Eleven Companies Assessed Heavy
Fines for Violation of Law.
In court at Chicago Monday, Judge
Lands fined F. A. Holbrool, Of 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 conspiracy in restraint OF
trade. The defendants pleaded guilty.
Judge Lands proceeded the deliv-
ery of sentence by scathing denun-
citation of the methods adopted by
the church and school furniture trust,
declaring that the punishment fixed
by law is inadequate to fit the crime.
When / retiec: upon the methods
resorted to- said Judge Lands, i
wonder WY men engage in such
business to get money. Almost any
man, | should think, would prefer to
work in a ditch at $3.50 a day. That
is unquestionably a more dignified
method
Judge Lands said that Holbrook
acted as a sort OF clearing house for
the combine, which called itself the
Prudential Club. Holbrook apportion-
ed the contracts and by means OF
dummy bids, members of the COM
bine avoided competition.
Judge Lands said the comparative
poverty OF the smaller firms Of the
combine made it his duty not TO In
fiict the maximum punishment, as
they might be forced into bank
ruptcy.

eration," said Judge Lands, rs the

WOMAN PROTECTS HER HONOR
But Must Stand Trial for Staying
WouId.Be Libertine.

WouId.Be Libertine.
Languishing and sobbing> in her cell
in the Bibb county Jail in Macon ana
wondering whether the great state of
Georgia will condemn her to death
at the end of hangman's rope, Mrs.
Sallie Freeney sits day by day wait
ing for her trial to take place in
Dodge county.
And while she waits and wonders,
her attorneys are preparing to make
. one of the most strenuous battles for
a woman's life, ever waged in the
courts of Georgia.
On March 9, last, the crime for
which Mrs. Freeney must stand trial
before a Dodge superior court jury
was committed. At least, the state OF
Georgia says it was/ crime. Mrs.
Freeney. through her sobs and tears,
graphically tells how she dealt out
death to protect her honor. -
On the date in question, W. P. Har.
rell, one of the most prominent and
weaIthiest citizens of Dodge county,
visited Mrs. Freeney's house. The
next known was that Harrell was
dead, and Mrs. Freeney, crying and
hysterical, admitted that she fired the
fatal shot, and was arrested and lodg-
ed in Jail.
The dead man had many friends.
Mrs. Freeney was poor and her
friends were numbered among those
of her own circumstances. The kill
ing created a great sensation, and
the many friends of Harrell were In
censed. Mrs. Freeney was placed IN
jail, indicted, and later transferred
to the Bibb county Jail.
The trial promises to be bitterly
fought and sensational. The story
that this accused woman tells is one
which, if true, shows that she killed
Harrell for that reason, for which
Harry Thaw says he killed Stanford
White. Mrs. Freeney declares that
she shot to protect herself from Har'
rell
At the time of her arrest: Mrs.
Freeney, who is 81 years old, was
attractive, but the three months be-
hind prison bars, with the worry and
the thought that she may go to the
gallows has told upon her. There are
rings under her eyes and her cheeks
are marked by sickly pallor.

At 1915 o'clock. just at the conclu

large lion, fully four and one-half
feet in height and weighing fourteen

But for the quick work of one OF
the theater managers in closing the
door leading into the main auditorium,
the wild beast would have walked
out into the pit and created a panic
amcag the large audience. Instead
he was forced through a rear door
into the street.
When the animal reached the side

man drew his revolver and attempted
to shoot, but Lafayette, the owner
of the shows, who was following IN
hot pursuit, jumped in between the po
liceman and the lion, thus prevent
ing the policeman from shooting the
beast.

cartridges, and by shooting them at
the lion, succeeded in guiding him,
and preventing him from doing great
damage.

for the horse, biting a large piece
of flesh from his front fore leg.
When the beast entered the drug
store, he went at once behind the
counter, and was in complete control
of the store, for the clerks had climb
ed upon the showcases, and one had
gotten up on top of the soda fountain.
Considerable damage was done IN
the store by the breaking of the glass
covering the showcases. Once he had
been auartered in the store, the doors
were quickly closed, and his capture

Government Witnesses Tell
Of Brownsville Affair.
THEIR EVIDENCE DIRECT
Negro Soldiers Were Seen With Guns
and Were Seen in Act of Shoot
ina-Foraker Fails to Shake
Testimony.

The examination OF witnesses on be-
half of the government began Wednes-
day in the Brownsville investigation
before the senate committee on mill
tary affairs at Washington.
George W. Kendall of Brownsville,
Texas, the first witness, testified that
on the night of August l3, when the
affray occurred in Brownsville, he saw
men whom he declared to be negro
soldiers, climb over the brick wall
from Fort Brown and enter the town.
Ee said that he also saw a group oil
from three TO FIVE men inside the
garrison gate and saw the flash of
two or three shots fired by men in
this group.
At Thursdays session two other
witnesses testified that they saw ne
gro soldiers shoot up the Texas town
on the night Of August 13.
One of these witnesses was Lieu
tenant Dominguez, of the Brownsville
police, who received bullet through
the arm, and had his horse shot from
under him while trying TO warn cltl-
zens of the approach OF the armed
men. whom he declared positively to
be negro soldiers from the garrison,
and another was Policeman Padron,
who described a busy quarter Of an
tive that the men doing the shooting
hour .dodging bullets. He also was pos
we're negro soldiers.
DR.. Charles H. Thorn, a dentist, tes-
titled that he heard group of men
firing at the rear of his mousse and
shouting commands to each other. He
gave as his judgment that the voices
were those of negroes. F. A. H. San
born, manager of the Western Union
Telegraph company, who occupied a
room opposite the garrison, testified
to seeing the negro soldiers enter the
post at about the time the firing
ceased. \
Policeman Senaro Padron testified
that he was at the corner of Washing
ton and Fourteenth streets shortly be-
fore midnight and that he saw SOL
diers in the alley half block away,
and that they were shooting. He said
he could distinguish their uniforms
when the guns flashed. He told of the
meeting with the lieutenant OF police,
but contradicted the statement OF
Dominguez that he had said the men
had Just finished shooting up the
Cowan house.
According to Padron's story he &C.
conlpanied Dominguez back to Thlr-
teenth street and part of the way to
an alley. near the Miller hotel. He
said he went no further because Dom
inguez wouldspot heed his warning
! not to cross the alley. He told OF
seeing negro soldiers rush out and
fire at Dominguez and follow him
some distance down Fourteenth street.
He did not see Dominguez when his
horse was shot from under him, as
the men saw him (Padron) and started
firing at him. Padron told of the run
ming from place to place to escape
danger and finally Of taking refuge
in an obscure doorway.
The witness was cross-examined by
Senator Foraker at some length with
out affecting his story. Dominguez
also was cross-examined by Senator
Foraker, but his story was not chang
ed in the least.
