Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE Chicago Bo. ID
of Trade-the great exchange of the
United States-was charged by the
federal government in a civil antitrust
suit filed here today with violating the
Sherman law by arbitrarily fixing. dur
ing the hours the exchange is closed,
the prices of wheat, corn, oats and rye
to be received in Chicago.
The governments petition in equity
asks the United States district court
for a temporary restraining order to
be followed after final hearing with a
permanent Injunction prohibiting the
$500 and more members Of the board
from continuing the alleged unlawful
conspiracy to destroy competition and
restrain interstate commerce.
The following are named as defend
ants to the suit:

Grain bought by the members of
the board prior to it's shipment, or
while in transit to Chicago is desig-
mated, the petition points out, as
grain to arrive" Imediately after
the close of each days session, the
board of trade, under its rules, estab-
fishes public call for corn, oats,
wheat and rye to arrive, by which, the
government alleges, the exchange alb
solutely fixes the price to be offered
for such staples from al parts of the
country, contracted for from the
closing hour to the opening the fol-
lowing day. As the board is open less
than four hours, or only one-hah Of
the ordinary business day, it is de-
clared that these fixed prices control
the bids of grain dealers for the other
half of the business day. The rule has
resulted, 1t is charged, in a conspiracy
and combination to prevent competi-
ton. According to the petition the
board dominates and controls the grain
market, both as to price and the
amount sold and shipped in interstate
commerce in large part of Illinois
and adjoining states.

Mexico City. Feb. 11.-Over the pro-
test Of representatives OF foreign coun-
tries. President Madero today ordered
an attack on Gen Felix Diaz and an
assault on the rebels fortified in and
around the arsenal was begun at 1915
this morning. Tonight no material
advantage had been gained by either
side. Many assaults against the rebels
had been repuised. The government
is optimistic.
During last night the federaIs were
busy placing men. Twenty cannon
were brought from the outlying dis
tricts. Above the arsenal fioated Diaz's
red flag of defiance. Diaz dispatched n
few hundred men with artillery to a
point in the eastern part of the city.
These guns dominated Chapultapec.

day.
Madero has a total Of not less than
5000 soldiers in the city and expects
added reinforcemnets shortly.
Felix Diaz, the rebel leader, has
some 5000 men. The advantage given
him by the capture OF the artillery has
now been lost, since the government
has had time to bring up field guns.

cows AT FARM.
The cow proposition was a big one
and brought nearly the entire board
and County Physician c. w. D'AIem-
berte into the discussion of whether
the county poor farm should have i
cow. no cow or cows. It was finally
decided that the farm should have
three good cows" Commissioner Nc
Curdy dissenting.
When it had been decided to get the
cows, Mr.. McCurdy wanted to know
what constitutes good cow"
"A cow" he was told, which pays
for it's feed"
Chairman W. c.. Barrineau thinks
the farm should be self-supporting
and yet give the inmates some good
milk and butter, fresh eggs, some
spring chickens and an occasional pig
roast. So he came out last night in
favor Of getting a COW or some cows
and some hogs for the county farm
The former superintendent, Mr.. Rice,
had several cows, he said, and pro-
vided the inmates with fresh milk
from them. Superintendent Virgins,
who took charge last month, has no
cows, he said, or, If he has, is not so
philanthropically disposed as his pre-
decessor. who gave the inmates the
milk.
Mr.. McCurdy said he thought the
inmates could get along until the next
meeting without the cows. or. he sug-
gested, they might buy a cow and
make the distribution Of milk among
several groups in rotation.
Mr.. Barrineau replied that he doesn't
think the old people there should be
hCPI Ou a SlSduy ulSI Oh SAT- meat
and beans" and doesn't see why they
shouldn't have fresh milk and but
ter and sweet-potatoes and a spring
chicken sometimes"
Commissioner r. B. Saunders agreed
with him and so did the county ply
sician. So it was decided to buy
least one COW. When Commissioner
McCurdy said that would cause a
sort of every third day serving of
milk to each group it was deemed best
to get three cows. When the chicken
question came UP DR.. D'Alemberte
said he found that the chickens out
there die at the rate of about ten a
day from cholera when summer
comes. His own chickens, kept in good
clean coops die about the same way
from the same thing. he said. So It
was decided to drop the question Of
chickens, hogs, sweet potatoes, ct
cetera, and cuisine and continue the
present diet, with the addition of fresh
milk and butter from the three cows.
