CEMENT TRUST
Is NOT PROBABLE.
United States Geological Survey Says
Nature Will Defeat Such an
Effort.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. S.-A
bulletin issued by the geological survey
ON the "Concentration of Cement inter-
ests declares that, setting aside as I'M
practicable the question of trusts and
combinations based on monopoly of raw
materials, it can be said that there is
noticeable certain concentration of in
tereStS in the cement industry and that
this possibly will become more marked
year by year.
The lightweight plants in existence
in 1903 are owned by seventy-elght
companies and several of these nomin-
ally independent companies are closely
connected by ownership" The bulletin
continues:
The nature of the cement industry rem
derS 1t improbable that any combination or
noncompGttiVe arrangement can be carried
to such a point to result in monopoly
Of the industry and permanently high
prices.
The cement industry is at present in a
more concentrated condition than was the
iron and steel industry at the date of for
concentration does not seem practicable.
Figures obtained unofticially would indicate
that the total authorized capitalization of
all the American Portland cement COM
panies now in operation will fall between
the limits of $110,O00,000 and $125, 100000.
This cannot be considered excessive, in
view of the fact that it would cost probably
SI0,UOO,OOo to SS5,0OO,0U0 to replace the prop
critics and plants now in existence.

for the Zulu is a born politician and
spends his time in gossip and drinking
tivala Ga native beer, content with his
lot nor caring for the morrow.
This poly gamOuS custom causes the
dearth of labor and all its attendant
troubles in South Africa. In Il genial
climate the Zuu's wants are few; he
needs no clothes; his land and cattle,
titled and tended by his wives, supply all
his requirements. The chase, in a land
where game abounds, affords recreation
and food.

A Gold and Steel Engine.

A matchmaker of Ontario has made n
remarkable working model of an engine.
1t weighs only four grains, and is made
of gold and steel. 1t would take 12O Of
these almost microscopic engines to weigh
an ounce, while 1920 would be required
to weigh pound, and 3,S4OOO to weigh
a ton. The speed and horsepower of this
little model have been estimated by Prof.

DR.. BROUWER Is
PLACED ON TRIAL,
New Jersey Town Is Sharply Divided
Over the Mysterious Death
of His Wife

TOMS RIVER, y. J., Oct. S.-Dr.
Frank Brouwer. who, until his arrest,
several months ago, on charge OF wife
murder, was a prominent practicing ply
sician here. was placed on trial today
for his life. The presiding justice is
Charles +. Hendrckson of the supreme
court. 1t was announced at the opening
Of the trial that each side will call about
forty witnesses.
Public feeling had been aroused to
marked degree by what has come to
be known throughout Il large part Of the
state as the Brouwer case" and in
some places, particularly in this county,
the line between DR.. Brouwer's accuserS
and defenders has been sharply drawn.
One outgrowth Of this is a fund of $500,
Which has been contributed by the ac-
cuSed mans friends to aid in meeting
the costs of the defense.
Husband Treated the Wife.
Mrs. Brouwer died i'll September, 1905,
after an illness which was diagnosed III
first by her husband as cholera mOrbus.
Two trained nurses called to attend Mrs.
BrouWer, declared themselves diSSatiS-
he'd with the treatment administered by
Dr. BrouWer and withdrew from the
case. Another nurse was employed and
Or. IL. Nj. Cate was called in conSulta-
ton. DR.. Cate retired from the case,
but later signed Il death certificate set
ting forth that Mrs. BrouWer died at
L,rlght's disease.
Soon after the funeral rumors began
to spread that there was something SuS-
piciouS about Mrs. Brcuwer's death. Be
sides the fact of the retirement o. the
nurses and DI. Cate it WAS also said
there had been quarrelS between DIR.
BrOuWer and his wife over the admin
istration OF hGr parents estate. 1t also
was rumcred that Mrs. Brouwer had
been Jealous of one of the doctors WOm-
an patents and that this had caused
disagreement between the couple.
Brother Begins Investigation.
Trtvonian EIyr OF Long Branch,
brother of the dead woman, heard of
these reports and finally began an inyes-
tgatiOn. The Metropolitan Life InSur-
ance company, i'll which Mrs. BrouWer
was insured for $1,000 in favor of her
husband, refused to pay the policy and
also began an inquiry. AS a result of
these Investigations the body was eX
humed December 10, and an autopsy
performer.
That Mrs Brouwer's death had not
been caused by Bright's disease Is said
reached by the physicians. The digestive
organs were removed from the body and
sent to DR.. Genth of the University of
Pennsylvania for an analysis of the con-
tents.
DR.. Genth is said to have reported
that he had found traces of arsenic and
what was supposed to be ground glass III
the stomach. The grand jury found an
indictment in January charging DIR.
Brouwer with the murder of his wife
and he was arrested.
