Frank seda's Foot Mansled In Hopper at
Brlckyard.

A misstep cost Frank Soda his right
foot Friday morning. Soda is a Polander
who has been employed in Bodine & Da-
viss brick yard The hopper in which
the clay is ground is so arranged that
the clay is dumped into IL from a dump
cart on the floor of the building. No one
saw the accident and Soda was unable
to give a clear account of it, but it is
supposed that he stepped backward into
the hopper, not realizing how near he
was. The right foot was ground and
mangled, and blood flowed profusely from
the wound. DR.. George S. Foster was
summoned, and after dressing the wound
temporarily he had Soda sent to the Brat
tleboro Memorial hospital, where the foot
was amputated below the ankle.

personal interest enough at heart TO ask
for It,"
The society is composed OF the chief
officers of the building departments OF

as many cities in Europe. some of the
members being from England. Austria

the chief executive officer, h. w Fitzpat-
rick. one OF the best-known consulting
architects and authorities on fire preven-
tion IN the United states.
Through the societys efforts many
cities have already been induced to i'm

COMMON LAW REACHES
TRUSTS AND M0k0POLIES

Charleston. w Va. Nov. 21.--The
state supreme court yesterday de-
cided under the common law. a case
which defines to a great degree the
powers OF the people Of a state to con-
troll trusts, monopolies and combina-
tons. The case was brought To en-
force q contract between certain coke
companies in the Flat Top region. BY
the contract 20 coke and coal produc-
ing companies united to form the
Pocahontas Coke company. which be
came their exclusive agent TO sell all
their product. The agent OF the COM
pany fixed the prices, competition was
stopped between the subsidiary COM
panies and the profits were shared
equally.
The Powhattan Coal and Coke COM
pany aud six others withdrew after
six months. and the great company
brought suit to enforce the contract.
West Virginia has no antitrust law,
and the decision, based on the common
law, declares the contract to he void.
The decision puts under ban any
trust or combination of two or more
persons to control any Legitimate ar
ticles OF trade and includes organiza-
tions and unions.
