THE INDIANS WE'RE FOOLED.
Deceived Into Believing a Favorite
General Had Been Arrested.

Mexico City.-Specials received
here from Valladolid Yucatan, con-
tanning the latest details of the re-
cent Indian uprising in the peninsu-
la estimate the total number of dead
at seventy-two, Of which twelve were
federal soldiers. Sixty soldiers and
more than $50 Indians were wound
ed before the troops took the town.
The losses to merchants whose places
were sacked is estimated at from
100000 to 100000.
Prisoners to the number of LOT
are held by the military authorities
and special military courts to try
them are being instituted. A num-
Der of the ringleaders were captured,
but Bonilla, the self-constituted
treasurer of the insurrectionists, who
fled with the bulk of the funds Sc
cured by forced contributions, has so
far eluded pursuit. 1t has developed
that in order to deceive the Indians
into revolt the leaders of the attack
upon Valladolid the night of Sat
urday, June 4, circulated the rumor
that Gen. Canton had been taken
prisoner and that they had deter
mined to set him free.

DUKE C BOWERS"
Mr.. Bowers is also issuing a PAM
phlet exposing the alleged methods
of wholesalers in inducing the man
ufacturers to stipulate a fixed price
for their goods.
In discussing the petition for an
injunction filed at Birmingham
against the Southern Wholesale Gro
GERS Association, Mr. Bowers said:
THE Southern Wholesale Grocers'
Association is an organization in re-
straint of trade, for their purpose is
to abolish competition by forcing the
manufacturers TO fix price at which
their goods must be sold, if the re-
taller handles them.
"The purpose of the association is
to get every important wholesaler in
the South to become a member, to
put his name in the green book and
to prevent the manufacturer from
selling to non-members Of the or
ganization. If their purpose had been
accomplished, it would mean that
the profit would go to the wholesaler
and that the consumer would be
forced to pay whatever price the
wholesaler fixed.
Their purpose in measure was
accomplished, for /, who am not a
member of the association, have let
ters in my desk showing that 1 am
unable to buy certain standardized
comodities because / sell them at
from 33 to sc per cent. less than the
manufacturer, egged on by the
wholesaler, demands me to get for
them. This applies to commodities
from olive oil to laundry soap.
The forces which we are compell-
ed to fight exist not only in the gro
Gerry trade and in the South, but in
every business in which buying and
selling is done. 1t exists in every
section of the country and concerns
the nation"

London Advertiser Offers $4,000 a

pearing in a London morning paper
offering a sum no less than $4,000
a year to society people who will

Productions to friends or acquaint-
ances in want of money at moder-

Memphis Tenn.-Duke G. Bowers.
owner of chain of grocery stores in
Memphis, who has spent much time
In Washington during the past few
weeks investigating the cause of the
high cost of living, feels that the
first triumph against what he con-
siders a trust, which is wringing
blood money from the people, has
been scored.
Mr.. Bowers is devoting almost his
whole time to the fight against the
combination, and is spending great
deal of money in the campaign. The
bill which he had introduced in the
legislative bodies of the nation
through Senator Taylor of Tennessee
and Representative Grow of Missou-
ri is for the purpose of preventing
trusts or combinations from control
ling the market value of merchan-
disc, produce or commodities, and
imposes upon the lawbreaker fine
of not less than $1,000 nor more
than $4,000, or Imprisonment of not
more than one year, or both fine and
Imprisonment, at the discretion of
the court"
But this is not all Mr.. Bowers is
not willing to rest upon the mere in
PRODUCTION of the bill into the legis-
lative bodies. Bearing the story of
his antitrust bill, Mr.. Bowers has
sent out 1000 cards, one to each
representative in Washington, one
to each senator and one to each news
paper reporter in the capital city.
Besides bearing the story, the card
displays personal appeal, as fol-
lows:
Dear Mr.. Lawmaker:- Evidently
you know nothing Of the price-fxins
plan some of the manufacturers are
endeavoring to put into effect in
these United States. If you did, then
