Custer Brought In Ohio.

Columbus, O., Aug. ia. Booth &
Co., of Chicago, a corporation popular
ly designated "the fish trust" against
which a suit in custer was recently
filed by the attorney general on the
ground that it was organized in re-
straint of trade, today filed an amend
ed answer in the circuit court.
The answer admits that the defend
ant is a corporation incorporated I'M
der the laws of Illinois with capital
stock of s5,5OO,000 and that it has pur-
chased twenty-four fish companies.
The answer denies that 1t is a trust in
restraint of business and names
several hundred fish companies still
doing an Independent fish business.
1t also names 1913 corporations in Ohio,
among them the Standard Oil Com
pany, which are organized in the same
way and doing business without being
moested. 1t says the company is
properly incorporated under the laws
of Illinois and is entitled to all the

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Better values

cattle are finding more favor with
buyers this week, while lighter sorts
are draggy, except when they show

and have run more largely to heavy
sorts.
There was active inquiry for year

also found quite good outlet, though
some of the big and plain heavy steers.
even those landing at $5.00@5.25, were

common light cattle, buyers assert is

BLACK RUST SAMPLES.
Some Fields Around Lakota, N. D.,
Badly Spotted.

Lakota, N. D., Aug. 16.-Samples Of
wheat have been shown here which arc
badly affected with black rust. 1t Is
stated that in some sections of the
country, especially in the townships
to the south. the fields are all badly
spotted Grain is fast maturing, how
ever, and no particular fears are en-
tertained that any great damage VIII
result as the rust has appeared at q
much later date than year ago. Last
year there was one of the best crops
harvested in many years. and Nelson
county looks for one equally as good
this year So far there has been COM
paratively little loss from hail. in fact
the loss from this source has been less
than In many years.
No more rain is wanted. Some OF
the fields today are so wet that a
person can hardly walk across them
1t is feared that more rain would re-
suit in their being so soft that when
the crop natures it would be 1mpos-
sible to get teams into the fields.

LAYS BIG WRECK TO AGENT
coroner's Says Operators Deed Ditch
ed FLYER.

Cleveland. O.. Aug. 17.-That the
wreck Of the Twentieth Century Linn
tied train at Mentor, o., killing nine
teen persons, June 30. was caused by
Walter Minor. telegraph operator at
Mentor, is the verdict reached here
yesterday by Coroner Siegelstein. The
verdict. in part, follows:
Il find that the switch was opened
by Walter F. Minor, night telegraph
operator in charge Of the night sta
ton. reach this finding by deduction.
After having read over the notes on
the testimony taken at the gainesville
inquest and the testimony taken at my
own request, I find that the time from
which the headlight OF the Twentieth
Century limited train is seen APP
preaching the depot platform at Men
tor, until it reached the switch. is a
maximum of thirty-one seconds.
During this brief period If Mr.. Min
or did not throw the switch, and an
other person did. that person must
have appeared at the switch from
some unknown place. unlocked the lock
with a key, removed the lock, taken
out the coupling pin, turned the
switch. put the coupling pin in place
again. placed the lock in the hole of
the coupling pin, locked the lock. and
disappeared ~ physical impossibilfty
in my opinion.
I'm the 500 folios Of typewriter tes-
timony taken at my inquest there APP
pears not one word to show the pres
ence of any person but Minor, who was
in charge of the station that night, In
the immediate vicinity of the depot or
the switch Immediately preceding he
wreck or afterwards.
Hence, can come only to one con-
clusion, which is reinforced by other
points of the evidence, that Walter F..
Minor opened the switch. But whether
he did so of his own volition or by
telegraphic orders of superior Off
Ger, am not prepared to say
The coroner said that the Lake
Shore officials greatly facilitated his
Investigation by cooperation. They
produced all witnesses in the railroads
employ promptly, as welt as train
sheets, railroad message books and
other important data bearing upon the
investigation.
Painsville O., Aug. IA copy of
Coroner Siegelstein's report was sent
to the Lake county officials, in which
Mentor. the scene of the Twentieth
Century limited wreck. is located. The
sheriff of Lake county does not believe
there is sufficient evidence upon which
to issue a warrant for Minors arrest,
and has refused to take action. The
coroner of Lake county, in which elev-
en- of the victims died, has not yet
made his report.

REVIEW OF THE IRON TRADE.
Strike of Structural Workers Has Lit
tie Effect on Operations.

tie ERECT on operations.
| Cleveland, O.. Aug. 17.--'The Iron
Trade Review today says: "The strike
Of the structural workers against the
| American Bridge Company has not
caused any disastrous results and indi
cations are that fears OF serious en-
barrassment of building operations
will not be realized The demand for
| structural materials continues with In
| creased force.
"The most important contract OF the
week is that for the Manhattan bridge
which will require $4,000 tons of steel,
awarded the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany. Large premiums are being paid
for prompt delivery of structural ma
terial, ranging from 81 to $40 ton.
Inquiries for heavy tonnage of ste.l
rails are pending. One New York Of
flee reports that 1t has received an in
quiry for $4,000 tons from a system
to which it has recently sold 10000
tons.
In Chicago orders for 10000 tons
have been placed within a few days
ana inquiries for 10000 tons are pend
ing. The buying of pig iron continues
steadily, but not in large quantities.
In New York orders for about $4,000
tons have been placed. of which $4,000
tons We're basic. Bessemer pig iron is
tirmer, and there is apparently a
scarcity in the east, as some shipments
have been made from Ohio furnaces.
A noteworthy feature of the market
is that buyers Of all grades are eager
for prompt delivery of contracts.
Charcoal furnaces report sales are
satisfactory. one company having dis
posed of about 10000 tons recently.
The announcement that the Iroquois

Bulletin Issued by the Census
Department Makes Some Re
markable Conclusions
FEWER CHILDREN IN AMERICA
Study Of the Population Census Shows
the Proportion of Children to the
Adult Population Has Grown Less
BY Large Percentage During the
Century.

Washington, Aug 17.--That there
has been a persistent decline OF the
birth rate In the United States since
1850" is the conclusion reached in q
bulletill issued by the census bureau
The bulletin was prepared by Professor
Walter II. Wilcox of Cornell University
and it is explained that although tbs
analysis made offers many suggestions
as to probable tendencies in the birth
rate of the United States it is. primar-
lily. not study in birth rates. but Il
study in the proportion of children to
the total population or to the number
of women Of child bearing age.
The result of the study shows that
at the beginning of the nineteenth GEN.
fury the children under 10 years of age
constituted one-third and at the end
less than one-fourth of the total popu-
lation. The decrease in this proper
ton began as early as the decade 1916
to 1920, and continued uninterruptedly,
though at varying rates, In each sue
cessive decade.
Between 1850 and 1860. the proper
ton of children to women between Is
and 40 years, the collaborating age, in
creased, but since 1860 1t has constant
ly decreased. 1t is stated that the de-
crease has been very unequal from de-
cade to decade, but that II the compu-
tation is made upon the basis Ut
twenty year periods 1t has been regu-
lar. In 1860 the number of children
under years Of age to 1000 women
Is to 40 years Of age, was 634: in 1900
It was only 474. The proportion OF
children to potential mothers in 1906
was only three fourths as large as In
1860.
Cause Not Determined.
No attempt is made by the author
of the bulletin to determine the prob
able cause of this decline. An extend-
ed argument by Gen. Francis A. Wall
ker is given, suggesting that 1t Is
largely due to the influx OF foreigners
and the resultant shock to the popula-
ton instinct of the natives. But Pro-
lessor Wilcox does not express def
mite opinion, claiming that the vital
statistics Of the United States are not
sufficiently developed to anord
sound basis of Judgment. He notes,
however that there has been similar
marked decline in the birth rate OF
Australia, where there has ben no
such torrent of immigration.
Considered sectionally it is found
that in the north and west there has
been a more or less regular decline.
while in the south the change has been
less regular and the decline less mark
ed.
In the general decrease between
1890 and 1900 not single state Of the
north Atlantic division took part. In
seven other states, also, there was no
decrease In only six states, Mary
land, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Ken
lucky and Indiana, did the proportion
decrease in each of the five decades,
and in only Delaware, District of Col
umbia, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Oregon and Colorado, did it follow the
tendency, for the country as a whole
that is, increase from 1850 to 1850
and decrease in the four succeeding
decades.
