The ninety acres in question are
along the Red river and was describ-

the Red river, but further than that
the government records failed to in

Of the district court is the placing of
the ninety acres on the county tax

MINNEAPOLIS IN
AVIATION FLIGHT

Minneapolis, Aug. S1.-H. A. Tuttle.
president of the Commercial club. late
today was elected vice president of
the association proposing an aero
plane flight from Minneapolis to New
Orleans and the public affairs COM
mittee of the club guaranteed $4,000
as Minneapolis share in a $4,000
purse with which to reward the avia-

CAUGHT AT LAST
Five Year Hunt Ended in the
Arrest of Negro And His
Wife

Washington, Aug. 31.-A wavering
red line, struggling across a street
map of the City of Memphis, on the
wall at secret service headquarters
here, records the story Of a FIVE
years. hunt for counterfeiter of sill
yer dollars which reached its climax
in Memphis today. with the arrest OF
John F. Payne, negro, and his wife
For more than five years the dol
lars, which Payne Is charged with
making, have been passing through
banks in Memphis and some have
even reached the sub-treasuries
They were accounted among the most
dangerous counterfeit money with
which the government has had to
deal. All the resources of the secret
service failed to turn up clue as to
their source.
Three months ago, Assistant Chief
w. H. Moran sent BILL" Nye to
Memphis. A few weeks later, at a
negro emancipation celebration al
Paducah, Nye picked up the first in
formation which led to the identified
ton Of Payne as the man alleged to
have been passing the dangerous
coins. Nye followed Payne back tc
Memphis, consulted with Moran, and
the two men laid out campaign.
Then almost inch by inch Nye be-
gan picking trial through the
streets of Memphis to Paynes house
Every day Moran in Washington, with
pen and red ink, recorded the pro-
gress of Nye's search upon map OF
the City of Memphis. A few days ago
the thin red line came to an end in
the suburbs, eight miles from the
heart of the city. 1t stopped in front
of an isolated farm house, surround
ed by high Doard fence, which made
it impossible fol Nye to see in the
windows.
Today Moran flashed message to
Memphis and few hours later Nye
reported the arrest of Payne and his
wife, as we'll as his seizure of several
of the counterfeit coins, the outfit for
making them, and the genuine dol
lars from which the moulds were
made.
On the counterfeits have been Pc
culiar little dents and scratches Nye
reported that he found them in the
genuine coins he took in the raid.
Moran says that proves that the
moulds from which the counterfeits
were made We're SO perfect that they
even reproduced the scratches and
hicks of the genuine coins.

OPIUM SMUGGLING
CASE DEVELOPS
Unravelling Mystery of How
the Drug Passed Through
Winnipeg

st. Paul, Minn., Aug. 31.-William
L. Harris, recently arrested in Chi
cago, in whose possession was found
suit case containing At cans of
opium, will this morning confront the
man whom he alleges has acted as an
intermediary agent in passing the
drug from the northwestern Canadian
ports through Winnipeg and st. Paul
to Chicago and other eastern points.
Through decoy letter purporting
to have come from Harris, the Unit
ed States government agents today
placed in custody the man who, 1t is
alleged, has engineered the opium
smuggling schemes which have, it is
alleged, flooded the United States
with contraband opium, despite the
severe restrictions and close watch
of the federal authorities at points of
entry. This man, when taken into
custody this afternoon by government
officers, denied all knowledge of the
opium traffic through this city and
Winnipeg. He said the suit case con-
tanning the AZ cans Of the drug had
never passed through his hands. that
he does not know Harris. and that all
of Harris statements are false.
Harris is said to have made COM
plete confession to the government
agents in Chicago yesterday. He is
alleged to be wanted in Winnipeg for
embezzlement, and will arrive in St.
Paul tomorrow morning in the GUS

having been waived. st. Paul custom

H0RNB[OWER H|TS
SHERMAN LAW
-- ~
Declares Strict Enforcement
Would Put All Concerns
Out of Business

Boston, Aug. 31-A protest against
further experiments in drastic. legis-
iation" against business interests
was voiced by WilliamsB. ,Hornblower
o1 New York In an address on "Anti-
Trust Legislation and Litigation" at
last nights session Of the annual
meeting of the American Bar asso-
citation. Mr.. Hornblower declared
that the Sherman antitrust law failed
to comply with what he considered
the requisites Of proper statute.
This STATUTE" he said, never has
been and never can be literally and
strictly applied. To so apply it would
produce chaos in the business world.
The statute must be applied not ac-
cording to its language but according
to it's reasonable meaning or else it
becomes the instrument of Injustice
and Of ruin to the mercantile COM
munity.
There is point at which compe-
tition becomes the death Of trade. I'm
due competition may lead to monop-
oily while reasonable regulation or a
reasonable agreement between the
competitors may prevent monopoly.
Prohibition Of all combinations and of
all restraint of trade is unwise. Civ
ilization means cooperation; coop
Grafton means combination; combina-
ton means restraint of competition.
Touching on the criminal aspect of
said:
Public opinion appears now to be
clamoring for victims. 1t is not sat-
isfied with damages or injunctions or
possible receiverships, but punish
ment of individuals is loudly called
for, protests are even made against
mere pecuniary fines. Actual impris-
onment of the offenders is demanded.
For myself, l do not hesitate to
say that the sweeping penal provi-
sions of this law are unwise and un-
just, and should be made more limit
ed In their scope and much more
definite and certain. Acts of moral
turpitude, If properly defined in ad-
vance, may we'll be made criminal.
Such acts Of moral turpitude are, for
instance, the use of unfair means to
suppress competition and to crush
out rivals, and agreements with COM
petitors to raise prices or to re-
strict production. To make restraint
of trade criminal, irrespective of its
character and purposes and irrespec-
tive Of the methods pursued to ac-
complish the restraint, is to punish
alike the intentional malefactor and
the honorable and upright business
man who has been guilty only of a
technical violation of a prohibitory
law"
Another suggestion has been re-
Gently exploited and has the support
of able advocates, namely, the crea-
tion by the federal government Of a
commission or a number of commits
sions who shall have power to regu-
late prices Of articles of interstate
commerce. To my mind, this is an
appalling suggestion. Nothing short
of omniscence can enable such a COM
mission to perform its work with in
telligence and with safety to the best
interests of producer and consumer

Greatest Rainfall in TWENTY

Philadelphia, Aug. 31.-Philadelphia
and vicinity, Delaware and New Jersey
are being swept by one of the heaviest
rain storms in recent years.
Railroad and trolley traffic are
greatly hampered by washouts, and in
the city much damage has been done
by sewers overflowing and flooding
cellars. The lines of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad company between
Philadelphia and Baltimore suffered
severely from washouts. Trains be-
tween the two cities are being re-
turned by way of the tracks of the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton company.
From 6:55 o'clock Wednesday night,
August %, until noon today, the total
precipitation has amounted to 9:OS
inches. The only time this record
was exceeded for a like precipitation
was in September, 1882, when 10:43
inches Of rain fell. The heavy down
pour continues and the record of
twenty-nine years also probably will
be exceeded.

Harris has given out the statement
that he received AZ cans of opium in
st. Paul which came from Winnipeg,
for which he paid $3.50 to the gov
eminent agents. He gave the name
Of the man to whom he paid the
money. The customs and internal
revenue departments acted at once,
with the result that the man was
placed under surveillance. and later
under arrest
1t is believed that trainmen on some
of the through trains have aided in
the enterprise, but on this point the
authorities refuse to give out any in
formation. 1t is probable that other
arrests will result. Unless there has
been collusion between railroad en-
ployes and the gang, the method Of
getting the drug across the line is a
puzzle. as the trains are carefully
searched at the border for all articles
Of contraband, and opium is the one
article Of contraband with the big
