ing that he had seen report stating
the prices had been raised seven
times in 1895.
AT a meeting in st. Louis on Febru>
Ques, ,ioning BY Atkinson also
brought cut that practically the same
price list was sent out by these print
ers to the retail dealers as were is
sued to the manufacturers.
Atkinson returned to the question
ing on the theory that the exchange
of lists Of membership between the
affiliated manufacturers and retailers
association was really an agreement
10 sell and buy only in these associa-
Etlons.
He asked Smith if it was not so
that before 1903 if a member of the
Southern Association sold into closed
territory" a penalty OF 10 per cent of
the sale would be collected from him
and divided among those companies
claiming the sale He replied no.
What is closed territory?" Atkin-
son asked
q don't know" Smith replied.
"What is 'poacher?'"
81 don't know"
Atkinson then asked him If closed
territory was not territory in which
sales We're forbidden and "poachers'
q dealer who sold into another mans
territory, but received the same reply.
Smith denied there was any agree
ment prohibiting manufacturers sell
ing to contractors or individuals but
sad they did not do it, because ii is
not good business"
Additional interest in the Missouri
custer suit against thirty-eight big
lumber companies named in the suit
has been awakened by the filing OF
the government antitrust prosecu
lions a few days ago.
The suit in which testimony is beine
taken at the Southern Hotel was insti
tuted by Gov. Hadley when he was at
torney general, following an inquiry
he conducted into the methods and
business affairs Of forty-two big lun
ber manufacturing companies, charg
ing them with entering an agreement
among them to raise lumber prices by
curtailing the supply and to destroy
competition in the wholesale and re
tail trade. Considerable testimony
was taken IN st Louis in support o
his information, the witnesses being
! some of the biggest lumber manufac
turers in the country.
He follwed up his inquiry with the
filing Of an custer proceeding aganst
thirty-eight companies, dismissins

MISS SUSAN GLASPELL's DOG
VOLTA the Original OF the Puppies In
Her Story. "The
vlslon1ne."

Miss Susan GIaspell, the author. has
DOG, which fact is OF more impor-
lance than might at first appear. For
"a her new novel, The Visionary" are
introduced two frolicsome puppies
NAMED Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And
tnere are no two more real characters
"a the whole book than Why and Ant
=, 10 use their names in English form.
Il was Miss Glaspells own dog. a
hohenian beast. that inspired the Gre
atlon OF THE visionings" twin puppy
ctoWns. The real dog also has q
french name, VOLTA. When it's owner
bought II, over in Paris, she wanted at
nrst to name It Raspail, both in men,
ory OF the boulevard on which she
iiVed and as sympathetic cognomen
lOr sensitive souled Partisan dog.
but her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
Come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!" So
MISS Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries 1t is a wan
~derer. It is collie. and a collie ii
evidently thinks. ought to be afleld.
whenever 1t feels that way, away
VOLTA goes. Fortunately 1t wears a
collar with Miss Glaspelrs name and
address. She has come to thing moth
ing OF such a phone message as this:
Hello! Is dis Miss Glaspel! Veil,
dis is der bartender bic Hans Bum
meiransen's saloon. No, no, wait! |
didn't got der wrong phone number. l
choost want TO say got here your tog.
Win you come for him?"
Then the author of 1.-THE Visoining''
has to drop chapter plans and seek
out Herr Bummelransen's place with
sorrow-and dollar. But we're it not
so there might never have been a
N'est-ce-pas and a PourQuoi.
