The beef trust is merciless. 1t
fixes the price it will pay the man
who raises cattle, and the price the
consumer must pay for beef, and the
difference is robber profit. There
is no competition in the beef bust
ness. At one time there was an at
tack upon this trust, but the repub-
lican "trust-busters fixed up an i'm
munity bath for these Indicators of
great wealth. and the beef trust has
continued to do business at its old
stand and in its own way.

The other trusts have reason to
feel jealous on account of the Sc
lection, by the republican national
committee, of Coleman Du Pont, pres
ident, of the Powder Trust, as chair
man of the republican speakers bu-
reau. The fact that the government
is at the present time prosecuting a
suit against Mr.. Du Points trust, and
MIR. Du Pont personally for law break
ing, seemed to help rather than him
der his political preferment.
Du Pont has long been known as
one of the "malefactors of great
wealth" and as head of the republi-
can speaking campaign he will doubt,
less see to it that his orators deal
gently with the trusts.

Gently Turned States
Evidence

c. F. Puckett's strenuous efforts be-
fore Judge w. P James yesterday to
avoid a sentence to states prison for
violating his parole proved of no avail.
Aided by his wife, he endeavored to
show he had not stolen a bicycle be-
longing to L. T. Johnson from the side
walk at Fifth street and Broadway
May 6.
Evidence to show that Pickett did
steal the bicycle was overwhelming
and the young man was sentenced to
the state penitentiary at Folsom for
one year. Several months ago Pickett
turned states evidence against a man
named Bowers, who had been his part
ner in the robbing of the home of c. C.
Maxon. Bowers was given ten years in
San Quentin.
When the Judge refused to consider
the plea of the prisoner yesterday and
ordered him to stand up for sentence,
Deputy District Attorney John North
suggested that Bowers presence in San
Quentin might make it extremely I'M
comfortable for Pickett. The judge
therefore sentenced him to Folsom.

bration of May 80

Every effort is being made by the
veterans of the Civil and Spanish
American wars to put a stop to the
desecrat ton of Memorial day, May 80,
which has been growing apace for
many years.
At first when the horrors of war
We're better understood and there were
few homes that had not lost a member
or a friend in the deadly strife of 1861
65, there was a holy reverence for the
day as one of honor to the nations
honored dead. Gradually that feeling
has given way until now the day is
looked on by most persons as holiday
with no sacred character.
Today, instead of the general attend
ance on the solemn services in menu
DRY of the dead heroes of this country,
the majority of people pass the day in
attending prize fights. sporting events
of various kinds, picnics or other fes-
tive enjoyments.
1t is in an effort to prevent this and
to preserve the meaning of the day as
it was originally intended that the
Grand Army of the Republic, the
United Spanish war veterans, the
Army of the Philippines. the Sons of
Veterans, the ladies of the Grand

er at East Livermore. The process
was. first to construct wooden castings
| or forms" then to pass the iron rods
| through both walls Of these castings
ana iasten them with nuts on the out
! side OF each wall. then fill the castings
WITH the concrete, and lastly remove
the wooden castings, leaving the con-
crete, the ends of the iron rods being
cut Off down to the hardened concrete.
ihese caslngs were constructed in
tiers and sections, new tiers and sec
tlons being constructed as earlier ones
We're filed and removed. The putting
IN place and fastening the iron rods
was a part of the work of constructive.
the casing and was done bv the car
renters.
The plaintiff, a carpenter in the en-
p!oy of the defendant, was at work
With other carpenters constructing a
section OF casing in the fourth tier
from the bottom. After the walls of
this section had been finished, the
plaintiff was still at work inside when
he was injured by one of the iron rods
pushed In from the outside striking his
eye THIS iron nod was being pushed in
py another workman as part of the
work OF constructing the casing The
plaintiff had been at work for about
two weeks in this work of constructing
castings.
So far, evidently no cause of action
appears. Even if the plaintiff did not
assume the risk of rods being pushed
through the casing by other workmen
and II it was negligence to push a rod
through without giving warning it was
the negligence of 4 fellow servant, for
which the defendants We're not respon-
sible.
The PLAINTIFF however, testified that
the superintendent of that part of the
work. upon being appraised that the
walls of this section were finished, di-
rected the plaintiff and another work
man. Fields by name to remain and
bore the necessary holes and insert the
rods, and directed all the other work
men to leave that casing and go to
work on another at some distance
away; that after boring the holes, the
plaintiff took the iron rods inside the
casing iii order to put them through
the walls from the inside; that after
one rod had thus been put through,
Fields went outside to put the washer
and nuts on the ends: that Fields
called to him for another washer. and
as he bent or stopped Gown to pick a
washer up from the bottom, the rod
pushed in from outside struck his eye.
1t was the defendants contention,
however. that the plaintiff and Fields
were not left to put the rods in place
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-12-23

but that the plaintiff was left to clear
the debris from out the inside of the
casing, and to guide the rods from one
wall OF the casing to the other as they
were inserted from the outside. This
contention was supported by the tes-
timony of much the greater number
OF witnesses. Fields was not called by
either side. The defendant further con-
tended that the plaintiff received his
injury through carelessly placing his
eye close to the hole to see if the rod
was coming through from the outside
The two physicians who attended the
plaintiff after his injury and who ap-
pear to be reputable, intelligent ana
entirely disinterested. testified that tia
plaintiff told them that the rod did not
come through as fast as he expected
and that he put his eve down at the
hole to sec what the trouble was, when
the ROD came suddenly through and hit
his eye. They further testified without
contradiction that the end of the rod
must nave struck square on the eye
directly in front, that there was no
abrasion of the skin or other injury
anywhere else about the eye, face or
head. This latter evidence being un-
contradicted, must be regarded as es-
tahlishing 50 much as the fact The
necessary inference from this fact thus
established is that the plaintiff must
have had his eye at the hole looking
through Or into it when the rod struck
his eye. If lie We're merely bending
down to pick up a washer from the
bottom of the casing he would not have
received the end Of the rod square on
the eye directly in front and have re-
celved no other injury to the eye, face
or head. This fact added to the other
evidence for the defendant so heavily
weighs against the plaintiff that the
verdict in his favor cannot be sus-
tanned Putting his eye close to the hole
to see if the rod was coming through
was at the least, contributory negli-
gence on the part of the plaintiff
Motion sustained.
