Glass Eye Explodes.

Building Inspector Frank r. Min
ner, of Allentown, Pa, was the victim
of an accident, the cause of which
physicians were unable to explain,
having never heard Of a similar occur
renee.
Inspector Minner met with a mis-
hap twelve years age which resulted
in the loss Of an eye, and since then
he has been using glass one, which
( he changes every year.
While Minner was engaged in con-
versation with a man at his Office in
the city hall, the glass eye suddenly
exploded with a report like that of
pistol shot
Minner fell over dazsd. and his COM
panion was at a loss to know what
had happened until blood began to
squirt from the inspectors eye. A ply
sician found the socket of the eye
badly lacerated, and it is feared that
particles Of glass penetrated the brain,
in which event serious results are
feared.
One physician advances the strange
theory that the eve was made of eel
luloid instead Of glass, and that the
natural heat OF the body caused it to
explode.

Supreme Court Gives Govern

AN ILLEGAL COMBINATION

American and British-Ameriean Tobae-

Are Given Six Months to Reorganize.
Evasion Strictly Guarded Against.
Milford chronicle., 1911-06-02

american and British-American 7 obac-
co Companies Are a Monopoly and
Are Given Six Months to Reorsanize.
Evasion Strictly Guarded Against.
Tke American Tobacco company and
its accessories and subordinate corpOr-
ations and companies, including the
English corporation, the British
American Tobacco company, were
held by the supreme court Of the
United States to be co-partners in
combination illegal under the Sherman
antitrust act
The court sent the case back to the
lower court with directions to hear
further the parties so as to ascertain
whether a new condition could not be
re-created in harmony with the law.
At the same time it specifically guards
against any evasion of the decree.
Justice Harlan concurred in part
with the courts opinion and dissented
in part.
The decision was handed down by
the chief justice, after a day devoted
to clearing the calendars for adjourn
ment till next fall
It comes as the end Of a long fight, /
second only perhaps to that of the /
government against the Standard Oil,
the decision in which was handed
down two weeks ago.
The court decreed:
"First-That the combination in and
OF itself, as well as each and all Of its
elements composing it, whether cor
porate or individual, whether cOnsid-
cred collectively or separately, be de-
creed to be in restraint of trade and
an attempt to monopolize and a mo-
nOpolization within the first and Sec
ond sections of the antitrust law.
"Second-That the court below, in
order to give effective force to our
decree in this regard, be directed to
hear the parties, by evidence or 9TH I
erwise, as it may be deemed proper
for the purpose Of ascertaining and 3
determining upon some plan or method I
of dissolving the combination and of s
out of the elements now
it. a new condition which
shall be honestly in harmony with and
not repugnant to the law
'Third-That for the accomplish. {
ment of these purposes, taking into '
view the difficulty of the situation, a o
period of six months is allowed from d
The receipt of our mandate, with
leaves, however. in the event, in the
Judgment OF the court below, the ne
,essities of the situation require to
extend such period to a further time
lot to exceed sixty days. ~
"Fourth-That in the event. before
he expiration of the period thus fixed,
condition Of disintegration in har-
nony with the law is not brought
bout, either as the consequence Of
he action OF the court in determining
n issue on the subject or in accepting
plan agreed upon, it shall be the
uty of the court either by way of an
Injunction restraining the movement
t the products of the combination in
he channels of interstate or foreign
ommerce, or by the appointmen, OF
receiver, to give effect to the re.
uirements of the statute"
Pending the bringing about of the
esult, directed by the court, each and
i Of the defendants, individual as
ell as corporations. are to be re-
rained from doing any act which
light further extend or enlarge the
1wer of the combination, by any
cans or device whatsoever.

Psrdons Denied Convict Bankers.
President Taft denied the applica.
tion for pardon OF Charles W. Morse,
the former New York banker, serving
a fifteen-year sentence in the federal
penitentiary at atlanta, Ca, and John
r. Walsh, the Chicago financier. who
is serving a fve-year sentence at
LeaVenwOrth, Kan.
Permission is given by the president
TO Morse to renew his application for
pardon afte. Jan. 1. 1918. As Walsh
is eligible for parole after next Sep
tember. when he will have served two
thirds of his sentence, the president
refused to take any action whale
In his case.
In deciding against Morse and
Walsh. the president has resisted the
most powerful influences that have
been brought to bear upon him on any
subject since he entered the White
House. In his memorandum announc-
ing his rejection of the applications
he refers to the influential and pfomi-
nent persons who have~petitioned in
behalf Of the prisoners. and adds that
they apparently fail to appreciate the
high Importance to society that such
criminal breaches of trust as Morse
and Walsh are guilty OF should be Sc
Verely punished

MAKE THEM HELP OUT.

Pendleton prides itself greatly on
being a convention city and upon the
crowds shat flock here to see the
Roundup. The city goes to much
trouble and expense to bring people
here and to entertain them while
they are here, The city tries to put
forth its best foot on such occasions.
Why not require the Pacific Power
* Light company and the Pacific tele-
phone company to help along this line
By removing their poles and overhead
wires from the business streets Such
action on their part would greatly
improve the appearance of the streets.
1t would make the cluster lights ef-
fcctive and cause Pendleton to look
bright and attractive to visitors.
Pendleton does much for the cleo
trio trust and the telephone trust
Make those concerns do something
for Pendleton.

MOUNTAIN WATER WANTED.

The organ that represents the BY
ers milling company in the water con-
troversy declares it favors using the
Cayuse springs, nine miles above
town. or some other source near by.
Possibly it would like to take water
from VIII Horse creek or from the
Tutuilla. Poth are close to town and
flow into the river below the head of
the Byers mill race.
But the people do not want water
from near by" They use that sort
OF water now and do not like it. They
want mountain water and plenty of
l.. If there is not enough water in the
Thorn Hollow springs to meet the
needs of the city the people will prob
ably vote to go to the north fork of
the UmatiiIa for a supply. There is
plenty of water there and it could al
so be utilized for power purposes.

PAY THE OFFICIALS.

Local public improvements now
actually underway or in prospect run
Up to almost 100000. \ bond issue
sf 100000 has been authorized for 4
new water system, the sum Of $780,
coo has been voted for a new high
school; the sum of $4,000 is being
expended upon new bridge across
the Umatilla at the foot of Main
street; $4,000 was authorized for
sewer extensions and that work is
now being carried out while street
paving work aggregating over $4o,-
coo has been tentatively ordered by
the council.
Now I so happens that all Of this
money Is being expended or will be
expended by men who work for the
city without pay. In other words
they devote their spare time to the
matter as people usually do in cases
where the work is of a thank you"
nature.
II Is not the way to get efficient
service. Practical business men know
that 10 spend money and do>it right
is hard work. It involves close in
vestigati1n and discrimination. 1t is
work that can be properly perform
cd only by men who know the ways
and the v-iles of those with whom they
deal
It i unreasonable for the people to
expect 70 have their work done for
nothing. The public cannot get
something for nothing anymore than
can an individual. This is unques-
ronably cue Of the reasons why we
have had much trouble in the past
in inducing good men to run for such
positions as mayor and councilmen.

How many ld-fashioned remedies
are being used, which goes to show
that it is hard to improve some of
our grandmothers old-time, tried
remedies. For instance, for keeping
the hair dark, soft and glossy Moth
ing equals our grandmothers' sage

sulphur and other ingredients, this
old-fashioned brew has been made
more effective as a scalp tonic and
color restorer.
Nowadays, when our hair comes

going to the garden or garret for
herbs and making the tea" ourselves
we SIMPLY go to the nearest drug
store and ask for a bottle OF Wyeth's 8
