TROUBLE COMING
FOR DRUG TRUST
INVESTIGATION BRINGS OUT
DAMAGING EVIDENCE
Results Of the Inquiry to Be Turned
over to Attorney General Moody
for the Purpose of Pros
ecution
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, March 2. - Documentary
and oral evidence of the drug trust,
which does a business of $4,000 900
and filches the American public of
$40 1000, 900 annually, has been brought
out in a hearing here before special
car Commissioner Sampsell for the
federal government. The evidence is
to be turned over to Attorney General
Moody, looking to the prosecution of
the trust under the Sherman anti
trust law.
Secretary Wooten of the National
Retail Druggists association is the
man from whom the damaging evi-
dence was obtained. 1t was learned
that the local retail druggists asso-
Citations establish prices periodically for
proprietary medicines and other drugs.
The retail druggists are watched by
secret agents of the trust. If they
violate the price schedules they cannot
buy goods from any wholesaler. If a
wholesaler gets off his reservation, the
retailers are notified and refuse to buy
goods from him. If proprietary firms
are guilty of infraction of iron clad
rules, they, too. are penalized.
In every case the offender must pay
a forfeit before he can be reinstated.

Mr.. Mills Speaks

the Rev. B. F. Mills The latter made

Mr.. Mills spoke strongly on the diff

by large per cent of the people.
In the course of his address he scored
the society woman who will wear a
bird on her hat and the man who will
drive a horse with a dCcked tail.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The or
ders for the organization, movement
and dismissal Of the inaugural parade
are announced.
The president, accompanied by his
personal escort, composed Of squadron
A., N. @. N. Y, and detachment of
the last First U. s. Volunteer cavalry,
will be escorted at 10 a. m. from the
White House to the capitol by the
grand marshal and staff and divis-
ion composed of veterans Of the Civil
and Spanish-American wars and of the
regular army and navy Of the United
States. commanded by Maj. Gen. o. o..
Howard, U. S. A.
The president will be received by his
personal and veteran escort as he
comes out of the west gate of the
White House, and Immediately there
after squadron A will form a column
of platoons (sixteen troopers each) to
the left and, preceded by the grand
marshal, his staff and aides, will march
to the capitol.
At the conclusion Of his inaugural
address the president will be received
at the speakers stand by the First
brigade, First division, Military Grand
division.
The parade will be reviewed from n
stand on the south side of Pennsylva-
MIA avenue, opposite the White House,
by the president.
The route of the column will be west
on Pennsylvania to Twentieth street,
thence north on Twentieth to K street,
thence east on K street to point of dis
missal.
The parade column will move In the
following order: Platoon of mounted
police; fifth band artillery corps, U. S.
A.; grand marshal. Lieutenant General
Adna r. Chaffee, u. S. A.: West Point.
Annapolis cadets and midshipmen,
color guard; squadron A, national
guard, state of New York; the presi-
dent presidential party carriages; de-
tachment of United States volunteer
cavalry; then follow the divisions and
brigades; Quanah Parker. American

GUS political marching clubs, military
school cadets, high school boys and pa
triotic and fraternaf societies bring up
in the rear.
The snow which fell yesterday has
practically disappeared and the re-
viewing stands are in readiness.
The rough riders organization held a
| meeting today and arranged for drill
to be held this afternoon at Fort Meyer
to train the mounts to be used by the
rough riders. There will be thirty or
more of these men to escort the presi-
dent and they will be headed by For
mer Governor Brodie. Several of the
rough riders will be introduced to the
president today by Colonel Brodie.
They are inclined to be facetious over
the assignment to them of artillery
horses to ride in the parade. They
wish now they had brought their own
ponies with them.
Admiral Dewey will not be able to
take any part in the inauguration cere-
| monies. He has been seriously i'll with
| the grip for four weeks and although
| much improved he Is still too weak to
| leave the house.
| 1t is expected that the admiral will
be restored to his usual good health
| in a few weeks.

exceptions lived without it. Men used
to eat one another and give the same
arguments to justify the practice that
are now used for the eating of animals.
"The animals cry to us for instruc-
tion, elevation, confidence and love.
They have asked for bread ard we
have given them a stone. Sometimes
we have literally stoned them"
Earl Rogers, attorney for the S. p.
c.. A., began his remarks by quoting
the words of Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
80 many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind
When just the art of being kind
Is all this old world needs"
He told of the work that the society
is trying to accomplish in Los Angeles
and outlined some of the plans of the
future.
Mr.. Rogers read a poem composed
by Mrs. Wilcox especially for the oc-
casion, after which a plea was made
for new members, and the women of
the reception committee went among
the guests and solicited for the mem-
bership list. A large amount of money
was raised in this way.
One of the delightful features of the
evening was the musical program pre-
pared by Mrs. w. ]. Scholl. The art
lists who contributed musical numbers
were Gertrude Cohn, Mrs. Charles We'll
lington Rand, G. Allen Hancock, Mrs.
Blanche Williams Robinson and Harry
Clifford Lott.

lily, Due to Presence of Mind
Of the Head Of the
Household

An attempt to murder whole
narrowly averted. But for a moments
warning and the presence of mind Of
the head Of the household the would
be assassin might have succeeded.
While seated at the dinner table in
their home at 1414 Quintero street last
night, the family of Emile May was
startled by the crash of broken glass
from the dining room window, fol-
lowed by a shower of shot into the
room and the report of gun.
AS soon as he could secure weapon
from an adjoining room, Emile May
rushed to the window and fired at the
figure of man who was running down
the hill on which his house stands.
Has No Enemies
May can advance no theory as to
the cause of the murderous attempt
upon the lives Of himself and family.
May is a German artist, peaceable
and retiring, with a. family Of many
members. He has lived in the present
neighborhood, on Quintero street, for
long time and says he has made no
enemies to his knowledge.
The attempted assassination came
suddenly. The sight OF a double
barreled shotgun. poked through the
dining room window from the out
side, with the sound of breaking glass,
was the only warning the family was
given. Shot scattered in all directions,
but fortunately no one was injured.
Fires at Criminal
Quick as flash, May jumped to his
feet and ran into an adjoining room,
where he had left a shotgun in
closet Loading 1t in the shortest time
possible, he ran back to the window
and was just in time to see man
making hasty retreat down the hill.
May fired two shots at the retreat
ing figure. That he did not reach his
mark was at once manifest, as the
report of a shot behind him only lent
wings to the feet of the intruder.
The Mays are greatly alarmed over
the attempt upon their lives and can
render the police but little assistance
in the way of apprehending the GRIM
inal.

Los Angeles herald., 1905-03-03

Augustus ThOmaS, VINO IL perhaps
entitled to consideration as the fore
most American playwright, has sent
many enjoyable plays to Los Angeles
but not one more genuinely amusing
than 1.-The Earl of Pawtucket,' in
which Lawrence d'Orsay scored an
emphatic success last evening.
SO long as Lawrence d'Orsay with
his inimitable British personality was
on the stage the audience was in an
almost continuous state of wild
hilarity and expressed their apprecia-
ton by enthusiastic applause, which
at the close of the second act called
the star forth for a curtain speech.
Augustus Thomas has apparently
finished dramatizing the states and has
turned his attention to putting on the
stage a hotel-and a man. D'Orsay Is
the man and the hotel is the Waldorf
Astoria, the action of the entire three
acts taking place within its walls.
The complications arise from an
Englishman,, Lord Cardngton, as
sun,ing the itame of friend while the
former is travelling incognito to
America in pursuit of the girl with
whom he has fallen deeply In love.
He stops at the New York hotel be-
cause the girl stops there and in the
first act he comes into the palm room
five times for coffee in the hope that
he will be there when the girl comes
in for breakfast.
He does not wish the girl to be IN
fuenced in his favor by knowing of his
title and so is forced to continue under
his friends name, although he is even
compelled to advance the amount OF
alimony which the friend is remaining
in Europe to avoid. Similar troubles
which should fall upon the shoulders
of his friend also come upon him until
in the last act, when he must either
be arrested or explain, he gladly does
the latter.
The play is peppered with the most
pungent wit and the action is brought
delightfully."- to the most ludicrous
climaxes. Probably most people have
failed to see a point in the catch line
chosen for the advertising, i've had
telegram from Sarah; Sarah's better
But If one hears Lawrence dOrsay
repeat the sentence in his dry manner
when the information contained in the
telegram to his friend, which he has
opened, is about the only thing he
knows of the man whose name he has
assumed, 1T becomes a phrase which
will stick in the memory for years.
The Others of the company filled
their parts acceptably. The play was
mounted in excellent fashion and
everything that could be added to give
effect of the Waldorf was
thought out to the smallest detail.
The play will continue two more
nights with a matinee Saturday.
