TEST NORTH DAKOTAAN7| TRUST LAW
Shippers the Trust Are Afraid Of the Measure and Test Case
Is Likely to Result at an Early Datc

I One of the results of the Shells anti
trust law which was passed at the last
session of the legislature is that all
pricelist agreements entered into by
| lumber and shingle manufacturers in
Washington have been abandoned so
| far as North Dakota is concerned. The
! law is believed by attorneys for the
lumber trust in the West to be uncon-
stitutional, and it has been ascertained
that firm of Fargo attorneys has
been retained to investigate the mat
ter with a view of commencing in the
near future case which will end in
the law being thoroughly tested.
Under the new statute the sale of
goods produced by members of any
trust Or association of two or more
persons organized to fix prices or regu-
late traffic is illegal. The law further
provides that the consignee receiving
shipment from a member of trust
may refuse payment on the goods and
be awarded them upon proof that they
are trust shipments. Severe penalties
are provided for any corporation fail
ing to file an affidavit showing that it
IS not member of any trust.
Although the measure is denounced
by Western lumber manufacturers as
class legislation. and therefore uncon-
stitutional. they propose to take no
chances on lumber and shingle ship
ments until tile law is tested. The the
DRY of class legislation is based on the
ground that an exemption is made I'M
der the law OF combinations to control
agricultural products or livestock,
thereby enabling farmers or stock
raisers to effect any sort of combina-
ton they may see fit, while all-other
branches Of industry are am enable to
the law.
The provisions of the new law were
called to the attention of the Wash
ihgton lumbermen a few days ago by
notices sent out by Secretary OF State

KILLED IN RUNAWAY.
Creamery owner Dead and Wife Fatal
Iy Injured.

Creamery owner Dead and wire ratai-
Iy Injured.
Clinton, Wis, Aug. "A tractlous
horse, owned by A. r. Weaver OF tlls
CITY. ran away. The owner was killed,
his wife is dying and another woman,
several blocks from the scene OF the
accident came near death.
Mrs. A. e. Weaver, who was thrown
out of the carriage in which she was
driving with ner husband, at tle mo-
ment that he received fatal injuries,
was struck by lightning about a year
ago. Her condition has been serious
since then, and this combined with
the injuries, it was expected early
yesterday, would cause ner death.
Mrs. Griswold, the wife OF Dr. Girls
void, prominent physician in this
city, heard cries up the road while sit
ting in her home Wednesday night.
She came outside to see what was
wrong, and stepped into the roadway.
Suddenly the Weaver horse, in a
mad flight, was upon her. A loof
caught Mrs. Griswold's skirts and tore
them, so near did the animal pass; but
she escaped without being knocked
down. The shock has affected her,
however.
Mr.. Weaver, who 35 years old, and
owner Of several creameries near here,
and who formerly lived at Darien, was
taking mis- invalid wife for a drive
when the accident took place mo one
knows what started the horse on the
runaway.
In making curve the carriage was
turned partly over and both occupants
thrown with terrific force against a
telephone wire pole on the side of the
street. Mr.. Weaver's jaw and skull
sustained fractures, and he received
enough internal injuries to be killed,
says the examining physician Mrs.
Weaver suffered several fractures, but
the most serious injuries were found to
be internal and on ner head

The Minnesota inspectors have ra-
moved from this side of the bay, but
the Duluth board of trade has appoint
ed We1ghmaster and he in turn has
appointed assistants. At the request
OF the elevators these men are to he
installed in the Superior leased ware
| houses.
Members of the Duluth board of
| trade, who have bitterly opposed the
Wisconsin plan from the first. are he
nina the elevator men in the fight. On
the Wisconsin side the Superior board
with the commission and with at
least the moral support of Dakota
farmers and eastern buyers, are ar
rayed against the Great Northern
road, the elevator interests and the
strong Duluth board of trade.
The attitude of the Great Northern
road in the fight which is impending
is the most surprising factor. Before
the amendments to the grain hi1
were sent to Madison with the en-
dorsement of the local grain men a.
conference was held with the Great
Northern people and it was under
stood that the agreement reached at
that time and voiced in the amend
ments to the bill was satisfactory to
all concerned.

ST Pau1 MINI Aup A-TTnon no
ceipt of communications from nearly
all the large elevator interests of SUI
perior and West Superior, requesting
continuation of the Minnesota grain
inspection in private warehouses, the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission has decided not to aban-
don the inspection at these points.

LINE UP FOR GRAIN INSPECTION FIGHT.
GREAT NORTHERN ARaAYED WITH DULUTH

Superior, Wis. Aug. 4.-The Super
Ior board of trade has retained the
services of ! ttorney L. K. Luse of
this city, and the Wisconsin board of
grain and warehouse commissioners
have retained Attorney George B Hud-
nall to protect their interests IN any
legal difficulties that may arise in con-
nection with the fight which is expect
ed to be made on the Wisconsin in
spection by Minnesota people or the
opponents of the new Wisconsin grain
bill.
The two attorneys are among the
most prominent legal lights in this
vicinity and their selection shows
finish. Mr.. Luse was a candidate for
judge of the supreme court at the last
election and Mr.. Hudnall is state SEN
ator from this district
So far the threatened fight is in
statu quo There has been no grain
received since the Wisconsin inspec-
ton went into effect and it is hardly
possible that there will be any amount
OF business before the last of this
month.
The Great Northern elevators in
Superior have been leased to the A.
D. Thompson company of Duluth and
will be used as private houses. 1t has
been announced that they will re
ceive only Thompson grain and that
they will issue no receipts. Under
the Wisconsin law elevators which is
sue receipts are public warehouses.
The Globe Elevator company has like
wise announced that it's elevators are
to be operated as private houses and

T|CkERS FAIL TO
STOP RAILROADS

st. Paul, Aug. 4.-The second day OF
the telegraphers' strike on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
ways ended with the railroad officials
asserting that the strike mad already
been broken and the omcials OF the
telegraphers' union declaring that 1t
mad only begun. Both sides profess
satisfaction with the situation and
each maintains that the struggle will
be ended within a fortnight. The rail
roads have been able to keep the more
important trains very nearly to SEIZED
ule time. Freight trains are being
successfully handled. lie abandon
ment of number of way freights was
the most serious disablement OF the
traffic yesterday.
The railway officials claim that tlere
has been a notable break in the RANKS
of the strikers. All the operators on
one branch Of the Great Northern in
North Dakota nave gone back to work
and 80 or 40 more have signified their
willingness to do so. Many substi-
tutes were placed during the day and
men from different parts OF the coun-
try are being examined and put to
work as rapidly as they arrive.
Rumors of a sympathetic strike OF
the trainmen have been in circulation
and although conferences have been
leld with this plan in view it is de.
clared that such a move is not impend-
ing.

Must Submit Proof.
Unless Edward Hinkel, city clerk of
Milwaukee, presents to Secretary of
State Houser more than mere objec-
tons there will be no remuneration
OF any of the precincts of the state
metropolis. The precincts complained
of are the third precinct of the fourth
ward, the first of the fifth ward, the
first of the sixth, the fourth of the
ninth, the fourth of the eleventh and
the third Of the eighteenth.
In reply to the first communication
of the city clerk, Secretary of State
Houser wrote informing him that if
proofs could be furnished the depart
ment that the enumeration was
faulty, that would be sufficient ground
for the ordering Of new enumera-
ton. The secretary of state also as
sured the city clerk of his desire to
have the census accurate. The city
clerk has now filed with the secretary
of state an affidavit to the effect that
the state enumeration has fallen be-
low the federal enumeration in vari-
Gus precincts of the city. This is the
only proof contained in the affidavit
and upon this representation the Sec
rotary Of state is not inclined to be-
lieve that he can convict the state
enumerators of inaccuracy and cause
the work to be done again. Further
and more reliable proof of the lncor
rectness of the enumeration must be
filed or the figures will stand as they
are now.
