ANTITRUST SUITS
WILL HE RUSHED


WASHINGTON. Nov. 13-The de-
partment of justice is making a strenu-
Gus effort TO push as near to a close
as possible all the pending antitrust
prosecutions Of the Taft administration.
The taking Of testimony in the suits
will have been completed, II is said,
and the cases be before the courts for
decision before the Republican ad-
ministration expires.
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 "middlemen" in commerce, in
all probability will be ready for deter
mination before President Taft retires.
While the taking of testimony in the
civil suit for the dissolution of the
Am erican Sugar Refining company is
approaching conclusion, it is reported
that Attorney General Wickersham
will not retry the criminal sugar case,
which resulted in a disagreement of
the jury.
Among the important issues which
may likely go over into the Wilson
administration for final preparation for
the courts are the suits against the
National Cash Register company, the
motion picture trust" several alleged
steamship pools" and the United Shoe
Machinery company.
The president, it is understood, will
allow no cessation in the prosecution
of his antitrust policy. A number of
| Investigations now under way will be
completed. The most important pend
ing inquiries are those to determine
whether there has been any violation
of the decree dissolving the Standard
Oil company and whether the American
Telephone and Telegraph company is
a trust violation of the Sherman law

YOUNG ASTOR MAY
SPLIT UP ESTATE

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The entail
which has tied up since 1872 one-half
of the Astor estate will be broken next
Friday, November Is, at the coming Of
age of William Vincent Astor, eldest
son and chief heir of Colonel John
Jacob Astor, who perished in the tt
tanic disaster.
Young Astor, the hour he is 81, can,
if he wishes, lawyers say, break the
entail and convert his half of the $780,
600, 900 Astor estate, or any part of it,
into stocks and bonds if he chooses; or
he can turn it into cash and invest it
all abroad. The entail on the other half
Of the estate, now held by William
Waldorf Astor will lapse on the death
of that expatriated American. On the
other hand, each can entail his share
OF the estate through the lives of his
children. Two lives, under the Ameri- :
can law, is the limit of entail
The original John Jacob Astor left
s2O,0O0,000 in property to his son, Will
liam B. Astor, who divided it between
his own sons, John Jacob and William
The second John Jacob Astor, when he
passed away in 1890, will his share to
William Waldorf and the William Just
mentioned, who passed on in 1892,
decided his share to his son, John
Jacob.
Vincent Astor has as yet given 10
sign, his friends say, to what extent
he will re-establish the Astor system
of primogeniture and entail.

Afternoon Ten Mt Washiucfon

New York World: Two orders issued
by the treasury department have given
Washington a thrill life along her
streets, and in all her parlors. One
authorizes the ladies' of the department
to have tea in the afternoon just as
do the diplomatists of the state office
The other permits gentlemen of the
treasury when travelling to draw on
the public funds for as much as a dol
lar week to have their trousers
creased
Though these things seem as trifIes
to the dwellers in crowded centers OF
strife or on lonely farms remote from
culture, they are not trifles to those
who either live in Washington or board
there for the winter The relations o,
government to society, spelled with
capitals, are not understood in the
provinces Only in Washington are
they felt and studied and revered. A
cup of tea or crease in the trousers
leg are nothing in themselves, but
when officially recognized they become
symbols of "class " unmstakable and
uplifting.
Society in Washington has lont.
wished to establish the custom of serv-
ihB Tea on tne terrace at the capitol
as 1t is served on the terrace of Par
lament House in London. The estab-
lishment Of such a function would ct
once assert the intimacy of society and
government Ladies could interest
themselves in politics without going in
to the lobby. Congressman would be
brought within the refining influences
of feminine society. There would be
a mutual benefit. Such are the virtues
of official tea.

TUBERS IN DANGER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Thousands
of bushels of potatoes are in danger
of destruction as q result of the car
shortage. An exchange of kilograms
between the interstate commerce com
mission and the principal roads carry
ing the enormous potato crop of Mime
sofa and Wisconsin shows that the rail
roads are doing everything in their
power to handle the bumper crop, but
that they have not enough cars. AL
though many new cars have been bull.
for the lines affected within the last
year, the storehouses OF Wisconsin ant
Minnesota are bulging with potatoes
and thousands of bushels are freezing
in the fields because there are no cars
to move them and no room for them
in the warehouses. The potato crop
this year is the greatest in the history
of the United States. 1t aggregate:
41O.000,000 bushels. Last year the croI
amounted to 293,OO0,OOO bushels.

CaulifIOwer Salad

Cauliflower is popular as salad
1t demands rather more seasoning than
some other vegetables and is best with
a French dressing. Arrange on a broad
dish bouquets of cold boiled cauliflowel
on a bed of watercress or crisp let
tuce.
For the dressing use one-half a tea
spoonful of dry mustard, a dash Of
cayenne, one teaspoon of curry pow
der, a very small Glove of garlic and
one tablespoon of chives chopped very
fine, one-half saltspoon Of paprika, one
tablespoon of parsley and one-half a
lemon, rind and all, chopped fine, one
hail teaspoon of salt. Mix all well to-
gether with a fork, adding six table
spoons of olive oil and two tablespoons
of cidar vinegar. This sauce Is bet

STATES YIELD OF FRUIT
500 CARS ABOVE 1911

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 13.-Though
California's Tokay grape crop this
year fell far short of the average be-
cause Of an unusually dry season, 9TH
duced SO we'll this season that ship
ments promise to run at least soc cars
above those Of last year by the time
the last grapes have been shipped.
This is shown by figures complied by
the California distributors.
Total shipments in 1911 amounted to
best previous record for shipments
Already shipments this season have
reached 1881 cars and there are
enough Emperor and Cornichon grapes
with few Tokays left to bring the
total above $4,000. More Malaga grapes
were shipped this year than usual, ac-
Jones of the distributors, because the
raisin market is not the best and the
market for fresh grapes was fairly
good.
Pear trees yielded exceptionally well.
breaking all records in the history Of
the deciduous industry. Even now
pear shipments are not over. few
Easter Burres still bein available. Ten
cars weer shipped last week. The
Bartlett crop was abnormal in size
and the prices were good, particularly
for late arrivals.
This year late grape shippers are
cars for last year. Cherries also this
season exceeded the 1911 crop. Peach
trees bore well, but not so many as
usual were shipped because of the
large crops in other states.
This year late grape shippers are

| Grapes are being shipped in so pound

creation and something new in
stagecraft. The girl from U. 8. A.
as played by Miss Ouina Marion fills
the ideal of the author. The clean,
fine atmosphere of the production is
most wholesome and welcome. The
heart interest is deep and natural.
There is a triangle love affair and the

fully artful. yet genuine episodes of
