Has Suit for Thirty Million DOL
lars Against American
Company.
SAYS TRUST STOPPED PLANT
Action Grows Out of Failure of
Adolph Sesal, Who Went Bankrupt
Last Year--suit Brought Under An
thrust Law.

NEW YORK. March s.--A suit ask.
ing $10,0nG,000 actual and $4,000, ,000
tentative damages was commenced to-

president; John C. Parsons, the cor
poration'c general counsel and Gus
tav E. Kissel, Walter D. Robinson,
George d. Trigg, and Morris J. Wer-
ner.
The action grows out of the failure
of Adolph Segal in Philadelphia, whose
bankruptcy involving millions of dol
lars, was one of the financial sensations
of last year, coupled as it was with the
death of bank president Frank s. Hip
pie of Philadelphia.
The complaint alleges that the de-
fendants, in violation of the American
antitrust act, conspired to prevent the
plaintiff corporation from engaging in
the refining of sugar, and actually did
succeed in preventing it from opera
ting it's plant. Because Of this it is
claimed. the plaintiff suffered an actual
monetary loss of $40 100000 The Fed
eral statutes permit tine plaintiff to
sue for treble damages.

ment made in the trial that members
of the Thaw family have been in in
sane aylums and that there was a
streak of insanity in the family. Mrs.
Thaw 1T was stated felt that a great
family, hence her desire to publicly
deny them,
With this subject in mind Mrs. Will
liam Thaw sent for lawyer Clifford w.
Hartridge yesterday and had con-
ference with him lasting nearly three
hours during which she told him that
she could not tell her story on the
stand, she would communicate her
side of it to the newspapers.
Mr.. Hartridge, however, is believed
to have persuaded her to postpone
the explanation at this time. Mr..
Hartridge, when he left the confer
ence at the Lorraine, denied that
Thaw's mother was displeased because
she had not been allowed to explain
and that she was satisfied with every
thing when the lawyers had explained
the underlying reasons for the matter
in which her testimony had been re-
stricted.
District Attorney Jerome Is still re-
ceiving many threatening letters
which abuse him for prosecuting
Thaw. Some of the writer's threaten
that If Thaw is convicted to blow Mr..
Jerome into atoms, to boil him In oil,
to shoot him and to DO other cruel
things.

American Federation Of Labor Does
Not Sympathize With Strike Which
Was Started BY the industrial Work

PORTLAND, March S.--Another
large saw mill and box factory was
shut down today making FIVE saw mills
and three box and lumber mills tied
up by the strike of sawmlll hands In
this city. In several other mills
portion of the employees walked out to-
day and more are expected to go out
tomorrow. Because of the fact that
the present strike is being conducted
by the Industrial Workers of the
World it is said that there is little pos
sibility of sympathetic strikes because
the American Federation of Labor, the
dominant labor federation In Portland
is not in sympathy with the present

New Arrangement for Providing
Wood for Settlers.
AIDS THEM; HELPS RESERVES
HOW THE GOVERNMENT HELPS
THE SETTLER TO GET WHAT
WOOD HE NEEDS FOR FUEL
AND PRELIMINARY BUILDING.

WASHINGTON, Mar. S.--The Gov.
ornment during the past year has
furnished $4,000 worth of timber to
settlers ana ranehers In or near the re-
serves. without charge. One Of the
regulations OF the Forest Service pro-
v!des that legitimate applicants may
secure wnl' timber they need by what
is conveniently called the free use''
privilege. Fifteen thousand permittees
ia this way obtained timber to supply
;.ielr wants.
E"pm tnese figures 1t may readily be
seen that the settlers are securing very
material assistance without cost from
the forest reserves. AT the same time,
the free-usc business has been so ham
died that the material ,aken out has i'm
proved the condition OF the forest.
Dead timber which would otherwise
have rotted or helped to spread forest
fires has been removed first of all.
Who're 1t was necessary for the set
tiers to nave green wood for their

diseased, or from some other cause no

growth. In this way the ranchers Sc
cured material which they desired,
and at the same time the forest was
left stocked with the tnriftiest trees,
whose chance to develop will be un-
hin;lered.
The greatest amount Of free use
was on those reserves which lie in
the semi ovid parts of the West, where
there ls least timber. On number Of

$4,000, and on the Wenana Reserve In

LONDON, March S.-The Daily Mail

with the Sultan of Turkey. The mon
arch on being congratulated on his ap-

He expressed wish for the contin-

between Great Britain and Turkey.
He referred to the case of Fehim Pa

was wild at the behest of the German
ambassador, saying that he felt there
had been an infringement that his per-
sonal dignity, inasmuch as it had been
pressed upon him personally, although
it was a matter entirely of Turkeys

gard as monstrous the idea that he

clared that he would see justice done

NEW YORK, March S.-When court
opens this morning for the further
hearing of the Thaw case, the de-
fense. In accordance with the iecis-
ion reached late yesterday will an
nounce that 1t has rested and all the
evidence to save Harry X. Thaw from
the electric chair Is in the hands of
the jury except what may be given in
sur-rebuttal District Attorney Jerome
as we'll as most of the persons who
have followed the trial closely was
surprised at this sudden determina-
ton of the defense to end its case, and
as the District Attorney is not quite
ready to go on with his rebuttal it is
likely he will ask Justice Fitzgerald
to postpone the trial until Monday.
Whether the defense will oppose an
adjournment remains to be seen, but
as that side is in a good tactical po-
sition it was believed that the motion
to adjourn the trial will be fought.
Mr.. Delmas, chief of counsel for
Thaw, Is ascribed for this unexpec-
ted move in the trial which has fur
nished so many sensations. Personal
ly he was impressed with the testi-
mony given by Mrs. William Thaw on
the stand Wednesday and in thinking
of his future plans that nignt, there
flashed intoh is mind that with this
picture Of the gref stricken
mother on the witness stand
fresh in the minds of the jurors itI
was good place to close the case for
the defense. He knew the jury men
had had surfeit of expert testimony
and as that was about all he had to
offer, he deemed 1t wise that is should
be eliminated.
Thaw and his relatives are said to
be satisfied with the decision Of coun-
sci and with the prospects of the pris-
oner, judging from the case thus far
presented.
Mrs. William Tnaw, mother of the
prisoner, was reported to be dissatis-
fed on one point. This was the fact
that she was not allowed on Wednes-
day to testify on the question Of he
reditary insanity In the Thaw family.
She wished to explain the state

value as a protective covering, An
other distinct advantage of the system
is that settler, when he has secured
his permit, Is sure Of poing able to get
the material from the locality assign
ed to him without interference from
other people.
Very little change In the handling Of
the sree.u business is contemplated

the past year has shcwn, however, that
me'hods can he systematized so as
to give yet better Service to the peo-
pic and lie more economical to the

THIS branch Of the work Of the For
est Service gives good evidence of the
fact that the aim in the administra-
tion Of the forest reserves Is to aid In
the permanent development of the
country and place only such restric-
tions on the "ntt.ng OF timber as are
necessary for the maintenance Of n
permanent timber supply and the con-
servation of water needed for irriga-
ton for cities, and for the generation
of power.
The free-use privilege mas been
granted freely to ranchers, who are
building up homes, and enough timber
will be reserved to supply their wants
even II this will considerably reduce
amount of timber that, can be sold.

PLEASED WITH BROWNS
VILE.

Particular attention is directed
to the letter printed in another col
unn under the caption Beyond
His Dreams of Eden" The writer
Of the letter is native of Kentucky
who came to Brownsville about a
month ago to verify the statements
made in real estate circulars and
other literature which had been
placed in his hands. To his sur
prise he found that the literature
did not. exaggerate the attractions
offered by the Brownsville country,
and it must be said about Mr..
Wild's letter that he makes some
very conservative estimates of the
amount Of money to be made here.
At the meeting of the South Tex
as Gardeners held in Brownsville
last week at the Government Gar
den, one grower of celery giving
his experience showed that the net
returns from one acre were over a
thousand dollars. Other growers of
truck gave returns that make Mr..
Wild's estimate look exceedingly
modest. There is no doubt about
the earnestness of Mr.. Wild's
words, be will be a welcome addi-
ton to the city and we believe he
will share in Its prosperity.

Emilio Marks was arrested by

and charged with looting the barn
at the Riverside hotel which is
occupied by Or. Taylor.
Early yesterday morning DR..
Taylor had occasion TO go into the
BARN and found that a large num-
Der of kitchen utensils which were
stored there had disappeared. The
doctor was surprised at the dis
appearance of the goods and at
once notified the chief. From the
information given by the doctor,
Chief Connors placed Guadalupe
Ramirez under arrest. Lupe"
was put in the sweat box and con-
fessed that he had taken the things
for Emilio Marks, former cook
for DR.. Taylor, who had paid him
for his services. Some of the
things were found at Marks house,
and by clever piece of detective
work the missing pieces were
located in various houses IL diff
ferent parts of the city. Marks
was then arrested and on be being
taken to the houses where the
missing plumber was found, he was
as the man who had sold
the articles.
Ramirez and Marks were bound
ove1 this morning to appear before
the next term of the County
Court.
Among the articles stolen were
an ice cream freezer, frying pans, |
copper cooking utensils. FIRE
shovels and a number of mis-
cellaueous things stored in the
barn to keep them out of the way.
The police deserve credit for the
smart work done in ferreting out |
the thieves and recovering the
plumber so quickly.
