In the southern Colorado coal strike
district the storm was especially Sc

Mrs. Sarah A. Wrigley Tells
How Famous Poem Was
Composed.

Appreciation of the reproduction of
the journal OF Henry Hoover, brother

Wrigley, for many years librarian of

communication to The Palladium ex-
presses her appreciation OF the series
and asks that the biographies of other
pioneers be printed.
She also submits an account OF the
origin of The HOLSTERS Nest" which
is appended:

TELEPHONE TRUST
GETS JOB FROM
WEST COAST
Suit To Dissolve 1t Is Filed In
Oregon
UNDER THE FEDERAL LAW
Demand That Court Appoint Recev
ers To Take over Control Of
Companies.

Portland, Ore, July 24.-Dissolu-
ton of the alleged telephone mono
poly on the Pacific coast by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company-the so-called Bell trust
is sought by Attorney General Nc
Reynolds in a civil antitrust suit
filed here today. The government
charges the giant corporation and
it's subsidiaries with absorbing indie
pendent telephone companies to de-
stroy competition and create mon
opoly in Oregon, Washington, Mon.
tano and Idaho, in violation of the
Sherman law.
This is the first attempt ever made
to apply the federal antitrust statute
to the telephone situation.
1t is declared that the suit filed to-
day will not interfere with the
sweeping investigation proposed by
the interstate commerce commission
into the general telephone situation
to determine whether the Sherman
law should be invoked generally
with the purpose of enforcing com
petition or whether monopoly should
be permitted or encouraged under
regulation similar to that of rail
roads.
The attorney general asks the
court to compel the Bell companies
to relinquish control of the indepen-
dent telephone company of. Seattle,
the Home Telephone company OF
Puget Sound, the Northwestern Long
Dictonco Tolpnhonp cOmnanV the In
terstate Consolidated Transportation
company and the Independent Long
Distance company. If necessary TO
accomplish the dissolution the court
is asked to appoint receiver for
the properties.
Attorney General McReynolds'
well known views that the pro rata
distribution of the stocks OF the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts did
not bring about real dissolution of
these combinations are strongly re-
fected in today's suit in which he
specifically requests the court to re-
uuire the alleged telephone trust to
dispose of the stocks, bonds and
physical properties of the indepen-
dents, ito persons not connecte,
with the Bell companies and stock
holders or otherwise" He asks
for the restoration, as fast as pracu-
cable. of competitive conditions ex-
listing prior to the consultations and
that the Bell companies, their ofic-
ers and agents be enjoined from &C
auiring interest in or control OF the
companies relinquished.

CONGRESSMEN
Charged With Attempt To
Secure Mouey BY Frau d
IS NOW IN WASHINGTON
Conviction May Result In Fine of
$1,000 and Three Years
Imprisonment.

New York, July 26-The indict-
ment of David Lamar. the Wall
street operator, on the charge of
impersonating an officer of the gov
eminent for purposes of fraud, was
announced yesterday by United
States District Attorney II. Snowden
Marshall. The indictment was found
by the federal grand jury several
days ago, but publication of it was
withheld owing to the fact that La
mar was not in the New York feder-
al district at the time. Mr. Marshall
said that no attempt would be made
to arrest Lamar, who is now in
Washington, until he returns to the
district.
The indictment charges Lamar
with impersonating Representative
A. Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania
on February last, for the purpose
OF defrauding Lewis Cass Ledyard,

steel corporation Both the late j.
Pierpont Morgan and the present ].

Porter, Thomas w Lament and Hor-
ace G. Lloyd composing the partner
ship of J. F. Morgan & Co, are men
toned as persons whom Lamar is
accused Of having attempted to de
fraud, According to the Indictment
Lamar employed cunning act and
deception" in an effort ito fraudu-
lently deprive said persons and cor
poration of divers sums of money"
The government bases its action
on an opinion given in 1882 by for
mer United States Acknowledgement
Benjamin Harrison Brewster that
"in a broad and general sense a mem
Der of Congress is a government Off
GER" Section 80 of the federal
criminal code under which the in
dictment was found provides as pun
ishment upon conviction a fine not
in excess of $1,000 or Imprisonment
of not more than three years. At
the federal building opinion was ex-
pressed that Lamar would surrender
himself soon, although no agreement
to that effect was made with the
defendant.
The indictmenN was the outgrowth
of Lamars testimony as a witness
before the Senate lobby investigating
committee in the inquiry of the
Union Pacific scandal Lamar told
the committee of having impersonat-
ed Congressman Palmer in telephone
talks with New York financiers.

THAT AUTO ACCIDENT
Letter From Mr.. Coping Stating
the Facts.

Joseph Garreau believes that The
Banner did him an injustice in the
item printed Tuesday relative. to his
auto accident at Arlington Sunday.
The Banner has Investigated the ac-
cident as thoroughly as time would
permit and sees no reason for think
ing that Mr. Garreau was at fault in
any way. The road is high crowned,
narrow and sandy at that point max
ing it particularly ticklish to drive
over especially when rutted as it has
been this summer because of so
much dry weather. d. +. Coping,
who was one of the passengers in
the car Sunday writes the following
letter which states facts.
Bennington, VT, July "a, 1913.
Editor of The Banner Referring
to your article published in your
paper on the 22nd instant under the
head of Bennington Briefs" regard
ing the wrecking of Mr.. Joseph Gar
reau's automobile would say, that
Mrs. Coping and myself were occu-
pants of the car at the time the ac-
cident occurred, and we both agree
that the statement that Joe turned
around to speak to one of the party
and temporarily lost control of the
car" is wholly untrue.
Truly yours,
ID. Il. Coping.
