SEAT TRUST PUNISHED
MEMBERS FINED SUMS RANGING
FROM $500 TO $4,000.
Judge Lands Declares Penalty Is made.
quate to Fit Crime-Poverty Plea
Lightens Sentence.

CHICAGO, H., May 2O.-Judge Lam
dis today fined f. A. Holbrook, the
American Seating company, and the A.
H. Andrews company $4,000 each, and
nine other furniture companies amounts
ranging from $500 to $4,000 for violation
of the antitrust laws in forming a con-
spiracy in restraint of trade. The de-
PENDANTS pleaded guilty. They are:
Superior Manufacturing company, Nruske
gon, Mich.
Owensboro Seating and Cabinet company,
Greensboro Ky.
Southern Seating and Cabinet company,
Jackson, Tenn.
Cincinnati Seating company, Cincinnati
Friedman Seating company, New Rich
mond, 0.
H c. Voght Sons & Co., Parker City,
Ind.
Minneapolis Office and School Furniture
company, Minneapolis.
Illinois Refrigerator company, Morrison,
Ill.
Peabondy School Furniture company,
North Manchester, Ind.
Haney School Furniture company, Grand
Rapids Mich.
Hudson School Furniture company, Lo-
gan, W. Va.
Judge Lands preceded the delivery of
sentence by a scathing denunciation OF
the methods adopted by the church and
school furniture trust declaring that the
punishment fixed by law is inadequate
to fit the crime. The comparative pow
erty of the smaller firms furnished the
courts reason for not timing them the
maximum.
Holbrook acted as a sort of clearing
house for the combine, which called it
self the Prudential club, Judge Lands
said. Holbrook apportioned the con-
tracts and by means of dummy bids MEM
bers of the combine avoided competition
when l reflect upon the methods re-
sorted to l wonder why men engage in
such a business to get money. 1t was
done to get business. Most any man,
l would think, would prefer to work in
ditch at $3.50 day. That is I'M
questionably a more dignifed method.
LAS for the small concern, it becomes
my duty to avoid closing up such con-
Germs, and it seems that severe punish
ment would force some of them into
bankruptcy. To keep them in independ-
ent operation is the only hope the con-
sumers have against the big concerns.
If we were to put them out of business
the Andrews and American Seating COM
panies would have no difficulty in taking
full control"

Her Plot Cunning1y Laid.

A story Of an amazingly audacious
swindle comes from Madrid, Spain. The
heroine is handsome, elegantly
dressed woman who the other day Wis
tied a specialist in mental diseases on
behalf Of her husband, who, she said,
was a sufferer from religious mania.
Having explained the case, it was ar
ranged that she should return in about
an hour with the afflicted husband.
The next scene Of action was a jew
eIer's shop in another part Of the city,
where she selected diamonds to the val
ue of $1,000 on the understanding that
she would buy them If her husband ap-
proved. Would someone accompany her
home in a cab and the money would be
paid Immediately?
A trusted clerk was sent and with
him the lady drove back to the doctors
house. In an ante-room she took the
stones, Gust to show them to her hus-
band,'' then entering with sublime as
surance the doctors study, she in
formed the specialist that her husband
was now in the ante-room and ready
to be examined.
Leaving a visiting card, the lady
took her departure and the doctor, bid
ding the supposed patient to enter, pro-
ceeded at his leisure to ask profess
sional questions. The jewelers. man
was puzzled at first, but soon he real
lied that he had been made the victim
Of a clever fraud. The doctor, how
ever, interpreted his agitation as
caused by his complaint and when
after two hours matters were finally
explained the lady impostor had van
ished with her spoils without leaving
any trace.

Why Roumanian Jews Are Freckled

This from a London News correspond
ent in Roumania:
But the most striking thing to an Eng
fish eye about the Roumanian Jew is
that he (or she) is usually fair, with red
hair and freckled skin. This last pecu-
liarity has an explanation which is gen
orally accepted as historical in Roumania.
1t is told that a party of Jews, imme-
diately after the Crucifxion and Resur-
over a basin of soup in which floated a
the feelings of the rest by declaring that
they might as well ask him to believe
that the boiled cock could rise out of
the soup and fly. On the instant the
cock did so, growing loudly and tapping
it's wings so as to spatter the faces of
all present with soup. The Jews have
been freckled ever since.

CHAPTER x


The travellers had scarce time to con-
csaI themselves ere several knocks on the
door warned the landlord that the mystic
fiOus guests he expected were beginning
to arriv.
The door was hardly ajar ere several
men burst into the inn, thrusting each
other aside in their haste, as if afraid
Of being followed. These men were seven
OF eight in number, and it was easy to
see they were officers, in spite of the pre-
caution of some among them who had put

They laughed and TESTED loudly. The
