ANTI-MONOPOLY LARS.
Regulations In France Which RigidIy
Prohibit the CornerinR of Neces.
sary Commodities.

1t seems that our antitrust and mon
oply crusaders might learn something
from the methods employed in our
Sister Republic of France There,
capitalists are limited in their opera
tions Of 'cornering" commodities. This
applies particularly to those products
which are considered necessities of
life, such as grain and its products,
bread. meat, wine, vegetables. fruit
butter, vinegar, coal, wool. silk, etc.
Any "cornering'' of such articles is a
criminal offense in France. 1t has been
so, with varying forms of penalties
dealt out, since 1898. The offense has
been made so broad and sweeping that
1t now includes all persons who de-
stroy or permit to perish merchandise
of prime necessity, whether 1t is their
property or not.
The criminal code prohibits mani.
pulations tending to bring about an
advance or fall in price that is not
warranted by the law of supply and
demand, The law does not include
tobacco, of course, for tobacco is a
government monopoly and controlled
absolutely by 1t. The punishment met.
ed out to the vioiators of this law con-
sists of both Imprisonment and fine,
the term and amount being measured
by the magnitude of the offense. In
addition to this the offending manu-
facturer merchant, or manipulation has
his factory or business establishment
placed under police supervision, the ex.
pense Of which he pays for from two to
five years. There is no more trouble
in handling offending corporations
than individuals. Every director or
employee in a managerial capacity is
responsible. For n second offense, the
penalty ia so severe that it would re-
suit in the determination of almost
any establishment.

Oun's Current Review,

London auction sale, which proved
somewhat disappointing. Opening

Liberal inquiry was noted for Amer.

changed, no alterations in quotations
having occurred since the opening Of
the month, but the movement at the
West is little more free.

A BRUTAL MURDER.
City Attorney Of Shoshone, Wyo., Kill.
ed by Gambler.

Shoshone, Wyo., July 23.-Warner
Moody. town attorney, was shot and
killed about midnight last night.
A homeseeker, named Frank Ander-
son, was shot while endeavoring to
apprehend the slayers of Moody.
Several sure-thing gamblers, recent
ly depored from this place. are sus-
pected and an angry mob has started
IN pursuit. The posse is heavily arm
cd. and should the murderers be ov-
ertaken, lynching is likely to occur.
Moody and his wife had attended a
dance at the home of neighbor, and
in response to a call that there was
some one at his house who wished
to see him. Moody excused himself
and started home. 1t was necessary
that he cross lot covered with brush
and shrubbery. When almost in front
of his gate. a shot rang out and he
fell in his tracks, but arose again and
staggered to the gate. Seeing that
there was still life in their man, one
of the party returned and sent a sec
ond bullet through his heart Ander-
son, who has been camping in a tent
near by, was the only witness.
Moody was shot twice once before
his wife screamed and Immediately
after. Anderson is still alive. but no
hopes are entertained for his recovery
II i moi 1nT II;
Later information indicates that on
~ one man was engaged in the kill
ing and after shooting Moody he ran
in the direction of Anderson's tent,
and the latter, hearing him at the
door. ran out and was shot in the
shoulder to prevent possible recogni-
ton. The assassin escaped in the
darkness.
Warner Moody, was a son of the
late United States Senator Moody of
South Dakota, and brother of Bur
dette Moody, one of the largest mine
operators in Deadwood and in the
Black Hills. Burdette Moody is now
in Los Angeles. but has been notified
by Wire of the murder. The local
police force has been reinforced by
the entire detective force of the Nor
thWestern railway here and every eff
fort will be made to apprehend the
murderer. Already arrests are being
made of all the men suspected of pos
sible participation in the killing.
