MORE IMPORTANT THAN
NORTHERN SECURITIES CASE

washington, April THE prosecu-
ton of the Standard Oil company be-
gun today In the federal court at st.
Louis is regarded by the law officers
of the government as the most impor-
tant that has ever been brought under
important than was the Northern Sc
curities case, in the opinion of the off,
Gals OF the administration.
President Taft is deeply Interested
In It, because he expects that the de-
cision in 1t will indicate pretty con-
clusively what virtue there is in the
present laws for the suppression of
monopolies. The president. as a cir
cult Judge, wrote the famous decision
In the Addison Pipe Stone case, which
was the corner stone Of h whole
structure of anti-monopoly decisions
from tina day to this. The Standard
OIL case will be based by the govern
ment's lawyers In large measure on the
reasoning laid down by Mr.. Justice
Taft In that case and developed and ex-
banded in application by other courts
in numerous cases since. But at the
foundation is the Addison case, on
which Justice Taft worked for many
months. and In which he made a ruiz
ing afterward sustained, under which
a great combination was overturned.
To Supreme Court.
The government is anxious to secure
a decision as soon as possible In the
Standard oil case. 1t will go 10 the su-
preme court of the United States, no
matter which side wins in the lower
court; and every possible means will
be employed by the government to ex-
pedite II. Until a final decision shall
be reached. 1t will be difficult to lay
! down any conclusive policy for the law
department. or to make any effective
| recommendation as to legislation re-
! lating to anti. trust legislation.

getting a code of laws and a line OF
legal presidents established, Tor hand.

INSANE MAN WITH
REVOLVERS AND BOMBS

Aurora, H., April 10.--John Anderson
a plumber, became suddenly violent to-
day. Aiming himself with two pistols,
u shotgun and three bombs which he
fastened to his person by of q
harness. he started out to kill the in7
habitants of a city block in which he
said malicious gossip concerning him
self had been circulated. He killed one
woman, narrowly missed Staying her
husband, wounded another woman and
then committed suicide.
The dead:
JOHN ANDERSON, committed sui
eide.
MRS. JOHN M'VICKER, shot
through the heart as she ran toward
room where her child was playing.
The injured:
John McVicker, scalp wound.
Mrs. John Belford. flesh wounds; arm
broken from pistol bullet.
All in Terror.
Anderson's violent manner and his
insane makeup terrorized the scores
of whom he had announced his inten-
tons. That his already weakened mind
had completely given way was obvious,
Doors were locked and barred and
women and children fled to cellars as
they saw the maniac walking along
the street, scrutinizing the different
houses as If undecided where to be-
gin.
Anderson's first stop was at the home
Of Mrs. John McViclfer, probably his
Oldest and best friend. With a pistol
in each hand, Anderson began firing.
The first bullet grazed McVicker's
scalp. Mrs. McVicker hen ran toward
the kitchen where her four children
were playing. She fell dead across
the threshold with a bullet through
her heart.
Apparently satisfied. Anderson left
the place and proceeded to the home Of
John Bedford, a few doors distant.
Anderson's resentment was centered
in Bedford, whom he accused, neigh
bOrs state. without a shadow of reason,
OF circulating ~sianderous stories about
him. Mrs. Bedford and her mother,
Mrs. Amanda Minton, 80 years old, and
blind. we're alone in the house. Ander-
son opened fire on Mrs. Bedford. One
bulle inflicted a flesh wound and an.
other shattered her arm.
Then Kills Self.
BY this time the neighborhood had
become aroused, and men were gather
ing In the street. Anderson walked to

on which he had calmly placed it, and
blew his head off.

kElpING NDIR GARDEN GAY.
Plant New Varieties Of the Old-Tim'
Flowers and Mass Them Ar
tistisally

You probably have grown Just a
bit weary OF the same old garden
grind. the same old flowers from
year to year, and may have asked
yourself during the past winter,
Does II pay? No. I do not think II
would pay to go on In the same old
way. neither is it necessary, says
Samuel Armstrong Hamilton, in the
May Designer. There are those in
whose gardens there is little or no
variety from year to year, they In
herited certain garden policy from
their mothers, or. more likely, their
grandmothers, and have concluded
no doubt, that It was the Ultima
Thule Of gardening.
But, for all such, my prescription
is: Have a modern. up-to-date gar
den; new style garden; a gay gar
den; a gay" garden If you will, but
at least get out of the rut.
Get the new varieties of peonies
and phlox, For these, permanent
trenches should be dug. Excavate to
