The disease is getting a firmer hold
on account of the massing of troops.

great because of the influx of refugees.

Hurry Conclusion
OF Antitrust Suits

Washington, Nov. 10.-The department
of justice is making a strenuous effort
to push as near to completion as possible
all the pending antitrust prosecutions of
the Taft administrations for President
elect Wilson and his attorney general
when they take the oath of office, March
l. The taking of testimony in most of
the suits will have been completed, Ii is
believed, and the cases be before the
courts for decision before the Republican
administration expires.
While the issues have been joined in the
two biggest pending cases--the suits
against the Steel and Harvester Trusts
it is not thought they will be ready for
decision by March 4. The Steel suit
probably will extend well into the new
administration. but officials foresee the
end of the testimony and arguments in
the Harvester case by April or May.
Several of the suits against Retail
Lumber Dealers Associations, regarded
as among the most important cases be-
cause they involve the extent of the
rights of the ''middleman, will in all
probability be ready for determination
by the courts before President Taft re-
tires.

Princeton, Nov. 10.--Woodrow Will

and aid were asked for the future

of his day. He is the sort of man they

NO INCREASE
In the Price Of Coal on
Part of the Producers.
They Admit Production Is Be-
hind That OF Last Year
But, with Moderate Purchases,
Should Be Enough for All.

New York. Nov. 10-Because of the
uneasiness as to the supply of an
thracite and the fact that some con-
sumers are complaining that an alb
normally high price is asked for coal,
the committee of opera tors, today, is
sued a statement in which they say:
The larger mining companies are
holding absolutely to their circular
prices. They have not advanced these
to the dealers to whom they sell and
have no intention of doing So By far
the greater part of the total anthra-
cite output Is being sold by the orig
inal producers at the circular price ;"
The statement concludes:
"The operators are convinced that,
though this years production is be-
hind last years, consumers will not
suffer for want of coal if they will
content themselves with moderate pur-
chases for the time. and not attempt
to lay in a large store in advance and
thus create an artificial scarcity"
