\. B. MAKES A
 DARING ASCENT

From over e-ertion, mentally and physically. due to a four hours siege eighty feet in the air, getting the A. B. weather vane from the flag pole last Saturday, Homer Banta sui fered a nervous collapse and was un- der the care of the Doctor for three hours. with his life hanging in the balance.
 Though in no condition to undertake such a hazardous task, Mir Banta deemed it his duty to make an at tempt to get it down. Building scaffoldiug to the top of the pole, saving off the pole below the vane and lowering the vane to the ground, as the pole was swaying in the wind and then to come down knocking out the scaffoldiug as he proceeded, was extremely dangerous.
 NIT. Banta was around for several hours after he had completed the job. but aside from a slight dizziness caused by the weaving of the pole, was apparently as well as yer. The cane suddenly at about nine o'clock in the evening, and for an hour and a half very grave fears were felt for his safety by his many friends.
 By midnight MT. Banta was asleep under an opiate and all doubts as to his recovery were removed. MT Ban ra has since entirely recovered.-l Haiues Pioneer Press.

COURT DEGREES
DUPONT co. IS
POWDER TRUST
FEDERAL coUR% RENDERS DE-
cIsIoN IN WHICH THE COMPANY
is DECLARED TO BE OPERATING
IN RESTRAINT OF INTERSTATE
COMMERCE IN POWDER AND
HAS MoNoPoLIzED SUCH CON-
MERcE-MUsT BE DISSOLVED.
BY Associated Press,

Wilmington, June 21.-The United
States circuit court for the district Of
Delaware today handed down a de-
cision declaring the alleged powder
trust, which is dominated by the e. I.
DUPONT deNemours Company, is a
company in restraint of Interstate COM
merce in powder and other explosives,
In violation Of section one of the Sher-
man antitrust law; that It has at
tempted to monopoliZe and has monop-
olized that part of such commerce in
section two Of the same law, and de-
creeing that the combinations shall be
enJoined from continuing the violation
and shall be dissolved.
Action against the powder trust was
begun In 1907 and was directed against
forty-three corporate and individual
defendants. The suit as to fifteen de-
PENDANTS was dismissed because some
of the concerns are out Of existnce or
not shown to be parties to combina-
tions.
The court, In an interlocutory decree,
fixed October 16 as the date to hear
both sides in the action as to the ma
ture of the Injunction to be granted
and consider the plan Of dissolving the
combination which shall be submitted
by the petitioner or defendant or any
Of them to the end that the court may
ascertain and determine upon a plan
and methods Of such dissolution which
will not deprive the defendants OF an
opportunity to re-create out Of the ele-
ments now composing the combination
a new condition which will be in har-
mony with and not repugnant to the
law.
This follows to some extent the de-
crees issued by the United States su-
preme court in the Standard OIL and
toba eco cases.
The only member Of the Dupont
family not mentioned in the suit who
was not found guilty Of violating the
law is Henry A. Dupont, United States
senator from Delaware. The court
found that since June, 1905, a year be-
| fore the suit was begun, he had re-
signed all official positions with the
companies and is not connected with
the management. There are twenty
eight defendants, companies and indi-
viduals, and all individuals, except Ed
mund G. Rucker, are directors Of the
| Dupont companies, of which Thomas
| Coleman DUPONT is president.

Washington, June 21.-President Taft
today ordered the immediate release
of w. S. Harlan, c. c. Hilton and S. e.
Huggins, officials of the Jackson Lum-
Der Company Of Lockhart, Ala, who
are now serving sentences in the At
lanta penitentiary for conspiracy to
commit peonage. The formal action
of committing the sentences and i'm
mediately remitting the fines will be
issued in a few days.
The president extended executive
clemency at the request of Senator
Fletcher, of Florida, who has been ac-
tive in their behalf for some time. 1t
is understood that President Taft be-
fore leaving Washington for New
Haven yesterday told the senator he
believed the men had been punished
enough and would order their release
after a conference with Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham. President Taft met
Wickersham in New York yesterday
and last night sent in the order to re-
lease the men.
Two others, Robert Gallagher and
w. F. Grace, convicted at the same
time for the same offense are not in
cluded IN the clemency extended the
other three. 1t is understood that
Senator Fletcher has asked President
Taft to release Gallagher and Grace
also.
The general charges against the men
were that they imported foreign la
borers from New York to the lumber
camps in Alabama and forcibly detain-
ed them there.

Washington, June 21.-The throwing
of the Democratic wool revision bill
into the senate today drove the insur-
gent Republicans in the senate into an
open coalition with the Democrats in
a. demand for a general revision of the
tariff and brought about the threaten
control of the senate. At the end of
the bitter fight a resolution by Gore
requiring the finance committee to re-
port back the wool bill before July 10
was passed, 80 to IS.
/ Western Republicans, fighting the
reciprocity measure, taking up the
challenges thrown down by Demo-
cratic leaders, followed each other in
rapid succession in ultimatums to the
senate leaders. These ultimatums
were invariably that before the reci-
procity bill is permitted to pass the
Republican senate will be forced to un-
dertake a revision of other tariff
schedules, including more than the
wooden and free list bills, which have
gone through the house. Sixteen Re-
publicans voted for the Gore reso-
luton.
AS a result Of the senate's action
Penrose called a meeting of the finance
committee for 1880 o'clock tomor-
row morning, and it is predicted that
when the senate convenes at noon the
wool measure and free list bill will be
reported adversely.
Mann attacked the Root amendment
as a violation of the Canadian reci-
procity agreement.

Chipley, Fla, June 21.-Yesterday
evening about $50 o'clock, when Dan
Carter, the tailer of Washington coun-
ty jail, went up in the cells to carry
the prisoners supper, three men, l. L.
Wh1ddon, who is under indictment for
the murder Of Sid Barfield; Lester
Harper, indicted for the murder of E.
n. Everitt, and a man by the name of
Snow, convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for eleven years for the
murder of one Boutwell,, seized the
jailer as soon as he opened the doors
and took his pistol and keys away
from him, locked him in a cell and
made good their escape, Whiddon,
however. finding that he was unable to
escape, having been in Jail about
year and being so weak from the con-
finement, after he had gotten about
half a mile from the Jail, turned and
went back to the hotel in Vernon and
surrendered.
Parties at Vernon Immediately COM
municated with the sheriff here, and
autos were secured and the sheriff and
posse left at once in an effort to
catch the men, but up to this time
they have failed and it is thought that
it will be hard to find the two who
made good their escape, as It is
thought that they are well supplied
with money, guns and ammunition.
Harper had only recently been ar
rested for the crime with which he is
charged and had been in Jail only a
short while, not having yet received
trial, his trial having been put off
at the last term of the circuit court
until the next term.
Whiddon had received his second
trial at the last term of court and
succeeded both times in making a mis-
trial, and his lawyers are now trying
to secure bond for him, he having
been refused bond after the first
trial.
Snow had Just gone through with
his second trial at the last term OF
the court, having received a new trial
at the previous term. Judge Wolfe
at the last term imposed a sentence
upon him Of eleven years, after the
jury had returned a verdict of man
slaughter; and he was in Jail while hiI
lawyers were taking steps to get e
new trial.
The general sentiment seems to bt
against these prisoners, and If they
are located It is feared that the off,
GERS will have trouble with them. This
is the first jail delivery of its kinc
which has happened in Washington
county.

The Commercial Association will en-
deakor to prevent any increase OF rail-
and water rates from eastern points to
Pensacola, or In any event TO delay the
application OF any increase until the
association may have proper time TO
make the best showing II can before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
as to why no such increase should be
permitted. This was the decision of
the conference held yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock II was subsequently
learned that the increased rates viii
probably not be made effective before
September Is. This is gratifying news
to Pensacola commercial interests as
far as II goes.
At the conference yesterday the
transportation committee Of the Com
merciaI Association was represented by
A H. Warren, chairman, who acted rs
chairman Of the conference, and w. G.
Jones. Of B. Jones e. Company w. L.
Meyer, a member Of the board OF d.
rectors, was among those present.
Others present were Max L. Bear, r.
Y Mitchell, Dave Rugelman, Max J.
Heinberg, E. Ewing Reese, Sol Levy,
Lep Meyer, /. E. Durham, and J. r.
Hull of the Consolidated Grocery Com
pany.
It was shown at the conference that,
eliminating the Mallory Lines all wa
ter rate from New York to Mobile,
Pensacola has an advantage generally
on rates from eastern points, and that
while rail- and-water rates to New Or
| leans are lower than to Mobile, Pen
| sacola's rail-and-water rates at present
| from the east are as a rule lower than
the rates to either Mobile or New Or
| leans.
| 1t was stated at the conference that
| the Mallory Line has fled no all water
rate to Mobile with the Interstate Com
merce Commission. and is therefore at
| liberty to Ak any Mobile rate II pleases,
even to the extent of quoting different
rates to different parties on the same
! trip, and II was argued from this that
| Pensacola merchants ought to main
tain a regular water service between
this port and\New York as a matter Of
self interest. This matter. however,
was not before the conference, and no
though one Of the merchants present
stated that he was making arrange
ments to have his eastern purchases
moved by schooner IL the proposed rail
and water increases go into effect on
August /, as originally intended.
The matter was finally brought to a
head by motion Of w. 9. Jones that
the Commercial Association file a pro-
test and request delay in the applica-
tion Of the proposed rates for such rea-
sonable tine as the Interstate Com
merce Commission might designate for
the Commercial Association to file for
nal protest end statement Of facts
This motion was adopted, and, on mo-
ton of r. F Mitchell, Mr.. Jones, Sol
Levy and Secretary Waterman were
appointed a committee to prepare the
formal protest for presentation to the
Interstate Commerce Commission

when the men began serving sentence,
the case was fought through the vari-

time the government won a victory
and finally TIE parties decided to COM
