e AFTER POWDER TRUST
Suits Filed Against &c Corporations
for Violating Sherman Law.

Washington, July 31.-The govern
ment filed in the United States court
at Wilmington, Del, a petition
against the l.. |. Dupont Powder COM
pany of New Jersey, and twenty-four
other corporations and seventeen indi-
viduals connected with the twenty-six
corporations, which are made defend

The petition relates that all of the
defendants are engaged in interstate
trade and in gunpowder and
other high grade explosives and are
violating the act of July 2, 1890, com
monty known as the Sherman anti
trust act.
1t seeks to prevent and restrain the
unlawful existing agreements, con.
tracts, combinations and conspiracies

LAST OF ASSESSORS REPORT.
Fifteen and a Half Million Increase
In the Total Assessment.

Lincoln, July 29.-The last of the
abstracts OF county assessors has
been received and the grand assess
ment roll as fixed by the county as
SCISSORS is 1928, 700 1929. In 1906 it
was $31S,0S0, sol .02, making the in
crease this year $15,640, 036.27. AS the
increase in the personal property as
sessment is practically SIC, 200, 600
and the increase in the assessment Of
railroads practically $4,000, 900, it is
thought the state board of equalization
will change the returns of the county
assessors very little. That is, there
probably will be as many reductions
as increases. The increase in the as.
sessment is way beyond the estimates
made during the session of the legis.
lature, the university regents missing
1t over $1,000, 900 when they were
making their plea for not only the /
mill levy, but to get into the general
fund for new buildings.

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA
Hsrdeman-Covington Bill Is Passed
by the Lower House.

Atlanta, Ga, July 3l.-The Harde.
.Covington prohibition bill, passed
by the Georgia senate some days ago.
was adopted by the house by a vote of
1879 to 80. Two amendments added to
the bill by the house will necessitate
the bill going back to the senate for
concurrence, of which there is no
doubt, and the bill will then go TO
Governor Hoke Smith for his sigma.
ture, which has been practically
pledged, and prohibition will become q
law in Georgia.
The amendments permit the sale OF
pure alcohol by retail druggists on the
prescription of a reputable physician,
and also allow wholesale druggists to
carry pure alcohol in stock for sale
to retailers only.
The bill prohibits the manufacture
or keeping on hand in any place of
business, the sale or giving away to
induce business within the state OF
any liquor that may produce ~intoXica'
ton. The new law is to become effec-
tive Jan. /, 1908.

PROTEST AGAINST The FINES
Railroads and Government Clash over
Mail Regulations.

Chicago, July 31.-WesteTn railroads
are near an open break with the post
Office department over the transporta-
ton of the mails, owing to ii number
of recent orders. The latest cause Of
grievance is the imposition of heavy
fines ON nearly all the roads for de-
lay in delivering the mails. To con-
slider the situation, a number of rail-
road officials had an important confer
encc here. One official declared that
the fines levied by the government
against his road in n quarter amount
ed to $4,000. A similar condition
on other roads was reported.
The fines were assessed under a
rule which went into effect in July,
1906. The roads are amazed to find
that they are in danger of losing IL
per cent of their mail pay unless they
revise schedules and place their mail
trains upon running time which they
know they can maintain in all seasons
and in all kinds OF weather.
The new rule, the roads claim. is
oppressive and unjust. 1t provides
that if the mails are late ten times on
any route during a period Of ninety
days the road shall be assessed 10 per
cent of the pay of that route for the
quarter. Under the speed standards
as now established operating men de-
clare it would be a marvel for almost
any of the big western systems to es-
cape having their important mail
trains late more than ten times in
ninety days.

pean Turkey, fifty miles northeast of

buildings in Sores.

ATTACKS THE REVENUE LAW
Railroads AlIese Valuation Of Real
Estate Every Four Years Is Illegal.

Lincoln. July 30.-The Union Pacific
and the Burlington railroads, before
the state board OF equalization,
branched out on a different line Of at
tack in their fight against the alleged
low assessment OF real estate, by at
lacking the constitutionality OF the
law which provides real estate shall be
assessed every four years. Edison
Rich, representing the Union Pacific,
alleged in an amendment to his Pc
tltion filed with the board that this
section is not constitutional, because
it permits real estate to be assessed at
less than its real value, Testimony
taken from the auditors report was
introduced to show that the average
value of improved real estate is less at
this time than in 1904.

PRESIDENTIAL CHOICE OF REPUB-
LICRN STATE COMMITTEE.
Senator's Adherents Make Vain Effort
to Defeat Endorsement Of Secretary
and Refuse to Accept olive Branch
Extended by Taft Men.

Columbus, o., July 31.-The candi-
dacy of william II. Taft, secretary Of
war. for the Republican nomination for
president was Endorsed by the Repub-
lican state committee by a vote Of
Is TO 6. The Endorsement carried
with II "a declaration that the Repub-
leans of Ohio are opposed Ito the
elimination from public life Of Sena-
tors Foraker and Dick"
Although beaten by a decisive vote
In all the preliminary contests, the ad-
herents Of Senator Foraker in the
committee refused to accept the olive
branch extended by the Taft sup
porters, and when the resolution, as
amended, was finally accepted, no eff
fort was made to make the action OF
the committee unanimous.
The resolution as adopted by the
committee is as follows:
BE 1t resolved, by the Republican
state central committee OF Ohio, that
we believe the great majority of the
people of Ohio, convinced of the
high character, great ability and dis
tinsuished services OF Secretary Taft,
Endorses his candidacy for the presi-
dency, and, further, we declare that
the Republicans of Ohio overwhelm-
ingly desire that the name of the Hon.
William Howard Taft be presented to
the nation as Ohio's candidate for
president, and that the Republicans OF
other states be invited to cooperate
with the Republicans of Ohio to Sc
cure his nomination in 1908.
And b. It further resolved that we
emphatically declare that the Repub.
licans Of Ohio are opposed to the
elimination from public life of Sena'
tors j. b. Foraker and Charles Dick,
whose services to the party and state
have been distinguished, by ability
wisdom and patriotism"
The Endorsement of Secretary Tafts
candidacy by the Republican state
central committee was vigorously OPP
posed by Senator Foraker, who, upor
the eve of the meeting of the com
mittee, openly voiced his dissent tc
the proposition.
