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

Albany, N. Y.-An entire family,
Mrs. Mary A. Morner, widow, her
daughters, Edith, aged 20, and
Blanche, aged II, and son, Arthur,
aged 20 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 were
discovered near COW barn, where
they had been hacked with Ratchet
and battered with q 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 Iaborer 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 neighbor remarked the failure
of Arthur Morner to bring him, ac-
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 on the right side Of the
head and her skull was fractured in
several places.
The body of the elder girl, Edith,
also was badly cut and bruised. Her
head was nearly severed by a 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.

CONVENTION CITY
WILL BE CHICAGO.
NEW SUBCOMMITTEE HEAD
Forecast Of the prSseedlaas Al Chi.
easo Where the conventIon3Will
Be Held = Delegates To Be
Selected In the Same Old Way

Washington-The Republican Ma
tional Convention viii meet in Chi
cago on Tuesday, June IS.
The convention will probably last
four days. After the formal meeting
of the National Committee on Mon
day, at which the temporary officers
Of the convention are selected, and
the preliminary roll of delegates is
prepared, the convention will enter on
its work on Tuesday. The first days
work is limited to the address of the
temporary chairman, the calling of the
roll, the election of the permanent
officers and the address of the per.
manent chairman. This latter address
is the notable feature of the day, fol
it is always regarded as the Keynote"
speech of the coming campaign. Com
mittees are appointed and other per
functory motions are made and adopt
ed, but the business of Tuesdays SEES,
sion is the organization of the conven-
ton.
Wednesdays session is devoted to
the platform. Ordinarily there are
two sessions on Wednesday, morn.
ing session meeting at 10 o'clock and
adjourning at noon, and an after
noon session meeting at o'clock and
adjourned as soon as the platform
has been perfected and adopted.
viii Be Easy For Taft.
Thursday is given to the nomination
Of candidates. Four years ago there
were nearly half dozen candidates,
and the day was given UP to tiresome
speeches made by friends of candi-
dates who knew they had not the
slightest chance of nomination. This
time the name of Senator La Toilette
may go before the convention, in adj
dition to that of President Taft, but
the nominating and seconding
speeches will be completed in ample
time for a vote, perhaps even at the
morning session. Should Mr.. Taft be
nominated at the morning session 1t
will be difficult to kill the entire af-
ternoon without nominating the Vice
President, and thus bringing the con-
vention to a close. There is, how
ever, always tacit understanding be
tween the National Committee and
the citizens committee of the conven
ton town that the delegates shall be
held at work for four days In order
that the thrifty citizens may get back
all their money, and as much more as
unremitting attention to the duty OF
robbing the delegates can accrue.

British ActiOn Against Those

AN IMMENSE LOSS iNtIRApE
srItlsh Governments pseluIon Due 10
Opposition OF the Labor and
Radical Members OF ParIIa-
ment To American Trusts. s

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 ONCE:
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 ito the opposition of labor and adj
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 its 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.

THE WAY TO :
END TRUSTS
Clearly Define LaWand Enforce
It, Says Brandeis.
NO NATURAL MoNoPoLIEs
Testifyine Before Senate Committee,
Boston Lawyer Declares That
Competition, Like Liberty
Should Be Regulated.

Washington. D. BranGeis, of
Boston, advocated before the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee the
La Toilette bill designed to supple
ment the Sherman Antitrust Law.
Answering the opponents 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 a natural
growth.
Mr.. Brandeis contended that it
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.
He said he favored the strengthening
of the Sherman law by the adoption
of the La Toilette bill and its amend
ments recently introduced in the Sem
ate.
The United States Steel Corporation
came in for criticism. Mr.. Brandeis
declared its action in paying Andrew
Carnegie three times, the value of his
plant" merely amounted to a bride to
get Mr.. Carnegie out of the steel bust
ness.
