SENATE RESTAURANT DECLARED
UNREASONABLE" MONOPOLY

Washington, d. C.-Another mo-

other edibles discriminating against
the New England Pie club, was op-
pressive and unreasonable.
An appeal was taken to Senator
Crane, who, as chairman of the COM
mittee on rules has jurisdiction over
the restaurant. He gave a hearing
to the pie club, the steward and all
interested parties.
In handing down his opinion Sena-
tor Crane held that the managers of
the restaurant sought to monopolize
the business OF providing food to all
persons in the senate wing Of the cap
itol. 1t was also held that a con-
spiracy had been formed in unreason-
able restraint of trade to crush tho
New England Pie club. In addition,
'unjustifiable" discrimination had
been practiced, and this restraint Of
trade could not be tolerated.
Senator Grant took advantage Of
the recent supreme court decision In
the Standard Oil case and applied
the rule OF reason" to the New Eng
land Pie club, He held that its mem.
bers must have pie. 1t was reason
able they should indulge In this deli
cacy. 1t was also right that Il should
be purchased at the senate restaurant
at wholesale prices.
NO appeal can be taken from the
decision of Senator Crane.

GORGONZOLA CHEESE
ROUTS ITALIAN STOWAWAY

New York.-The next time Antonio
Skala leaves his sunny Italian home
to visit his sister in Keokuk Iowa,
the betting is to that he will not
choose a vessel the principal cargo
of which is Gorgonzola cheese. He
will make a careful inspection before
he goes abroad and will be sure that
his surroundings for the voyage will
be of a subtance less cloying to the
appetite and infinitely less heavy in
the nostrils.
For Antonio is persistent stowa-
way. This was his second effort to
come to the land of the free and the
home of the brave and his sister,
without paying passage, and the last
attempt was more disastrous to his
constitution than the first
He stole aboard the Saxonla of the
Cunard line at Naples and made a bee
line for the hold. He was in such a

found 2 cOzy nest and fell asleep as
the Say'nia steamed into the Medt-
erranean When he awoke he was
hungry, and being a Nepolitan, the
odor put an edge on his appetite. At
first he was pleased with the diet that
he found stored around him and ate
literally.
That was on the first day. Toward
the shank of the second day out the
conviction began to steal on him that
not only was Gorgonzola likely to
grow monotonous but that the sur
charged atmosphere was trifle heavy
for breathing purposes. By evening

in the city to prohibit such buildings

which might be designated as a par
ticular residence district, but to do
this latter a special ordinance declar-

that since the abolishment of the Of

to prevent this had not been vested

and some of the city physician. The
