SCHIFF AND KAHN DENY
CONSPIRACY ALLEGATION
File Answers in Anti Merger
Suit, Alleging Innocence of
Criminal Agreement

SALT LAKE CITY. May 14.-Jacob
H. Schiff and Otto III. Kahn, two of
the defendants in the so called anti
merger action brought by the govern
ment under the Sherman law against
the Union Pacific railroad and others,
today filed answer in the United States
district court Ali the defendants have
now answered except the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern roads, and
from these no answer is expected.
Schin and Kahn admit many of the
facts recited in the complaint but
deny the charges of conspiracy and
combination in restraint of competition
between the Union and Southern Pa
cific or any of the other lines engaged
in competitive traffic. 1t is asserted
that all the transactions between
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. and the Union Pa
ciic or Oregon Short Line were en-
tered into by the members of the firm
as bankers.

RISE IN FLORENCE
PUZZLES BROKERS
Five Thousand Shares Change
Hands at Higher Figure
Than Day Before
0pi1ir Dividend Causes Rise
Deemed Speculative by
Wise Traders

More than 5000 shares OF Florence
changed hands on the Bush street ex-
change yesterday at prices ranging
from s3.5T7a to S3.75 as against a
small volume of business at around
$3.50 Wednesday. Brokers are unable
to explain the cause for the unusual
huctuation.
Aside from 1 $50 shares OF GoIdheld
Consolidated. which were sold at from
$50 to $3.50, and 5000 shares of Com
bination Fraction. which sold down
from 5Sc to 52c, the market for south
ern Nevada stocks was sluggish yester-
day, the volume of eastern buying
orders being light.
Tonopah of Nevada. which closed
Wednesday at $3.50, was s7.85 bid on
CALL but there were no sellers at that
figure. Extension Of the same list
sold on call at 94c and closed at csc.
MacNamara remained irm at 26c and
West End, under the impetus OF a re-
ported good strike. went to 43c.
Following the declaring of a divi-
dend by the Ophir mining company. the
latter security took a squirt on the ex-
change yesterday, which sent the stock
UP from s2.67h to $2.S7is The fact
that other Comstocks stubbornly re-
fused to move gave rise to the theory
that the trading in Ophir was purely
manipulative.

TRAINING TOMATOES.
Method by Which the Fruit Can Be
Kept from Rotting.

The best method l ever tried is to
train them to a stake. This is a safe
guard against rot, as it keeps the fruit
off the ground. 1 cut stakes from sap
lings 21s inches in diameter and five
to six feet long, choosing those with
small branches all the way up The
branches are left about four inches
long.
Stake the plants as you have time
after they are set out. When they are
one foot tall tie them to the stakes
with good, strong twine, and with
some assistance later on they will find
support and cling to the branches. Oc-
casionally, continues the writer in
Farm and Home, some will not take
hold, and you will have to tie them
higher on the stake.
This plan could not be followed in
field cultivation, but in a small family
garden it works like a charm. They
should be given continuous cultivation
all through the season if you want
plenty of fruit.

CHERRY TREE SLUG.
How 1t Can Be Easily Killed by Poison
Sprays.

The Colorado station gives this ad-
vice for treating the cherry and pear
tree slug: "The slugs feed so freely
upon the surface of the leaves that
they are very, easily killed by any of
the arsenical poisons, such as arsenate
of lead, arsenite of lime, or paris
green applied in moderate strength.
One pound of the arsenate of lead to
each 20 gallons of water, or one pound
of the paris green to 100 gallons of
water, will make a preparation of suf-
ficient strength to promptly destroy
this insect. Sometimes it is necessary
to make an application when cherries
or plums are nearly grown when it is
not advisable to cover the fruit with
an arsenical poison. In this case one
can use white hellebore in water in
the proportion of one ounce to three
gallons. If the hellebore is used, it is
little better to apply towards eve
ming. Try to distribute the spray as
evenly and thoroughly as possible to
all the leaves of the tree without using
enough to cause it to run off TO any
great extent. Where only a few trees
are to be treated, one may use air.
Stacked lime or fine road dust, throw
ing the dust very freely over the sur
face of the leaves. This remedy is not
quite so effectual as the preceding,
but can often be used with entire sat
isfaction."
