pelled by alleged unlawful agreements to buy lumber from retailers at much greater prices than they would have paid to wholesaler.
 But the United States government, the bill says, has never been black listed in that class There wholesalers and retailers in joint convention have classified the consumers "a proper and improper" trade and have pre- pared blacklists.
 'The result of this illegal opera tion,' says the governments bill, 'has sale dealer and manufacturer to the consumer in all parts of the United States and to deprive the wholesaler of the trade of a consumer in a territory covered by a retailer except through the medium of the retail yard"
 The Eastern States association was organized in 1902 when the retail or ganizations then existing in the states mentioned became constituent mem bers.
 "BOston Agreement"
 The government charges that the re- tailers had before that time, however. arranged with the National Whole salers' association to classify the trade, and the so-called Boston agreement" was made, resulting in the bylaws of the National Wholesale Lumber Deal CTS association being changed to con- tdln tle lollOW1ng prOV1S1On:
 Whenever it shall be determined
 that any person or firm or corporation is not legitimate cus- toner for the wholesale trade accord ing to the principles recognized by this association as best conserving the lum- Der business, the members shall not thereafter sell to such person, firm or corporation"
 The government alleges that at sub- sequent Joint meetings in Baltimore and Pittsburg this was modified to admit arbitration of disputes as to classification, but that its tenor and effect always remained the same
 In March, 1906, the government cites, there was a convention of whole salers Tn Washington, at which, it is alleged, an important report was pre- sented. Of this report the followisg IS quoted in the governments bill:
 we are all in favor of high prices the status of a poacher' Ca retailer who competed for business in the ter r1tory. of another) and keep it fixed. His place should be with the 'scalper' la retailer who sells at wholesale pr1ces) and the i1legitimate dealer wherever he may be found. The mar roWness of such a view will be pointed out and the most mean and acrimoni- ous cry against it will come from the operator who is selling wherever he can and to whoever he pleases, seem- 1ngly without reason and always with out care as to custom or channel for distribution. He is maverick, roam ing at will over our land, drinking of the clearest stream and feeding in the best pastures. He must be caught and branded. No association should per- init him mem mbership and no individual should at any time or under any con- d1t1on permit trading with him, neither buying nor selling, and, simple as the. process may seem, you may depend upon 1t, if applied, his will be a short shrift."

HAS LONG BEEN DUE.
Government Has Spent Much Cash
 on Investigation.

Chicago, May 19.-The govern ment's suit filed in New York to-day against the lumber trust reveals the extent to which the department of ing methods of the so-called trust in the middle west during it's search for violations of the antitrust law.
 It became known to-day that for several months secret agents from Washington have been working in s1ppi and in Illinois and Michigan as we'll as in the eastern territory cov- cred by the New York suit, taking statements of dealers and examining books and records of the associations which are said to control the trade. e The western organizations investi- gated are reported to be the North western Retail Lumber Dealers asso- citation at Minneapolis, the Western Retail Lumbermen's association at Spokane. Southwestern Lumbermen's association at Kansas City, Mo-, Re- tail Lumber Dealers association of Colorado and Wyoming, at Colorado Springs, Colo, Michigan Retail Lum- Der Dealers association at Grand Rapids, Mich, Lum mbermen's associa- tfon of Texas, at Houston, Tex, and the Retail Lumbermen's association of Illinois at Chicago
 Some of the dealers claim that many of the associations having to do with particular lines of lumber as we'll as local clubs. exchanges and '1ine" yards have been under the close scrutiny of government agents.
 The question is the same as in the New York suit, involving the right of the consumer to deal with whom he chooses.
 A particularly bitter war has been waged in the middle west by retail CTS associations upon manufacturers and wholesalers who have been sell ing direct to the consumer through mail order houses, contracting build CTS and farmers cooperation unions. Several years ago about Is members of the Northwestern Lumbermen's association were indicted in the United States court at Minneapolis charged with conspiracy in connection with the campaign of the Chicago retails against the mail order houses. The indictments were dismissed upon technical grounds.

Hot Weather
 Breeds Bees
 For President
(Special from United Press.l

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, May 20.-Hot wealth CT in Washington breeds Presidential bees in great swarms, according to political observers here, today, who declared that seldom so far in ad- vance of an election has the capital seen such active agitation.
 At the headquarters of Speaker Champ Clark close tab is being kept on the movements of Governor Wil- son, of New Jersey, on it's western trip, and the Harmon organization IS keeping the Ohio governor we'll in the forefront.
 That President Taft is carefully planning to go after the Republican nomination is freely admitted. The fact that the LaFollette boom is un- der way and the activity of the pro- gressive Republican League against Taft has made it necessary for the Presidents friends to begin work early.
 Both the Taft and LaFollette ad- herents claim the support of Colonel Roosevelt At the White House it is said that T. R. and Taft are in har- mony. About LaFollette's head quarters it is declared that the Col onel will be actively with the prog ressives.

That an uncle and nephew who vers on opposite sides of the Civil Wa have just been made known to each other. and that a. presentation watch. sent to a. Union colonel by his father in-law during the progress of tHs war, has finally reached It's owner. are two of the many remarkable ef- fects of the story by DT. George L.

 This story was published in the following letters tell of this very re- markable after-effect of Dr. Porter's story:

 Care Columbian Magazine Pub. CO, Dear Sir:-
 I refer to your interesting article in the Easter Columbian, How Booths Body was Hidden" and write to inquire if you by chance know H. T. Burnett, shown in the reproduced photograph on page 67 of the maga- zine. My father and brother, Confed- crates, had a brother H. L. Burnett in the Union army, of whom we have heard nothing since the close of the war. My Father and brother are both dead, but there has passed into my pOSSSSSlOH d WAUGH III ID scribed "To H. L. Burnett, Mai 2nd Ohio Cavalry, from Hon. B. F. Hoff- man." My Uncles name was Henry L. Burnett and I thought it possible that there was Tnisprint on page s7 and the name should be H. l.. instead of H. T.
 If you happen to know of this party or can direct me to the proper source of information, shall appreciate the favor very much.
 Hoping to hear from you soon, remain, Yours very truly

 My Dear Mir. Porter:
 Your favor of the 18th enclosing letter of c. A. Burnett was duly re- ceived.s The matter grows quite fD- teresting. I have no knowledge of any relative of my name having seTv- ed in the Confederate army. Hon B. F. Hoffman was my father-fn-1aw. He resided at Warren. Trunnbul1 Co. Ohio, and for several years was judge of the common pleas court: When Da. vid c. Tocd was elected Governor of Ohio, I think in 1882, he appointed Judge Hoffman his private secretary. In earlier days they had been law partners at Warren. Judge Hoffman may have sent me watch while was in the field, and the watch may have gone astray en route. Are you to be at the Loyal Legion banquet May 3rd? Thanking you for your cour- tesy, believe me.
 Very truly yours

 I have to acknowledge receipt of your kind favor Of the Z5In 1nst-s W1IH reference to the Hon. H. l.. Burnett and I am this day writing to him at the address which you so kindly fuT- nished. When we know just how we stand in the matter of relationship I will gladly communicate with you Thanking you for the interest you have taken in the matter and the in- formation you have given me. I am, Yours very truly,
 c. A. BURNETT As told in The Farmer yesterday, the silver watch has been sent to Mir. Burnett, and apparently, he and his nephew have thus been made known to each other. The particulars Of the return of the watch have been made public through the press, but Dr. Por- ter is awaiting letters from the Bur netts, which will tell more details of the affair.
 Incidentally it may be remarked that Dr. Porter is preparing another story of civil War days which will be replete with interesting facts, hitherto untold of the events surrounding Lees surrender.
 To replace the priceless collection of lantern slides destroyed in transit from the Columbian magazine, the company has furnished Dr. Porter with another set even better than the first The photographs. very fortunate ly, had been preserved.

PAVING WORK
BEGAN WELL On
YESTERDAY
FIRST WORK ON LAMAR ST.
No Interruption Anticipated
Until Completion Of Work

Yesterday was a notable day in the
history of Americus, for it marked the
beginning of the paving work that is
destined to be such strong factor in
making Americus a modern munich
pality.
The interest with which citizens of
all ages watched the big traction plow
yesterday, as it's steel tooth gnawed its
way into the hard surface of Lamac
street preparatory to the grading of
that thoroughfare for paving, was an
indication of how wide the public in
terest is in the completion of this
much needed improvement.
Bright and early the squad began
it's work on the streets, so that before
noon the surface of Lamar street be-
tween Lee and Jackson had been brok-
en- into bits, and the work of grading
away the surface had been gotten un-
der way. This is only the first step
toward placing the wood block paving
After the surface has been removed to
sufficient depth, and thoroughly lev
eled and packed, a layer of concrete
about four inches thick will next be
placed. After this has been given
about week to harden, the wood
blocks will be laid carefully and reg
ularly on this concrete base, after I
layer of sand about an inch thick has
been placed upon it. The leveling and
thorough arranging of these blocks II
position, with the sitting of layer oi
sand over the entire street, forms the
Hast stage of placing the pavement
In leveling the blocks a traction en-
gine will be brought into use.
While the work done yesterday is
only the preliminary work to be done
in the paving campaign, it is propos-
ed to keep things going at a lively rate
henceforward until the work shall
have been completed.

Stole, BUT GAVE
LOOT TO CHARITY
Wanted the Applause of His
Fellow Men

New York, August 2S-The story of
an embezzling bookkeeper, who got
away with $4,000 of his employers
money and gave almost every cent Of
it to charity, was disposed when Rich
ard Pacharz, 3S years old, was arraign-
ed before Judge Swami for sentence.
Pacharz was employed by Harris
Bros. & Barnett, manufacturers of
white goods, SAG Broadway. His thiey-
ing extended over four or five years.
H was indicted and pleaded guilty
IN part l, General Sessions, before
Judge Swami.
1t seems Pacharz was possessed Of
an ambition to be prominent in social
orders. The defendant wrote a letter
to the judge pleading that he had been
possessed of a madness to gain social
distinction and it had induced him to
steal.
Barnett said friends had made par
tial restitution in the sum of 5000 and
that his firm would take Pacharz
back, knowing he will make good the
balance. He then asked that the court
suspend sentence.
The friends you made spending
your employers money" said the
court, were of two kinds. Some stand
by you, some have disappeared. I'm
going to give you a hance to repent.
One month in the Tombs," said the
judge.
