ANTITRUST MEASURES.
One to Prohibit Federal Courts Inter
ference With State Laws

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. August ga plan
to secure the enactment of a measure by
Congress prohibiting federal courts from
issuing lnjunctions stopping the enforce
ment of state laws without a hearing.
upon ex-parte statements, will be proposed
by Attorney General w +. Kirby of
Arkansas at the conference of attorneys
general to be held in St Louis in October
to discuss antitrust measures. Eleven
states of the south and west will be repre-
sented
Another measure which Attorney General
Kirby will propose. looking to the suppress
sion of trusts. is the enactment by state
legislatures of a law prohibiting "A trust
from operating in the state concerned. Mr.
Kirby declares that when a half dozen or
more states pass laws forbidding trusts to
do business in such states the monopolies
thus affected will abrogate trust agree
ments. This. Mr. Kirby thinks, is the
quickest and most practical way to solve
the trust question.
Mr.. Kirby Is still under forty. has
back of him United States Senators James
Z. Clarke and JEFF Davis, and Will be the
next governor of Arkansas unless all polt-
ical precedents in the state are overturned
and it's traditions reversed.
The recent injunction suspending the
Arkansas law relating to railroad regula-
ton by United States Circuit Judge Van
deventer of st. Paul is the immediate
cause of Kirby's proposed campaign
against federal interference with state
laws.

Sunday morning charged with masquerad-
ing in mems clothing. She was fined 50
by Magistrate Cornell and. not having the
money, was sent to cell.
Patrolman Suits of the Church street sta
ton was approached by the woman at Dey

introduced herself by saying that she, was
detective from headquarters and that she
had been at work on the penburg case.
which recently engrossed the attention of
the Ellis Island officials. Her talk and
manner convinced the policeman that
something wrong. Suits made the
woman a prisoner and took her to the
night court.
When before Magistrate Cornell she still
wore striped trousers a soft shirt. derby
hat black coat and eye glasses.
Magistrate Cornell, before imposing
fine, lectured the woman for what he
termed her SILLY antics"
Her reply was. IF you were in my place
you would do as 1 am doing"
To a reporter who saw the woman While
she was going to CELL she said that her
real reason for wearing masculine cloth
ing was that she had lost her hair as the
result Of illness and that when she wore
women's clothes people laughed at her.
Consequently she decided to put on trous-
srs, pose as a man and SO escape ridicule.

INDIANAPOLIS. August 23.-The good
Methodists hereabouts are all stirred up
over the contest which is being waged
against sending Vice President Fairbanks
as a delegate to the auadrennial conference
Of the Methodist Church at Baltimore. Mr..
Fairbanks prominence in the nation and
his standing in the church seemed to be
sufficient warrant for his selection to rep
resent once more his brethren in the most
important church gathering. and up to
short time ago no one questioned the appro-
priateness of naming him delegate.

Farmers Waking Up.

There has perhaps been a greater
change wrought in the conditions of
rlral life IN the last few years than in
what is called business circles. When
corn was ten cents bushel, wheat for
Sty cents and hogs two cents a pound
there was nothing but grinding poverty
on the farms. There was no possibility
of that happy commingling through SO
2cial organizations that tends toward
softening the hard features Of existence,
especially on farms some mnes from a
railroad station.
Frequent reports have been appear.
ing In tho papers for some time of the
organization of distinctively rural socie-
ties, where the farmers, their wives and
the girls and boys assemble to discuss
var lous subjects of interest to them.
Some Of them are called good roaGs
societies, some are distinctively literary
or debating, some civic leagues, some
good government clubs and SO on. All
this shows that the country is feeling
the stimulus OF the better and happier
times and indicates that the farm will
not be SO frequently deserted for the
city as In the past.
