The Government Will File a Petition
 in New York Soon.

Washington. D. C.-Confirrlation of the report that a petition for the dis solution of the American Sugar Re- lining Company has been completed by government officials has been re- ceiyed here. It was learned that the present intention at the department of justice is to file the suit in New York some time this week.
 The action will be entirely inde- pendent of the criminal proceedings which have attracted such wide at tention and resulted in a number of convictions.
 While the suit is said 10 be simi- lar to the proceedings brought against the Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco Company, both of which are pending in the SUI preme court, the petition is said to be more sweeping thhn either of those and to present issues already passed upon by the supreme court.

The shoes are made for the regular price up to No. lis, but from that size up to 15s the state must pay 10 cents per pair additional to compensate the shoe dealers for the extra leather.
