PRICE OF LUMBER
KEPT Up BY TRUST
In View of This Opinion the De-
partment of Justice Will
Investigate.

Washington. May 23.-The depart
ment of justice is investigating the
subject of the price of lumber in the
United States with a view to determin-
ing whether or not the so-called lumber
trust may be reached by the Sherman
antitrust law on the ground that 1t Is
a combination in restraint of trade
For some time the officials nave
been looking carefully into Gnarges
that the so-called trust controlled the
price of lumber and an agent has been
at work gathering information LOT the
use OF the department . :.
Every state, county and city, II IS
said. has its lumber organization which
the officials declare they believe sets
the price of the article as well as re-
uals. The so-called combination of1l-
Gals say, is one of the most formidable
with which the department has had to
deal.
That the cost of lumber is an impor-
tant considerat ton In the high cost or
living problem is the opinion OF those
who have been looking into the sub
ject. 1t is higher than should be the
case in their opinion.
The point is made that the inquiry
now under way is in line with the
policy of the department of justice TO
investigate and prosecute com binationS
alleged to be in restraint Of trade, that
enter into the high cost of living,
without waiting for the decision of the
American Tobacco cases. That such
would be the attitude OF the govern
ment was announced by Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham just after the request
made by the supreme court for the re-
argument of those cases.

SOME INSURGENTS \
REFUSED TO SIGN
Call for Caucus on Postal Saw
ingS Bank Bill Issued
by Republicans.

Washington, May 2S.-About a dozer
Republican members of the House, all
..inSurgentS" so far as known refused
to sign the call for the party caucus
on the postal savings bank bill
The call has been issued for Wed
neSday night The petition upon which
the call is based contained the names
of about 40 Republican members.
Among the number who refused to sign
the call were Representatives Norris
and HenShaw, of Nebraska, and HaugeR
of Iowa. The call was not presented to
Representative POindeXter of Washing
whose names are familiar in opposition
to programs formed by the regular"
wing Of the party.
The insurgents base their action on
their desire not to be bound by the re-
suit of q secret caucus, as they prefer
to see the bill considered on the floor
of the House.
Chairman Weeks of the committee
on postoffices and post roads said to-
be given the freest discussion We'd
nesday night. 1t was the purpose later
to bring 1t into the House under sPe-
cial rule which would permit OF
amendment on the floor
1t was pointed out that a combina-
ton of Democrats and Republicans
might defeat an attempt to bring such
a rule into the House and Mr. weeks
admitted it was easily possible. If the
bill were thrown open TO amendment
on the floor, Mr.. Weeks expressed the
with amendments such as was done
in the case of the railroad bill. He
contended that the bill was a good one
in its present form.

THEY CURE
THE NUMBNESS
Pink Pills Have Restored to Health
Many People Who Thought They
Were Hopeless ParsIyties.

II you are suffering from a rundown
condition, either as a result OF overwork
or some weakening disease, and the crdi-
nary remedies seem TO have no effect and
your friends and advisors are recommend
ing a change OF air or climate, it is worth
while to consider trying the tonic treat
mept with DR. Williams Pink Pills be-
fore taking their advice.
Mrs. Thomas Brainard, of No. Isl
Michigan avenue, Oakland, Kansas, tells
how these pills cured her, as follows:
Gin January, 1905, following an attack
of diphtheria, was left in q very weak
condition. Ny speech was affected and
l could hardly see. I did not recover my
strength but noticed a sort OF nunbneSS
in my feet. This sensation gradually ex-
tended up the limbs to the hips. There
was dull steady pain in my limbs and L
had but little use of them. The muscles
of my shoulders would seem to jerk. Is
was impossible for me to step in the dark
or with ny eyes closed. l could not get
one foot past the other and could not
stand on my feet for fear of falling. I
lost a great deal of flesh and was very
nervous. My appetite was poor and I
kept growing more helpless and weaker.
l was confined to the lounge most of the
time and could hardly get up at all. No
one can imagine what l suffered and
how discouraged 1 was. The one year
that I was sick seemed like ten.
81 was treated by two doctors. One
pronounced my trouble locomotor ataxia;
the other creeping paralysis. Neither
doctor helped me that l could see and
they practically gave me up. 1t was
nearly year after my sickness began be-
fore decided to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. had not taken them very long
before l felt some benefit. The numb
ness began to disappear and was able to
walk. I feel certain that [ owe my HE
to a thorough trial OF this tonic treat
ment."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are recon-
mended whenever a tonic for the blood
and nerves is needed. They have cured
aneemia, chlorosis, rheumatism, stomach
trouble, and the after-efects Of the grip
and fevers. The tonic treatment with
these pills is fully described in our diet
booklet and Diseases Of the Blood,
which will be sent free upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

Comet POuts While the Moon
Is Going Into Total Eclipse

is made of green cheese-being
drawn gradually across the silvery
glow. While old residents were tell
ing of the time the sun went into to-
tai eclipse and the chickens went to
roost at noon, the shadow was creep
ing across the moon before they fin
ished the story, and tWenty-three
minutes after the eclipse started the
job was complete.
While the eclipse was in process of
completion the comet, across a vast
stretch OF star-studded sky to the
west, pouted in a dim fashion and
had a fit of artistic temperament or
peeves, or something. Anyhow, the
celestial tourist that bears Ed Hal
ley's name wasn't so brilliant as it
has been. But when the total eclipse
OF the moon became a dark and stern
reality, the comet shone more bright
ly and seemed to be pleased in the
calcium of the universe, If there is
any such thing. At any rate, the
comet, as a smaller unit from a Salt
Lake standpoint, had more brilliancy
in its makeup than the moon had
until 1888 o'clock, when the moon
began to emerge from its eclipse and
once more assume a natural appear
ance.
While it required twenty-three
minutes for the moon to become to-
tally eclipsed, it took only twenty-one
minutes for the eclipse to pass away.
The phenomena was watched with
interest, and the performance was
quite satisfactory. Press agent prom
ises were carried out much more fully
than they were when it was an
nounced that the tail of the comet
would sweep over the earth.

CASINO THEATRE.

In the new bill which opened yes
terday at the Casino, La Motto PhrOsO
lived up to it's reputation-that of be-
ing a SenSa tiOnal novelty. The perform
ances of this wonderful doll are re-
markable. AS the figure passes through
the audience its actions have a sem
blance of the human being, and yet 1t
does not seem possible that one of
flesh and blood could do the stunts
that this wonderful thing performs.
Besides La Motto Phroso. there is a
sketch team on the bill, the woman
member doing a pianologue turn that
is above the average. The picture end
of the program is exceptionally good,
notably the subject Ramona" an
adaptation of Helen Hunt Jackson's
famous novel of that title.

GRAIN MERCHANTS
FAIL FOR BIG SUM
Juggling of Warehouse Re-
ceipts Charged and Sen
Sation Promised.

Albany, n. z, May 23.-Through the
alleged manipulation of warehouse re-
ceipts, the firm of Durant & Elmore.
grain merchants, with offices in Al
bany, Chicago, Buffalo ana Boston.
has become involved in a financial
tangle, which promises sensational de-
velopments. The National Commercial
bank of Albany holds the company's
paper for 100000, the First National
bank has $77,500 and many thousands
more are said to have been obtained
from out-of-town institutions.
According to a statement by Vice
President James H Perkins OF the Ma
tional Commercial bank, the company
sis hopelessly involved"
I'VE are informed" said Mr. Perkins,
that eight or nine banks hold the
firms paper, besides grain commission
brokers with whom the firm has dealt
and a number Of individuals.
The exact condition of the firms af-
fairs is not known, but an examination
Is under way. Gibson Oliver, treas
urer of the company, had charge Of
the affairs of its Albany office, &C
cording to members of the firm, but
no statement from him as to the al
legged shortage has been forthcoming.
Edwin W. Elmore, q member of the
firm. who was summoned from Chicago,
is assisting in the examination.
The scheme by which the money Is
alleged to have been secured was a
simple one. AS soon as a carload of
grain was shipped from Chicago for
the local firm the manager received
a warehouse receipt This was In the
regular course of business. Later on
the warehouse receipts are said to
have been so manipulated as to make
possible the heavy loans from the
banks on the bills as security
The man, whose duty 1t is said to have
been to take I'D the warehouse receipts
when the grain was actually delivered
by the railroad company, 1t is alleged,
did not do so; and, hence, the genuine
bills were used again.

THAT will be regarded as the
" best eclipse of the present

the moon in the southeastern sky last
night as a counter-attraction to Hal
ley's comet, which tried to force its
freakish bri1lianCy through drop
curtain of exasperating haze that ex-
tended several pegs upward from the
western horizon.
The luminary attractions in the sky
became great rivals before the even
ing was far spent, and while the au-
diences in Salt Lake divided their at
tention between both, applause must
have been reserved for some enter
tainment nearer home.
Moon parties took the place of the
usual comet parties that have been
the rule for some time, although the
comet shared part of the attention
last night. One of the largest down.

Protection Promised.
PARDONED by REQUEST.

Washington, May 23--At the pardon
division of the department of justice
today it was said that the papers hav-
ing to do with the pardon of Oliver
Splitter, convicted in connection with
the sugar fraud custom trials in New
York, had been handled entirely by
Attorney General Wickersham, and
that no one in the division knew any
thing about the case, except instruc-
lions received by them to keep the
matter quiet when the pardon was
issued.
At the White House today it was
said there was no statement to be
made as to the pardon.
The only information obtainable at
the department of justice regarding
the Splitter pardon was contained in
the following statement made by At
torney General Wickersham:
'Oliver Splitter, a convicted dock
superintendent of the American Sugar
Refining company, was granted an I'M
conditional pardon by President Taft
a day or two ago on the recommended
tion of Henry L Stimson, special as
sistant to the attorney general, for the
purpose of qualifying him to testify
on behalf of the government in the
pending prosecution in New York
against C. R. Heike and Ernest Ger
bracht and Others"
