MoRMoNs TURN DUBOIS DOWN

CATTLE CONVENTION NOTES.
Highly Optimistic Reports by the
President and Secretary.

Denver, March 15.-The convention
of the Colorado Cattle and Horse
Growers Association was called to or
der at the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday by President Conrad Shaefer
and welcomed to Denver by Manager
Geo. w. Ballantine of the stockyards.
In his address President Schaefer
urged the necessity of railroad legis-
lation.
In regard to the market for cattle
President Schaefer said:
Il believe that it is a perfectly feas-
ible and practical proposition to build
our own market here in Denver. Cat
tlemen west of Denver can easily ship
this way, and if they made regular
practice of this they will find less and
less occasion to go any further to find
buyer. We can well afford to sell
at a lower price than at the river,
when we figure in the freight. the
shrinkage, the return fare for ship
pers, and the other expenses that are
incident to the journey of 500 miles
further. l believe that If the dele
gates to this convention would adopt
strong resolutions expressing the be-
lief that it is the part of wisdom to es-
ta'iish anu Duili up oul iiOlht net
that the moral effect of this action
would be to advance the growth of
this market. We will all agree, L
think, that a home market for our
stock at Denver is thing greatly to
be desired by all of us, thing that
we can afford to labor for"
Secretary Fred p. Johnson's report
showed that the association has
brought about extremely good results,
for the money expended. The legisla-
tion secured has been greatly needed,
and other laws, equally salutary, the
report ventured, would be secured at
the next general assembly. An i'm
portant matter set forth in the report
was the fact that the agricultural col
lege has finally become of great use
to the cattlemcn. 1t stated that since
the appointment of Il. H. Grubb as a
member of the board of regents of the
institution, many kinds of reforms of
interest to cattlemen have taken place.
The report of Treasurer T. S. Har-
per showed that the receipts for the
year have been $1,622.06, and the dis
bursements $1,39267. leaving bal
ance on hand of $231.39

Indians Ask for Justice.

Chief Joseph. the famous warrior of
the Nez Perces tribe of Indians, is max
ing his annual visit to Washington
He comes every winter to appeal to the
President and Congress for the settle
ment of claim of his tribe.
Because of Chief Joseph's leadership
in the Nez Perces war he and $50
other Indians of his tribe were depriv-
ed of their allotments of land. They
have been trying ever since to get what
they regard as their share of the land
or its equivalent in money. They have
been appealing to Congress to grant
them justice, claiming that they were
not bad Indians before 1877, and have
been peaceable and well-behaved ever
since.
The time having passed for them to
get an amendment in the House to the
proper appropriation bill, they want
to get an amendment tackled on in the
Senate, and they went to the President
to ask that he help them to get what
they want. The President said he
would think the matter over. AS
Chief Joseph had been brave warrior
and good citizen since he laid down
arms. the President was inclined to
sympathize with him. The $50 Indians
Will be satisfied with either their por-
ton OF government land or its value
in money. and an effort will be made
to have them allowed land.

such prominence by making him the
hero of the battles, sieges. fortunes
his novels dealt.
1t is said that an interesting legal
fight will be waged and that the wife
will oppose the divorce. She is held
in high esteem by the people of North

zens turned out en- masse to fight back
the flames.

MERGER ILLEGAL
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT.
Northern Securities Company Over
thrown-Dissent of -Four Out Of
Nine Justices-opinion by Harlan.

Washington, March 15-In the
United States Supreme Court yester-
day an opinion was delivered in the
merger case of the Northern Securi-
ties company against the United
States, IN favor OF the governments
contention that the merger was illegal
The opinion of the court was handed
down by Justice Harlan, and it upheld
the decree of the Circuit Court for the
district OF Minnesota in every particu-
Lar.
Four of the justices dissented from
the five constituting the majority. The
DIVISION in the court was due to a
dlnerence of opinion as to the right of
fedora control of state corporations.
The majority opinion proceeded on
the theory that congress has a right
under the Constitution to control inter-
state commerce, no matter by whom
conducted, while the minority or dis
senting opinion. was based on the
theory that in the present case the eff
fort is to regulate the ownership and
not interstate traffic.
Soon after Justice Harlan had con-
cluded his presentation of the case it
became evident that the court had di-
vided on the questions at issue and as
other opinions were announced it de-
veloped that there not only had been
very close shave for the govern
ment, but that one of the members of
the court who cast his vote with the
majority entertained opinions of his
own, which fact rendered the division
all the more marked and interesting.
This was Justice Brewer who, while
he concurred in the result announced
in an independent opinion of his own
that he held the view that previous
antitrust decisions had been more
sweeping than was justified.
-Four of the nine justices dissented
outright. There were Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices White, Peckham
and Holmes. The opinions of JUS
tices Harlan and White were long.
while those of Justices Brewer and
Holmes were comparatively brief.
All tcld the court consumed two
hours and three-quarters in disposing
of the case. The fact was noted by
several persons that the argument in
the case was begun December IA, just
three months previous to the decision.
For so important case this is con-
sidered a very brief interim between
the arguments and the decision
The case decided yesterday was
brought by the United States against
the Northern Securities Company, a
corporation of New Jersey, the Great
Northern railway, a corporation of
Minnesota; the Northern Pacific Rail
way. corporation of Wisconsin;
James j. Hill, citizen of Minnesota,
and w. P Clough, d. Willis James,
John S. Kennedy, j. Pierpont Morgan,
Robert Bacon, George f. Baker and
Daniel Lamont, citizens of New York
Its general object was to enforce, as
against the defendants, the provisions
of the statute of July 2, 1890, com
monty known as the antitrust act, and
entitled AN act to protect trade and
commerce against unlawful restraint
and monopolies."

Dissolution Of Parliament Seems Im-

Dissolution Of Parliament Seems Inn
minent.-Free Trade Unionists An
tasonized.-Resuit Doubtful.
London. March 13.-No less than ITO
members of the House of Commons put
themselves on record last week as will
ing to turn over Balfour rather than
sacrifice their adherence to Mr.. Cham
berlains out and out protectionist
principles.
AS result Mr.. Balfour has foregone
his personal policy of retaliation and
retains Office only by the support nj
those members of Parliament who
openly uphold preferential and protec-
tive duties. This section of the Unionist
party, though strong enough to decide
the fate of the ministry, is not strong
enough to effect anything as an indi-
vidual unit
The complications within the Union
lst party came during the week to an
almost Gilbertian climax. Even the
Saturday Review. which supports Mr.
Balfour's policy, holds that he lost
more than he gained by his compare
lively narrow majority of 46.
The Cabinet itself. so recently con-
structed, has been on the verge of a
serious split. During the week Austin
NhdiiDeTldlH, cndncellOT OF tne ex-
chequer; Colonial Secretary Lyttleton.
and several minor members of the gov
ernment threatened to resign unless
Mr.. Balfour withdrew his support of
the motion which denounced Joseph
Chamberlain's proposed preferential
duties based on the taxation of food.
Beset within and without. Mr. Bal
four gave in to the Chamberlainites and
still further antagonized those free
trade Unionists, the Duke of Devon
shire. Lord Balfour of Burleigh.
Charles 7. Ritchie, Lord George Hamil-
ton and Sir John Gorst. formerly his
colleagues, and their supporters.
Experts in British elections express
diametrically opposed forecasts regard
ing the probable result of the appeal
to the country. which is now somewhat
impatiently awaited by the public. They
all agree, however, that neither Mr.
Chamberlain nor Mr.. Balfour, on their
respective planks of protection and re-
taliation. is likely to be returned to
power. Whether the Liberals or a CO.
alition of the Liberals with the Union
isl free traders could secure a sufficient
majority to remain in power without
the support of the Irish party is re-
garded as extremely doubtful.
The best balanced opinion is that
when Mr.. Balfour either ends the ten
ure of the present government, or it is
ended for him, there will be a series
OF see-saw political evolutions. with the
Irish party holding the scales.

Selling Lcwd Pictures.

In the Senate Mr.. McLaurin of Mis-
, sissippi took the floor to make per-
\sonal explanation regarding newspa-
Yer paragraph saying that authorities
Indianola. Mississippi, are engaged
n arresting people for selling photo
graphs of President Roosevelt and
Booker Washington.
Mr.. McLaurin said that the para
graph grew out out of statement
made in a newspaper letter written by
A. ]. Paxson, an attorney of Leland,
Mississippi, who told of the arrest at
that point of three men who, he said,
were engaged in selling pictures of the
President and Mr.. Washington seated
at a table together, and also pictures
kof an obscene character. These pic
N6res, he said, appealed strongly to
race prejudice.
Similar arrests, also Mr.. McLaurin
said, had been made at Indianola, and
it was found upon the hearing of the
cases that Cincinnati concern en-
gagged in publishing the pictures in
question had many agents out in the
interest Of these works.
The men were tried and some of
them sent out of the country, and Nc
Laurin expressed surprise that any
community should have permitted
them to be tried. He said that the
penalty imposed by the law was en-
tirely too small, and expressed the
opinion that, the death penalty would
not be too severe. He added that the
ARRESTS were not because the men were
selling photographs of the President
or of Mr. Washington, but because
they were selling lewd pictures.

LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
Labor on Panama Canal.

The House committee on interstate
AZ foreign commerce recently began
2 lies of hearings to determine the
chAflcter of legislation for the govern
meAe OF the canal zone on the isthmus
of Panama. tq -ri
Rsar Admiral Walker said he be-
heved that work on the canal could be
begun In two or three months. By this
ume, he said, the question OF title
would be cleared and a transfer made
10 the United States. The French COM
pany now had about 500 laborers at
work on the Culebra cut and this work
would be continued.
The liquor question was injected
into the discussion by the remark OF
the admiral that the principal revenue
would come from the licenses from
eating houses and saloons. He was
asked at once If it was necessary to
grant liquor privileges. He replied pos
lively that it was; that the laborers of
the tropics all used alcoholic bever-
ages, and that it would be impossible
Eto obtain, or retain, laborers for this
work if the sale of liquor was prohib-
tied. He said, however, that they were
not hard drinkers, consuming only
beer and light Wines
Speaking of the class of labor that
1T would be necessary to employ in the
construction of canal, Admiral Walk
er said that the blacks from Jamaica
were undoubtedly the best fitted class
obtainable in the vicinity of the canal
zone. There were not enough of those
laborers, including the blacks which
could be taken from the southern
states to prosecute the work after 1t
once was gotten under way Coolie
labor from China and Japan would
have to be brought over for this work.
He estimated that the maximum num-
Der of laborers needed would be some
$4,000. Other persons who would come
with these laborers would increase the
population of the zone to some $4,000.
The police force necessary to keep or
der on the isthmus, Mr.. Walker sug-
gested, should be organized as that of
an American city. One hundred men
at first would be sufficient but this
number would have to be increased to
perhaps 500. In case of riots or un-
usual disturbances he believed the
Panama government could be relied
on to aid the police force Of the strip,
and he also deemed it advisable to
have 800 American troops or marines
permanently stationed in the zone.

To Investigate Meat Trust.

An investigation of the meat trust
is desired by Representative Martin
of South Dakota, and he has succeed
ed in obtaining favorable report on
his bill calling upon the secretary of
commerce and labor to investigate the
cause of low prices of beef cattle in
the United States since July 1st, and
He unusually large margin between
Dthe price of beef cattle and the selling
price of fresh beef.
The purpose of this inquiry will be
to determine whether these conditions
have resulted from any contract or
combination, or trust or conspiracy in
restraint of trade.
In favorably reporting this bill, the
committee on interstate commerce
says that the last three years have
>heen years of great prosperity in the
CSted States. The growers and feed
ers of live stock have shared in this
general prosperity until the first part
of 1903. Beginning at that time, the
committee states, the market for beef
steers has gradually declined, until in
December last the prices were lower
than at any time in five years, and
that 1t is difficult to account for this
condition in the beef market by natu-
raj causes alone, and these conditions
have entailed heavy losses upon cattle
men in the range country and else
where. and profits practically disap-
peared last year.
II this bill now passes the house
and also the Senate. Secretary Cortel-
you Of the Department OF Commerce
and Labor will take charge of the in
vestigation under authority conferred
in the act creating his department, and
1t will be the first important investiga-
.tion undertaken by him. 4N
