TRUST AGAINST TRUST.
Illinois Manufacturers Association in
Row With Chicago Bankers.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Action which may
materialize in prosecution of Chicago
bankers in the federal courts for vio-
lation of the antitrust law has been
begun by the Illinois Manufacturers
association. The manufacturers are
aroused at the recent decision of the
Chicago clearing house association
that all its banks charge a tax for
the collection of out of town checks.
This formerly has been done with
out cost to Chicago tradesmen.
At a meeting of the manufacturers
association resolutions were adopted
authorizing Attorney Levy Mayer It's
counsel, to take steps to combat the
charge and to begin legal action if
necessary.
The ultimatum Of the manufacturers
viii be submitted to the bankers at a
meeting of two committees represent
ing the two organizations at the Chi
cagO- National bank today Repre-
sentatiVes of the opposing interests
are firm in their positions and a
break between the two organizations
is expected.
BY the schedule of exchange rates
sent to the manufacturers by the diff
ferent banks charge of from Ito to
4 of per cent is to be made for col
lectiOns of out of town checks, the
amount varying according to the re-
moteness from Chicago. This the
manufacturers say would amount to
$4,000 per day, a total loss to them
and clear profit to the banks unless
they could get the additional charge
from their customers, which they say
they could not do without endanger-
ing their business prosperity. They
base their hope of legal redress on the
possibility of proving a collision on
the provision of the antitrust law pre-
venting an agreement to fix prices.

BLOW Your Nose Gently.

Medical experts are calling the atten-
ton of the public to the Importance of
performing the nose blowing operation
in a scientific and hygeEic manner.
First, one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue violence.
Doctors state that the two nasal pas
sages should never be closed at the same
time If they are obstructed, as in the
case of a cold, the back Of the throat is
filled with compressed air, and this, to-
gether with the discharge and the mi
crobes which it contains, may be driven
through the eustachian tube into the
middle ear and lead to serious results.
A great authority on the subject used
to forbid his patients to blow their noses
when suffering from a cold. This course
is hardly one which will commend itself
to those in the habit of catching colds
The best advice would seem to be that
when it is necessary to blow the nose
the blowing should be done gently

rical company on board, and was
bound for Columbus Ky, where the
company was to perform. When near

was then that Captain Connors dis
covered something wrong. He stopped
the engines and the boat listed to lar
board and commenced to sink The
passengers were all in bed at the
time, and it was with great difficulty
that they were hurried into the life
boat, clad only in their night clothes,
and carried to the shore. The boat
sank in a few minutes in over thirty
feet of water, and is a total wreck.

STILL IN The SNOW.
Rock Island Tracks Blocked West of
Santa Rosa.

Despite the fact that the Ell Paso &
Southwestern has two big rotary snow
ploWs, one belonging to the Chicago.
ROCK Island & Pacific, and a large
gang of men at work, it has been un-
able to cope with the snow conditions
which have prevailed for the last few
days on the plains in south eastern
New Mexico, and as a result traffic. on
this line, which is used by the Rock
Island for its transcontinental trains, is
at a standstill. TIME and time again
within the last few days has the Ell
Paso & Southwestern opened its lines
through small mountains of snow
southwest of Santa Rosa and just as
soon as the trains which had been
stalled from twelve to thirty-six hours
got under way d heavy wind has come
up and blown the snow back in the
cuts and fills, stopping traffic again.
Reports received at the. Rock Island
offices here last night and this morn
ing were to the effect that there was
no telling when the southwestern line
would be opened for traIhc unoer tne
present conditions, so arrangements
have been made by the Rock Island
officials with those of the Atkinson,
Topeka &, Santa Fe to run the ROCK
Island overland trains, including the
Golden State limited over the Dawson
line from it's junction with the ROCK
Island line at Tecumcari, y. M, norLh

W. 7. VERNON HERE.
Enters Emphatic Denial of Washing.
ton Charges.

W. T. Vernon, president of Quindaro
institute, against whose appointment as
register of the treasury such a sensa-
tional fight is being made, came to To-
peka today, and made the following
statement concerning the charges filed
against him at Washington:
L deny these charges absolutely; I
shall make proper reply to them in due
time Tt takes some time to collect the
evidence necessary to refute such
charges, but when I am ready I shall
make my defense in Washington. I do
not mean that I shall go to Washington.
but my defense will be made there.
am not going to make any answer to the
charges through the newspapers. am
willing to await the vindication of the
public until my formal reply is fled
Mr.. Vernon stated that his visit to
Topeka is not for the purpose of collect
ing evidence in his behalf. He said he
came here on other business. This
morning he called at the office of Gov
ernor Hoch He was accompanied by
Nick Chiles and w. w. Fisher
Chiles was more communicative than
the others about the Vernon affair. He
said:
.'The charges against Vernon date
back s years, when he was at Law
renee. They are brought forward now
by just nine people who are sore at
Vernon because he would not submit to
blackmail. The people who make the
charges are the scum of the earth; they
are the off-scourings of humanity, and
their charges won't last long under in
vestigation.
when the time comes. Mr.. Vernon
viii produce the original letters written
by a number of people in this blackmail
scheme which has been going on. He
will show the animus of this whole fight
They tried to extort hush money from
him. and he refused to put up. That
is the secret of the whole business. It
is positively ridiculous to go to digging
back eight years into a mans past to
find some little alleged scandal upon
which to hang such charges
Paul Jones, the Topeka man who is
editor of a negro paper, is said to be
one of those who has fled the charges
against Vernon. Chiles does not make
any charge of blackmail against Jones,
but says that he is enviOus of Wernon's
success.
Ever since Jones started his paper he
has been hammering away at Vernon,
and limiting that he had a dark and
mysterious past which ought to be I'M
covered. He has attacked Nernon's
work, but this is the first time that the
nature of the charges has become
known.
The charge against Vernon has to do
with his life while a resident of Law
renee It is claimed that he became in
VOlved in a woman scandal.
