Boiled Shirt Is Barred.

Salt Lake City, Utah.-fhe profes-
sors of the Granite high school have
started a crusade for simplicity in
dress.
Starched collars and boiled" shirts
have been banished from the school
and the girls have been given to un-
derstand that the latent creation
in gowns would be met with scorn.
The professors, as leaders in the
movement, now appear before their
classes in soft-collared shirts ana
have sent out an edict that similar
dress among the students would be
appreciated. So-called leaders of
fashion will hereafter meet with but
little favor with members Of the fac.
ulty.

LUMBER TRUST ENI0lNEO
UNDER SHERMAN LAW
Eastern States Retailers Association
Is Held a Conspiracy In Re-
straint Of Trade.

New York, Jan. IA permanent in
junction was granted On Thursday by
the federal district court here on pc
titiOn by the government against the
Eastern States Retail Lumber Deal
ers' association, charged with being
a combine in restraint OF trade.
The defendants include also the
New York Lumber Trade association,
the Building Material Mems associa-
ton, the New Jersey Lumbermen's
Protective association, the Retail
Lumbermens association, the Retail
Lumbermen's association of Baltimore,
the Lumber Exchange of the District
Of Columbia, and others.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE govern
ment's victory at New York against
the so-caIIed lumber trust is regarded
by officials of the department of JUS
tice as one Of the most important ac-
complishments under the Sherman an
thrust law, because it limits in large
measure the power and privileges of
the much-discussed ''middleman" in
commerce.
The decision is construed here as
meaning that the consumer of lumber,
untrammeled by the retailer, may pur-
chase direct from the wholesaler or
manufacturer, and the latter may sell
direct to the public without interior
ence by a combination OF retailers.
There still are pending lumber trust
cases constituting in the aggregate a
nationwide move.

The Rosecrans cleared fron south

GOOD ROADS BILL OFFERED
Measure Appropriating S45o,OOo for
Use of Highway Commits
sion in Early.

Madison.-The initial bill to be
presented the Wisconsin Legislature
at its fifty-frst session was the good
roads bill desired by the highway
commission
1t carries an appropriation of
S450,000 which is to be available for
the carrying on the work of the GEM
mission during the next two years
The legislature took a step in the
direction of demonstrating that ii in
tends being a working session by tax
ing an adjournment to Monday night
instead of Tuesday morning. 1t is
understood the speaker expects to be
ready with the assembly committee
assignments by that time.
The reason for the introduction of
the good roads bill this early is so
that the appropriation shall, if posi-
Bile, be available for the use OF the
commission in April. The initial ap-
preparation to the board made two
years ago was $350,O0O. This has
been exhausted in the building of SEQ
miles of road Nine hundred more
towns have applied for the state aid.

CORNER CALLED A TRUST
BY u. S. SUPREME COURT
James A. Patten and Others Lose
Fight to Quash Indictment
Case Sent to Trial.

Washington, Jan. Sin a far-reach-
ing decision the Supreme court of the
United States on Monday laid down
the principle that corners" of inter
state commodities such as articles Of
clothing and food are in violation Of
the Sherman antitrust law, and held
that those who attempt to form them
in the future will be criminally prose
cuted
The courts opinion was handed
down in the so-called Patten cotton
corner" case, III which James A Pat
ten, Eugene G, Scales. Frank B. Hayne,
Col Robert NJ Thompson, Sydney j.
Hartman, Morris Rothschild. l.. A.
Kittle and William F. Brown were in
dicted for manipulating a corner in
cotton in 1910
The profits realized in the Patten
cotton corner were given as 100000
600.
The decision OF the Supreme court
settles the important question that a
corner" Of any commodity is re-
straint of interstate commerce and
may be violation of the Sherman an
thrust law
The case will go back to the federal
court Of southern New York for trial
or other proceeding.
