FEATS OF HORSEMAN-

Prarie-bred Animals and
Thoroughbreds.
On the occasion of his farwell
visit to White River Junction Col.
Cody and Major Lille have deter
mined to give a compendium of
everything attained up to date in
the line of horse and rider.
Ofthe many distinctive features
which the Wild West and Far East
claims for its own, the presence of a
group of western range horses.
trained to perfection, only attained
by the thoroughbred of the circus
ring is most noteworthy attraction.
Some idea of the task of subduing
the descendants of the wild horses of
the plains can best be imagined when
one compares the graceful move
ments and skillful feats of trained
animals with the antics of the buck
ing bronchos which appear in the
same arena.
The fractious steeds born to the
freedom of the praries do not easily
submit to the curb and bride of the
cowboy, let alone to the master hand
of the trainer who would convert
them to the aptness of thorough
bred in performing the high school
feats and fancy steps and figures.
But Ray Thompson has trained these
horses to respond to his every COM
mand and perform graceful feats
without any punishment or urging
on the part of their riders.
All these feats will be seen when
the Buffalo Bill shows come to White
River Junction June l3.

SHERMAN
LAW UPHELD
Packers Attack on Act is
Defeated.
MEN MUST STAND TRIAL
Important Decision by Federal Court
Likely to Affect All the Trust
Litigation in the
Country.
MEN MUST STAND TRIAL

Chicago, May l3-The demurrers Of
the Chicago packers in the "beef trust
= case were overruled yesterday by Judge
Carpenter in the United States district
court. In his ruling, Judge Carpenter
declared that the Sherman antitrust
law. which had been attacked by the
packers, is constitutional He also held
that the indictment charging J Ogden
Armour and other packers with violat-
ing its provisions, is valid.
Judge Carpenters decision may have
an indirect bearing ON all antitrust litl-
CATION in the United States, in uphold
ing the completeness and stability OF
the Sherman act. OF this feature, the
court said;
"The statute has been the subject Of
discussion for twenty years. The SUI
preme court of the United States many
times has sustained DEGREES which re-
strained violations Of it," The packers
had based their demurrers in part on
assertion that the act did not define
a crime, nor provide legal and consti-
tutional means OF correcting the abuses
in accordance with designs to controls;
the decision directly denied this assump-
tion. They also claimed that the act
did not define the misdoing in terms
that would enable the defendant to know
in advance that such performances as
it condemned were illegal OF this point
Judge Carpenter said: u am of the opin-
ion that the supreme court of the United
States has determined that sections IL
and 10 of the Sherman act define with
sufficient accuracy the offences therein
enumerated"
The court says: II am of the opinion
that the facts stated in the indictments
show clearly a plan or scheme organ
lied and put in operation by the defend
ants, the ultimate purpose OF which was
to control the production, sale and dis
tribution of fresh meat throughout
large section of this country; and, as
incidental to that control to lower prices
to the consumer of the finished product.
While the facts do not disclose an abso-
lutte monopoly, yet the large percent
age Of the business which they control
indicates that they intended to acquire
at least commercial monopoly"
Judge Carpenter overriding the de-
murrers said he did not think the trial
could he held before fall May II, the
packers will appear and plead to the
charges or file petition for bill OF
particulars. Governoment attorneys
question their right to ask such bin
after the action yesterday, but that will
be decided in the session May H.

three succeeding rounds but Mcfarland
blocked his leads and continually put

Coincident with the announcement Of
Mr. Dickinson's retirement came that
OF the appointment of @ s. Mllington
Of Herkimer, H. ", TO be assistant
treasurer Of the United States at New
York Mr. Stimson was the Roosevelt
candidate for governor while Mr. Mil
lington was former member Of the
House from the 9th New York dis
trict, and is close friend Of Vice
President Sherman and other leaders of
the old guard in the state, having sue
cceded Mr. Sherman in the House when
the latter became vice president
In the two appointments official
Washington found food for specula
ton and many politicians thought
they saw the first steps Of the admin
istration to straighten out the tam
gled skein Of New York politics.
The president not only has the high
est personal regard for Mr.. Stimson
but he is also well aware that the
appointment viii be acceptable to a
large faction of the Republican party
in New York While the selection was
made only after few days considers
tion, Senator Root and other leaders
were consulted and gave it their I'M
qualified approval
Former President Roosevelt was net
called into conference, but there is no
question that he must approve the nam
ing to such an important post of a
man for whom he worked tooth and

The position of assistant treasurer
at New York which has been given to
the Sherman Barnes Woodruff faction,
while not so important as this given
to the Roosevelt Parsons faction, is be
heyed to be move in the direction Of
peace Friends of the president were
pleaed over the political outlook
Unotficially Washington discussed the
resignation OF the secretary of war
Unofficially also there were those who
found other reasons than that given in
his letter
Mr.. Dickinson is Democrat. His
presence in the cabinet of Repubfi-
can president has not been looked up
