linRton relief department, an association

APPEAL IN TURPENTINE CASE
Supreme Court VIII Review Convic-
ton of Official Of Trust.
FIVE CONVICTED OF CONSPIRACY
All Were Sentenced 60 Pay Fines and
I've Were eiven Terms Of
Three Months a.
JaiI.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2O.-The supreme
court Of the United states today granted
a request that II review the conviction
OF officials Of the American Naval Stores
company, accused of having violated the
Sherman anti trust law.
OF the men concerned In the courts ac-
ton, Spencer p. ShOtter. chairman Of the
board Of directors Of the company. Is under
sentence TO serve three months In Jail and
to pay q fine Of 5000. while J. F. Cooper
Myers, vice president OF the company IS
under sentence 70 serve the same length
Of time and to pay a fine Of $500
Edmund s. Nash. president. was fined
8 900; George Meade Boardman. treasurer.
5000. and Carl Moller. manager OF the
Jacksonville, Fla, branch Of the company,
s. 1000.
The decision to review the conviction is
step in one OF the most spectacular
prosecutions known under the sherman
antitrust law. For the first time men
have sought 70 have set aside sentences
Of imprisonment for alleged violations Of
the antitrust law.
History OF the Case.
The American naval stores company,
whose officials were concerned in the ac-
ton OF the court today has been referred
Az a distributor and exporter OF what is
claimed to be more than 50 per cent Of the
turpentine and rosin obtained from the long
leaf yellow pine OF the Chrolinas. Georgia.
Florida Alabama. Mississippi Louisiana
and Texas. the company long has been
prominent figure in the trade OF the world.
Its customers are scattered through the
United States.
Today's action was the outcome OF a
prosecution begun in 1905 in the United
States circuit court Of Georgia against the
! company. It's officials and others for all
legged violation Of the Sherman antitrust
law.
II had been preceded by other proseeu-
tions. In one Of these Spencer p. shotter,
whose activities as chairman OF the board
Of directors had made him the most prom
inent figure in the company was found
guilty of violating the interstate commerce
law and fined. IN another he was found
guilty OF violating the Sherman antitrust
law and fined.
In the case before the court today he
had been sentenced to prison for alleged
violation OF the anti trust law, in addition
TO payment OF a fine.
The governments claim OF conspiracy
among the defendants was based partly on
the peculiar system Of markets for tlr-
pentine and rosln. II was asserted by the
government that the only open or quotation
market in the United States for the sale
OF naval stores was at Savannah Ca. At ali
the other ports or markets. It was claimed.
the prices were based on the closing prices
at Savannah.
This being the case the government
claims the defendants conspired to stay out
OF the Savannah market in the early part
OF 1908 In order to depress that market and
during that time to make large purchases
at closed markets, where the prices would
be depressed because Of the depression at
Savannah.

JUST ACTION.

The county commissioners lid just
the right thing when they refused
fatty to grant any extension of the
franchise to the South Bend Logans-
port interurban promoters.
They based their action on the
fact that these men have not dealt
squarely with a number of people in
this county. They have contracted
bills which have not been paid, and
there is little chance now of their
ever being paid. In addition to
this. the continued failure to live up
so the conditions in building the
road. gave another, and in itself a
sufficient reason, for not allowing
these promoters to fool along with
this county any more.
The commissioners ought to
hang right to the willows" on
this proposition and make these fell
lows come across and pay their
bills before they talk any more
about an extension of franchise OF
any other favors.
