in this city May at a preliminary
meeting of interested persons called
by Governor Herbert S. Hadley.
Governor Hadley has long been an
ardent advocate of a return of city
dwellers to the farm.
He proposes to organize the Nation
al Farm Homes association, with the
philanthropists of the country as stock
holders, to furnish farms, equipment
and instruction for worthy applicants
who are seeking to escape from the
cities. 1t is proposed to incorporate
the association for $1,000.000, the
stock TO be divided into shares Of ST.
900 each.
Locate Colonies.
1t is then proposed to locate colon
les on model farms in Texas, Missouri.
Alabama and other states where land
is cheap and fertile. Each farmer will
be allotted 40 acres, home will be
erected for him, and fences, utensils
and live stock furnished. Thirty-two
of these 40-acre farms will constitute
a colony. Each colony will have a
central farm presided over by an ex-
pert. Tenants will be given ample
time to pay for their farms.

FIGHT FOR RELEASE
OF BANK MORSE ON
Martin W. LittIeton Asks Leave to
File Petition for Writ of
Habeas Corpus

Washington, May 2-The fight for
the freedom of Banker Charles w
Morse, serving a 15-year sentence in
the federal penitentiary at Atlanta,
Ca, was begun today in the supreme
court of the United States when Mar
tin w Littleton asked leave to file a
petition for writ of habeas corpus
1t is contended Morse did not have
trial by an impartial jury, because the
jury, during the trial, was placed in
exclusive custody of special agents of
the department of justice, that one of
the jurors, who is named, was not
mentally qualified, that the trial court
submitted to the jury an offense not
charged in the indictment, and that
the sentence is five years in excess of
what the statute authorizes on one
count of the indictments.

STANDARD OIL
MUST Get OUT
OF TENNE SSEE

Washington, May 2.-The decree of
the supreme court of Tennessee GUST
ing the Standard Oil of Kentucky from
Tennessee was today affirmed by the
supreme court of the United States.
the American Sugar company, must
stand trial on the indictment charged
to defraud the government out of sugar
customs. The supreme court of the
United States so decided today
Proceedings were begun in 1907 un-
der the Tennessee antitrust act The
charges originated out of transactions
at Gallatin, Tenn. The Standard of
Kentucky had oil stored in tanks in
Tennessee from which it procured a
supply to serve the merchants through
out various sections OF the state.
The Evansville Oil company of
Evansville, Ind, sent a salesman to
Gallatin to sell oil. He obtained a
number of orders, whereupon the agent
of the Standard OH offered 70 give the
merchants 10 gallons of oil per barrel
to countermand their purchase orders
from the Evansville Oil company.
Four of them accepted. The Stand
ard and two of its agents we're indict-
ed under the state antitrust act. One
of the agents was convicted, but the
Standard escaped punishment on the
ground that it could not be fined under
the act, but could only be ousted.
custer proceedings we're then begun
against it. The state courts issued an
custer decree, from which an appeal
was taken to the supreme court of the
United States.
