ATTACKS BREWERS COMBINE.
A Suit in Custer Is Begun by the
Prosecuting Attorney of GaIia
County, Ohio.

Gallipolis, GA suit in quo
warranto was filed in the circuit
court of Gallia county Saturday night
against the Hoster Columbus Associ
ated Breweries Co. by the state of
Ohio on the relation of A. o. Dickey,
prosecuting attorney.
The petition alleges that the Hoster
Brewing Co, the G. Born & Son Co.,
the N. Schlee & Son Co. and the Co.
lumbus Brewing Co. were all engaged
in competitive trade until the said
companies were organized into one to
create and carry out restrictions in
the trade of brewing; to prevent COM
petition in manufacturing and selling
their products; to fix and control tie
price of said product and to bind
themselves to establish the price of
their product, in order to preclude
free competition among themselves
and their purchasers, all in violation
of the Valentine antitrust act; and to
make possible the arbitrary raising
and lowering of the price of beer, ale
and malt liquors, ice and similar pro-
ducts throughout Ohio.

REBATE CASE
Ends in Conviction of New
York Central Co.
AND AN OFFICIAL.
A Jury in the Federal Court at New
York City Finds that IndiCt-
mentS We're True.

New York.-A verdict of guilty
OF granting rebates on sugar
shipments was returned by jury in
the United States court here Wednes-
day against the New York Central
Railway Co. and Frederick L. Pome-
roy, the company's general traffic
manager. Sentence was deferred un-
til Friday to permit the attorneys for
the defense to file motions with the
court. In discussing the jurys YER
dict, Austen G. Fox, counsel for the
defendants, placed the responsibility
for the conviction of his clients upon
public opinion
You can't defend rebate cases in
the present state of public opinion, -
said he.
The charge against the New York
Central and Pomeroy was based upon
indictments found by the United
States grand jury after many months
of investigation. It was alleged that
the defendants entered into an ar
rangement with the American Sugar
Refining Co. whereby Edgar & Son, of
Detroit, were favored by reduction
OF nVe cents per hundred weight on
sugar shipments from New York to
Detroit from the regular traffic rates.
The jury was out an hour.
According to the provisions of the
Elkins act, under which the convic-
tions were secured, the maximum
penalty is fine of $4,000 AS both
the Central and the personal defend
ant, Frederick l.. Pomeroy, are con-
victed by the decision of the jury on
all of the six counts charged in the
indictment, the total fine for each can
be $4,000.

dent of the Southern Pacific, clashed

the face of the record Mr.. Fish ap-
pears to have been the victor, but
that the victory is not final one is
lnsinuated by Mr. Cromwell. The
representative of Mr.. Hartman said
after the meeting:
"Of a directory of 13 people there
are still seven members who have
placed themselves on record in oppo-
sition to Mr.. Fish in this contest.
There will be meeting of the board.
probably in November This board
will elect the officers of the railroad.

JEROME AND THE THAW CASE.
District Attorney Seeks to Have a
Writ AnnuIed Which Forbids Fur
ther Action by Grand Jury

New York.-There was re-
vival of interest Tuesday in the
case of Harry X. Thaw, charged with
the murder of Stanford White, when
in court District Attorney Jerome in
timated that there might be other in.
dictments in the case.
The statement by the district at.
torney was made in the course of an
argument before Recorder Goff
against the writ of prohibition re-
straining the district attorneys office
from further preliminary action in
grand jury proceedings in the murder
case.
Following the hearing Clifford w.
Hartridge, Thaw's counsel, called
upon the prisoner at the Tombs. At
ter his visit the lawyer explained that
Thaw had read the evening papers
and feared from what he had read of
the proceedings before Recorder Goff
that an attempt might be made to in
dict his wife or other members of the
family.
The recorder at the request of Mr..
Jerome, adjourned the proceedings so
that the district attorney might OBJ.
tain a formal order having the argu-
ment transferred to Justice McLean's 8
court, where it was first heard
Mr.. jerome said he had been en-
barrassed by the temporary writ of
prohibition issued by Justice Mclean.
Il hope you have" broke in Mr.,
Gleason, of Thaw's counsel. And
hope | may continue to embarrass the
district attorney from taking in Sc
cret evidence that may send my client
to the electric chair.
"Forty-three depositions have been
taken in this case against the consti-
tutional rights of this defendant"
Mr.. Jerome leaped to his feet and
said:
mot a deposition taken by the dis.
trict attorney in this case could be
used against Thaw in the trial and
counsel we'll knows it,"

Widow of the President of the Con
federacy Passes Away at Her
Home in New York.

New York.-Mrs. Jefferson Davis
Confederacy, who has been ill for &
week at the Hotel Majestic in this
city, died at 1925 o'clock last night
Death was due to pneumonia induced
by severe cold which Mrs. Davis
contracted upon her return from the
Adirondacks, where she had spent the
summer months. She was slightly
past 80 years of age.
Although grave fears were fell
from the first, Mrs. Davis wonderful
vitality which brought her safely
through similar attack a year ago
gave hope of ultimate recovery until
Monday night, when decided change
for the worse was evident and the at
tending physicians announced that
the end was near. 1t was then be
lieved that Mrs. Davis could not sur
vive the night, but she rallied slight
ly during the early hours of Tuesday
Shortly after 7 o'clock in the morn
ing she had sinking spell and Rev
Nathan A. Seagle, rector of st. Ste
phen's Protestant Episcopal church
was summoned to give religious com
fort to the patient in her last mo
ments of consciousness. The clergy
man remained some time and an hour
later it was announced that Mrs
Davis had lapsed into state of coma
The period of Inconsistencies con.
tinued to the end. At the deathbed

One of the Smithsonian scientists
calls attention to the fact that the du-
ration of the lives of the lower ami
mails differs from that of mems lives
in being far more uniform. While
human beings die at all ages between
infancy and senility, among the lower
animals, on the contrary, all individ-
uals of the same species live to very
nearly the same age, unless killed by
violence. Some examples of remark
able longevity among animals may be
cited, says the Philadelphia Record.
For instance, there is the story of the
elephant Ajax, which Alexander cap
tured ct his victory over Porus. The
conqueror affixed an inscription to the
animal and set it at liberty. Three
hundred and fifty years later Ajax is
said to have been found still living.
But little dependence can be placed
on most stories of long life among
animals.

Norfolk, Va.-The steamer George

When Hatteras was passed late
Friday night, Capt. Chisholm found

could not maintain sufficient steam
by burning part of his cargo to keep

blowing. He describes the storm of

An extremely proper young New
England woman was kindergartener
in large city. Getting into street
car one day, she bowed to a man
whom she thought was the father of
two of the children under her charge.
AS soon as she had done so she real
lied her mistake, and as he got off the
car at the same time as herself, she
stepped up to him and said.
Please pardon my speaking to you,
but l thought you were the father of
two of my children. Judge.

When.

When the bees have left the clover,
When the baseball game is over,
And the umpire has recovered from the
shock;
When mosquitoes cease their drilling,
When the heat is not 50 killing
If you have to take a walk around the
block;
When there's no more of this chatter,
Which informs you that the matter
With the climate is humidity, not heat,
Spite of summers soft elation,
Without any hesitation,
You'll admit that autumn's mighty hard
to beat.
