DECLARED TO Be IN
RESTRAINT OF TRADE
Fiber and Manila Association
Permanently Enjoined.

New York, May liza permanent
injunction restraining from operation
the Fiber and Manila association, un-
der which name it was charged that
twenty-five paper manufacturing con-
Germs had formed a combine in re.
straint of trade, was ordered by JUS
tice Hough in a decree handed down
in the United States circuit court in
this city. The companies composing
this association were fined $4,000 each
in June, 1903, for membership in the
combination which is now ordered to
be enjoined.
1t was charged that the combine
was organized in September, 1906, and
that John H. Parks was manager of
it. Following the organization it was
alleged that the production of paper
was reduced and the price advanced.
Judge Hough's decision granting the
injunction declared that the Fiber and
Manila association is an unlawful
combination in restraint of trade and
commerce and an attempt to monopo-
lie contrary to the provision of the
Sherman ANTITRUST act. The hearing
of the cases took place on April 16 of
this year.

Peter c.. Hams, Jr., on trial for the
killing of. William E. Annis, occupied
about four hours in his closing plea to

Captain Hams hand when he took
the life of the man who ruined his
home. The meeting between Annis
and the defendant was accidental;

from his chair and mother and son
embraced until she was led away by

four children were drowned In the
swollen waters of the Chippewa river
here when Halls gasoline launch,
which they were trying out for the
first time, capsized in midstream upon
striking some sunken piling. None of
the party was able to swim.
Nobody saw the launch capsize. It
was just turning dusk when William

the river, heard frantic cries for help
from mtdstream and, upon looking up,
saw Sweet and Hall clinging desper-
ately to the overturned boat and cry
ing for help, while the swift current
was carrying them rapidly down the
stream. Some time elapsed before
Mclaughlin secured boat and when
he reached the place where he last
saw the launch nothing was seen of
the men or boat.

Jefferson City. - Under a sus-
pension Of rules, the senate passed
Senator McDavid's bill providing
for the appointment by the gov
ernor Of a revision commission of six
lawyers to aid the general assembly
in revising the statutes. This is the
method pointed out by Attorney Gen

the state is enabled to pay these at

n year.
The bill provides the lawyers to be
appointed must be equally divided be-
tween the political parties.
This is the plan originally outlined
and adopted at the suggestion of the

Two Reports Sure.
House Takes LONG Rest.

Jefferson City.-The stormy scenes
in the house Friday were followed by
a calm Saturday, sessions being de-
voted to engrossment of bills many of
which were advanced from calendar.
In order to afford the warning factions
time to further soothe their turbu-
lent tempers an adjournment was
taken in the afternoon until 2:30 p. m.
Monday.
The afternoon session witnessed the
engrossment, with the aid of Repub-
lican votes, of a joint and concurrent
resolution authorizing a constitution
al amendment for an income tax, to
be voted on at the general election in
1910.
Under the resolution the tax may
not exceed 2 per cent on all gross in
comes of $4,000 or more, exclusive OF
pensions and official salaries. The
money derived from the tax will re-
vert t otte general revenue fund.
Two banking bills we're among the
many measures sent to engrossment.
One, fathered by Mr.. Crossley, alb
solves any bank or trust company
from liability for a forged or raised
check or voucher, unless the depositor
to whom the check is returned noti-
fies the bank within six months the
check so paid is forged or raised.
The other banking act provides a
fine not to exceed $500 or a maximum
Jail sentence of one year for anyone
who overdraws a bank account with
intent to defraud.

SNOW TIES UP TRAFFIC
DENVER SUBURBAN LINES ARE
OUT OF COMMISSION.
Six Thousand Telephone Wires, Tele-

System Rendered Useless.

Denver, Colo.-Eight inches Of wet,
clinging snow, following several hours
of steady rain, did damage in the
city of Denver Tuesday night
estimated at from 5000, 900 to $780,
900 and cut off all communication with
the outside world so completely that
up to a late hour Wednesday evening
it had not been restored. Every wire OF
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies, every toll line of
the telephone company, was carried
down by the heavy snow, along with
hundreds of poles, the city's fire
alarm system was almost destroyed,
six thousand telephone wires in the
city were rendered useless and
hundreds of trees in the parks and
along the b%oulevards were badly
damaged. For several hours Wednes-
day morning street car service was
at a standstill and thousand of people
plodded to work through the slush.
Suburban electric lines were put out
of commission, and trains on all rail-
roads were many hours late, as the
train dis~patchers were helpless.
In the vicinity of Seventh and
Laramie streets poles are down for
a distance of a mile, and the great
mass of telephone, telegraph and
electric wires in falling carried with
them part Of the Laramie street
viaduct and completely blockaded
railroad and street car traffic. Many
small fires were caused by broken
and crossed wires.
