At meeting and a luncheon of a
number of the local real estate dealers
which was held in the special dining
room of the Topeka Commercial club
rooms at noon today the preliminary
plans for a real estate exchange were
worked out and all that now remains
to make the exchange a certainty is
enough time in which to perfect the or

After the realty men had eaten all they
wanted, the luncheon gathering was re-
solved into a business session at which
w. J. Richenbacher, one of the pro-
meters of the exchange, presided. After
all expressed themselves favorably to
the organization of an exchange a COM

104 men.

said:
THE collector has no proof. nor have
Special Assistant Attorneys General
Stlmson or Smith OF any corruption on
his part, but he was in charge of the
weighing division during the time the
extensive underweighing frauds were
perpetrated and the fact that such con-
ditions could exist in his department
warrants his separation from the SER
vice on the grounds of negligence and
ineffciency."
Collector Loeb, in making today's an
nouncements, added significantly:
THE collector is continuing his in
vestigations."
James f. Vail was formerly deputy
surveyor of the weighing division, and

out.

Sweetheart

AUBURN, Cal, Nov. 19.-In the
trial of Alma Bell this morning, the
principal witness was Mamie Armes.
She retold the stories already told by
her brothers. and further states she
saw Alma Bell write the letter to Mrs.
Armes in which Alma declared she
intended to kill Joe and herself.
She also identified the letter, which
was written on Decoration day.
She told of Alma's leaving the

outside so she could get in without Mrs.
Armes knowing about 1t.
This was the day she said she wanted
to go home because her mother was
ILL.,
The witness stood a searching cross
examination unfiinchingly and repeated
her statements that Alma Bell several
times had threatened to kill Joe Armes
if he ever went with another girl, and
Alma said she only wanted Joe for
sweetheart, not for a husband.

unlawful under that act, but if the
necessary effect of a combination is
but incidentally and indirectly to re-
strict competition, while it's chief re-
suit is to foster the trade and increase
the business of those who make and
operate it, it does not fall under the
ban of this law.
"A coal company engaged in mining
and selling it's coal is not prohibited by
the antitrust act, or by the law, from
refusing to sell its coal, from selecting
its customers, from fixing the price and
terms on which it will sell it's product,
or from selling to different persons and
OF different terms.
"a violation of a law by corpora
ton does not render it's -participat-
ing stockholders criminally liable there
fore.
"Unless there is substantial evidence
of facts which exclude every other hy-
pothesis but that of guilt, it is the duty
of the trial court to instruct the jury
to return a verdict for the accused.
"And where all the substantial evil
dence is as consistent with innocence as
with guilt, it is the duty of the appel
late court to reverse a judgment of
conviction"
In conclusion the court says:
"There was no substantial evidence of
any combination between any two of
the defendants, either to refuse to sell
coal to Sharp or to refuse to transport
it for him.
"A combination between a corpora
ton and its officer or agent. or viola
tion of the antitrust act, cannot be
formed by the thoughts or acts of the
officer or agent alone without the con-
scious participation in it of any other
officer or agent of the corporation.

more minds, is Indispensable to an un-
lawful combination"

MORE LOSSES BY DEATHS
THAN GAINS BY BIRTHS

ITHACA, N. Y, Nov. 19.-If the
present decline in the birth rate should
continue for 150 years there would be
no births at that time, according TO
Prof. Walter f. Wilcox, the statistlclan
of Cornell university.
"It is not the decrease in the birth
rate that is disturbing" said Prof.
Wilcox, "but rather the fact that de-
crease is greater among the classes
whose children would probably inherit
most social worth and capacity for
leadership. Thus figures from Har-
ward university indicate that each 100
graduates will produce in the next
generation only seventy-three sons
The native American population. that
at least in New England and New
York, loses more by deaths than 1t
gains by births"

ORDERS NEW TRIAL IN
NOTED RAILROAD CASE
rBy Associated Press. ]

O I. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 19.-Judge
- Walter H. Sanborn in the United
~ States circuit court of appeals
handed down an opinion today setting
aside the verdict and ordering a new
trial in the case of the United States
against the Union Pacific Coal COM
pany, the Union Pacific railway, the
Oregon Short Line railway, James M.
Moore and Everett Buckingham, in
which they are charged with having
violated the Sherman antitrust law
by forming an unlawful combination.
While the suit was brought in the
name of the United States, proceedings
were started by a Salt Lake City coal
dealer named Sharp, who charged the
coal company and the defendant rail-
ways with having refused to sell and
haul coal for him.
Sharp charged that the Union Pa
cifc Coal company refused u sell him
coal and that the railways refused to
haul the commodity because he adver-
tised and sold coal at a less figure than
his competitors.
judge Sanborn in his opinion, holds
that there was no substantial evidence
of any combination between any two
or the defendants, either to refuse to
sell coal to Sharp or to refuse to trans
port it for him.
The lower court found the defendants
guilty of violation of the Sherman anti
trust law and imposed a fine of $1,000
and costs on Moore and $4,000 and costs
on the other defendants.
The decision says:
1.-THE test of an unlawful combina-
ton under the act of July 2, 1890, is its
necessary effect upon free competition
in commerce among the states or with
foreign nations.
"a combination, the necessity of
which is to stife or directly and sub
stantially restrict such competition, is
