Youth Attempts Suicide.-A few
hours after Lawrence Weinberger, an
East Moline boy, aged about 20 years,
was jailed Saturday he made an at
tempt TO strangle himself. Whether
the attempt was made in earnest or
for stall is a mystery to the police.
Weinberger says he meant to do the
job, but the cord was not strong
enough. An examination OF the neck
after the attempt was made did not
show any laceration OF the flesh, and
it is supposed that Weinberger held
onto the cord with his hands until
the cord gave way from the weight of
his body.

SINFUL TANEOUs REVIVAL CLOSED
5y Far Most Soulful and Helpful Sc
res Of Meeting Ever Held in
aryan-To Date $40 Have
United with Churches.

Last night marked the close of the
simultaneous revivals held in the vari-
Gus Protestant churches of this city
for the past two weeks. The interest
that has been manifested in these
meetings is remarkable, for during the
entire progress of the services the at
tendance was very large at all the
churches.
The revival will be of lasting ben
eft to the city, for besides quickening
the spiritual zeal Of the members, a
large number of new converts and
reclamations have been made. The In
fluence of a great number of people
throwing their life and influence on
the side of right and morality, and
resolutely battling against those
things which go to degenerate and
drag down man will always quicken
the uplift and better their fellows.
The value of the results OF the
meeting is incalculable. Numerically
they may be summed up as follows:

Editor Ousley of the Fort Worth
Record is of the opinion that the I'm
derwood tariff bill has teeth in it. He
thinks it curries favors with the North
and East at the expense of the South
and West, and that if passed in its
present form would wreck the Demo
cratic party. In an interview Mr.. Gus
ley said: THE Underwood bill is the
most disastrous piece of legislation
since the Wilson bill of 1896. 1t is an
inexcusable protection of New Eng
land manufacturers and is nothing less
than cruel discrimination against
Southern and Western producers"

GIVE US THE TARIFF DOPE.

What is the use of fooling with the
tariff when The Bryan Eagle has
solved the whole problem? Here is its
solution: ITO make long story short,
if Congress wants to do the square
thing by the country, it should cut the
price half in two on everything we
have to buy, raise the price on every
thing we have to sell, and make the
millionaires pay all the expenses of
the government" Houston Chronicle.
The Eagle was only trying to show
that man could not lift himself over
the fence by his boot-straps and the
Chronicle took us seriously. On the
question of the tariff, however, The
Eagle is perfectly frank to confess
that it does not know it all, not even
half, and we are seeking for more
light If the Chronicle knows the sub
ject through and through" and just
what effect the proposed bill will have
on the country, we would like for it
to turn its wolf loose in explanation
thereof

TRUST LAW DOES NOT
FORBID COMBINING
OF NONCOMPE PET|TORS
Supreme Court Makes Inn
pOrtant Decision i'm the
"ShOe Manchinery
Trust" Case

Washington, February s.-For the first
time the supreme court of the United
States today held in effect, in the '.shoe
machinery trust case that the Sherman
antitrust law does not forbid the mere
combining of non-competitors in an indus
try. Solicitor General Bullitt for the gov
ernment had contended that if the combi-
nation brought into one hand an undue
proportion of the trade it was forbidden
by the antitrust law.
The disintegration aimed at by the
statute, does not extend to reducing all
manufacture to isolated units of the low
est degree, declared Justice Holmes in
announcing the unanimous decision of the
court that the mere organization OF the
United Shoe Machinery company by the
heads of several non-competiting groups
of shoe manufacturers had not been a vio-
lation of the law
The justice continued to say that ii is
as lawful for one corporation to make
every part of steam engine and to
put the machine together as 1t would be
for one to make the boilers and another
TO make the wheels. In explanation of
this concise statement of law he referred
to the courts recent Minnesota creamery
decision and the older Swift Co. decision
in which it was held that an intent, is
necessary as an element of ATTEMPTING
to monopolize. The bringing Of non
