There is no necessity for al
owing brood mares to skip pro
ucing for d year merely because
hey fail to get in foaI during the
Usual spring breeding season
Iany Of those that are evidentl,
IOt in foal may be bred thi,
month. 1t is the best time of the
year for fall breeding. as it bring,
he foals late enough to escape
most of the agony from flies anc
blows them to complete a sucking
period of the usual length by tho
line pastures are green in the
,pring. The chief objection t.
TALL foals is that the mare and foai
must be sheltered and fed grain
the first winter. No mare will
give an adequate supply of mill
on dry rough feed alone. Bul
the mare must be kept anyway
and the extra grain required while
she is nursing a foal is partly
offset by the smaller amount OF
grain demanded by the fall coli
during the second six months OF
it's life. In any case a colt mus,
receive good care during its first
winter, and it is nearly as conven-
lent to care for mare and her
young foal as to look after a
weanling colt. The fall colt has
conditions more favorable al
weaving time than in the case with
the spring colt that must be put
on dry feed very soon after wean.
ing. 1t is doubtless true that un.
der average care spring colts are
more desirable property and have
more promise of making big
horses, with liberal feeding there
is no great obstacle to production
and satisfactory development Of
Wall colts.

New York, Nov. i6.-Four nun
bred persons, for the most part No

protest against lynching, held I'M
der the auspices of tie National
Association for the Advancement OF
the CoIored People, at which 500
was pledged toward a fund OF 81
100000 to pay the expenses OF an
investigation Of the lynching prob
lem in the south. Oswald Garrison
presided.
The Rev. John Jaynes Holmes,
pastor of the Church OF Messiah
(Unitarian), of this city, in the
course of his remarks, said
"The time has come when an
other battle like that of so years
ago must be fought again; when
the north must do its duty and save
the south again, the negro now
more than ever, is entitled to ms
freedom, and a battle for liberty
must be fought over again"
DR.. Holmes discussed the Amerl-
can people, "the most lawless of any
people in the civilized world" In
speaking of lynching, he said:
"A little while ago these crimes
were confined to the southern
states; now no commonwealth from
Pennsylvania to Oregon and from
Massachusetts, to Mississippi is free
from the crime Of lynching."

BEEF BARONS HAVE
ALAST SURPRISE
Come In With Habcas Corpus
Proceedings and VIII Carry Their
Point TO the Supreme Court of
the United States.

Chicago, Nov. i6.--Announeement
has been made that the Chicago
meat packers have taken steps, in
their petition for writ of habeas
corpus, to carry their fight directly
before the United States Supreme
court, without the delay or cost Of
a trial. The meat packers, in their
writ. have petitioned the validity
of the Sherman act.
The fight to be conducted in this
matter will be purely an argument
of the law The question is not the
guilt or innocence Of the meat pack
crs, but the conslitutionality of the
sherman law. according to the at
torneys for the packers, and they
explain their situation thus:
The Supreme court, in the to-
bacco and oil cases, converted the
Sherman law into an illegal enact
ment, since the court, by placing
each individual or corporation on
standard of its own, built up on
its peculiar individual acts, took
away from all individuals the pos
sibility of knowing how their acts
were to be viewed by a jury sin the
light of reason" that this obscurity
of definition of what constituted
crime was contrary to the eighth
amendment of the federal constitu-
ton.
In short, the petition, the attor-
neys say, charges the Supreme
court Interpretation with multiplying
the Sherman law in spite of the
courts action in ordering the disso-
luton of the American Tobacco
Company and the Standard Oil
Company.
The packers charge that the law
lis a violation of the fifth. sixth and
eighth amendments to the consti-
tuition. Attorney John S. Miller
for the packers, says the Sherman
law is met large enough TO catch
all possible offenders and leaves il
to the courts to step in and say
who can rightfully be detained and
who set at large"

PUTS A STING
IN TRUST LAW
Imprisonment for Offenders to Be
Written Into Sherman Act
Henry bf Texas VIII In
tr0duce Bill In Congress.

Washington, Nov. i6.-"Felons'
stripes" as punishment for trust
criminals in the United States to
end commercial piracy under be-
nevolent rules of reason" are
proposed in a bill amending the
sherman Antitrust law drafted by
Representative Robert l.. Henry OF
Texas, to be introduced in the
House upon the opening of congress
next month. It's introduction prob
ably Will mean its passage in the
House.
The bill specifically defines just
what constitutes a trust, legislates
from the present statute the rule
of reason" as interpreted by the
Supreme court in the Standard Oil
and Tobacco decisions, and pro-
vides as punishment for violation
Of the law Imprisonment from two
to 10 years in the penitentiary. 1t
will be referred to the judiciary
committee for elaboration.
Only Trust Cure, Henry Believes.
Representative Henry, who has
been comforting with Representa-
tive Clayton of Alabama, chairman
of the committee, and other Dem
Iocratic leaders, completed the draft
of the proposed changes in the
much-discussed statute today. In
explaining his bill, Representative
Henry declared that actual impris-
onment of great industrial offenders
was essential to a cure for the trust
evil, and that a law to be rigid,
must of necessity define a trust to
leave no room for controversy.
MY BILL" said Mr.. Henry, "nu-
lifies the alterations written into
the Sherman Antitrust act by the
Iunwarranted and purely legislative
decision of the Supreme court in
the Standard Oil and Tobacco trust
cases of last spring. That is, the
bill legislates the rule of reason
out of the law and it defines spe-
officially what a trust is, so that
there can be no room for contro-
versy. 1t makes the violation of
this law felony with imprison-
mept for not less than two years
nor more than 10 years.
Can't Apply Chinese Penalty.
Fines and dissolutions seem 70
be child's play for the trust mag
mates. Felons' stripes, where the
violation is knowingly or willfully
done, will prove a potential remedy
for those fragrant acts of CONNER
cial outlaws. The Chinese anti
trust law provided: Those who in
terrupt commerce are to be be-
headed To behead such offenders
in our country would be entirely
loo extreme, nut TO compromise
with a penitentiary sentence and
felons' stripes as a punishment is
mild and should be administered to
trust criminals in the United States.
My bill justly exempts members
of organizations or associations not
for profit and without capital
stock, and also agricultural pro
ducts or live stock in the hands of
the producer or raiser The first
exemption as to labor was intended
in the original legislation, and the
second as to agricultural products
and live stock is found in some
state laws. These exemptions are
right and should be made"
