La Toilette Sensational.
Senate Calls Investigation.

Washington, July 27. Following an attack by Senator Borah of Idaho upon the enforcement of the sherman antitrust law, the senate yesterday adopted a resolution of fered by Senator Clapp of Minneso- la, calling for an investigation into the operation of the law 10 deter- mine what changes or amendments are necessary to make it an ade- quate protection against unlawful monopolies and trusts. Tn his ar raignment Senator Borah declared the law was either a failure, or else there had been the most remark able trifling with the execution of the law that had ever been noted since law was first placed on the statute books to be regarded and obeyed by man. MT. Reed criticised the Supreme court for giving the Standard Oil Company after it had been adjudged a criminal, six months to devise a new way to vi- olate the law"

PENSION INCREASES
Arkansas State Board Meets Soon to Consider Applications of
 Old Soldiers.

Little Rock, July 26.--About half
 the counties of Arkansas have now
 turned in their Confederate pension
 Iists and on the first Monday in Aug
 ust the state pension board, com
 losed of Auditor John R. lobe, Sec retary of State Hodges and Gen. J. r. Smith, commander of the U. c. V. of Arkansas, will meet and go over
 each application. In former years there has been an increase i'll the number of pensioners, and from the returns so far received, there would be another increase this year, the new applications exceeding the vacancies caused by the death of veterans during the biennial period Such a condition will hardly exist however, as unofficial reports from lihe remaining counties indicate a falling off there. With such a con- dition as this, the zenith of the state pension list will have been reached and each year i'll the future the board can look forward to de- creasing number. Such a condition will mean more for each pensioner as the division is based upon the number participating, and in addit- ion to this the increase of revenue to be raised each year will make the amount to be divided considerably larger.

BROKE THE HIGH COST OF LIVING
nes Moines Council Goes After Gro cers' Combine and People Cause a Riot to Buy at Bargain
 Prices.

Des Moines. la, July 26.--A lively scramble, participated in by more than three thousand Des Moines consumers, marked the establish- ment here today of a permanent
 market place to combat the high cost of living. Police had to be called in to preserve order.
 Following several weeks of inves- tigating prices the city officials turned the city hall over to the veg etable and farm produce vendors, Nearly half a hundred hucksters were lined up on the plot and the rush of consumers who had tired of grocery combine prices began at ( o'clock this morning. By s o'clock the hucksters had sold out.
 Al the beginning of the campaign lprices were obtained from towns in the middle west from Chicago to Topeka, including Kansas City, Comparison showed that the prices I'm Des Moines were considerably higher than those in most cities, es- pecially in places having public market houses. In many of these latter places the cost of produce was from 25 to 50 per cent lower than | in Des Moines.
 The demand for a market place arose. Methods by which a high scale of prices had been maintained | in the city were exposed. The city council was induced to adopt res ] Iolution setting aside a site for the opening of trial market. The city owned no structure available for a
 market house, and the city hall lawn was assigned temporarily. To- lday's formal opening is step in
 the plans of the city council for one of the finest market houses in the
 country. An ordinance already has
 been drawn for an appropriation. 4 comparison of prices of produce
 as sold at the market place and as l quoted by the grocers this morning shows the reason the purchasers were satisfied. The list follows: A,

H-year-0ld Boy Finds No Mercy In Justice Court--Is Convicted on Testimony of Men Who
 Ate the Luscious Fruit.

Fort Smith. July 2d Suppose you had been tempted hy someone to climb a high fence ard inspect shs choice products Of . water melon patch, and suppose you had selected one of the longest, pse.a- est, heaviest melons, ahd had started down the road with the prize under your arm, and sup pose two men who had been watch ing you started in pursuit, causing you to take flight and drop your
 long green" wouldn't il make you
 mad if the two men should stop and pick up your hard earned fruit, eat 1t clear down 10 the rind, and then appear in court as witnesses against you and cause you to be fined S20 in the bargain? Wouldn't st make you mad?
 Those are the circumstances surrounding a case tried before Justice Fishers court yesterday. Ben Hassler, a lad of ii, living on the Texas road south of Fort Smith was the defendant. According to the testimony. Ben tad been seen to enter the patch, and start down the road with a watermelon under his arm. Will Eads and Mir. Wal ton, who had been watching pro- ceedings, start.d in pursuit, and Ben dropped his melon, breaking if in tive. The two pursuers picked up the broken fruit, abandoned the chase. after recognizing the boy. and proceeded 10 do away with the evidence. The Hassler boy was arr rested by Constable Will Manness and brought to Fort Smith Monday evening. Both Ieggett Moore, who owned the watermelon patch, and Manness appeared Ill court yester- day against the boy, and both asked the court for clemency in the boys behalf, stating that 1t was their be- lief that the boy had been tempted to trespass by an older companion.
 After hearing the evidence, Jus tiee Fisher imposed a nominal fine and costs as penalty upon the de- feniant.

OKLAHOMA FIGHT
 ON PROHIBITION
Encouraged by Texas Results, Ef- fort Will Be Made by Local Option Advocates 10 Change Liquor
 Laws of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma City, July 26.-A fight on prohibition in Oklahoma is to be started at once by the local option association of the state, of which Frank Stearns of Shawnee is presi- dent. The work of obtaining the necessary 65,00 signers to the pe- tition for vote on the question was begun today. Stearns has just made a tour of the state and says the plan Of the association met with general approval wherever he explained it.
 The local option association will have help from outside the state. On the other hand the probibitionists of the state are in a weakened condi- ton financially. having just fought the opposition in the last state elee- ton. Had statewide prohibition carried in Texas it is not believed that local option associations petit tons would have been circulated at this time. The plan is, if the pro- hlhitory section Of the constitution IS repealed. that the legislature shall enact laws to regulate the sale of liquor in the state, preferably local option laws.
 Both sides are preparing for the hardest fight that has ever been waged Tn Oklahoma on any question.

LAFOLLETTE WINS
 IN WOOL TARIFF
WISCONSIN SENATOR SUCCEEDS IN HAVING SENATE REJECT
 THE HOUSE BILL.
Tariff Schedule on Wool Lowered 35 Per Cent ny New Measure Trickcry Is Charged to High
 Protection Republicans.

Washington, July 27.-The com
 promise wool bill, offered by Sena-
 tor La Toilette, a modification of
 both his own and the house bills, was passed by the senate, IS to g, through a union of the Democrats and Republican insurgents. The measure adopted reduces the raw
 wool duty 8 per cent ad valorem land correspondingly reduces the lduties on wooden articles. There is some doubt as to what course house Democrats will pur- sue with regard to the compromise Ibill. Mir. Underwood, house leader, several days ago served notice that | the house would moi accept the original La Toilette bill.
 Although President Taft has made no definite utterance to that effect, it has been strongly inti- lmated al the White House that he knight veto any bill passed before the tariff board report schedule is presented.
 The Underwood house wool tar iff bill was defeated, fl to 36. Ex- cept for Senator Brown of Nebras-
 ka, who voted for the bill. the vote was along strictly party lines.
 La Toilette Sensational. Senator La Toilette startled the senate today when he declared he
 had heard there was to be little performance today to defeat all real tariff legislation" and that a number of high protection Republi-
 cans had agreed to vote for the
 Democratic house wool bill, sure
 that it's excessively low duties
 would justify veto by the presi-
 dent.
