UNDER ANTITRUST LAW.
City of Atlanta Wins Suit Against
Pipe Combine. ---s :

Washington, Dec. 4-The supreme
court of the United States has decided
the case of the city of Atlanta, Ca,
against the so-called pipe line trust"
in favor of the CITY, The title of the
case as it was presented to the court
was the Chattanooga Foundry and
Pipe Works and South Pittsburg Pipe
company VS.. the city of Atlanta, the
case coming to this court in pursu-
ance of an effort by the pipe manu-
facturers to secure the reversal Of
decision by the circuit court of ap-
peals, which was unfavorable to them.
The suit was instituted by the city
under the Sherman antitrust law on
the complaint that by the combina-
ton Of the manufacturers the munich
pality had been compelled to pay an
excess Of $4,000 over a fair price on
orders for pipe amounting to $4,000.
The city asked damages in the sum of
$4,000, or three times the amount of
loss, but the court of appeals, affirming
decision by the circuit court for
East Tennessee, allowed $1,000. The
essential violation of the law alleged
was that all the pipemakers had so
manipulated their bids as to throw
the contracts to the Admission Pipe
and Foundry company of Admission,
Ala, rendering that company's bids
the lowest offered, Notwithstanding
they were still exorbitant ..

A Peculiar Predicarnent.

Homesteaders in this section
should draw q moral from the
following, clipped from the
Roseau County Times. no doubt
there are many in this neighbor-
hood without second papers who
are figuring on proving up on
their claims under the seven.
year act, and to those especially
we wish to draw attention of how
easily they may run against a
snag:
On Monday Andrew Tonneslan,
q homesteader in the town of
Deer, Roseau county, Mimi,
applied to the clerk of the court
under the new naturalization
laws for citizenship. The notice
of application has to be posted
ninety days before the term of
the district court at which the
same has to be heard. The
general terms of court are held
in Roseau county on the second
Monday in January and third
Monday in July. The application
of Tonneslan could only be heard
at the July term of court, It
will be seven years on April 81,
1907, since Tonneslan filed on his
homestead and without his final
citizen papers he could not make
final proof, The July term of
court will be too late for him and
unless he can be admitted to
citizenship before April 81, he
will be compelled to commute
his entry which will cost him
5000. The clerk says there are
a mum Der of homesteaders in the
same fix as Tonneslan, probably
hundreds of them. The home
stead laws could be amended,
extending the time to cover such
cases. Clerk Hagen will ask
Judge Grindeland to hold a
special term of court in April for
the purpose of hearing applica-
tions for citizenship, and should
the judge comply with the re
quest of the clerk, Mr.. Tonneslan
and a few others will be relieved
of the necessity of committing.

SUPREME COURT DECIDES THE
HABEAs CORPUS CASES OF
MOVER AND OTHERS.
nus1 REMAIN IN JAIL IN IDAHO
PRISONERS CHARGED WITH COM.
PLIcITY IN MURDER OF FOR.
MER GOVERNOR.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The supreme
court Of the United States has de-
cided the habeas corpus cases of
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, the
representatives of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners who are now held in
prison in Idaho on the charge of com.
plicity in the murder of former Gov
ernOr Steunenberg, adversely to the
men. The opinion was by Justice Har-
Ian.
The effect of the decision will be
finement for trial in Idaho.
OF the men involved Charles H.
Meyer is president, w. D. Haywood
secretary-treasurer and George A. Pet
tibone member of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. They are now in
prison in Idaho, under charge of MUIR
dering former Governor Stuenenberg
of that state, although it was not
charged that they were present when
the crime was committed. The cases
came to this court on an appeal from
a decision of the Idaho federal court
refusing to grant writs of habeas cor
pus. The principal point of contro-
versy was the method by which the
Idaho authorities secured jurisdiction
over the men. All Of them are resi-
dents Of Colorado and it was alleged
on behalf of Meyer and his associ-
ates that they were kidnapped in pur-
suance of conspiracy to which the gov
ernor of Colorado and the Idaho au-
thorities were parties and thus juris-
diction was acquired by federal court
Justice Harlan said in the habeas
corpus proceedings in the United
States court the matter of extradition
of the defendants was not material.
The merits of the case we're not in
volved, as that phase was not pre-
scented. The only question there in
volved was the right of the state
courts to proceed with the cases, of
which there could be no doubt.

over sea ever accomplished by our gov.
eminent. The expedition landed COM
pletely equipped and ready for imme-
diate service. several Of Its organiza-
lions hardly remaining in Havana over
night before splitting up into detach-
ments and going to their several posts.
1t was fine demonstration Of the
value and efficiency of the general staff.
Similarly it was owing In large part
to the general board that the navy
was able at the outset to meet the Gu
ban crisis with such instant efficiency,
ship after ship appearing on the short
est notice at any threatened point,
while the marine corps in particular
performed Indispensable service. The
army and navy war colleges are Of in
calculable value to the two services,
and they cooperate with constantly in
creasing efficiency and Importance.
Shooting Galleries Needed.
The congress has most wisely pro-
vided for national board for lie pro-
motion Of rifle practice. Exce0nt re-
suits have already come from this law,
but it does not go far enough. Our
regular army Is so small that in any
great war we should have to trust
mainly to volunteers, and in such
event these volunteers should already
know how to shoot, for if soldier has
the fighting edge and ability to take
care of, himself In the open his eff
cheney on the line of battle is almost
directly proportionate to excellence In
craftsmanship. We should establish
shooting galleries in all the large pub
lie and military schools, should main
tain national target ranges In different
parts Of the country and should in
every way encourage the formation Of
rifle clubs throughout all parts Of the
land. The little republic Of Switzer-
land offers us an excellent example in
all matters connected with building up
an efficient citizen soldiery.

"sHoT UP" DAKOTA TOWN..
Disclosure Concerning Past Record Of
~ CoIored Troops. -


Washington, Dec. 4.-The war de-
partment is preparing for an investi-
cation by congress Of the case of the
companies Of the Twenty fifth infantry,
recently discharged without honor by
order of President Roosevelt, and to
this end has compiled a record of
negro troops dating back to the Civil
war. It is said that this record dis
closes a state Of affairs not generally
known-that, once before at least the
Twenty-fifth infantry shot up a
town. The affair happened in 1885
at Fort Sturgis, S. d. Some of the
negro soldiers went on a rampage
similar to that at Brownsville, Tex,
and one of their number killed citi-
zen. In that case, however, the citi-
zens took the matter in their own
hands, forced the troopers under pain
of death to disclose the name of the
man who did the killing and then took
him out and lynched him.

ippines.
Washington, Dec 4.-The annual
report of the bureau of insular affairs
of the war department emphasizes
two legislative matters before con-
gress on which it says depends, to a
large extent, the future prosperity of
the Philippine islands, One is the bill
reducing the tariff on Philippine prod
ucts to % per cent of the Dingley
rates for sugar and tobacco and max
ing all other articles free; and the
other is measure providing for the
establishment of an agricultural bank
in the islands.
During the year 800 miles of railway
have been surveyed and construction
is to be pushed. No purchases of sill
yer bullion have been made during
the year for Filipino coins owing to
the recoinage of the old Spanish Fill
pino coins. The report says that 1S4
Filipino students have been in schools
in the United States at the expense Of
the Philippine government.

TN the middle of the afternoon the
other day Mr.. Bowser came home
riding on the seat with t. driver
Of an express wagon, anu in the
body Of the vehicle was stone dog
representing canine of the Newfound-
land breed. 1t is needless to add that a
crowd of boys were following the wag-
on and passing remarks on the dog.
They were not all agreed as to whether
it was dog, calf or goat, but they
followed on with determination ia
see the thing through to the end.

piled, land was just lucky enough to
come across one today. 1t is a jim
dandy of stone dog. A more lifelike
thing never saw, and as the man was
hard up got it at bargain. Think of
getting stone dog as big as that for
eeven dollars! Why, there is almost
enough Of him to build a house."
Wouldn't flower vase have been
more appropriated queried Mrs. Bow
ser, as the crowd Of boys at the gate
had fight over the question as to
whether one Of the dogs hind legs was
not longer than the other.
Wanted Work of Art.
"You wait till get it in place and
see. Any one can have flower vase,
but when you come down to stone
dogs you have got something novel,
original and work of art 1t will be
the only one in this part Of the city.
I'll bet you that within a week have
an offer of $50 for It,"
Mr.. Bowser went out and helped the
expressman unload the dog and carry
it into the yard and place it in GER
tain position. OF course they were
ably assisted by the boys, who whis-
tied, snapped their fingers and shout
ed "Doggie!" at the senseless thing.
Driving them out Of the yard didn't
bring peace. The dog was where Mr..
Bowser wanted him and looking proud
ly at the green curtains of the house
across the street when along came the
fat grocer and stopped to lean on the
gate and observe:
"Purty good for you, Bowser; purity
good for your
you like it, do you?'
Natural as life. It's wonder to
me that the butcher didn't pick it up
for sign"
"What do you mean?"
''Why, it's a calf, and calves are
veal, and butchers sell veal. 1t runs
right from A to a."
"a calf" shouted Mr.. Bowser. you
may be an ass, but don't talk about q
dog being calfv'
"Oh, It's q dog, eh? Well. mebbe
tits. OF course there are all kinds of
dogs in the world, and l don't spose
I've seen all kinds. Excuse me for
taking your dog for calf"
Came Into the Yard.
The grocer was waddling down the
street with puzzled look on his face
when an old woman entered the yard
and was making for the basement door
when Mr.. Bowser asked what was
wanted.
could We spare pore wildly woman
cents?" she replied.
After moments hesitation the coin
was drawn out and handed to her, and
in her gratitude she exclaimed:
"What bewtiful thing it is to be
rich! Never in all my life will have
money enough to buy a stone colt like
that"
Colt, woman! Haven't you got eyes
in your head?"
81 have, sir, but as both of them
squint a trit1e perhaps they have de-
ceived me. All, see now. It's not n
colt. but lion, and he's so lifelike that
he seems about to roar. Thanks for
the money, sir, and may you and your
lion live thousand years.
Mr.. Bowser stood off and gazed at
that dog. He viewed him from seven
different points of the compass. There
