LUMBER TRUST
 PROBE ADJOURNS

Kansas City, June 16.-After being in session here five days, the hearing of the states custer suit against the alleged lum- Der trust adjourned to reconvene in Jef- ferson City June 27. The state then will introduce three or four witnesses and rest it's case. Then the defense will begin the presentation of it's evidence.
 Albert Bushnell, a lumber commission dealer of this city, was the only new wit ness introduced today His testimony was that yellow pine prices had gone up from slO to s20 thousand feet in the last 15 years and. that the increase generally fol- lowed the issuance of price lists by tho Yellow Pine Manufacturers association.
 Attorney W. c. Scarritt for the defense introduced the last report of the forestry branch of the department of commerce and labor Of 1sO9 showing that in the
 last 10 years other kinds of labor had ad- vanced more in price than had yellow pine. The report showed these advances.
 Hickory, GA per cent yellow poplar, S1 per cent; ash, 50 per cent; oak, 4S per cent; cedar, S2 per cent, and cotton wood, l74 per cent.
 Harry A. Gorsuch, secretary of the Southwestern Lumbermens association, on cross-examination today said the ''blue books,'' issued by his association, were similar in nature to reports sent out by mercantile agencies. He denied they showed any discrimination as to whether a firm did or did not belong to any par ticular lumbermans' association.
