SPECIAL MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS- Is BEING PREPAR-
ED by PRESIDENT.
He Wants Legislation That Will
Make IL Possible to Prose-
cute Trusts.

Washington, April 9.-The presi-
dent is preparing a special message
to congress on legislation to make 1t
possible to prosecute persons who
enter into a conspiracy for the re-
straint Of trade. The administration
has decided that there can be no APP
peal from the decision of Judge
Humphrey, of Chicago, that the beef
trust magnates cannot be prosecuted
individually and that legislation has
not kept pace with modern varieties
of crime.
Since the decision of Judge Hum
phrey Attorney General Moody, So
lcitor General Hoyt and all the as
sistant attorney generals have been
searching the statute books for some
law which would enable the govern
'ment to prosecute the packers Grim
inally. They have been unable to find
such a law. and 1t is held that il an
appeal should be taken the packers
will have been twice in jeopardy for
the same offense. This is in viola
tlon of the constitution.

GUyING CAUSED A ROW.
The Paducab Excursion Made Lively
This Way ut Smithland.

The first river excursion of the
season was run yesterday afternoon
by the steamer Dick Fowler to Smith
land. 1t was marked by very
spirited rock fussilade at Smithland,
windows being broken out of the
boats cabin and several passengers
slightly injured by the flying mis-
siles.
The boat left Paducah at 1880
with about 200 on board. The
weather was windy and rain set up
Just before the boat landed. A mum.
Der of passengers remained aboard,
but some went ashore. Some boys
who remained aboard INDUCED in
a rag chewing" contest with boys
on the bank. The ''guying" became
so heated that some of the boys
aboard the Fowler began to throw
coal at those ashore. This started
the trouble in earnest and rocks,
pieces of brick and everything no.
tied down began coming TOWARDS tho
boat. Passengers focked to the 9TH
err side to safety and one or two wo-
men were struck by the rocks In
trying to get away. Fortunately
they were uninjured except for slight
bruises. Boat officers quoted the
disturbance but not until several
windows had been broken out on the
boat and a panic created among the
excursionists.
The boat left Smithland shortly
after 5 o'clock and arrived at Padu-
cab about G: Is. This incident was
the only unpleasant one attending
the initial excursion of the season.

Although the bill to allow farmers
TO sell thefr leaf tobacco without
paying revenue tax now levied was
unanimously passed by the house
there is little probability that it will
become law, says a Washington
special.
The reason for its chance of life
being slender Is that Senator Nelson
w. Aldrich ,sof Rhode Island. who
killed II after the house passed 1t
last year is said to object to 1t for
the same reasons and In the same de-
gree this year.
The tobacco bill was introduced in
several forms by different represent
atives. John Wesley Gaines. of Ten
nessee. and Ollie James of Kentucky.
were the principal champions of the
bill this session, but all of the mem
bers of the delegations from Ten
nessee. Kentucky and Virginia were
interested In it's adoption. After con-
slderlng the several bills the house
committee on ways and means re-
ported bill to the house and II was
passed without division.

ing states want the law passed. The

Some Curious Hoid-Ups.

Most countries are not familiar
with the masked bandits of the west
who "hold up trains, but railroad
men all oyer the world tell marvellous
tales of beasts, birds and fishes that
have held up traffic as effectually.
Animals are of course most often
disturbers of traffic. but these are
not always livestock which stray
from the fields on the tracks. In Can
ada, for instance, stays often run be-
fore train till they drop from ex-
haustion. And in Siberia 1t happen-
ed at least once that while an engine
was running at slow speed bear
sprang on the tender and attacked
the engineer. Fortunately the man
was able to drive him back to the
tracks where he was caught under
the wheels and so injured that he
was easily despatched.
In India traffic is frequently in
terrupted by all kinds of creatures,
from elephants to insects. Probably
the Uganda railway is more often dis
turhed by animals than any other.
Lions especially seem to have par
ticular antipathy for trains and fire.
quently "hold-up" one of them. One
beast which was known to have kill
ed II persons attacked a train not
long ago But, as the railway COM
pany provides ammunition and weap-
ons for just such occasions. the beast
was shot. Ostriches often cause de-
lays on the South African lines.
They have coy way of sticking
their heads in the sand ballasting OF
the track, and 1t is necessary either
to stop the train or to run over a
bird, which may be valuable pos
session, escaped from a nearby os-
trich farm.
In tropical countries insects often
succeed in holding travel at stand
still. The white ant accomplishes this
by destroying the wooden portions
of the tracks. TO overcome this diff
ficulty sleepers of iron or steel are
substituted and the manufacture OF
them has become considerable in
dustry in the north of England and
Scotland.
A wild swan kept an important
train at a standstill for some hours
1t had become entangled in the tel.
egraph wires in such a way that all
communication was stopped and II
was some time before the cause oil
the trouble was located and the bird
was released.
One would wonder how live fish
could interfere with moving trains
1t not iEfrequently happens that
they are sucked into the watering
apparatus for locomotives at country
stations. Eels and trout of consider
able size have often been caught In
this way. In India during a recent
flood. trolley car was stopped by
large fish. The water had risen IN
the streets to the height of the cal
wheels, and the fish, swept along b,
the current, had become jammed be
tween the spokes of wheel so tha'
1t could not turn.
