Attorney Generals Statement.
Attorney General Moody has given out
the following official statement regarding
the suit instituted at st. Paul yesterday by
the federal government against the paper
manufacturing companies:
On the complaint of many newspaper pub
fishers last spring that a combination in
restraint of commerce existed among manu-
facturers Of paper to control the distrfbu-
tion and sale Of their products among the
states of the Union, the Department OF
Justice began an investigation of that sub
ject, and to further aid the department in
that respect the Attorney General appointed
Frank B. Kellogg of the st. Paul, Mimi,
bar and James M. Beck Of the New York
bar a n
dence and make report thereon.
These gentlemen after an exhaustive ex-
animation Of the matter simultaneously
with that conducted by the Department Of
Justice have reported to the Attorney Gen
eral that in their opinion the facts ascer-
tertained support the complaint and justify,
in the public interests, the filing of pc
tition to enjoin the operations of the
General Paper Company, corporation Of
Wisconsin, which is the fundamentally
through which the alleged combinations to
control the prices and distribution of those
products in the western states is conducted.
In this opinion the Department of Justice
concurs.
The Attorney General directed that a
petition be filed against the General
Paper Company and the twenty-four manu-
featuring companies located In the states Of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan which
it represents to have such combination de-
clared to be an unlawful restraint upon in
terestate commerce, and a monopoly. The
petition will be filed in the United States
circuit court for the district of Minnesota
as soon as the necessary papers can be pre-
pared.

Home in Chicago.

Representative William F. Mahoney or

afternoon in Chicago. Death was due 10
kidney trouble.
Mr. Mahoney had been in ill-health for
some time past, and In addition to kidney
trouble suffered from severe lung disease.
He came to Washington early In December,
and was present when Congress convened,
but was taken ill., and remained only rev
days, returning to Chicago in critical con-
dition. He made no speeches. In the house
during his time of service, and outside the
congressional circle, where he was Well
liked for his unassuming manner ana Kindly lIl
disposition, he had but few friends In TINS

worker for his constituents.
Mr.. Mahoney was a democrat He was
first elected to the Fifty-seventh Congress,
and was reelected to the Fifty-eighth Con-
gress, carrying his district by 19,6SS votes,
against 1,546 votes received by his leading
competitor. The republicans, SO strongly
democratic was the eighth district, and SO
popular was Mr.. Mahoney, placed no can
didate in the field. -
In the last congressional campaign, how
ever Mr.. Mahoneyz did not receive the
nomina ton Preston Harrison, a brother of
Mayor Harrison of Chicago, who lived in
the eighth district when q boy, but in later
years resided in another section of the city,

nomination against Mr. Mahoney. There
was considerable opposition to Mr.. Harri-
son among the rank and file and the re-
publicans, believing they had a chance,
nominated Charles McGavin, whom Mr..
Mahoney had defeated for the Fifty sew
enth Congress. ~
Mr. Harrison was defeated. and the eighth
district normally strongly democratic, went

the district If he had received the nominal

them. In part. they are undoubtedly

neutral goods are free even when under
