BY j. ED GRILLo.

When the deal was made whereby the
Washington club secured players Moeller,
Foster and Spencer from the Rochester
club of the Eastern League there was an
agreement entered into which would give
that club the services Of players Groom
and Lelivelt of the local team, providing
waivers could be secured on them, in ad-
dition to a cash consideration. In the
event of the Washington club being un-
able to deliver Lelivelt and Groom addi-
tional cash will have to be paid to
Rochester. 1t goes without saying that
there Is little or no likelihood of either
OF these players getting out of the league.
In the first place 1t cannot be taken for
granted that Griffith will make any effort
to secure waivers on this pair. Groom
won the last five games he pitched for
the Nationals last fall: while Griffith is
sure to want to have look at Lelivelt
before he disposes of him.
The fact that neither of these players
has proven satisfactory to either can
tillon or McAleer is not apt to influence

THE way 10 END TRUSTS
Testlfylng Before Senate COMMITTEES.
Boston Lawyer Declares That
Competition, Like Liberty,
Should BE Regulated.

Washington. Louis D. Brandeis, OF
Boston, advocated before the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee tho
La Toilette bill designed to supple
ment the Sherman Anti-trust Law.
Answering the exponents of govern
ment control of monopolistic corpora
tions. Mr.. Brandeis declared there
was no such thing as natural
monopoly in industry. If the law pro
hibiting the practices through which
existing great combines grew up
should be clearly defined and enforced,
he said, no trusts would arise in the
future
Supporters of the La Toilette bill"
he said, believe in competition in in
dustry on economic, social and
political grounds. They agree that
only unreasonable restraints of trade
should be prohibited. But they be-
lieve the law is inadequate, difficult
Of application and unsatisfactory in
its remedy. They propose to let the
law remain, but to supplement it with
provisions remedying these defects.
There are no natural monopolies In
industry. Even the Oil Trust got con
troll by ruthless and unconscionable
violations of law by criminal rebat-
ing, bribery and corruption. which
brought it wealth with which to de-
stroy competitors by price-cutting and
like practices. The Steel Trust &C
CURED control, not through greater
efficiency, but by buying plants and
ore supplies at fabulous prices. Not
one industrial monopoly is natural
growth
Mr. Brandeis contended that il
would be impracticable for the gov
eminent to fix the selling price for
monopoly products because of the
absence of data to determine what
would constitute reasonable return
on capital
Mr.. Brandeis declared that COM
petition, like liberty, should be regu-
lated least it lead to monopoly and
unrestrained liberty leads to oligarchy.

earthquake of violent intensity, ac-
cording to reports received here.
Thirteen persons were reported dead
from falling walls in Cuernavaca, eight
in Guayamas and IA in Palapa.
The shocks came shortly after noon
and were preceded and succeeded by
eruptions from several craters long
thought to be extinct.
The whole of Mexico was rocked
from ocean to ocean and from Guiana
juato on the north, to the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec on the south, by an
earthquake. The disturbance was
severely felt in the State of Guerrero.
especially In Chilpancingo, the move
ment was much greater. A few build
ings were thrown down.
The quake caused near panic
here. Hundreds rushed to the Zocolo
terrified, where they ran aimlessly
about or fell on their knees in prayer.
Telegraph and telephone wires were
snapped and for a time this city was
without light and electric power on
account of the breaking Of cables, but
aside from the throwing down Of a
few adobe walls no serious damage
was done.
The first shock was felt at 1910
o'clock and continued for few sec
onds more than two minutes. The
instruments registered an oscillatory
movement from southwest to north.

AMERICAN MEAT
PACKERS BARRED
British Action Against Those
Under Prosecution.
AN IMMENSE LOSS IN TRADE
British Governments Decision Due To
Opposition Of the Labor and
Radical Members OF ParIia-
ment To American Trusts.

London. The British government
has decided to exclude all the Ameri-
can meat packers against whom prose
cutions have been instituted in the
United States from rendering for con
tracts for the supply of meat to the
British army and navy pending the
settlement of the suits.
The agents in the British Isles OF
the prominent American meatpackers,
who have. UP to now, secured large
government contracts for the supply
Of meats to the army and navy, have
received the following notification
from the War Office:
Pending the ultimate result of the
legal proceedings in the United States
against certain meat-packing firms. it
has been decided by the British gov
eminent that none of the firms involv.
ed shall be invited to tender for army
supplies"
The decision of the government is
due to the opposition of labor and ad-
vanced radical members of Parlia-
ment to the American trusts.
The contracts given out by the War
Office. which had hitherto been secur-
ed by American firms, are now expect
ed to go to Argentina meat packers.
It was explained by officials Of the
War Office that the government action
was in accordance with it's regular
policy. In case any company with
which the government dealt became
involved in serious litigations the gov
eminent Immediately refrained from
giving contracts to that company
while the litigation continued. Brit
ish firms received the same treatment
under the same circumstances.
There is little doubt that the Ad-
miralty will follow in the same lines
as the War Office. The War Office
usually gives contracts for short terms
inviting monthly tenders from the con
tractors, while the Admiralty usually
asks for tenders for long periods.

WHOLE FAMILY
IS WIPED OUT
Mother, Two Daughters and
Son Murdered.
HACKED WITH A HATCHET
No Motive Apparent For Crime Near
Albany, N. y.-sIain With
Hatchet - corpses OF the
Women Found In Manure Pit.

Albany, N. Y.-An entire family,
Mrs. Mary A. Morner. a widow. her
daughters, Edith, aged 20. and
Blanche, aged II, and san, Arthur
aged 90 years, were murdered Tues
day on the Morner farm near De
Freestville, Rensselaer, county, about
five miles from Albany.
The bodies of the three women we're
discovered near a cow barn. where
they had been hacked with a Ratchet
and battered nth a balestick and
thrown into small manure pit.
A searching party found the body
of the son with the throat cut and
otherwise mutilated, under the barn
floor, the boards of which had been
ripped up and replaced after the muir
derer had secreted his victim.
The police are searching for an
Italian farm laborer known as Ed
Dinnis, who had been employed by
the Morners since last September.
Little is known concerning him.
The tragedy was not discovered for
more than "a hours after it occurred,
when a neighbor remarked the failure
of Arthur Morner to bring him, &C
cording to daily custom, milk for
shipment to market.
A blood-stained Ratchet and four.
foot bale-stick were found in the pit
near the three bodies and with these
the police believe the murderer first
felled and then mutilated his victims
Mrs. Morner had received blow from
the Ratchet Non the right side Of the
head and her skull was fractured in
several places.
The body of the eleer girl, Edith,
also was badly cut and bruised. Her
head was nearly severed by blow
from the Ratchet and there was a
large hole in her left temple. The
younger girls body was the least
mutilated.
Motive for the crime seems to be
lacking. What money there was in
the house before the murder was
found intact.
Indications, the authorities say,
point to the murderer as being insane.

Washington. Efforts to authorize
the sale of the hull of the battleship

to exhibit it at various ports of the
United States and charge admission
fee to visitors were defeated in the
House of Representatives The
Urgent Deficiency bill, which carries
an appropriation Of $25O,0O0 to com
plete the work of raising the Maine,
passed the House without change after

It was admitted in the debate that
offers approaching $1,000,000 have
been received from exhibition inter-
ests for the rear portion of the hull,
which can be fitted up with bulk
head and towed from Havana to the
United States. This sum would more
than cover the cost of clearing the
wreck out of Havana harbor, cost
which will total about 100000.
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the Appro-
priations Committee, admitted that it
was the present intention of the
Government to tow the rear part Of
the hull out into the ocean and sink
it with the naval honor that goes to
gallant battleship.
Il believe it would he better for the
people to get what we can for the
ship" declared Representative Macon,
of Arkansas, who opened the fight for
the sale of the hulk.
There are plenty of novelty seek
ers and Coney Islandites, who would
gladly take the old carcass where it Is
and pay good price for it in order to
get it over here and charge so much
to look at it, or sell pieces of it to
curio hunters at SO much per curio."
Mr.. Macon's proposal to cut out the
appropriation to complete the work
on the wreck was defeated. Chair
man Fitzgerald, of the Appropriations
Committee, strongly opposed any sale
of the hull

pie would not tolerate making public
show of that old vessel he said.
There are some things that are
