NEVER SPOKE DURING
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

Maysville, Ky, Jan. 13.-The
death of Louis Roser here yester-
day disclosed a family secret, which
was that absolute silence had been
maintained between husband and
wife for the past twenty-five years.
This was broken last Sunday, when
his wife asked her husband to have
cup of coffee and he replied that
he would. In a few moments he
was attacked with heart trouble, dy-
ing a short time afterward.
He willed all his vast properties to
his wife, and he asked that his body
be cremated and the ashes cast to
the winds off the Cincinnati suspen-
sion bridge. The body will be sent
to a crematory tomorrow.

ANTITRUST LAW BROKEN
BY Burnley SOCIETY
OF Kentucky Federal Ruling
On the Interstate Com
MERGE Pact.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 12.-In an
opinion handed down by Judge
Howard HOLSTER, Of the United
States District Court for the South
EN- district of Ohio. to-day, he de-
clared that contracts entered into by
the Burley Tobacco Society with
the purchasers of the pooled Burley
tobacco were in violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law in that part
which concerns interstate COM
merce
The opinion came after an argu-
ment in the suit of the Il. o. Eshel-
by Tobacco Company, of Cincinnati,
against the Burley Tobacco Society
for damages alleged to have been
sustained in the pooling and selling
of the 1907 crop of Burley tobacco
at Winchester, Ky.
In his opinion Judge Hollister
ruled that the tobacco pooled by the
Burley Tobacco Society was intend
ed necessarily for use in interstate
commerce, had always been so in
tended and subsequently was used
in interstate commerce.; that the
Burnley Society fixed a price on this
tobacco and refused to accept any
price other than the one fixed and
that this act is considered by him to
be in violation of that portion of the
Sherman antitrust law which con-
Germs interstate commerce.

VOTES TO WIN OUT

WASHINGTON, May 29,--President
Taft belief that he has enough dele
gates pledged and instructed for him
to control the national convention was
not shaken by the victory of Colonel
Roosevelt in the New Jersey primaries.
While public officials made no Official
statement, Taft leaders who saw the
president today would not recede from
the presidents own figures, made pup
speeches, which he said gave him thirty
more than necessary to nominate.
Friends Of President Taft admitted
today that much now depended upon
the Republican national committee.
They were confident, they said, that
the committee would be for Taft.
Talk of defcctions among southern
delegates pledged or instructed for Mr..
Taft was revived today, but Mr.. Taft g
political advisers professed to believe
these delegates would stick to him to
the end. 1t was positively stated that
the president IS name would be present
ed to the convention, no matter what
happened. and this would bear out the
statements he made months ago, that
nothing but DEATH would keep him out
Of the fight. Mr.. Taft is interested
now particularly in the platform, it is
said, and in the selection of man to
present his name TO the convention
