to the main and Range street. This
extension will nearly reach Garfield

Trusts to be Prosecuted.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The coffee
trust, the steamship trust and other
concerns which are charged with max.
ing Illegal trade agreements abroad
and carrying out their effects in the
United State will, 1t is said today,
be prosecuted by the department of
justice, probably under the anti trust
sections OF the Wilson tariff act OF
1894, which contains five sections de-
signed to meet Just such cases.
The Wilson law provides that any
persons or corporations who import
commodities to the United States and
com bine to restrain trade agresm snts
made outside of the couu.ry, may
be fined or i'm prisoned and the imports
may be confscated by the governmept.
Decisions OF the courts regarding the
applica bility of the Sherman law to
com bi ations conserved outside the
United States probably will force the
government to fall back on the Wilson
act in these particular cases and Others
which are similar.

ed.
For eight or ten years such cases
have been on the increase and within
two years the increase among the
younger officers has been alarming.
The matter was discussed at a meet

of theories were advanced to account
for the tendency.
1t is alleged that many cases OF
mental breakdown are caused by the
unfortunat manner and methods OF
enforcing discipline by commanding
