SUIT TO BUST ELECTRIC TRUST
GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO FIGHT
COMBINE IN SECTIONS.
Will Eclipse Standard Oil Case and
Cost Uncle Sam
Million.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Before New
Years day, bill in equity against one
will be filed in some United States
court east of the Mississippi river.
They will begin what the depart
ment of justice considers the nam
moth trust busting suit of it's history
and one which involves a test of the
Sherman law never brought before
The governments case will depend
largely upon the Interpretation of the
patent laws.
One of the governments prosecutors
says that when the action is instituted
it will be recognized as far eclipsing
the Standard Oil case in magnitude
and public Importance, and one con-
sentative estimate is that it will cost
the government no less than $1,000, 600
to prosecute.
This latter fact is said to be the
answer Of the department of justice to
criticisms Of delay.
Attorney General Wickersham was
unwilling to involve the government in
that great expense without the fullest
investigation of it's chances Of proving
what it will allege.
To Fight in Sections.
The investigation is not completed,
but it has disclosed an object of at.
tack of such proportions that the de-
partment of justice has abandoned any
idea of lacking the combine as a whole
and intends to fight the so-called trust
in sections.
The bill soon to be filed will be
against one of the Is Or 20 divisions of
the alleged combine which Investigate
ors of the department of justice report
having found doing business under a
general head. All the commodities in
the use of electricity have been di-
vided in groups, the investigators say
and all of them are controlled by a
central organization.
Incandescent lights are said to be
controlled by one group, copper wire
by another, street car motors by an.
other, transforming machinery by still
another and so on, down the list of
electrical appliances.
The government will file it's first suit
against one of those sections and fol.
low it up by actions against the others
as fast as investigations are complet-
ed

.DE|Tz TRIAL IS POSTPONED
BUT ANOTHER CHARGE WILL BE
PUSHED AT ONCE.
Another Effort to be Made to Release
Dam Defender on
Bail.
:: ~ :. G,. I. ,l.=s Fs1s, FEa. fa'

Hayward, Dec. 14.-The cases against
John Deitz and his Cameron dam fam
lily which have already cost Sawyer
county over $4,000 and have been
unsuccessfully pushed by the district
attorney, ]. G.. Davis, and his associ-
ates, were continued until March 6.
John Deitz will again make applica-
ton for bail, and probably in a few
days will be given his liberty on q
joint bond which will be authorized by
Circuit Judge Reid who has been sit
ting here, and whom John Deitz and
his attorneys declare is perfectly fair
and impartial.
With the postponement of the trial
for the alleged killing of Deputy Harp,
the state began dealing the trump
cards it has up it's sleeve and the case
of Myra and Clarence Deitz, charged
with resisting arrest Oct. l, on the road
to Winter, when Myra Deitz was shot,
will be given a preliminary hearing
at once
After the cases have been disposed
of the state will bring charges against
the father, Myra, Leslie and Clarence,
on charges of shooting Deputy Sheriff
John Hogich and shooting at Deputy
John Hoeft.
In an effort to secure the immediate
service Of all warrants against the
Deitz family and the admittance to
bail on each charge. Attorney Rubin,
chief counsel for the defense, will
make an argument begore the court
following the hearing of the children.
Among the cases in which no war
rants have been received are the case
against John Deitz, charged with the
shooting of Bert Horel in Winter, Sept.
9Th, last. There is also a case pend
ing against the Thornapple man charg-
ing him with resisting arrest at the
hands of Sheriff Thomas Grist.
In the courtroom, after all was over,
John Deitz, who sat impatiently
throughout the whole proceedings, de-
clared it was all "horse play" why
do they monkey around like this and
not get anywhere?" he inquired. "Why
didn't the district attorney take the
proposition we made to them in the
first place and allow us to try this case
in another county," Plainly he was
disgruntled.
For the first time since his arrest
John Deitz walked the streets of Hay
ward without being handcuffed to the
sheriff or one of his deputies. He was
taken to the Jail by the sheriff in COM
pany with Mrs. Deitz and her son,
Leslie. Deitz had both hands in his
pockets and the sheriff likewise, pro-
tecting his hands from the cold.

MARDEN. FOR SENATOR
GAINESVILLE Man Makes Formal An
nouncemsnt That He Will De
Candidate Against Peterson.

The following formal announcement
was made public this morning by Atty.
Charles S. Marden OF GAINESVILLE and
1t was signed by that gentleman:
Il hereby announce to the people of
the Sixtieth legislative district that
am a candidate for the republican
nomination for state senator from this
district.
Il respectively ask the support of
the voters of the district at the coming
primary election to be held Sept. 20,
1910.
IF nominated and elected to repre-
sent this district, / will devote my best
efforts to the service of the district
and the state"
This brief political billet doux has
caused not a little CONSERVATION
among the friends and admirers of
Senator Peterson for 1T appears that
they have been basklng in the sun
shine Of expectancy, that is was
among the possibilities no one would
have the temerity to oppose the Mr..
Peterson, who has represented the
sixtieth in the upper branch for two
terms. Four years ago Mr.. Peterson
had no opposition. The opponents of
Mr.. Peterson think that the time is
ripe for electing a man more to their
liking, but just what Mr.. Peterson has
done or has not done is not quite
clear, but the why's and wherefores
will probably be developed between
now and the primaries on Sept. 20. In
political circles'4 is claimed that Mr..
hac ~ he
grata in Becker county on account OF
something the gsenator did not do or
did do in connection with the state
fish hatchery. 1t is generally conceded
that the entree of Mr.. ,Marden into
the coming tussle for the senatorial
nomination wifi precipitate a pretty
little fight for votes-and 1t may be
said that both men are fighters and
each is worthy Of his opponents Steel
When it became known in the, city
today that Mr.. Marden was in reality
candidate politicians began to figure
as to what effect the senatorial scrap
would have on the field Of republican
candidates for the office of sheri.-.
There are now five announced candi-
dates, one from FELTON,, Mr.. Murphy,
the first to file; one from Hawley, and
three from Moorhead, Messrs. Bayer,
Erickson and Thompson-the present
sheriff. Mr.. Whaley is credited to
Hawley. With two republican candi-
dates for the senatorship there is sure
to be combination formed and the
question now is, who will the candi-
dates for sheriff tie up to, Marden or
Peterson? One thing is certain, there
can be no carrying water on both
shoulders in this fight. 1t is rumored
that some understanding has been ar
ranged with one Of the candidates for
sheriff, but which one has not been
divulged. At any rate the Marden an
nouncement has caused a scratching
of craniums, and the asking Of the
question, where am l at2" One wise
one" was heard to say this morning
that the happy family at the court
house might be disturbed.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Wheat: The mar
ket opened about "a cent lower in
fiuenced by the government report OF
yesterday, which caused some further
liquidation and also short selling. The
buying was chiefly by commission
houses on resting orders and in some
cases for foreign account and prices
rallied to last nights close and the
erect of the bearish government report
seemed to have spent itself. There
seemed to be less pressure from cash
sales and the September ruled little
firmer than yesterday. Cash demand
locally is poor and the elevator IN
terests are the chief buyers of daily ar
rivals. TIE southwest reports practi-
cally not offers from first hands the
decline In the market having undoubt-
edly influenced farmers to stop selling
for the time being. The foreign news
was undoubtedly the supporting factor
today. We will probably have weak
spots from time to time as the weight
of stocks Is felt and September wheat
is very apt to drag lower, but we
rather favor buying May wheat on
weak spots
