By MABEL HERBERT URNER

I saw some big heads for that this
morning and we only get three leaves

she was sorry to leave Mr.. Dean
few minutes later Mr.. Dean came
down and took his seat beside MISS
Ryan.

MI. Dean. whose collar was very high

CROWDS SWARM
 TO SCHENK TRIAL

Wheeling, w. Va, Janualy 10.-Exclte- ment within and without the courthouse marked the first day of taking testimony in the trial of Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk, charged with poisoning her hus- band. John O. schenk. who is now re- covering. An almost irresponsible crowd of women spectators had been com stantly called to order by Judge Jordan when startling bits of testimony caused murmurs that interfered with the pro- ceedings.
 Twice today the police without the courthouse were carried before the on- slaugft of women at the opening of the building early in the morning and again following recess. The orders to admit only as many as could be seated were strictly carried out by the police.
 In the afternoon the rush into the build ing was so sudden that several women were knocked down and trampled upon. Mrs. Amelia Kiren was taken to a hos pital after the police had beat the crowd back. The disorder within the court room started at the testimony of the first witness of the day, William Wolfe who had travelled in Europe with Johr o. Schenk, the alleged poison victim.

STEER GIVES A
 HISTORY OF TRUSTS

Atlanta, January 1o.-An analysis of attempts to control monopoly from ancient times down to the decision last week by the supreme court of the United States in favor of the Car mack amendment to the Hepburn rate law was delivered before the Atlanta freight bureau tonight by Judge Elm ory Speer of the United States district court for the Southern district of Geor- gia. Judge Speer said in part:
 Tt is the duty of every American and especially of societies like yours to see that our national patrimony shall be used and not exploited for the exclusive benefit of those mighty mas ters in the art of combinations in re- straint of trade, those lawless cap tains of industry who bear to this peo- pie the relation which Attila, Alario and Gengis Kahn bore to the broad lands they ravased. It Is an old, old story. The modern method is only smoother"
 The originator of the first American antitrust law was John sherman, said Judge Speer, and then added
 Tt will be observed that to this great measure the very first attempt in our history to regulate interstate and foreign commerce. there was ut- orally no opposition from a southern state. It will be demonstrated, I think, that its most vigorous enforcement may be found in the investigations of grand juries and the findings of turies in this section.'
