ANTITRUST BILLS ARE HIT
OHIO SUPREME COURT KNOCKS
OUT MANY INDICTMENTS.
Charges Embody Violation Of Lave
Documents Are Held to Be
Defective.

Columbus, O., Feb. 1.-THE su-
preme court Tuesday caused sensa-
ton by knocking out all the indict-
ments against the bridge trust in
Ohio. The indictments which were
brought in Erie county and charged
violation Of the anti-trust laws, were
held to be defective by the supreme
court Tuesday in affirming the decis-
ion of the Erie county circuit court in
the Hughes and Webster cases. The
Indictments are held to be Illegal on
the grounds of duplicity and indefinite
ness in that they simply charge that
the parties were engaged in con-
spiracy in restraint of trade in March,
1903 to March, 1906, without stating
definite times of violation of the anti
trust laws and because the laws
makes each days violation separate
offense and hence the basis of a
separate indictment. The King
Bridge Company, the Massillon
Bridge Company. Bellefontaine Bridge
and Iron Company, Variety Iron
Works Company, Mt. Vernon Bridge
Company, Bracket Bridge Company
and the Canton Bridge Company were
indicted in March, 1906, in Erie coun-
ty, on charge Of engaging in trust
conspiracy from March 10, 1903 to
1906. The common pleas court over
ruled all motions to quash and de
murrers. based on duplicity and in
definiteness OF the Indictments, and
all the defendants were convicted.
Their cases were carried to the cir
cult court and later Hammond, the
Canton Bridge Company and the Mas
sillon Bridge Company withdrew their
petitions in error and paid the fines
imposed. The case was then taken
to the circuit court which reversed
the convictions in the common pleas
court and then the case was taken
to the supreme court with the final
decision Tuesday as above.

cHEsHIRE's FAMOUS CHEESE.
Weighed 1000 Pounds and Was Sent
to President Jefferson.

Boston.-The town of Cheshire.
Mass, was known to fame for GEN
erations before Dalton had become q
seat of craftsmanship. 1t was set
tied by some Of the dairy farmers Of
Cheshire, England, and for years it's
product was the most noted to the
state. il not in the country. Mr.. Dean
delights to tell the story Of the famous
Cheshire cheese which was presented
to Thomas Jefferson, and many a con-
gresham has added 1t to his store of
knowledge.
Cheshire was strongly Republican,
or anti-Federalist, in early times, and
upon the Inauguration Of Jefferson the
Cheshire farmers decided that the
product of one days milking should
be contributed by everybody, to be
made into cheese to be given to the
president.
On the day appointed all the people
gathered in their best bib and tucker,
the mysteries of cheesemaking were
exemplif1ed to their utmost, and the
result pressed into huge cake in an
immense cider press, was found to be
a mammoth cheese weighing 1000
pounds. Representative George P.
Lawrence is wont to tell friends that
when the cheese reached the vicinity
Of Baltimore it had grown SO old that
It walked the rest Of the way, but Mr..
Dean says this is not SO, and as Mr..
Dean still owns a mart of tho anno
ratus with which the historic cheese
was made his version still has the
right of way.

from which it is supposed to have
come $50 years ago, hang in lingering
affection about the neck of a bottle Of
brandy which has just been brought
to light by R.. w. Dryden, while ran
sacking the garnet of his ancestors.
The bottle was found in a box of
selected pine which had been put to-
gether with screws and deliberately
sealed.
The receptacle bore the stencil
marks on Its lid Lewis M. Cowles,
Esq, Baltimore, Md, 1857"
bottle, which holds about quart, was
found wrapped In newspapers bearing
the date OF February 6, 1864.
There was an old-fashioned label
with red border 'on it, on which it
was set forth that the contents were
"old French brandy of 1757. Pre-
scented to the Sanitary Fair by H. j.
de Pyster."
The bottle had been purchased by
relative OF Mr.. Dryden at the fair,
which was organized to raise funds
for soldiers wounded in the civil
war.
The cork was surmounted by a
cockade OF pink ribbon, and around
the neck was band Of green fringe,
which. low descending, swept the bot
ties aged breast.
Mr.. Dryden took the box to the cafe
of Emil Struever, at S76 Broadway,
where it was placed in the window for
exhibition
Several offers have been made for
the bottle, but the highest, $3.50, has
been refused, the owner declaring that
he would not think of disposing of
such an heirloom.
Brandy bearing the date of CEN
tury ago is offered on menus in this
city and London merchants quote it.
Mr.. Dryden has not yet decided
whether he will sample the brandy.

Cleveland Democrats and the Bryan


Democratic Estate Chairman Miller
recently published in the columns of
his own newspaper, the Waverly
Democrat, plea for his reelection
first published in another newspaper.
This was the plea:
cit appears certain that Bryan will
be the party nominee and if so, then
why not give good hearty recognition
to the conservative element and even
things up by giving due recognition to
the Cleveland wing of the party?"
In republishing that argument Mr..
Miller approved it, and was willing that
he should be understood for what he is,
Cleveland democrat, and claiming
recognition on that score.
Recognition, as these democrats
understand it, is control of the party
organization, and control of the states
delegation to the Denver convention.
If the party would serve it's own best
interests in putting Cleveland demo-
Gratis on the state committee and on
the Denver delegation, then it ought to
proceed to the logical limit, make Au-
gust Belmont chairman of the national
committee, and call upon "Blue Eyed
Billy" Sheean, Thomas F. Ryan, ex-
Justice Morgan j. O'Brien, Roger Sui
Ivan and Alton B. Parker to write the
platform on which Bryan should go be-
fore the people asking their votes.
No person believing in the elimina-
ton of special privilege, the destruction
of trusts, and the curbing of monopo-
listic combines would call in men who
are enjoying the fruits of these things
and expect from them unselfish counsel
as to methods of procedure against
them; and none but person Of mind
like the ostrich, which hides it's head
in the sand and thinks it's body hidden,
would expect the people to accept thei,
counsel as best for the people.
| It is corollary that if the Cleveland
democracy is put in control of the
state committee and the states delega
ton to Denver, and the national con
vention is dominated by this element
that the people will not accept the
democratic party as champion Of
their interests and to be relied upon tx
be faithful to its promises.
Real democrats who know the trick
of politics know that if many profes
sing democrats should be put in place.

Studies,

Worcester, Feb 1.-THE Holy Cross
basketball quintette will take long
trip north to-day to play Norwich uni
versity, at Mortified, vt, tonight, and
Dartmouth, at Hanover, n. H., Satur-
day. Both teams were defeated by
the Purple five In this city early in the
season, the Dartmouth game going
overtime. While win is expected
over Norwich, 1t would not be unex-
pected if the Worcester five met its
first defeat from a college team at the
hands of Dartmouth, which showed ex-
ceptional ability here, and, with the
advantage of being on its home floor
should defeat Holy Cross. The Purple
team at present looks very weak with
Casey, O'NeiI and Barry out of the
game. The first two will be given an
opportunity to make up deficiency in
scholarship before time for the trip,
and on this depends their chances Of
playing. Barry has been merely rest
ing up from bruises received in the
Dartmouth game and will be with the
team in its coming games.
The result of the mid-eXaminations
has also hit the track squad hard and
unless several members of the relay
team pass off conditions within a fort
night, Holy Cross will be very poorly
represented at the Trinity meet in
Hartford, February 81, The good work

will play Holy Cross here next fall is
