1
Chicago, Feb. 11.-North Dakota and
Iowa capitalists put over bank mer-
ger in Chicago, when all plans were
completed for the amalgamation of the
Oakland National and the Drexel State
banks, both located at Thirty ninth
and Cottage Grove avenues.
Robert es, who ufsSl q short Tine
ago, was president of the First Ma
tional Bank OF Fargo, N. d., is the;
moving spirit in the enterprise. Mr..
Jones and a couple Of his associates.
the Weiser brothers of Fargo and De-
corah, Iowa, have been ambitious for
some time to purchase the Chicago
bank. They tried recently to buy one
of the smaller downtown institutions.
but the negotiations came to nothing
Toward the close of 1908 they secured
control Of the Oakland National, and
at the annual meeting. early in Feb
ruary, Mr.. Jones was elected vice press
ident of that institution.
The Oakland alone was not big
enough, however, and Mr.. Jones and
his friends started out to buy up the
control of the Drexel state. This they
have done, and on Friday they VIII
put the two; banks together under
the name and charter and the building
of the Drexel state. The capital OF
the consolidated banks will be $500

LABOR IN PROTEST
Leaders Demand That immigration Be

cause Of international Agreements.

Washington, Feb. 11-At the con-
ference of the leaders Of organized
labor with Secretary Straus, Of the
department of commerce and labor,
today, criticism of the present immi-
grafton laws was made by nearly
every speaker, including President
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor; Warren s. Stone,
of the locomotive engineers, and Pres
ident Valentine, Of the molders' un-
ion. Valentine declared that condi-
tions affecting the unemployed work
men were worse now than in the panic
years OF 1873 and 1898. He said that
in Detroit LOO molders were walking
the streets, while positions were being
furnished, thru the division of infor-
nation, to molders who have just ar
rived in America. He urged restrlc-
ton on immigration.
Straus pointed out that the United
States had international obligations
as old as the country itself which could
not be abrogated, even when it might
seem temporarily advantageous to
do SO.
sIf we were to undertake that" said
the secretary, from the standpoint OF

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE question
of Knox for the cabinet in view of
the charges that he is ineligible, looks
uncertain today. A vigorous protest
is made by some Of the insurgent
seators against the effort to remove
the ineligibility by repeating the act
increasing the salary, they claiming
it is a subterfuge. Borah, LaFollette,
and Cummins and other insurgents do
not like the idea, and If the insurgents
decide to join the democrats in fight

this case the situation is difficult and
embarrassing because Of its personal

New Orleans on Time
ONE ROUND OF PLEASURE
Two Receptions, Review Of Parade and
Other Features Crowded Into One
Afternoon-Taft Party Delayed and
Now Orleans is Not Reached Until

New Orleans, Feb. 11.-Balmy spring
weather marked the opening of the first
day Of the visit of President-Elec
Taft to New Orleans. Altho Taft dozed
peacefully off to Sleep last night on
board the North Carolina at the mouth
of the river with considerable salts
faction over the completing of the
greater part of his journey home. the
transfer to the scout cruiser, Birming-
ham and the trip UP the Mississippi
river to New Orleans yet lay before
him when he awoke today.
Late last night the federal health Of
ficer at the Mississippi river PASSES
anade arrangements to expedite the trip
to New Orleans as much as was in ilis
power by going out to the North Car
oiina on tug and issuing clean bill
of health for those on board. This did
away with the necessity of the long
stop at quarantine, together with 8
lengthy inspection and the serious de-
lay in consequence.
Necessary changes in the program
and unlocked for delays made the ex-
7act time of the arrival of the BjTming
ham in New Orleans more orr less OF
uncertainty and it was not until a
wireless message was received to the
effect that the Birmingham would GER
tainly reach Chalmette, just below New
Orleans, by / o'clock this afternoon
. that the fears of the anxious c.almit
teemen were set at rest. The program
provides for reception to Taft by var
ious committees upon landing at the
wharf, followed by a parade, which will
be reviewed BY the preseident-elect
from q plathform erected at the city
hall. Later there will be public re-
ception rendered Taft at his hotel.

TRUSTS CAN COLLECT.
Purchaser Cannot Evade Payment
Unless Deal Was "conspiraey."


Washington, Feb. 11.-With view
to correcting what Is believed Ito be
a general misunderstanding Of the
scope and effect of the recent decision
of the United States supreme court in
the case of the Continental Wall Pa
per Company, against the Lewis
voight & Sons Company, the state
ment is made that the court did not
hold, as seems generally understood,
that anyone purchasing goods from
an unlawful trust can keep the goods
without paying the purchase price.
What the court did hold was that
where the contract to purchase the
goods was a part Of the illegal COM
bination in restraint of trade and was
itself one of the agreements In re-
straint Of trade, and where the per-
SON or company witch bought the
goods was party by such purchase,
to the Illegal combination, the court
would give it's aid to carry out the
forbidden contract.
IF. therefore. the buyer defended the
suit on the ground that the contract
of purchase was part OF the agree
ment in restraint Of trade and the sell
er admitted the fact, there could be no
recovery on that account.
This. 1t is stated, is not a new doc
trfne. and the distinction is clearly
made between the man who purchases
goods from an admitted illegal trust In
the ordinary way and the man who
h,1ys goods under a contract agree
noent which is itself a part of the .llle-
gal scheme in restraint Of trade.

SENATE COMES TO HIS RELIEF
Decides Knox is Eligible by Accepting
Lower Salary.

1By, Associated Press]
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
committee on judiciary today reached
the conclusion that by reducing the
salary of the office of secretary of
state to $4,000 Senator Knox will be
eligible to appointment by Taft for
that position.
The committee on judiciary met to-
day in special session to consider the
bill introduced yesterday by Senator
Hale. The measure was discussed from
the point of view that it might be re-
garded as subterfuge and a technical
violation of the constitutional provis-
ion intended to prevent the creation OF
lucrative positions for members Of con-
gress. Finally it was decided by the
committee that the main proposition of
the Hale bill. which was to repeal the
increase in salaries Of cabinet mem
bers so far as it referred to the secre-
tary of state, was sound. The phrase
ology of the bill, however, met with
criticism and it was decided to draft
a new measure, and Senator Bacon
was entrusted with it's preparation
The new bill, in accordance with the
views of the committee, uses the word
"emoluments" instead of salary" in
order to be in harmony with the Ian
guage of the constitution.

that the tendency Of the legislature to

the instance of the railroad men and
they would have no objection to 1t.
The senate committee considered the
Peterson bill after the Clarkson bill!

An interesting phase Of the Clarkson
bill has come up 1t appears that SEN

they, succeeded in turning great

"TAkE OFF SUGAR TAX"
Minnesota Wholesale Grocers Favor
Reduction of Tariff.

Reduction of Tariff.
Minneapolis, Feb 1.-THE Minnesota
Wholesale Grocers' Association favors
the reduction of the tariff on raw and
refined sugar, and is cooperating with
the committee of wholesale grocers
working from New York whose activ-
tiles before the ways and means COM
mittee in Washington has aroused
the interest of the grocery trade the
country over.
Joseph w. Bragden, of the WINSTON
Harper-Fishe Company: a former
president of the Minnesota Wholesale
Grocers' Association, says that sentl-
ment among wholesalers generally is
that there should be greater recogni-
tion of the fact that taxation OF sugar
as q luxury must one day be discon-
tinued, since sugar is no longer lux
ury, but a necessity, the tax hits the
consumer hard.
The fact that the tariff law in its
operation seems not to have recognized
this is forcibly put by F. {. Lowry
secretary of the New York committee,
who has directed the attention of the
WAYS and means committee to the tar
iff of As per cent on automobiles com
pared with practically so per cent on
sugar 1t is the argument of Mr.. Low
ry and F.. ]. Dessoir, president OF the
wholesaler committee, that as the
country uses 3,1S5.o0o tons of sugar q
year, of which 100000 tons is raised
here and 2,2S4.0O0 tons imported. the
people of the United States, to protect
the industry OF Louisiana and the In
vestment in beet sugar plants pay
annually nearly s15O,oOo,o0O. Were the
tariff taken off, the people would cut
every year s1A2,S23,000 dollars off their
grocery bills, the amount that stands
for sugar bought.
1t is asserted also that the American
Sugar Refining Company recently SOLO
sugar, for export to Europe, at two
cents pound below the domestic
price. and it is claimed that sugar re-
fined in New York and the other sea-
board markets can be bought two
cents cheaper in London than in New
York

JAP BILLS KILLED
Segregation Measure Finally Defeated
By Close Vote, Al to 81 - Governor

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 11.-Yielding
to the pressure brought to bear by

by tie vote and the assembly is now
clear of any anti-Japanese measure
objected to by the national admins
tration.
The fight for the suppression Of the
bill was won only after many hours
Of heated discussion ON the floor. The
struggle started at 10 o'clock in the
morning on q presentation Of a reso-
luton by Assemblyman j. P. Transue
of Los Angeles affirming the right of
the state to govern its schools, but
withdrawing the Japanese segregation
measure because Of the presidents OBJ

in the afternoon, when Grove L. john
sons motion further to reconsider was
defeated on tie vote Of thirty-eig
to thirty-e eight.
The school bill is still to be consid-
cred in the senate, having been pre-
sented there by Senator A. Camietti,
but there is little chance that the
measure will be approved when
brought up.
