"TRAIL" CONCESSIONS
WILL OPEN ON SUNDAYS
Management of Portland Fair Re-
strained by Injunction From
Interfering

By Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, July 29.-Judge
Frazer of the state circuit court today
granted permanent injunction res
training the management of the Lewis
and Clark Centennial exposition from
interfering with the Sunday opening of
concessions on 1.-The Trail at the ex-
position.
The exposition management at the in
ception of the exposition idea had the
local ministerial body to contend with,
the clergymen being utterly opposed to
the opening of any portion of the ex-
position to the public on Sundays. AS
compromise the exposition officials
guaranteed that the Trail" conces-
sions would not be permitted to open.
Two months of losing business, with
financial ruin facing many of the
shows, caused the concessionaries, as
sociation to announce that their shows
would operate regardless of the Off
cials of the exposition. A compromise
resulted in the case being taken to
court with the result that Judge Frazer
decided in favor of Sunday opening.

PANAMA, July 29.-Theodore P.
Shonts, chairman of the Panama canal
commission, today informed the Assc-
ciated Press tlat he has not contern-
plated any changes in the personnel of
the force engaged in cutting the canal,
and said that the only alteration in
the works decided upon was the trans
fer of the bureau of materials from the
engineering to the purchasing depart
ment.
Mr. Shonts and Chief Engineer
Stevens are constantly comforting with
Governor of the Zone Magoon. They
have approved of his plan to give
precedence to the work of sanitation,
and all departments are giving every
facility to the chief sanitary officer,
Col. Gorgas.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Stevens will devote
all his energies to increasing the capac =.
ity of the railroad at once. Since his
arrival he has noticed that the lack of
facilities for throwing away earth
taken from the cut and the delay in
the securing of materials are serious
handicaps to work along the canal.

NATIONAL TRUST BREAKER
COMES TO GIVE LECTURES
Francis Sylvester Monnett, Enemy Of
Standard Oil Company, Is to Ad-
dress Venice Assembly

Francis Sylvester Monnett, an attor-
Los Angeles to deliver series of lee
lures before the Venice assembly upon
the Battle With the Trusts
No lawyer of the present day has
been more in the public eye than has
Mr.. Monnett, who began the battle
against the trusts long before Lawson
had severed connections with Rogers
and Rockefeller.
AS attorney general of Ohio he inau-
gurated a fight against the Standard
Oil company which has never been
equaled save by the present conflict
which is being waged in Kansas under
his and Mr.. Lawson's generalship.
He was the author of the antitrust
act and established it's constitutionality
before the supreme court of Ohio. He
assisted the Pennsylvania miners in
their fight against the coal combine,
was attorney for the New York World
in it's contest with the ice trust and is
the attorney for the state of Kansas
in its battle with the Standard Oil
company and the Santa Fe railroad. He
is prosecuting attorney in the suits
pending against the International Har-
vester trust and the American Bridge
combine.
Mr.. Monnett is probably better ac-
quainted with the inner workings of
the trusts than any other man and,
fully realizing their power, has fear
lessly attacked them.
When Mr.. Monnett was engaged in
the Ohio battle he became so active
against the officials Of the Standard
Oil company that they destroyed the
books of the company in Cleveland and
refused to appear in the courts to an
swer charges brought against them.

Simmons sustained severe If not
fatal injuries.
Olson stopped after Simmons was
struck, but when 1t was ascertained
that the aged victim of the speed
mania was unconscious and severely
injured, Olson re-entered his automo-
bile and resumed his run down Main
street Simmons was taken to the re-

consciousness, although the extent of
his injuries is not yet known, as he
is unable to talk except at occasional
moments and in disconnected man.
ner.
Simmons, who lives at 1922 1-2 South
Main street, started to ride a bicycle
to his nursery. The automobile dashed
up from the rear and struck him. Sim
mons fell to the pavement and sus-
tanned concussion of the brain and nu-
merous cuts and bruises about the head
and body. When picked UP by pedes-
TRANS who witnessed the collision he
was bleeding profusely and was uncon-
scious.
The witnesses say that the automo-
bile was travelling at a high rate Of
speed, greatly in excess of that per-
mitted by law, and it is considered re-
markable that Simmons was not in
stantly killed.
