PARIS POLICE FIND BOMB
Internal Machine Found Before Rus
sian Prmce's House

By Associated Press.
PARIS, Jan. 3O.-The police early
today discovered supposed bomb in
front Of the house of Prince Troubet-
skoy, an attache of the Russian en-
tube containing lighted fuse. The
policemen eXtinguished the fuse and
informed the authorities who are in
vestigating the affair.
The bomb was bottle-shaped and of
small dimensions. 1t was filled with
green powder. There were two
tubes in the center, one of metal and
the other of glass, containing acid.
Owing to the faulty construction. the
acid could not have mixed with the
powder, and as it is the bomb could
not have done great damage.
A meeting was held this evening in
the Tlvoll, Vauxhall, to protest against
the Russian autocracy. 1t was under
the auspices of the revolutionary So
cialistic groups and 5000 persons were
present. Deputies Jaures, Vaullant
and Depressenz spoke. The police
were in strong force outside. During
the exit of the audience into the Ave-.
nue. de la Republique, bomb was
thrown into the center of the group of
police of Republican Guards, in which
stood Perfect Lepine and other high
officials. None of these was hurt, but
two guards were wounded and many
windows broken.
The bomb was loaded with big
headed boot nails. Two men have
been arrested, one of them a law
student, on the belief that they were
the authors of the crime.

IT, S. SUPREME COURT RULES
AGAINST THE BEEF TRUST
Unanimously Upod the Decision of Lower Court and Decides
That the Business Engaged in Is Interstate Commerce
and In Restraint Of Trade
BY Associated Press.

synopsis of the decision was stated or
ally by Mr.. Justice Holmes. There is
no impropriety in my saying that, as
understand that statement, the opin-
ion sustains in all respects the conten-
tion of the government and affirms the
decree of the court below in all sub
stantial particulars.
"The case decides that the traffic in
live stock transported from the state
or territory of its origin to another
state for sale and held there for sale is
interstate commerce, and that those
engaged In buying and selling such
live stock are engaged in Interstate
commerce. This question has been be-
fore the court twice before, but was
left undecided because the case in
which it was presented turned upon
other considerations. The decision con-
demns as an unlawful restraint of
trade the combination between inde-
pendent dealers to suppress all compe-
/, tion in the purchase of live stock thus
situated. 1t condemns as an unlawful
restraint Of trade the combination be-
tween such dealers for the purpose of
fixing and maintaining uniform prices
in the sale of meat throughout the
country; it condemns as an unlawful
restraint Of trade the combination be-
tween such dealers to obtain preferen-
| tial rates for the transportation of
their product by common carriers. The
decision makes it clear that all COM
/ binations between independent indi-
viduals. partnerships or corporations
engaged in interstate commerce by
which competition between them on
asucht commerce is suppressed, fall un-
der the prohibition Of the so-called
antitrust act. In this case the opinion
of the court was a unanimous one"
The attorney general declined to say
anything with reference to any future
proceedings in this Or any other anti
! trust case.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 3O.-New

and Russia are feared on account of
the attack on the British consul and
vice consul at Warsaw Saturday night.
Coming on the heels of the placards
posted by Assistant Chief of Police
Roudneff at Moscow, charging Great
Britain with melting the revolution in
Russia, the Warsaw incident is likely
to arouse an outburst in Great Britain,
which may again strain relations be-
tween the two countries. Beyond the
fact of the attack at Warsaw result
ing in the wounding of the British
vice consul, who is now in hospital,
the British embassy here has no details
of the affair, but Sir Charles Hardinge,
the British ambassador. has already
delivered a note to Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff asking for an immediate
investigation and explanation, reserv-

RUSSIANS BLAME WEATHER
Ascribe Failure of kuropatkin's At

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 80, 11:30 p.
m.-Gen. Kuropatkins attempt to
break through the Japanese left wing
and ,outf1ank Field Marshal Oyamas s
position on the Shakhe river seems to
have failed entirely. Few details have
been received, however, beyond the in
formation contained in the official dis
patches.
Field Marshal Oyama, as at the bat

answered the Russian advance with
counter offensive movement, but no
great disposition was shown to carry
the warfare into the territory held by
the Russians.
At the war Office there is an inclina-
ton to lay, the chief blame for the
failure of the movement to a sudden
change of the weather to intense cold
g 0degrees below zero), with a high
wind which drifted the snow and rem
dered it hazardous to expose the troops
to camping in the open plain, and also
impeded the transportation of guns,
supplies and the wounded.

ond army, under Gen. Gripenberg, was
the capture of Sandepas, which. once
lin Russian hands, would serve as a
pivot for a fianking movement against
Field Marshal Oyama, but Sandepas
proved too hard a nut to crack, and
the Japanese, taking advantage of the
check of the Russians, hurried up their
reinforcements and assumed the Of
fensive on the Hun river. as well as
along the railroad and the Great Man
DARN road. The Russians, however,
appear to have been completely sue
cessful on the defensive, repulsing all
the Japanese attacks.
The news of this defeat, coming at
this time, is especially hard for the
government. The, popular idea con-
tinuesa to be that the advance was un-
dertaken in order to divert attention
of the people from the events in Euro

Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-31

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The su-
Fpreme court of the United States today
decided the case of the United States
VS.. Swift & Co., known as the Beef
Trust case, charging conspiracy among
packers to fix prices on fresh meats,
etc. The opinion was handed down by
Justice Holmes and affirmed the de-
cision of the court below, which was
against the packers.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis
cussed at length the various conten-
tions of the packers and disposed of
them individually. He admitted that
some of the charges were less specific
than desirable, but said this was neces-
sarily true on account of the vast ex-
tent of the field covered. He added
that sufficient evidence had been
shown to prove continuous offenses
and an offense of such a nature to
justify the proceedings. The decision
continues the injunction granted
against the packers under the Sherman
antitrust law by the lower courts. The
decision was concurred in by all MEM
bers of the court.
Further suggestions looking to the
modification of the injunction were
made as follows: mo objection was
made on the ground that it is not con-
fined to the places specified in the bill.
1t seems to US, however, that it ought
to set forth more exactly the transac-
tions on which such directions and
agreements are forbidden. The trade
in fresh meat referred to should be
defined somewhat as it is in the bill
and the. sales of stock should be con-
fined to sales of stock at the stock
yards for sale or bought at these yards
for transport to another state"

LAY LAST RAIL
Of CLARK ROAD
NEW TRENSC0NTINENTAL LINE
IS COMPLETED
Los Angeles and Salt Lake City Are
Joined by Direct Route-The
Officials Plan for
Celebration

| Fifteen minutes after o'clock yes
terday afternon the spike was ham,
mered into place on the San Pedro
Los Angeles & Salt Lake road,
which makes a reality of Los Angeles
and Salt Lake being bound with bands
of steel.
There was no ceremony. The spike
was the counterpart of hundreds of
thousands which have been driven in
crossties along the right of way for
the past eighteen months.
The closing of the gap occurred
few miles east of the California state
line, where for many weeks hundreds
of laborers have been at work, daily
shortening the distance between the
two spurs.
But one official was present. He was
e. G. Tilton, construction engineer of
the road, and who has watched and di-
rected the two lines of steel as they
slowly neared each other.
Drives Last Spike
The last rail was laid in it's place;
brawny section man struck home the
first three spikes and then gave his
long handled hammer into the posses
sion of Mr.. Tilton.
The men from both camps gathered
close about. Mr.. Tilton with three
quick, hard blows sent the iron spike
deep into the oaken crosstie and Los
Angeles was, generally speaking, twen-
ty-four hours closer to Salt Lake City
than on the day before
With cheers from the men and the
footing of the locomotive whistle,
which echoed far back among the hills.
the worktrain backed over the COM
pleted section and started on it's way
to Good Springs, where a temporary
track of twelve miles in length is to
be torn up and shorter cut made.
President Clark Notified
Senator w. A. Clark president of
the road, and now at Washington, was
notified of the important event by
telegram sent from Los Angeles, as
was also the second vice president OF
the road, j. Ross Clark, now on his
way westward from New York city. He
will spend day in Chicago and one in
Salt Lake City, where he is scheduled
to arrive Sunday. Monday in his
special car he will begin the first in
spection that has ever been made of
the line from terminal to terminal
When 1t will be possible for Senator
w. A. Clark to make the trip is not
known, as he is busy at Washington
and will not come west for some
weeks.
In September of 1903 work was
started on the 299 miles of track which
were to be constructed from Daggett
to Caliente and since that time the con-
struction has gone on uninterruptedly.
From Caliente to Salt Lake City the
old Oregon Short Line road is in use,
but before the road is ready for
through traffic from Salt Lake City to
Los Angeles much of it will have been
relaid with heavier rails and there will
be marked improvements made in the
roadbed.
Seventy-fve pound rails have been
laid wherever there has been new
road to build, and within the year the
entire system viii be so equipped.
