TRUST CONVICTED
ON CONSPIRACY CHARGE

New York, Dec. 16.-The American
Ice company, n of the greatest cor
porations which lives by dealing i'm the
necessities of life, was found guilty yes
terday in the supreme court Of restrict
ing competition in and attempting to
Great a monopoly of the sale Of ice.
The jury was out one hour and forty
minutes. and when the foreman an
nounced the verdict the court imme-
diately imposed the maximum sentence
of $4,000 fine. under the provision of
the %so-called Donnelly a~nti-monopoly
law of this state.
The conviction is the first under the
new law and will probably be fought to
the highest court in the state.
The significance of the verdict lies
not so emuch in the relatively trivial
amount of the fine imposed as in the in
timation made by John B. S%tanchfeld,
of counsel for the defense, tina a find
ing against the company, which he said
supplies 100000 customers, will mark
the first step in its ultimate dissolu-

I've all moneys due, and to punish
the persons involved in the sugar
frauds at New York, are to be vigor-
ously pushed, according to Attorney

OF the government. He asks for a spe-
cial appropriation of $4,000 SO that
the prosecutions may effectively pro-

An important announcement is that
questions not determined by the SUI
preme court in what are, known as the
Commodities clause cases" arising I'M

merce, are to be presented hereafter
for judicial determination.

,ditions which arise in the endeavor to
procure testimony for the government.

LURT0N is N
TO FILL VACANCY
IN HIGHEST COURT

Washington. Dec. 15.-President Taft
today nominated and sent TO the Senate
the name of Judge Horace H. Lurton,
Of Tennessee. now a federal circuit
judge, and a democrat in politics, to
succeed the late Rufus w. Peckham on
the supreme bench of the United States.
The name of George A. Carpenter, a
state circuit judge in Chicago, was at
the same time sent to the Senate for
district judge of the northern Illinois
district. to succeed the late Judge
Bethea,
The appointment of Judge Lurton was
made despite a request to the con-
trary of the republican members of the
Senate judiciary committee, to which
the nomination will be referred. These
rected Senator Clark, Of Wyoming,
chairman of h committee, to ask the
president to name some mar other than
Judge Lurton. The reason assigned
was Judge Lurton's age. He Is nearly
66. The senator's did not say that they
would oppose the confirmation of Judge
Lurton, but they felt that the president
should know their views before making
the appointment.
Union Labor Against Lurton.
Some weeks ago Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federation
Of Labor, lodged With President Taft
a protest against Judge Lurton's APP
pointment. Mr.. Gompers based his pro-
test upon the allegation that Lurton,
In his decisions on the circuit bench,
had been uniformly friendly to the rail-
roads and hostile to w%orkingmen, par
ticularly in personal injury suits against
the roads. 1t has also been pointed out
h a he was the first judge 20 decide
that the employers liability act was
unconstitutional.
Stories have been sent out from
Washington that Mr.. Taft once sought
to induce President Roosevelt to APP
EOlnt Judge Lurton to the supreme
bench. and that Mr.. Roosevelt. after
investigation, declined to make the APP
pointnnent. Mr.. Roosevelt learned
it is said. that Judge Lurton was in the
habit of accepting free passes and pri-
waite cars from railroads which had lit
tgation in his court, and that he was
suspected of being particularly friend
ly to the Louisville & Nashville rail-
road.
When President Taft was on the cir
cult bench he and Judge Lurton were
IN the same circuit. Their friendship
dates from that time.
1t is understood also that Mr.. Com
pers. at the request of organized labor
in Chicago. made a protest against the
appointment of Judge Carpenter. 1t
is said that while serving on the state
bench Judge Carpenter has shown
marked hostility to labor unions.
Judge Lurton's Career.
Horace H. Lurton was born in New
port, KY. February 26. 1874. and is
therefore nearly sc years old. He is a
graduate of Cumberland University of
Tennessee, and was admitted to the
bar in 1857. He was married the same
year.
Judge Lurton was made chancellor
of the Sixth division of Tennessee in
1875. n served upon the supreme
bench of that state from 1856 to 1898.
He was appointed to the federal cir
cult bench by President Cleveland on
March %, 1893. He holds the position
of professor Of constitutional law and
dean Of the Law department of the Uni
versity of Tennessee. His home is at
Nashville.

Chicago. Dec. 15.-An extensive
storm. covering all the districts east of
the Rocky mountains. conferred today
in the Ohio valley and hampered the
transmission of messages by the tele-
graph companies.
The greatest part of the damage was
in the eastern districts, where sleet,
freezing as it struck the wires, put
many lines out of commission. East of
Pittsburg communication was contin-
ued with difficulty M the telegraph
service was almost completely pros
tratcd.
In spite of the storm centering over
Indiana and Ohio. the Great Lakes re-
gion was comparatively little disturbed,
the precipitation being principally snow
instead of freeing sleet.
