BUTTER
BOARD ENDED
COMMISSION MEN CONTROL AT
ANNUAL MEETING AND PRICE
FIXING WILL BE
- STOPPED.

Chicago, Ill.-With IA federal suit
for absolute dissolution hanging over
the Elgin board OF trade, that body
has abolished the practice of arbitra-
ril.:: fixing the price of butter. 1t
has been repeatedly charged that the
committee arbitrarily controlled pric-
es throughout the United States.
The reform was accomplished at
the annual meeting after a bitter
fight, during which the producers
faction angrily left the hall.
/, The Chicago butter and egg board,
also sued by the government for fix
ing prices, recently abolished tho
same practice.
With these Influential organiza.
tions of prduce men agreeing that
the price of butter and eggs shall be
decided by the law of supply and de.
mand,, the pseculator finds himself
.in bad. Reflection of the act OF
the Chicago board was seer yester.
day in the fall in the price of storage
eggs, which has been declining for
three weeks. There is plenty of evil
dence that after the holidays the
bottom will drop out of this market,
which is greatly overloaded.
The reorganization of the Elgin
board was the elimination of a long
struggle for control waged between
the commission interests and pro.
ducers,

TIONS THROUGH SANDER

Sacramento, Cal.-Gossips who
poison the mind Of a husband or "a
wife against the other, causing do
nestle troubles, are liable for any
amount of damages for which the
aggrieved party may sue, according
to a decision OF the supreme court
today.
Written by Justice .Angelotti, it
sets a precedent in poison tongue
cases. The case is that of Mrs.
Beulah Works against j. p. Camp
bell. both of Kings county, the
woman having sued the latter for
$4,000 on allegation that through
false report Campbell has caused her
to divorce her husband.
She alleges that she believed his
reports, but later learned they were
untrue. The lower court ruled
against Mrs. Works, because ii held
the husband or wife, under such cir
cumstances, had the very best OF
grounds for damages.

Scoles, who was n the courtroom.
went quietly TO the side of her son
and placed her arm about him. To-
gether they knelt in the courtroom
and the mother prayed aloud. In her
s~upp1ication the mother asked God

Maynard son and bring him back to
