GARBAGE PRODUCTS
Sold In Many Cities and Aid in Making
Reduction Plants Self Sus-
talning.

Reports which are oftlmes read OF
municipalities deriving an income from
the sale OF garbage products. such as
grease or fertilizinz matter. have
caused several Cantonians to ask why
such a system might not work out
In this city. At the present time
the garbage Is reduced by the 'incin-
Grafton" process aud the ash from
the garbage and the coal used In the
process is said to be used by the city
for filling up streets and In other
low places called to the attention OF
the street commissioner. y
The latest report heard OF the sale
OF garbage products by municipality
is In the case OF Cleveland. where
the prospective output for the coming
year, estimated at 5000. 900 pounds OF
grease. has been sold In advance. the
sale bringing to the city the sum OF
s130.500. While II is not likely that
this sum will pay the cost Of main
tanning the plant In a city the size
OF Cleveland 1t will reduce the cost
to the taxpayers In no small degree
Many other cities in the country
pay out large sums for the collection
and disposal Of garbage and It Is
likely that Cleveland is holding that
expense lower than any other city
Of It's size In the country because OF
the sale OF garbage products. Wheth-
er or not such a plan would be car
ried out successfully In Canton Ii

Primary Will Probably Settle the
Eight Early in the Fall.

Columbus, O.. July 30.-Friends OF
Secretary Taft are claiming today the
addition of three votes in the state
central committee. because of the let
ter of Foraker to C. B. Mccoy last
night Politicians generally today say
that Foraker's letter places him
squarely in the fight for the presiden-
tial nomination. Taft men say that
they will have at least thirteen votes
In, the committee for endorsement of
Taft for the presidency, and that they
may have sixteen to seventeen. For
aker leaders are insisting that they can
prevent the endorsement of Taft when
the committee meets this afternoon, but
give out no figures 1t is generally
conceded here today that Foraker's s
suggestion of a primary to settle the
matter Of Ohio's choice for the presi-
dency. and acceptance of the challenge
by Arthur Vorys, manager for Taft.
means that the state primary will prob
ably be held early in the fall, to settle
the fight.

1t is not known how the murderer

Des Moines, July S0-Those in charge

an osteopathic hospital, at cost Of
$4,000. Work will commence at once.
1t will be the only institution of the.

William e. D. Rummel, secretary
and manager Of Still college, is at the
head of the movement It is expected
That the hospital will be built and
ready for opening next year.
Yesterday letters were sent out by
Mr.. Rummel to osteopathic practi-

the proposed hospital and asking them

plan. It is believed that the osteopath-

financially and otherwise.
It Is proposed to erect a two story
structure, 100x43 feet. The building
will be thoroughly modern with the
latest equipment and as nearly as pos
sible fire and sound proof.
The hospital will not be exclusively
for osteopaths, 1t being the intention Of
the osteopaths to display more gener-f
osity toward other practitioners than
the others accord to them they claim.

rrs .st two or three days are criti-
cal s for the booster program OF
this city. Some time ago the city
council to the surprise Of everybody.
and while some OF the West Des Moines
aldermen were asleep, took steps to
issue bonds to purchase a site in East
Des Molnes for new city hall. Then
they called a special election to vote
on issuing bonds. The law provides
that the women can vote on all bond
issues above certain amount. but the
city council which Is real cute,
thought to get around this by providing
In the special election the question
Shall a city hall to cost not to exceed
$3.50 900 be erected" There was no
mention OF bonds, and so of course the
women could not vote. The vote was
favorable and on that vote the council
now proposes to issue bonds.
The women say it is Illegal, and
started suit to enJoin the Issuance
of the bonds. They decided to stand
by their rights to vote But the East
Side business men say 1t Is deep laid
plot to defeat the scheme to build the
city hall on the east side. The option
on the land expires August 1. They
threatened to test the constitutional
ity Of the commission plan Of govern
ment, and the west side business men
then got busy and got the women to
amend their suit so as to let the site be
purchased, but to prevent the issuance
of bonds to build the city hall. No
sooner had they amended their suit
than other citizens started a new suit
to stop the site purchase.
Negotiations were under way to
consolidate the East Des Moines Busi-
ness Mems League and the West Des
Moines Commercial Club, but the east
siders stopped that and threaten to not
consolidate and also threaten to tie up
In the courts the commission plan of
government unless the east side site
for the city hall is purchased. In the
lhc SSIOoi
plan and everything else in the way Of
schemes to eliminate the river division
of the city is tied up pending the set
tlement of the difficulties and the
booster program has received some
thing of a shock.
The Peoples Savings Bank, of Des
Moines today made written demand
on the Polk county supervisors for
the return of $4,000 paid in taxes on
government bonds. The demand is
based on the decision of the United
States supreme court, recently men
toned in dispatches at the time. II
they can force refund the same
thing may be done in every county on
thousands of dollars of taxes.
The Miller Printing Company, Of
Des Moines. made a demand Of the
supervisors for the county printing on
the claim that they were the lowest
bidder, and demand that the supervis-
ors recede from the order to patron
ize only union shops. Court decisions
are cited as basis OF the demand.
This means continuation of the fight
for open shops in Des Moines.

WAR BEGUN ON
POWDER TRUST
United States Commences Suit
in Circuit Court at Will
mington, Del.
GROWTH OF TRUST RAPID
1t Is Alleged That by 1902 the Assoc-
alton Controlled Ninety five Per Cent
of Its mpetitors-Petition Regard
ing Receivers Identical With That in
Tobacco Trust Action.

Wilmington, Del. July so.-The
the so-called powder trust. in the
United States circuit court here. The
government asks that the Dupont
Company, of Delaware. be restrained
from exercising control over subsi-
diary companies. Papers in the case
were filed by Assistant Attorney Gem
eral Purdy at noon. Subpoenas were
issued, returnable tho first Monday in
September. The companies are charged
with violation OF the Sherman anti
trust law.
Receivers May Be Appointed.
The court is asked to determine
whether the public interests will be
better subserved by the appointment
of receivers to take possession of the
property of the alleged trust, with the
view of bringing about conditions in
trade commerce that will be in har-
mony with the law. The prayer in this
respect is identical with that in the
so-called tobacco trust petition.
History Of tho Trust
1t is stated in the petition that in
17S2 all except three of the concerns
selling high explosives in the United
States were organized with the object
of regulating prices at which sucn
should be sold. and OF
driving other corporations out of bus
mess by unfair competitive methods.
This association enjoyed uninterrupted
operation, it is said, until 1881,
when new agreement was
entered into, with the object
of preventing new manufacturers from
engaging in the powder business. In
the meantime three of the would be-
are declared to have been
compelled to join the monopoly. 1t is
shown that there were succeeding as
sociations in 1886, in 1891 and in 1896.
each with the same general object and
composed Of the same members and
their successors. The 1896 association
continued until 1902, and during the
whole period Of time, from 1872 until
1902 the members of these associa-
tions, it is asserted, by various unfair
methods, forced substantially all of
their competitors out of the powder
business, until at the latter date they
controlled 90 per cent thereof.
