Brought by Government.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Sitting as
the circuit court for the northern
district of Alabama Judges Pardee
and Shelby of the federal court Of
appeals today rendered a consent de-
cree in the injunction case against
Southern Wholesale Grocers Associ-
alton, which was instituted by the
United States government in Bir-
mngham in June, 1910, for the pur-
pose of restraining the association
from certain practices which were
alleged to be in violation of the
sherman antitrust law.
Immediately after the decree was
entered United States District At
torney 0. D. Street, for the northern
Alabama district, issued the follow
Ing statement, which explains sue
clnctly the effect of the decision.

SEED ON TOBOGGAN, TOO
The Price Is Practically Half of
What the Valuable By-ProduCt
Brought Last Year.

Cotton seed are following the lead
of cotton in hitting the toboggan.
They are selling just now for prac-
tically half of what they brought at
different times last year, and are
bringing the farmer only $14.5O to
$1,000 ton. Last season the oil
mills paid as high as $33 for seed.
Many farmers of this immediate
territory are not selling their seed
at the present prices.
There is half ton of seed to the
bale Of cotton. Assuming that the
total cotton crop this year will be
100000 bales the seed on basis
of SIC would be worth only $12,-
100000. Figuring this way it will
be easy to Sc what the low price of
seed means to the farmers of the
South.

not prohibited by the decree, and not
in violation of the law.
'By the terms of the decree the
association is prohibited from coerc-
ing manufacturers to sell only to it's
members, or to those which it recog-
nizes as wholesalers; and it is also
prohibited from boycottong such
manufacturers or from sending out
the so-called boycott literature.
"The wholesale grocers are also
enjoined from conspiring to fix, or
maintain, or to coerce, manufactur-
ers to fix and maintain limited SELL
ing prices.
"The decree further prohibits the
members of the association from in
any way conspiring to prevent any
person from buying or selling COM
modities wherever, whenever and
to whomsoever and at whatsoever
prices he may desire.
'The decree, which is somewhat
lengthy, enumerates the various IL
legal things which are enipoined and
prohibited.
The government is satisfied that
it's purpose in bringing the suit has
been accomplished; that the decree
will prevent the further interference
and coercion of those engaged in
manufacturing and selling grocery
products, and that the association
and its members will comply with the
courts order"

BAIT SUES FOR HIS "HALO."
Former Western Gun Man Wants
Gold Salve for Wounded Honor.

Former Western Gun Man Wants
Gold salve for Wounded Honor.
'Bat" Masterson values his halo
at $4,000. Masterson is one of the
most famous gun-men who ever came
out of the west. Stories of his Prov
ess with the six-gun and of his brav-
cry and GOODNESS in tight places Gre
ated a halo about his brow. He be-
came a hero about young Americans.
But now since somebody said that
bat is an alleged bad man and gun
fighter who made his reputation
shooting drunken Mexicans and m
dams in the back" Masterson has ap-
pealed to the court to cave his halo.
He figures that the alleged SANDER
should be worth $4,000 to him. It
is not like the good old days. The
gun-man then would not have ap-
pealed to the courts for gold-salve
for his wounded honor. No, the six
gun would speak once and another
notch would be cut into it's badly
SCARED stock.

Scranton had received a letter in

declaring that failure to comply
would result in the kidnapping of
Mrs. Cowdray's infant. The threat
was reported to the police, decoy
letter was placed where the writer
had directed, and the detectives lay
in wait and caught the girl.

These are only a few of the more
recent crimes in which women are
concerned, but they lend color and
confirmation to the recent plant of a
critic who begins by asking:
why is it that women nowadays
figure so much in the criminal news
of the day? Time was when this
evil pre-eminence was almost wholly
mans, when woman's noblest sta
ton was retreat, and when her name
but rarely appeared in the news.
But glance at the newspapers of to-
day and say who is now the more
conspicuous in criminal records, man
or woman"

WOMAN CRIME CONSPICUOUS
MAN ONCE HELD PRE-ENTINENCF
IN THE CRIMINAL NEWS.
That Has Changed, and the Papers

That Has Changed, and the Papers
Daily Print Accounts of Crimes in
Which Women Are Principals.
There are several reasons" ex-
plains Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch,
why woman now so largely divides
with mere man the invidious prom
inence that she has attained One
is that man once had the whole out
side world to himself, but now wo-
man has been taken from the spin
ming wheel and sent out into the
world herself. When liberty is &C
corded to any large aggregation of
people there will be some who will
make of it license.
Another reason is that we have an
advantage over men. We know you
and you don't know us. We have
nursed you from your babyhood up,
have washed you and dressed you,
sent you to school and denied you
candies. Therefore, you are not a
mystery to us. But we are to you,
and men love MISUNDERSTANDING
they are interested in everything
they don't understand, And as you
men run the newspapers naturally
you give as much prominence to the
doings of this mysterious being,
whom you don't understand, as you
possibly can"
However much one may be salts
fed or dissatisfied with the above
explanation it is unfortunately too
true that the daily papers of late
have contained accounts Of many
crimes in which women were the
principals.
Most grewsome of any is the sto-
ry, telegraphed from New Orleans,
of a young woman of that city ac-
cused of numbering her father, moth
er and two sisters. She was the
beneficiary of the life insurance pol
icies carried on the lives Of the vic
Tins, and she collected the insurance
and spent nearly all Of it on clothes.
In comparison with this the Dem
yer tragedy, in which a wife, angered
by a lawsuit brought by her husband,
shot him dead while lying in a sick
bed, makes light fall reading. Ac-
cording to the telegraphed account
the woman, Mrs. Chas. A. Patter-
son, went to the hospital where her
husband was being treated for con-
sumption, gained access to his room,
fired two shots into his body, and
then thrusting the pistol under the
body told attendants that he had
shot himself She later confessed.
Indianapolis furnished the details
of an 1S-year-old girl burglar, who
operated without pals. she was
wearing male attire when captured,
and according to the indianapolis
police she is one of the shrewdest
young criminals they have ever had
to deal with. The girl is described

ROCHESTER,, MINI. MARCH A.
Through the generosity of Drs. VIII
liam J, and Charles IL. Mayo the city
OF Rochester, in which they We're
born, received their education and
gained their great reputation in sur
athletic fields in the country. A
tract Of land, bordered on the west by
the Zumbro river. has been presented
to the city by the brothers. 1t Will
be known as Mayo athletic field.
While the field Is given for the pur-
pose OF promoting all kinds of attn
/ letics and outdoor sports, the sur
geons urge that baseball be encour-
aged and as a result the Rochester
/ baseball club of the Minnesota Wis
consin League will use 1t for the
! league park. Besides a diamond, a
football gridiron Is to be laid out.
! In the center of which will be grounds
! for basketball. Back of these will be
| provisions for tennis and croquee
| while around the football and base
ball plots viii be quarter mile run
ming track.
| On the banks OF the Zumbro river
will be constructed clubhouses with
| shower baths and lockers for the use
!
rife range viii provide traps for the
Rochester Gun Club. An ornamental
fence is to encircle the field, and 1t Is
| a future plan OF the donors to have a
concrete grandstand In the form Of a
stadium constructed.
! The field Is to be in charge of a
city athletic board. the personnel of
which is to be appointed by the may
or. 1t will consist OF three members.

one to be appointed every two years.
Among the pro&isos OF the Ora, Mayo
are that no intoxicating liquors shall
| be sold or permitted on the grounds
| and that gambling must not be toll
Grated. The field is for the use of all
at all times, but for events to which
admission is charged a Zee must be
paid by clubs that hold them. 1t in
the wish of the brothers that high
school athletic meets be encouraged
and that county meet be a, feature
each year.
