TRIES TO
PREVENT
COMBINES

II is unlawful for any person,
firm. or other organization to enter
into an agreement the object of
which shall be;
To restrain trade or commerce.
To limit production or increase or
reduce prices.
To interfer with unrestricted COM
petition.
To preclude the sale of any COM
modify 10 consumers or merchants.
To rebate any part of the price of
any article.
A fine of from $50 to $500 and i'm
prisonment not exceeding six months
is provided as a penalty for viola
tions,
Portland has taken a step that is
new among the cities of the United
States by passing an ordinance for
the purpose of regulating, or rather
suppressing, trusts. At the meeting
of the council yesterday afternoon
the Belding ordinance, the provisions,
of which will be far-reaching, If rig
idly enforced, was passed and the
municipality is now in possession Of
a weapon with which TO fight the
trade combinations that are said TO
have grown ap in many branches of
its commercial life.
BY this action II is said Portland is
the first city of the country TO at
tempt TO deal directly with the trust
problem. Interstate and state laws
for the control OF allied firms and
corporations are many, but, so far as
is known, this is the first time that
city has essayed to take up the
eudgel and apply 1t to those who are
restraining trade and arbitrarily fx-
ing prices. Even those who backed
the measure recognize it in an expert
ment, but express their determination
to see that II Is enforced and their
confidence in its effectiveness.

CAYUSE
SAW HIS
CHANGE
AndiOf Course He Did Not Fail to Take
Advantage of II

There was a mix-up on the big
river bridge yesterday evening that
kept several people guessing for a
little while, and that looked as
though It would surely wind up
with an ambulance call. Some young
fellow was riding a cayuse, one of
the genuine "unbusted" kind, and
was crossing the bridge with several
young fellows following on bicycles
10 see the fun" On the bridge a
single rig with a man and woman
riding in It was met. The cayuse at
once recognized the fact that here
was chance to stir up trouble and
at once began to stir. He refused TO
pass the cart, but whirled around,
and In spite of the repeated jabblng
he got from a pair of stern-wheel
rlgged boots, and other urgent re-
quests to go ahead, he steadily went
backward. He backed the patient
and astonlshed horse attached to the
cart into the side of the bridge, and
tried to back through him. he smash
ed one of the shafts and upset the
cart, and got his rider off, and the
people In the cart out, and then he
danced the serpentine, and skirt
dance, and some other that would
make even Salome green with envy,
stepping dalntily around and over his
fallen enemies and skllfully avoiding
hurting anybody. When he got tired
he walked out OF the mess and allow
ed himself to be led away. Great is
the cayuse!

Among the many new clown
stunts that will be seen with Ringing

day, Aug. 2S, is the great act OF the
Toreodors, a company OF European
comedians, who last winter created
roars OF laughter all over the East
ern hemisphere. Their act is that
OF party of Spanish toreadors bat
Ting in a pen with a dozen frisky
bulls, which are In reality troup OF
trained donkeys in ridiculous bull
makeup. The act ends by the abso-
lutte wrecklng OF the bull pit; and
tho fighters are put to rout in a
manner that is side-splitting.
George Hartzel's funny photo
graphic studio scene Is another stunt
that is a scream of laughter from
start to finish. other comedy spec
ialtles are a great clown dog act, Art
Jarvis mule riding. grotesque
horizontal bar stunt by Horton and
Linder. a burlesQue acrobatIc act by
the celebrated Marno trio. and
arenlc trayesties by the Livingston
and Preset trios.
Besides these there are fifty regu-
lar clowns, and each one OF them has
e. new set of tricks. A few OF these
clever merrymakers are Al Miaco,
the cleverest circus pantomimist
that ever lived; Jules Turnour. the
famous French buffoon; Doe Kealey,
whose impersonation of an august
corner policeman is masterpiece OF
Characterization; Al White, clever
impersOnatOr who works from the
audience; Grant and Gunther, the
celebrated tramp comedians; jolly
Dick Ford and "MuehfunA Smith.
Old prehistoric gags and ancient
stunts have been abolished by these
versatile comedians. Not one OF
them has 10 resort 10 time-worn
tactics TO provoke a laugh.
Novelty prevails throughout the
entire performance. There are 800
performers in all. and they represent
the worlds greatest talent. Never
before has circus possessed one
tenth the attractiyeness of this great
circus this season. Novelty first eX-
presses Itself in the greatest parade
that ever passed through the streets
of city. II is all entirely new in
material and one long chain of
novelties. The menagerie has been
increased by the addition OF a num-
ber of animal specimens never be-
fore seen in this country, ana an en-
tirely new spectacle introduces the

STOCKS
TAKE A :
TUMBLE

New York, Aug. 14.-The stock
market had another feverish day
of It today that rivalled in
excitement the session of Monday.
The bears were in almost full con-
troll and for the greater part of the
day had things nearly all their own
way. The desire to sell seemed up
permost in the minds of the traders
and Liquidation was heavy and near
ly continuous. Only few brief raj
lies varied the monotony of the fall
ing movement. The net result OF
the day was a loss of from seven
points downward throughout the list
Nervousness was apparent at the
opening of the session and as the
trading progressed the feeling of
uneasiness increased until 1t soon
bordered on panic. The market
was almost entirely lacking in sup
port, while on the otter hand several
incidents occurred that only served
to deepen the gloom. One was the
report of the Pope failure which
aroused apprehension as to its conse-
quences. Another cause of depres-
sion was the belief which took hold
of operators that the Washington
administration would continue to
push with vigor its prosecution OF
corporations. Added to these was
the utter prostration of the demand
for securities, and In view of the
amount of business transacted 1t Is
plainly evident that sacrifices could
not be avoided.
Railroad Stocks Decline.
While the bears directed their at
tack against the active issues, nearly
every stock in the list suffered more
or less in sympathy. A decline OF
point or more occurred in the ini-
tial dealings in copper, smelling
steel, Atchison and Northern Pacific.
These stocks, together with Union
Pacific, were dumped on the market
in blocks and a further drop of two
to four points occurred. Selling was
Invariably accompanied by declines
which were only temporarily checked
when q rally took place.
The final hour was the worst OF the
day. The excitement had spread to
all parts of the list where any at
tempt to market stocks was made AMI
prices crumpled almost without in
termission.
Just at the close, covering by
shorts, who concluded that II there
was any bottom to the market II
must have been sounded. caused a
rally by which one to two points
were recovered. This rally was still
in ,progress when the session ended.
Among the heaviest losers of the day
were Amalgamated Copper and Union
Pacific, which are each OF seven
points, and the common stock OF the
latter. which declined 6$ points.
