CAN SEIZE TRUST G)ODS|
Section 8 Of the Sherman Anti Trust
Law Gives the Government
That Power.
THE TOBACCO TRUST THE FIRST VICTIM
Large Consignment Of Cigarettes
Seized by Authorities at Norfolk, Va
Other illegal Combinations &c
suffer-New Step for Purpose OF
Securing Action In Trust cases.

Washington. Oct. 22.-The depart
ment OF justice has decided to TAX,
action under section six OF the Sher
man antitrust net, tnrough which I'll,
government IL empowered to seiz'
and confiscate goods manufactured ol
owned by u trust OF combination IN
restraint OF trade.
A large consignment OF cigarettes
manufactured by the Tobacco trust
and offered for shipment nj NoriolI
was seized Monday ut the instance oI
the attorney general BY the collector
VI customs ut Norfolk.
The action Of the department IL ad
mittedly like q thunderbolt frm {
clear sky. for the tobacco trust. who's,
goods to the value Of $1,000 wer,
seized. as well as the other big com
binations against which the govern
ment has already begun action or pro
poses to proceed.
The possibilities offered by the en-
forcement OF this section OF the act
are almost limitless, In the opinion ol
many good lawyers here. While 81
far as known only the tobacco trust
has been subjected to the proceeding
thus far. II Is known that the govern
ment has II In mind to proceed against
the coal trust and the Standard or
company and others Of the big com
binations complained OF.
The official statement given out by
the department Of justice after the
action was taken at Richmond against
the consignment OF tobacco, makes ne
mention OF the object Of lie proceed
ing further than Is apparent on the
surface. II Is learned. however. that
the law officers of the government
have not relished the cavalier manner
In which antitrust proceedings thus
far have been treated by the trust law
yers. They have felt that the unnec
essary delays and evasions have been
resorted to. and the big combinations
have not fully appreciated the serious
ness and earnestness OF purpose on
the part OF the government.
It 10 now proposed to take this new
step with the purpose OF joining the
issues more sQuarely and securing
an earlier decision in trust cases. II
10 realized that immediate confisca
ton OF the tobacco seized is not to be
expected. The tobacco will probably
be fought over In the courts. The
fight will probably be first along the
line OF an attempt to replevin the to
bacco.
To again secure control Of the to
bacco II will be necessary for the
combination complained Of, to SNOW
that 1t Is not operating in violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law. Even II
successful In this 1t is inevitable that
some valuable and much sought for
evidence will be secured for the prose
cution of the main case against the to
bacco trust in New York. which looks
to the dissolution Of the combina'
ton.

THE POLICE COURT. Antonio Daniello Fined $50 and Costs for Stabbing Affray.

Antonio Daniello was fined $50 and costs and committed to jail for four months in the city court to-day by Judge Burpee for assaulting Henry Byrnes on East Main street on the evening of January {. There was no defense and an appeal was taken from the penalty imposed. Michael Han nan was committed to jail for sixty days for intoxication and vagrancy. Vincent Brennan and Samuel Coyle got into an argument with vincenzo Nocera Monday, because Nocera wore a yellow neckerchief. Brennan said he had nothing to do with the row. but he was knocked down. and hit three times by Nocera with a fence picket. Nocera admitted striking Brennan, but said he did it in self defense. Judge Burpee found justi- ficstion for the blows and suspended sentence. A case against Frank Bar beri for theft from the person of a scarf pin worth g. was continued. One story is that he took the pin in payment of a debt from Joseph Fall zon's necktie- Another was that he just snstched it out of the mans tie and ran.

HAD LARGE JOB ON HAND.
Stork Almost Ready to Go Out ot Business on One Job.

Entering his humble home. the man was vastly startled to meet the stork coming out; and when he observed that the fabled fowl was sweating at every pore, as being under great stress. consternation seized him. For he was poor man, who had already much ado to make both ends meet. Indeed. his hair rose on end and his voice all but stuck in his jaws. What are you doing here?" he made shift to gasp. by dint of great effort. There's pair of microbes in that pint of milk you bought last night. and I'm having to bring them 14.0o0.- 100000 little ones every two hours" quoth the stork. not in the best of humor. T declare I don't know what l should do if race suicide had not come in coincidently with the germ theory" And he hurried on, mutter- ing under his breath. leaving the man much relieved. albeit not . little astonished.

Unabashed Peserson.

Although blamed for epidemics and sundry other evils, milkmen some times have a redeeming sense of hu- nor. At least a story told by Prof. John c. Scott of Northwestern univer- sity would indicate it. Professor Scott's milkman also furnishes his family with eggs. One morning this man, whom the professor in telling the story called Peterson, brought half q dozen eggs to the house. When Mrs. Scott had occasion to use them she broke one after another, but each proved to have outlived its usefulness. Mrs. Scott's just indignation arose un- til by the next morning it had reached a high pitch. Incensed further by the fact that there were no eggs to pre- pare for her husbands breakfast. she was ready to give vent to her wrath when the offending milkman arrived. Peterson" she said. transn1ing him with a stern glare. -all of the eggs you brought yesterday were rotten" Yes. ma'sm.- the philosophical Peterson re- piled, but were they satisfactory in other respects- The professors wife led

PUSH THE couNrRrs TRADE.
Invaluable Work That 10 Done by
 American Drummer.

The American drummer is the greatest patriot in the world" said w. J. Clark. in the Washington Post. q believe no other men can touch the Americans in selling goods or boost ing their country. The travelling men of the United States have made our foreign trade. They are good mixers. quick to catch on and are the great est civilizers we have. with the ex. ception of the newspapers. How faithful and patriotic they are none but those who have seen them can appreciate. Their patriotism is put to the real test, for anyone who has trav- eied in foreign country longs to get back home when he has been years away from his fireside. But the men stick to their work, knowing that 1t is up to them to make trade. And they are doing 1t bravely and surely. There is no better trademark in Europe to- day than that which appears on Amer ican goods. Foreign countries know 1t, too. for many of them are con- tinually making limitations of our manufactured products. and some are even going so far as to mark them with American names. The people of Europe are beginning to look upon goods that come from America the same as we looked upon woolens and other articles a few years ago that were marked imported"

 Trunk Sewer.

Three suits have been brought against the Grouse Construction com pany. which is building the trunk sewer for the city. Although the Grouse corcern has not the whole contract. it has done the greater part of the work down near Riverside park since the McGovern Construc- tion company gave it up as bad job.

Property of the defendant has been attached for the amount involved in the suits and $2,700 which the Grouse concern has coming from the city has been held up. The part of the work which the Grouse company is doing is almost completed after many serious set backs.

RISE OF CREEK
Three Men Drowned and Bridges
 Washed Away Ny the Freshet
A HOURS OF RAIN

Pittsburg, March 1S.-Three men drowned. a railroad bridge washed away, a county bridge in danger of following the railroad bridge into the Allegheny river and an engine and five freight cars in the water, are the first results of the rapid rise during the night of Deer creek. near liar marsville, Pa. on the West Pennsyl- vania railroad.
 The dead:
 I. B. MlKesell, engineer, Allegheny.
 w. J. Cantwell, fireman, Darling ton, Pa.
 J. M. Johns, brakeman, Freeport, Pa.
 About 4:'50 o'clock this morning a freight train east bound entered on the bridge. but had not got further than the second pier when it gave way. Before the engineer, fireman or a brakeman on the front part of the train could realize what had hap pened the bridge went down, carry ing the engine, trainmen and five freight cars with it. The Deer creek during the night had attained a height of sixteen feet instead of the normal from four to six feet. So great was the force of the current that one of the five cars, heavily load ed, was carried down the creek more than quarter of mile. The fire man, engineer and brakeman were dragged into the roaring current and drowned.
 Rain has been falling for more than twenty-four hours at Pittsburg and the headwaters and high water is extreme, although a flood stage at Pittsburg may not be reached.
