TIME TO INVESTIGATE.

There seems TO be a mistaken i'm
preston as to the methods 10 be fol-
lowed legally FOR the suppression and
punishment of conspiracies in restraint
OF trade under the state law. As ex-
planned by the legal profession, the at
torney generals duty would involve
only such procedure as is necessary to
secure the forfeiture of the charter of
any association or combination violat-
ing the law. Criminal prosecution or
investigation OF the acts of such an as
ISOLATION would be matter for the dis
trict attorney, who would have the
power to call a special grand jury.
which could summon witnesses and find
indictments if the evidence indicated
criminal action.
If the public organizations which
have been agitating the questions of
costly living brought about by COM
binations OF tradesmen are really IN
earnest they viii urge the district at
torney TO take up an investigation and
then assist him in securing evidence
and in the prosecution. Discussion and
the publicity Il brings may help mate
rally in the formation of opinion, but
they cannot stop combinations to boost
prices above a reasonable limit, and If
the discussion ends in conversation
only the city will continue. as hereto
fore, at the mercy Of the men who have
organized ana managed the combines.
Much has been said about the retail
dealers ia groceries and meats. but they
have not been alone in their extortion.

A THOUSAND
Donated BY
The TRIBUNE

AT the annual meeting of The
Tribune Printing and Publishing
copmany, held in room of the Nc
Candless block yesterday afternoon, it
was decided to donate 81 900 to the
motor line that is projected to be
built from Florence to the coal camps
and TO Portland. This is the big
gest donation that has been given yet
by any company and very few of them
will donate nearly so much. The
manager of the company signed for
that when the soliciting committee
called at the Office today with their
subscription papers.
1t was decided that Florence need
ed little boosting and that since the
street ear system was about one OF the
best things that has been suggested
for the city, that the paper should do
its part in that matter, the same as
it has always done, and made n dona-
tion that is worth while. There
have been several knocks ma lie
against the city in the last few days
and this paper is one that is going to
try to offset the i'll effects occasioned
by those knockers.
There is no company in Fremont
county who is in more hearty accord
and IL u cool thousand dollars will
help in bringing the project to sue
ccssful culmination, the stockholders
of the company feel that they will
be we'll repaid by the future returns
from It's business. Florence needs
the electric motor line and needs II
badly and would like to see it built
and this paper will do all in its
power to have that point accomplish

Jones did not attempt to locate the
owner of the check, but endorsed
Moulton's name on the back of it,,
cashed the paper at the saloon owned
by Tony Ossola, made hit with the
money and then got out of town.
He first went to Pueblo where he
blew the money in and then fearing
that he would be arrested doubled
back and stopped over at Portland
where he was taken in tow by the
deputy sheriff. He has not been in
the town more than an hour before he
was apprehended When searched he
did not have a penny left.
As soon as the forgery was known,
the negroes of Williamsburg got action
on themse Ives, and, taking the mat
ter up with Officer Furniss soon had
the telephones wires running to the
surrounding towns hot with messages,
trying to head off the fugitive. The
only description that Chief Furniss
had was the mere fact that he was a
nergo, and that the bottom of one of
the legs of his trousers had been
burned. None Of his countrymen at
Williamsburg could say whether he
was tall, whether he wore light or
dark suit of clothes, or whether Ia
was bearded or clean shaven. There

New York, May 21-Abraham H.
Hummel, who for nearly third of a
century was one of the most widely
known and successful criminal law
yers in this city, has begun the SER
vice of one years sentence in the
Blackwell's Island penitentiary. The
sentence was imposed upon con-
viction two years ago for conspiracy
growing out of Hummel's connection
with theD odge- Morse divorce litiga-
tion. Hummel fought the conviction
through several courts, but the final
decision was adverse. He has also
been discharged from practice in the
courts

promise that lie would go involun-

crowd was gathered in front of the
Hummel residence when the little
lawyer dashed out of Il basement door
holding large handkerchief in front
of his face. He ran to the curb,
jumped into the closed automobile and
a moment later was whirled away
toward the prison.
The automobile carrying Hummel
did not go direct to the Blackwell S
island landing, and for hours after it
sped away from the house no trace
of it could be found. At 2: 10 O'Clock
this afternoon the officials at the PEN

ARRESTED AT

A FORGERY

Forging the name of J. S. Molten

Portland late yesterday afternoon by

be brought from the coal camp to

FREMONT COUNTY HAS
ANOTHER MYSTERY NOW
Jack Laton's Dead Body Found on
Rio Grande Railroad, but 1t IL
Not Known Whether he Was
Murdered or Met Death by Acct
dent or Suicide.

The body of a young man appar-
emily about 25 years of age, is lying
at the undertaking establishment of
Coroner G. H. Whitmore of Canon
City with the upper part of his head
crushed into an unrecognizable
mass in consequence of being run over
by d. and r. G.. engine near Swiss
vale in the western part of this
county shortly after O'Clock last
evening, but whether death was dt 0
to murder, suicide or accident is yet
mystery. There is short curve IN
the roadbed at the place where the
affair occurred and it was impossible
for the engineer or fireman to see the
body in time to avoid running over
it, although every effort was made to
do so. The man was dead when
those who were on the engine went
back to make an investigation, but
whether he had been murdered and
the remains placed on the track to
hide the evidence Of the crime or had
voluntarily laid down on the rails
while in drunken stupor, is un
known
The daily tribune., 1907-05-21

The body was at first taken to
Salida but was subsequently taken to
Canon AZ the instance of Division
Superintendent Rockwell in order
that an inquest might be held.
From letters on the person of the
dead man it was ascertained that his
name was Jack Cation and that he had
n sweetheart named Clara Bloom ut
iHolridge, Neb. william Ishmaei,
who had been seen with Cation, was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff W. r. AL

picion that he might have been in

of the affair and a message is expect
ed from her at any time.

BAD IN COUNTRY TOWNS.
Financial Situation More Embarrassing
Than in Cities.

State Senator Charles Buschow of
Colby, Thomas county, came to Topeka
today to talk over the political and
financial situation with some of his
friends. He has been spending a few
days at Kansas City with his children.
The financial situation in the coun-
try towns" said Mr.. Buschow, lis moro
annoying than it is in cities. In the
city you have your clearing house,
which can step in and issue certificates
which answer for temporary medium
of exchange. But in the country we
are right up against it for currency.
They have poured millions of dollars
into New York, but it doesn't come out
west. Farmers can not sell their
grain and stock under present condi-
lions. Such conditions are rather I'M
nerving, but people should not get
scared. The whole trouble is due to
somebody getting scared. If nobody
was scared there wouldn't be any
panic.''
Senator U. S. Griffin of Jefferson
county was also in Topeka today on
personal business. He said: 81 do not
think there will be special session of
the legislature, nor does it seem likely
that the Republican state committee
will call primary election for next
year. However, expect the next legis-
lature to enact a primary election law.
The financial situation is not caus-
ing much If any trouble in our town.
People are getting along first rate, ana
there is no excitement,
Mr.. Griffin stated that willie" Sell
is still working in his store at Norton
vile, and is doing well. 81 was pleased
to hear of Emmett Dalton's pardon, -
said Senator Griffin. There was no
sense in keeping Dalton in prison any
longer"
Secretary of State c. E. Denton, who
is interested in half dozen banks in
southern Kansas, returned to Topeka
yesterday after putting in several
weeks personally looking after the in
tereSts of his banks
People seem to be taking this trou-
BILE very calmly" said Mr.. Denton.
"Of course the banks haven't any great
amount of currency on hand at present,
but they are getting more. and the diff
ficulty will not be long continued. They
are pouring a great deal of money into
New York, and that is all going to do
some good" - -'Jees

tinction of being the oldest editor in
Minnesota, died here today. Mr.. Sin
clair served as editor of the Winona
Republican, which he established in
1886 for almost half a century. In
1880, he was named as delegate at large
to the National Republican convention
at Chicago. He was chosen chairman
of the Minnesota delegates and gained
national prominence by reasons of his
personal persistence in keeping the
name of William Window before the
convention, thus contributing largely to
the defeat of James G. Blaine and the
nomination of James A. Garfield. He

HOUSE TOO WISE FOR HIM.
How a Topeka Man Got Ahead of an
Erie 0othier

The following is from the Chanute
Sun:
The case of George CASTOR VS.. ]. E.
mouse, carried on an appeal from the
Justice court, was dismissed at the
plaintiffs cost in the district court this
morning under the statute of limita-
tons. The action is one which has
caused the Bar association no little
amusement
The events leading to it's institution,
as told in the Sun, are something in
this wise. When ]. E. House, better
known as Deacon House or bod Gas
ton, got his first offer of a job on the
Topeka Capital, he bought a suit on
tick of the Erie merchant. In about a
year he received a bill from his credi-
tor to which he replied that he could
not see his way clear to settle the
claim as the suit was long since worn
out and he was now much in need of
another. A second presentation of the
bill ELECTED reply from House to the
effect that the merchant did not ap-
pear to be a very good collector and
suggesting that he enlist the services
of certain well known collecting
agency. The merchant got mad and
did so, but without satisfactory results
The Deacon" thereupon wrote CASTOR
that he had observed the fruitless eff
forts of the agency and concluded it
was signal a failure as the mer-
chant himself and as further accom-
mediation he would inclose a list of
dozen we'll known collecting agencies,
with the recommendation that the ac-
count be placed with them. More
correspondence of similar nature
passed between the two none Of which
of the Erie CASTOR. Finally the latter
as a last resource sued House, but
neglected to note at the time that the
debt had been outlawed.

sH0NTss GIVES IN.
He Consents for His Daughter to
Marry the Due.

New York, Nov. 20.-The engagement
of Miss Theodore Shonts, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Shonts, to the
Due De Chaulnes, announced in several
newspapers, apparently on authority,
has long been expected. 1t has been
prematurely announced on several oc-
casions, but in each instance was de-
MED by members of the families and
with emphasis by Mr.. Shonts when he
was chairman of the Panama canal
commission He asserted he wanted
his daughters to marry Americans and
it has been stated for long time he
strenuously opposed the union to which
he has now agreed. Miss Shonts. who
was IS in March, met the Due in Lon
don, about a year ago. Since then he
has assiduous1y courted her having
made several trips to this country for
the purpose.
The Due is 80 years old. He has a
house in Paris and a hereditary castle
in one of the French provinces. I'm
questionably, his family is one of the
noblest not only in France, but in all
Europe. 1t was originally a patrician
family in Italy but settled in France
and is also one of the most ancient
families of Spain

LANTRY CRUSHER CLOSED.
Strong City Institution Shuts Down
After rs Years Operation.

Strong City, Kan, Nov. 2O-The large
stone crusher west of this city has lust
been closed down, after being operated
for about 25 years. 1t was first owned
by b. Iantry, who was well known all
over the state at one time and who
might well be called the father of
Stron" City for it was he who really
built up the town. After his death the
crusher was run by he's sons for several
years and it is now owned by the c. H
Sharp Construction company with Of
fees in Kansas City.
This crusher was known as one of the
largest if not the largest, in this coun-
try and was situated on a high hill
almost the whole top of which had been
cut off, in some places as deep perhaps
as 20 or 25 feet, and the crushed stone
was sent to all parts of the United
States and also into Mexico. The la
borers were mostly Greeks who lived in
tents on the hill, although there were
probably II or Is men living in Strong
City who will be thrown out of employ
ment by this change.
1t has been reported that the ma
chinery will be moved to Florence as
work on this hill would no longer be
profitable.
