Prosecution Of Trusts.

He declared that no radical change in
the Sherman antitrust law was needed,
and praised tire Supreme Court for Its re-
Gently announced chsnges in rules Of
equity procedure. Concerning the prose-
cution OF trusts the President said:
The prosecution Of trusts under the
Sherman antitrust law has gone on with
out restraint or diminution. and DEGREES
similar TO those entered In the Standard
Oil and the Tobacco cases have been
entered i'm other suits, like the suits
against the powder trust and the bath
tub trust. ! am very strongly convinced
that a steady, consistent course In this
regard, with a continuing Of Supreme
Court decisions upon new phases OF the
trust question not already finally decided
is going to offer solution of this much
discussed and troublesome issue in a
quiet. calm and judicial way, without any
radical legislation changing the govern
mental policy In regard to combinations
now denounced by the Sherman antitrust
law. / have already recommended as an
aid in this matter legislation which would
declare unlawful certain we'll known

one hand and TO give greater security TO
the stockholders against possible prosecu-
lions on the other. i believe. however,
that the orderly course Of litigation In
the courts and the regular prosecution OF
trusts charged with the violation OF the
antitrust law is producing among bust

Of the line OF distinction between business

that is to be condemned, and that In this

IL will be noticed that In no analysls
from any source as to the causes OF the
defeat in Ohio or Wisconsin has the
slightest credit been given to the Anti
Suffrage Association of Women, and vet
they themselves are claiming a large
share OF II and redoubling their efforts In
other states. Nothing is more generally
conceded by the press and the pubic than
that the defeats were due principally to
those dominating forces In politics
against which tho whole country has now
risen In rebellion. Can any explanation
be made of the fact that the proprietor
OF one OF the largest department stores In
ohio gave $1,000 10 help the anti-suffrage
workers In that state? Many of tho
women who openly fought the measure
last June In New Hampshire receive their
income from its mills. which employ
thousands of girls. In every state which
has an anti-suffrage association II will
be found that many OF It's leaders owe
their support TO what are known as
vested interests" which are opposed to
democracy and would prefer 70 limit
rather than increase the voters.

LIVE WIRE CAUSES
YOUNG BOYS DEATH

Sioux City, July 25.-Wesley Hitch
cock, 10 years old, was electrocuted
at q creamery company's plant, 613
Nebraska street, when large piece
of gas pipe which he was handling
with other men came in contact with a
live wire.
Roy Bates. engineer at the place,
saved the life of Charles Wilcox, sol
Pierce street. by prying the young
mans arm loose from the charged
pipe with a butter paddle.
The men were installing the pipe as
an exhaust for gasoline engine The
pipe was being put through hole in
the first floor to the basement. 1t was
necessary to tip the pipe on account Of
low ceiling and the insulation was
torn from an electric light wire on the
basement ceiling when the pipe struck
it.
Hitchcock and Wilvox were holding
the pipe when it took the current from
the wire. The fellow workmen made
every effort to pull the victim away.
Bates rushed in from the engine room
when he heard the cries for help and
released Wilcox, who was held by his
left arm Hitchcock was dead at that
time, 1t is Thought.
After he had been freed, Wilcox ran
to the back of the building and

iowa BECOMING
BIG wheat STATE
EXPERT SAYS WINTER WHEAT
WILL BRING ANNUAL CROP
TO 100000 BUSHELS.

Ames, July 25.-Iowa is on the way
back to place on the wheat growing
map and il it gets there, it Is likely
to be the winter wheat route.
This crop, says B. C. Burnett, expert
in cereal breeding at the Iowa State
college experiment station, is the best
money maker among all the cereals
that the Iowa farmer grows Corn Is
king, because it Is such big crop,
but in the five year period ending 1910
winter wheat brought an average an
nual return of $16.19 per acre, corn
only $15.46 and the other grains much
less. In his bulletin on winter wheat
Just issued by the experiment station
Mr.. Burnett shows graphically with
maps how the cultivation of this crop
has spread in five years from few
counties in southeastern Iowa to every
county in Iowa, thrilling it's acreage in
that period. In his five year study Of
this cereal he finds that it is regularly
outyielding spring wheat everywhere
and that the better varieties are thor
oughly adapted to the climate and soil
of the state,
Winter wheat had a hard time of it
in Iowa in the nineties and at one time
its production went down to almost
nothing. But faith in the value Of this
cereal to Iowa was kept alive at the
college experiment station. There fol-
lowed important breeding work, va.
riety tests and experiments with cul-
turea1 methods whose results are now
being given out in this new bulletin
No. 1913, to encourage further the grow
ing of this grain In this state.

utes this seed as 1t becomes available,
furnishing it free to farmers who will
cultivate 1t carefully and aid in it's
further distribution. The station has
also cleared up some of the problems
for seed bed preparation and seeding,
For instance, Mr.. Burnett in his bull
letin says that experiments show that
seed drilled will yield more than four
bushels of wheat more per acre than
seed sown broadcast. They show also
the Importance of thorough working of
the soil before seeding. Equally as
the station has worked out
a method Of including winter wheat In
the corn belt rotation, which has been
a troublesome problem in the past.
For the first time in good many
years, the wheat yield In Iowa went
beyond the 100000 bushel mark in
1910. The increasing winter wheat
crop was big factor in putting the
record over that mark The general in
terest in the crop as reported to the
experiment station indicated that win
ter wheat will also be big factor in
putting the annual wheat crop up near
the 2O,O00,000 bushel mark.

LITTLE GIRL PUTS
HAND IN PULLEY

Iowa City, July 25.-Little Agnes
Kaspar, the eight-year-old daughter Of
Henry Kaspar, living about six miles
northeast of the city, was the sufferer
from an adventure remarkable in it's
possibilities of a terrible death, and
yet which inflicted only minor injur-
les. comparatively speaking, on the
child The little girl had been sitting
on the ground in the big Kaspar barn,
watching her father and his hired men
putting up the hay. The sight of the
huge forkfuls being pulled up by ropes
and pulleys by team of horses was
all very wonderful to the little girl,
and in an unthinking moment she put
out one of her little hands to feel Of
the rope which was slowly coiling past
her as the big forkful was being car
ried upward. In seconds time her
hand had become entangled and was
slowly but surely being drawn through
the heavy pulley. Only her loud
screams saved her entire arm from
being pulled through the mangling
pulley, for the boy driving the horses
heard her and stopped the team just
in the nick of time.

OPEN UP MANY
NEW COAL MINES

Knoxville, July 25.-The develop
ment of the Marion county coal fields
is passing through an epoch making
period the like of which has not been
seen In this section of the state for
years.
Within the past week the English
Creek Coal company has begun sinking
a shaft within the Knoxville city lin
it's at point where the prospector's
drill located splendid four-foot vein
at depth of sixty feet. The work Is
under the management Of George H.
Ramsey. the Oskaloosa coal man, who
recently bought property In Knoxville
and has moved his family here.
Mr.. Ramsey is the head of the com.
pany now operating the Hawkeye ship
ping mines east of Knoxville. Switch
connections have already been made
for the latter mine, and the same will
be done in connection with the city
mine.
Near Bussey the Rex Fuel company
Is making arrangements to open new
mine in Marion county, near the Dur
fee mine, a valuable part Of their prop.
erty. The company will now sink an
entire new shaft in order to do away
with the expense and labor Of hauling
the coal under ground for distance.

admission to Canada where he was
going to visit his son, Alfred Graves,
