NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Both at home
and abroad, stock exchange prices
were again dominated today by the
unexpectedly rapid easing OF in
money rates. Why this relaxation
has been so decided in New York,
mas been already shown by last Sat
urday's large increase in the bank sur
plus and by the subsequent heavy
II ovement of currency to New York.
Today's weekly foreign bank returns
showed why Europe's money mar

INJUNCTION ASKED
BY GOVERNMENT
Same Was Granted Against Eastern
Branch, OF the Lumber Trust
Today.

Tinted Press Leased Wire Service
NBW YORK, Jan. 9.--The United
States distric. court today granted a
perpetual injunction asked by the gov
eminent against the Eastern Retail
Lumber Dealers Associations and
other defendants known as the eastern
branch OF the lumber trust. The suit
was brought by the government In
May, 1911.
The decision which was written by
Judge Lacombe held that the defend
ants were guilty Of violation of the
antitrust law through the circulation
of certain lists, which comprised in
formation regarding wholesale deal
ers. The government charged that
these lists were in effect blacklists.
Judge Lacombe said that the evidence
showed that the defendants through
delegates had held conferences In
violation of the law but that the reso-
buttons adopted at such conferences
had been abrogated before the suit
was filed. He said that 1t was shown
the defendants had ceased holding
conferences and ceased circulating
the lists before the suit was filed and
that they had shown no indication
that such practices were likely to be
resumed Therefore, 1t appeared, the
court considered the permanent in
junction. as asked by the government,
was sufficient action to be taken in
the premises. There was no effor.
by the government to bring abou,
criminal prosecution. The effect of
the decision is to end the operation
of the association Of dealers, which
represented the retail trade in the
eastern section Of the country.

COMMON MISTAKE
OF PARCEL POST
Use Of Ordinary Postage Stamps on
Packages Is Entirely Against
the Law.

limited Press Leased Wire Service. i
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-Now that
the novelty has worn off the parcel
post parcel post" by the way is the
official designation, not parcels"
post postoffice officials are bending
their energies toward educating the
public in the system in order to pre-
vent piling up Of undelivered mat
ter. The most common mistake SO
far, ofncials said today, is the use ..
ordinary postage stamps for mailing
of the parcels.
The law as passed by congress
specifically provides that distinctive
stamps" be affixed to packages sent
by the new system. This is in order
that by keeping track of the sale Of
these special stamps, the postoffice
department may gain an exact knowi-
edge of how generally the parcer posi-
is used. If the ordinary stamps were
used, the only way in which the de-
partment could ascertain the extent or
their parcel post business would be by
weighing the matter in transit.
Another misunderstanding of the
law which officials here say has caus-
ed congestion in the parcels post is
the public's forgetfulness of the fact
that packages sent under the new
system can only be mailed at post.
offices or postoffice sub-stations. They
cannot be accepted if deposited in a
mail box even if the distinctive parcel
post stamps are affixed.

another room for moment. The
child took little chair and stepping
up on It, clutched the side of the tub.
Her weight pulled the tub from the
chairs and In overturning, the water
poured over her.
Her screams brought her mother
to the kitchen at once and picking
the child up she gave her first aid un-
til the doctor arrived. She wore
some WOODEN clothes and these held
the blatering hot water and were
hard to remove. Medical aid was at
once secured and the tot made as COM
Portable as possible.
Her father, who was on duty at the
