against the so-called beef trust to
prevent it's further operation in Mon
tana, Attorney General James Dono-
van has prepared statement setting
forth his reasons for the somewhat
sensational procedure. The gist of
Mr.. Donovan's statement is, that the
packers are operating in Montana con-
trary to the constitution of this state;
that they are no better than other al
legged felons, and should and will be
punished to the extent of the law.
So far as Montana is concerned, Mr..
Donovan regards the beef trust as the
most far-reaching in it's effect of all
combines. He also. advances a new
method for dealing with trust prob
lens and says:
Donovan's Statement.
''The situation in Montana is this:
The constitution expressly prohibits
any and all conspiracies in restraint of
trade or to affect the price of any ar
ticle. The penal code makes this con-
spiracy penal offense. The constitu-
ton also provides that foreign and do
nestle corporations are on the same
footing. This trust has come here and
is operating under the terms of these
laws. 1t not only controls the selling
price of it's products throughout the
state, but controls the local markets
as we'll.
THE constitution of Montana also
expressly prohibits corporations MAX
ing this state the place Of sale of prod
ucts controlled by combines. The law
prohibits the forming of trusts to do
business in Montana and provides for
the forfeiture of their property. 1t
the operations of the beef trust in
Montana if the courts will put the
construction on the statutes that was
apparently the intention of the law
makers.
''The way to solve the trust question
is to cut off the sale of their products.
If they can not sell their products, par

RATE REGULATION MADE CUES
TON OF HOUR BY NOR
TOMS MOVE.
Many OF National Legislators Bonn
barded With Letters From West
Calling for Action.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-Walter Well
man in a Washington special to the
Record Herald says:
Railway rate regulation is the burn
ant contribution to the discussion of
it was made by the interstate COM
merce commission in it's annual report
to congress- 1t takes up the subjects
of the regulation of rates, private cars
and indirect determinations in most
interesting manner.
At the capitol a noteworthy change
in the sentiment of public men has
taken place. When the subject was
first preached by President Roosevelt,
many of the more conservative sena-
tors said no such legislation could be
was not wise, they added, to try to
regulate the universe. Constitutional
difficulties stood in the way. And so
on.
Turn In the Tide.
The turn in the tide was marked by
the appearance of Secretary Morton's
authorized interview in these dis
patches. At first some of the old SEN
atOrs were inclined to think Mr.. Nor
ton little presumptuous, for a new
conner in the government. One or two
of them sneered a little. But Mr.
MortOn's interview met the purpose
in view. 1t demonstrated that there
was a way in which something could
be accomplished. 1t offered tentative
ly a workable plan of compromise. It
is satisfied both shippers and railway
managers that President Roosevelt
wanted one that is just to both sides.
Above all, it reused public senti-
ment. Letters by the thousand are
pouring in upon Washington particu-
larly from the west, urging action.
Most of the writer's like the Morton
plan, which gives the shippers govern
ment supervision of rates, and gives
the railroads legalized pooling of their
earnings.
Now, even the most conservative
senators say something must be done.

One Combine Wins a Point.

Until the supreme court shall have
passed upon the question now before
it, the International Harvester COM
pany of America may continue to
transact business in Montana, the
curt having announced this conclu-
sion with regard to a motion to dis
solve the injunction restraining the
defendant from doing business in Mon
tana, which was argued before the
court a week ago.
Attorney General Donovan brought
a suit against the Harvester company
under the law forbidding the forma-
ton of trusts and asked for a Temporal
ry injunction to prevent the concern
from continuing business in the state
pending the determination of the suit.

force they must soon quit operations.
1t is nonsense to say they can not be
reached by law Combinations must
obey the law as we'll as citizens.
Prosecution Will Succeed.
Il do not care at this time to de-
tail the evidence I have secured in this
my movements, thus acquainting the
companies in advance, but l do want to
assure you that there is no product of
this so-called beef trust whose sale
in Montana will not be prohibited
within the next sixty or ninety days
This trust cannot hoodwink the people
of Montana any longer, thus vastly de-
preciating the worth of the livestock
industry, one of the greatest of the
state.
There never was a more opportune
moment in the history of the country
than to present to attack the trusts.
Public sentiment is ripe for it and the
courts ought to and will deal with
these people the same as with common
criminals. 1t is made a penal offense
for this beef trust to do business in
Montana with the intent of fixing
prices both as regards buying and
selling, and the representatives of these
CORPORATIONS in this state are just as
guilty of felony as any other criminal.
The laws of Montana should and will
be enforced to the full extent.
Montana has for years been robbed
in Chicago by this packinghOuse clique.
Not being satisfied with this, the
packers are now engaged in robbing
the consumer as we'll. 1t is indeed time
to call halt

A "Private" John Alien Tale.

"Private" John Allen, former ant we'll known congressman from Missis- sippi, once told good story on himself which a friend in Washington related the other day, says the Washington Post.
 One afternoon as Mr. Allen was re- turning to his home from his campaign fin the district he met an old colored man in the road whom he had known since very small boy.
 "How are you getting along, Nose" inquired MT. Allen, as he approached the old fellow.
 Raising his hat from his hoary head, the old negro said: "Oh, Ise alright. How's you, Mars John. Whats you doin'?"
 q am running for office so that can represent these people in congress-" replied Mir. Allen.
 Mars John, hope you'll git the office yo' father and grandfather had"
 "What do you mean, Uncle Nose? My father or grandfather never had any office."
 "Yas he did. Mars John. Yas he did"
 "Why, what office did they hold?"
 "What office? Why, jus the same office as yo', Mars John--candidate- always candidate"
