Washington, January S.-(SpeciaL)-- The next half-year promises to be a strenuous one for officials of the de- partment of justice from the Attorney General down to the office boy. The same period also promises to be one of unrest and worry for some of the large corporations and trusts and their officials Within the period the Attor- ney General will endeavor to bring to successful close the suits already in- stituted against 10 or a dozen corpora tions and have half as many more com- pleted ready for presentation to either civil or criminal court
 First comes the case of the tobacco trust, brief of which the department filed with the United States supreme court this week. Arguments were be- gun yesterday and will be continued Monday. This case will be followed by the re-hearing of the Standard Oil and corporation tax cases. While the cases are being heard in the higher tribunals some of the best legal minds in the departments will be charged with com batting the array of legal talent em- ployed by the beef trust in an effort to bring that corporation before the criminal court and check moves for de- laying prosecution.
 In this case every effort is being made by the department to get prison sentences with convictions At the same time the now famous bathtub

 trial. Here an army of trust officials have been indicted by a federal grand
 jury on criminal charges. This case
 is set for an early hearing. Unlike
 the beef barons, the officials of the
 bathtub trust have virtually confessed
 their guilt and asked clemency. Ac
 sham there will be no clemency. There
 is suit in equity against the Great Lakes towing monopoly. The suit will
 be threshed out. A suit against the
 wh olesale grocers' combination doing
 business in the southern states will face court music on the charge of con-
 spiracy to restrain any grocer except members of the monopoly from selling the products of the grocers' combina- ton. Then there Is the butter and egg board or Elgin against which the department has evidence tending to show that 1t is combination which

 ed by a federal grand jury against it's

 been entered; the 16-hour law relating to railroad employees in inter state com
 merce will come up for adjuication. The railroads have insisted that this law is unconstitutional. In addition to the above suits. all pending, there are numerous suits arising under the inter state commerce commission law, appeals from the decisions of the inter state commerce and federal circuit courts.

He added to this num- Der yesterday 15 new bills, taking a long list of food products and other articles from the tariff schedules and putting them on the free list
 The tariff bills were introduced by "re- quest" but MT. Mann would not say who made the request. He declared his pur- pose of immediately recalling them from the ways and means committee, to which they were referred and had been placed on the calendar for action by tlS, House.
 There has been much talk throughout the country of the injustice of the tariff on these things" he said, "so I have pre- sented the bills and the House can take what action it deems proper"
 As the call of this calendar takes place on every other Monday of the session, there will be little time for consideration of these tariff bills unless the majority of ,the House should vote to pas sover long list of other measures in which many congressman have local interest.
 The Mann bills carry to the free list leather from cattle hides, and skins boots and shoes, harness, saddles, and saddlery, cattle. swine, horses, mules sheep hay. straw. flax straw. cotton cloth valued at not over cents square yard, hops, eggs. meats and poultry, fish seeds of vegetables, pepper. salt beans beets, onions, potatoes. peas, putter cheese, milk, barley, buckwheat, corn maize, oats, rice, rye, wheat, barley meal cornmeal, macaroni. oatmeal, rolled oats biscuits, timber and lumber (squared ane sawed, but not planed or flnished).

 SOLONS TO CONVENE

Columbia, s. C., January 8.-The legis- lature will convene Tuesday for what cus- tom has set as a 40-day session. With the liquor question apparently out of the way for the present, 1t is probable that various administrative reform schemes will be proposed. All in all, the present session promises to be one of consider able work without any sensational feat ures. The first question which will come before the house when it convenes after the new members, of whom there are many, are sworn, will be the election of a speaker M l.. Smith of Camden, a former speaker, who has been prominent In politics for some years, will prob ably be elected speaker. The senate, which has also many new members, will have to elect president pro tenn. After the organization of the two houses the next thing on the programme will be tho reception of the annual message from Gov. M F. Ansel, retiring executive.
 On January 1T, one week after the meet ing of the legislature, Col. E. L. Blease, governor elect, and c. A. Smith, lieuten- ant governor-elect. will be inaugurated.
 Aside from routine business and ordi- nary elections the legislature this year will have to consider for confirmation the constitutional amendments which were adopted at the last general election, and will also elect fourth associate jus tice, as provided for in the amendment changing the number of supreme court justices sfs Ys

WEEKLY REVIEW OF DRY GOODS MARKET

New York January S-There is a bet ter tone in the cotton goods market fol- lowing fair sales of wide print cloths to printers. some goods for export and small lots of brown and blcacheries.
 Fall River sold ,0CO pieces during the week, of which 5O,C00 were for spot de- livery and a fair rate of sales for the first three months of the year is noted. The export business consisted of about 2000 bales of 4.70-yard and 5-yard sheet fngs for China shipments. Ticking bleach- cry for the jobblng trade are firm and an advance is pending in consequence of the cleared-up condition of stocks and the unwlllingpess of mills to accept further business, unless there Is a margin of profit in the trading.
 There has been better trade in many of the fine wash goods which has come principally in the way of recorders from jobbers. The first week in the year is not normally a time of activity, but dur ing the coming two weeks many of the largest jobbers of the country will be in the market and operation will broaden slowly.
 Cotton blanketings and cotton napperies for the fall season are to be shown next week.
 While a conservative ton pervades the market it was thought by merchants that optimism was more prevalent at the close of the week. The yarn markets are gen. orally quiet on the last days of the week, but inquiries were more general.
 The old difficulty Vf getting prices up to parity of high cNst of cotton Is still encountered

MAN KILLED BY
 ROLLING LOG

Prattville, January S.-(Special.)-T H. Rutherford while at work at Ruth erford's saw mill. about two miles east of this city, was almost instantly killed yesterday morning at II o'clock by a sawlog rolloing off the wagon and over his body. MT. Rutherford was 59 years of age and came from Elmore county to this place a few months ago. No arrangements have been made as yet as to the funeral.
 One of the saddest features of the ac- cident Is the fact that the old father of the man was just entering the gate of the home of the dead man in this city when a messenger came from the mill with the sad news of the death of the son. It was to have been the New Years visit to the son. The father is a resident of 'Elmore county. On &C., count of the deceased being a stranger here very little can be learned of his life. Particulars of the accident also are meager.

GARROS' FLIGHT
 THRILLS CROWD

Dallas, Tex, January S.-Roland Garros furnished the thrills today at the avia- ton meeting here. First he lodged among the clouds at height estimated at 5000 feet, and finding that his baro- graph was out of commission, abandoned an attempt for an altitude record. Dart ing toward the downtown district he passed out of vision within several min utes. Minutes multiplied and the tele- phone was brought into requisition, but no tidings could be had of the aviator. Then scouting patries went out and final ly the airman was found under the lead ership of D. H. R. Green. enjoying ci- garette and standing guard over his ma chine in field three miles from the avfa- ton grounds. Approaching darkness and fast diminishing supply of gasoline made it necessary for him to land, Garros explained. In all he was aloft for an hour
 Frisbie, Barrier and Simon also made spectacular flights. The tournament will conclude tomorrow.

MRS. SCHENK GOES
 ON TRIAL TODAY

Wheeling, w. Va, January S.-(Special) Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk, wife of the millionaire pork packer. John O.. Schenk, must face trial on tomorrow for the alleged poisoning of her husband. Up to the present both defense and prosecu- ton Is equally confident of proving it's case.
 That the testimony will involve startling features is admitted on all sides. The lives of both husband and wife will be raked over by the lawyers in an attempt to prove their respective points. One of the remarkable features of the trial will hardly be called by the defense and the state cannot use him as the law does not permit man to testify against his wife.
 It is now alleged that Schenk was ad- dicted to the use of arsenic 12 years ago, and that he himself administered the drug. This statement is secuted by the prosecution, which contends it has un- disputed evidence that will involve Mrs. Schenk within network from which she cannot escape. Prosecutor Handlin has moved alone in preparing his points; he has taken no one into his confidence.
 Meanwhile the accused woman declares she loves her children and her husband and says grimly, Let the law take It's course.'
 Each side has already engaged alienists and the insanity plea may furnish as dramatic an incident as 1t did in the Thaw trial
 The trial promises to be rapid fire suc- cession of surprises; 1t certainly will in- volve several physicians whom Mrs. Schenk Is said to have visited for va- rious purposes, including information as to how to administer poison. It will also call into requisition the Schency chauffeur, who swore that Ms. Schenk offered him 5000 to run the Schenk automobile over an embankment with the owner in 1t; in addition it will call the nurses who made damaging statements against Mrs. Schenk at the time of her arrest, and 1t will involve certain young men in the town who are said to have been the recipients of Mrs. Schenk' 8 bounty.

NEW YORK BANKERS
 ARE IN TROUBLE

New York, January s.-A meeting of representatives of several large fi- nancial interests, bankers and others was held tonight at the home of Paul D. Cravath. 0 lawyer, and steps were taken to prevent the closing of the Madison Trust company (formerly the Van Norden Trust company Twelfth Ward bank, and the Nineteenth Ward bank, which together with their branches, made nine banks throughout the city. Ample capital was provided to meet all emergencies to which these banks might be sub bjected. These three institutions had former close affilia- tions with the Carnegie Trust company which closed yesterday as an indirect result of the operations of Joseph G. Robin, the fallen banker, now in prisen Among the interests represented at the conference were J. P. Morgan & Co., represented by Henry P. Davissen; Ney York Clearing House association, represented by S A. Barton Hepburn president and also president of the Chase National bank; Lawrence Phfpps. Jr., said to represent the Standard oil company; Equitable Life Assurance so- ciety, by Paui Morton. There were also present c. H. Cheney, state superinten- dent of banks: Bradley Martin, Jr., president of the Nineteenth Ward bank i; Watkins Crockett. president of the Madison Trust company; Frank B. French, president of the Twelfth Ward bank; James G. Cannon, president of the Fourth National bank; MT. Cravath and about a dozen others
 It was announced that a radical change will be made in the Madison Trust com pany, that institution being taken over by the Equitable Trust company, and that certain changes will be made in the directorate. Late tonight the following statement was given out at MT. Cravath's S house., authorized by Superintendent Che ney. "I have been in close touch with the situation in the Madison Trust com pany, Nineteenth Ward bank and Twelfth Ward bank. I have objected to certain of the assets and some of the loans. Tn my opinion 1t became necessary to consult with prominent bankers so that steps might be taken to allay public apprehen- sion that might arise after the closing of the Carnegie Trust company. As a re- suit of the conference of the bankers and others interested, I am able to an nounce that in my judgment arrange ments now have been completed that are such as to effect that result.
 "The assets to which I have objected have been taken out of the two banks and substituted with cash. The Madison Trust company Is to be acquired by merger with the Equitable Trust and ar engagements have been made with J. P. Morgan & Co.,, to provide financial as- sistance to the two banks.
 "In my opinion the result of the fore going arrangements is that these three institutions are in sound condition"

SQUAD FOLLOWS
 CAPTAIN TO ALTAR

Connellsville, Pa. January S.--"Seven, eight. nine," as the familiar gridiron sig nals were called out from the platform during an evangelist meeting here tonight by Karl Marshall, captain and quarter back of the Connellsville high school foot ball team, the backfield men, irresistbly drawn by the old cry of battle, rose one after another and joined Marshall on the platform. With faces flushed and eyes glstening. the captain then called out the numbers of the linemen. All re- sponded and in a few moments 13 football players were grouped about Marshall. One was a stranger, who had walked to the front when the number 12 was called.
 Surrounded by his teammates the cap tain briefly and simply announced his intention to lead Christian life and each of his companions made a similar state ment.
 The stranger. who had joined the oth- CTS, an athletic young man, said:
 q didn't play on the Connellsville team, but did on another and 12 was my num- Der. When l heard 1t called I had to come with the rest"

TRIAL SPECULATION
 IN STOCK MARKET Confidence Felt in the Opening
 Year MONEY IS ACCOMPANYING Trust Company Failure Has No Influ- ence on Stock Market-Supply of Capital Increase Is of Very
 Great Importance
MONEY IS RECUPERATING

New York, January S.-Stock market operations of the New Years opening week showed a tentative disposition i'll speculation. The summing up of last years record and the coming years pros- poets in numerous annual reviews had the effect of tempering hopes for the future by the remembrance of the past disap- pointments.
 Confidence in the ultimate outcome of the opening year was fairly general, but authoritative opinion showed some wide divergences over the probable period of reaction of the latter part of last year.
 Suggestions that business might still be kept within restricted limitssby spirit of caution and that necessities of the credit situation, available capital supplies and Yetrenchments of operating and pro- ducing costs were not calculated to incite fresh departures in speculation.
 Apparently some expectation had been felt that these doubtful factors might induce a degree of positive depression and the short interest remained uncovered in consequence.
 The demand to cover from this source imparted strength to the market. The measures of retrenchment and economy so generally in force, while marking halt in enter SC and progress, are recognized 
 as the correctives for what is lacking in conditions. The progress of recuperation already shows in the money market. An expanding volume of bond deals and ris- ing tendency of prices in that depart mem, give hope for better terms for new issues which must shortly become necessary. Such symptoms of replenish- ment of the supply of capital seeking in- vestment points to means of para mount importance for relief from the deadlock which had brought enterprise to a state of suspense. The further prog ress or cessation of these symptoms of the investment demand from fresh capital will be watched with keen attention for the decisive effect likely to be exercised on speculative initiative
 Failure of a local trust company yester- day was utterly without influence on the stock market which closed at best prices of the week. The embarrassment of this institution is believed to date back 10 the panic of 1907 when its position was admittedly precariouS,
