BRIEF FILED IN THE
SHOE TRUST SUIT

Washington, January 4.-Briefs seeking
to show that officials OF the United Shoe
Machinery company had not been guilty
of violating the Sherman antitrust law
in organizing the company and that tie
action of the Massachusetts federal court
in annulling an Indictment against their
officials should be sustained were filed
in the supreme court today.
In the Standard oil, tobacco, st. Louis
terminal hard coal trust and bathtub
cases the Objectionable features the
briefs contended remained as the en-
bodying means OF suppressing competi-
ton. The shoe machinery enterprise
was described as being a combination
of several digits. comprising indeper-
dent business concerns.
THE charge here is rather" says one
brief that these defendants formed
partnership to carry on the different
businesses formerly carried on by the six
partners respectively, creating that of
the United Shoe Machinery company. If
this combination of partnership is a di-
rect or immediate restraint upon inter-
state trade, then there has never been
any time since the passage of the Sher-
man act in which a partnership could
be formed of partners, each dealing in
different commodities to engage in an
interstate manufacturing business which
might develop into an interstate busi-
ness with ratifications. The proposition
seems absurd in view of the language
of the legal authorities of those inter-
ested and the citation of other cases
which do not forbid normal contracts
to further interstate commerce."
The concluding arguments by the at
torneys says the appeals act under which
the government appealed from the de-
cision of the courts of Massachusetts
was repealed by the enactment of the
judicial code

OPPONENTS OF
THE BRYAN BILL
ARE VERY BUSY
AND THE ALLEGED SILENT IN
FLUENcE" IS SAID TO EMANATE
FROM GOVERNORS OFFICE
MEASURE NOT so POPULAR AS
WHEN FIRST INTRODUCED.
BY FRANK L. HuFFAkER.

Tallahassee, May Sup here amid
the "hills of Leon a quiet, determined
and merry little war is on between
United States Senator Nathan P Bry
an and Governor Park Trammell for
and against Bryan's celebrated pri-
mary election bill, one of the most in
teresting measures introduced since
the session began.
The governor doncherno, expects to
make the race against Nat four years
hence and the aforesaid Nathans
friends are saying that this has some
thing to do with his opposition TO the
primary bill, the young Apollo realiz-
ing or believing that the passage of
the Bryan bill might be in the nature
OF putting one over" on him. Far be
it from me, though, TO even whisper
that Governor TrammeI would be
guilty of playing politics" NeValre!
Horrors
week ago the fact that the Bryan
bill would pass the house by a very
large vote was an overwhelming con
cusion. Since then, however, that
silent influence has been at work,
and Bryan's friends say it emanates
from the big chiefs Office down
stairs, and that politics is behind it.
At the opening of the session
bright young South F1oridian entered
the press bureau and upon being asked
what he thought of the governors
message, said:
''Why, I think he must have secured
a cspy of the latest catalogue of Sears,
Roebuck & Company, Macy and John
Wanamaker's and endorsed everything
in them
Far be it from me. though, as above
stated, to whisper that the handsome
young gentleman from Polk would
play politics"

REFORM SCHOOL
HOUSE ADOPTS CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION CALLING FOR THE
APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEE
OF THREE.
ny FRANK L. HUFFAkER.

Tallahassee, May 5.-The house to-
day adopted a concurrent resolution,
introduced by Light Of Marion, call
ing for the appointment OF a com
mittee Of one senator and three rep
resentatives to visit the reform school
at Mariana and, with the assistance
of the state auditor, to investigate the
financial records Of that institution
Representative High, member Of tho
trustees Of the reform school, refused
to concur in the report Of the trus-
tees
BY a vote of ten to fourteen the
senate refused to indefinitely postpone
the bill reducing the interest rate
charged by banks from eight to SIX
cents. Indications from this vote are
that the bill will pass the upper body.
If so. it will certainly pass the house.
Stokes moved the indefinite post
ponement Of McCrary's bill calling
for a constitutional convention, but
action was not taken on account of
the temporary absence of McCrary
from the senate chamber. Belief is
that the bill would have been post
poncd had action been taken.

New York, May 5.-New York po-

SENATE BILL
ON CONv|CTS is
IN MUCH FAVOR
NEW MEASURE BY COMMITTEE
CLAIMED TO BE AN IMPROVE
MENT ON ONE NOW BEFORE
LEGISLATURE IN THAT 1T CUTS
OUT "MIDDLEMAN" PROFIT.
BY ERANk L. UFEAk ER.

TaJlaha ssee, May 5-From present
indications Governor TrammelPs bill
abolishing the convict lease system,
which passed the house by such an
overwhelming majority, will travel a.
rocky road before it passes the senate,
as the bill favored by the senate com
mittee on convicts and prisons is re-
garded by many as a much better
measure for several reasons, principal
among which is the fact that it cuts
out the middle man" in convict leas-
ing and thereby increases the revenue
to the state and eliminates to certain
extent the feature Of commercializing
human beings.
This bill was drawn principally by
Senator B. II Lindsay. chairman of
the committee. who has had years Of
experience in handling conVicts, and
Senator y, J.. Watson, a lawyer Of
ability who has also given the subject
Icing and careful consideration. There
are many features in our bill which J.
regard as better than the governors
bill" said Senator Lindsay. although
I have no particular criticism OF his
measure. However, 7 cannot see why
the middlemen lessees should get
something like 100000 a year out Of
sub-leasing the conviCts. when this
sum could go to the state. Through
the operation of the senate committee
bill the convicts would be leased di-
rect to the counties, for road work
and to the present sub Iessees, and
beth counties and sub-lessees could
get the benefit Of a reduction of some
thing like 10 per cent, and still leave
to the state the amount above men
toned. 7 do not see why the conviCts
should be sent through n Clearing
house anyhow"

CASE OF r. E. LOWRY AND MISS

CONTINUED.

Roy Williams, an L. & n. fiagman,
who was arrested several days ago on
the charges of disorderly conduct and
fighting with r. E. Lowry and his sis

in the recorders court yesterday
morning.
The cases against Lowry and nis
sister were again continued.
The trouble between the three par
ties took place near the Garden street
entrance of the San Carlos hotel and
is said to have originated by Will
liams using obscene language in talk
ing to Miss Lowry. Williams received
a painful knife wound in the leg our
ing the fight, which is alleged to have
been inflicted by r. E. Lowry, who is
also charged with assaulting with a
knife.

are in every sense of the word artists,
who work in an environment of art
They are surrounded by inspiration in
musems, art galleries and libraries
which afford ample material for re-
search. To such a treasury does the
designer HE himself when in quest of
ideas with which to start new sea
son.
The great advantage of this trea sury
of ideas is found in the fact that
present day fashions are largely built
upon those of the past. The mode
of no single period is taken. but a
composite made of the best in the
styles of yester-year. In clothes it is
true as in all other mundane things
that there is nothing new under the
SUM-. 1t would seem, for very truth
that original ideas for feminine adorn-
ment have been about exhausted. and
all that the costumer of today can do
is to remodel and recombine the old
designs not in survival but in fascin-
ating revival OF the fittest. The Pa
risian designer because of his excel
lent advantages, does this so well that
the rest of the world can but admire
and initiate.
This renewal of by-gone modes is
wen SAGilpllHeQ III the TWO evening
gowns here shown, choice products of
the most fashionable Partisan shops
In them is to be seen the growing
tendency to introduce Greek draperies
for evening dresses together with
the raising of the belt high above the
waist in the shape of an Empire tun-
&c. A trace of the mode Of 1880 is seen
in the exquisite rose embroidery of
the Dreco1l gown. while the gold en-
broidered sash in the Lacroix costume
may have had its counterpart in the
gay gown of a Balkan beauty.
These two gowns also exemplify the
tendency for soft eolors shown in eve
ming garb. The Lacroix gown is of
white charmeuse with pink beaded
net. while the DrecoH product is of
creme charmeuse embroidered in
mauve. The tunics seen in both gowns
are typical of the mode Of the mo-
ment.
None of these separate features is
original but the combinations
wrought by the designer are charm
ing. illustrating well the superlative
art which can weave Of familiar ma
terials effects pleasing to a faded
public of novelty seeking women. That
is why Paris is and will be supreme
in fashion.
