criminal section of the statute are much more frequent of late than formerly, the Cash Register Com pany is only the second trust the responsible heads of which have ac- taully had jail sentences imposed upon them. The first were the off, cials of the turpentine trust, tried and convicted at Atlanta These ap- pealed from the verdict of the Unit ed States Circuit Court of Appeals. This court sustained the justice of the verdict and an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States is now pending. Appeals will, no doubt, be taken from the verdict rendered at Cincinnati, and further swell the dockets of federal courts of appeals called to review the trials of trust officials convicted of vio- lations of the criminal section of the law.
 That we are now in fair way of finding the possibilities of the Sher- man antitrust law is being made clearer all the time. A statute de rided and condemned by the law officers of two administrations as being inefficient has been found to be sufficient for curbing the aggres- sions of trusts in its sections deal ing with their operations not defin- ed as criminal in their nature Now it is being used to convict persons charged with acts defined as crimin- al under its terms. Condemned with out a trial by men refusing to try it, it has since, and often, been justified by its works. Under the Taft ad- ministration it has been used effec- lively for pointing the way to a so- lution of the trust problem in ways which, while not obstructing consoli- dations effected for serving the ends of economy and efficiency, prevent any arbitrary use of their aggregat- ed powers.

WE GO MARCHING ON.

That it is much less difficult than it was to get jury convictions of persons charged with violations of the criminal section of the Sher- man law is attested by an increas- ing number of such convictions late ly. The formal sentencing in the Federal District Court at Cincin- natl, of twenty-nine men convicted of such a violation, to terms of i'm prisonment ranging from three months to one year, following a number of recent field days in the conviction of such officials. In the Cincinnati roundup, the largest catch was that of the president of the National Cash Register Com pany in Dayton. He and a number of his nearest executive officers were sentenced to one years imprison- ment each. Smaller officials were given shorter terms.

 "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con gress assembled, That sections three and four of the Act entitled An Act to provide for an enlarged homestead" approved February nineteeth, nineteen hundred and nine, and of an Act entitled "An Aact to provide for an enlarged homestead" approved June seven teenth, nineteen hundred and ten, be, and the same are hereby, amended to read as follows:
 Section B That any homestead entryman of lands of the character herein described, upon which entry final prof has not been made, shall have the right to enter public lands, subject to the provisions of this Act, contiguous to his former entry, which shall not, together with the original enry, exceed three hundred and twenty acres.

Weekly journal-miner., 1913-02-26

Provided, That any qualified person who has heretofore made or hereaf- ter makes additional entry under the provisions of section three of this Act may be allowed to perfect title to his original entry by showing compliance with the provisions of section twenty-two hundred and ninety-one of the Revised Statutes respecting such original entry, and thereafter in making proof upon his additional entry shall be credited with residence maintained upon his original entry from the date of such original entry, but the cultivation required upon entries made under this act must be shown respecting such additional entry, which cultiva- ton, while it may be made upon either the original or additional en- try, or upon both entries, must be cultivation in addition to that relied upon and used in making proof upon the original entry; or. if he elects. his original and additional entries may be considered~as one, with full credit for residence upon and inn provements made under his original entry, in which event the amount of cultivation herein required shall ap- ply to the total area of the combin- ed entry, and proof may be made upon such combined entry whenever 1t can be shown that the cultivation required by this section has been performed; and to this end the time within which proof must be made upon such combined entry is hereby extended to seven years from the date of the original entry: Provid- ed further, That nothing herein con- tained shall be so construed as to require residence upon the combined entry in excess of the period of re- sidence, as required by section rwen- ty-two hundred and ninety-one of the Revised Statutes"
 Approved, February II, 1913.

A CITY OF REFUGE.

Babylon is fallen! The Nevada Senate last Tuesday, following the earlier action of the House, voted to make one years residence in that state a prerequisite to getting a divorce there, and the governor has signed the bill. Reno, that city of magnificent distances and alluring entertainments for all of the mismat- ed and incompatible souls of earth, feels now that its career is ended. That town alone made an organiz- ed opposition to the passage of the bill A large body of its citizens, claiming that to break up the di- vorce colony in Reno would be to ruin the town, lobbied in both branches of the Legislature and inn portuned the governor for veto. Last week they threatened that if the women, who are responsible for the measure, should succeed in get ting it passed, they would retaliate by organizing a campaign against woman suffrage which would make its success impossible.
 Apparently the suffragists were not dismayed by the threat, and the vote in both houses shows that the public sentiment of the state must be overwhelmingly against the con- tinuance of conditions at Reno which have disgraced Nevada, once an easy thing to do, but evidently becom- ing harder since the hope of the white race went down at Reno be- fore a black man who has since made matters worse by trying to carry more of the white mans bur den than any white man ever has been able to carry. Since that dreadful day Nevada has seemed to be thinking that perhaps being "wide open" to people and things of good repute would pay better than being wide open only to things and peo- pie giving the rest of the world a bad opinion of her sovereignty as a state.
 When Reno takes her eyes off the divorcee who is accompanied there by the correspondent in the case during the brief time in which they are to wait until the injured hus- band is arraigned in court, without being there, as a man lost to all sense of gentlemanly honor and when she turns her atten- ton to making the wheels go around in bigger games than roulette; when she learns to play for big stakes with the queens and the knaves all in the discard, she will prosper so much more than she has done with marked cards and phonies that she will be glad to give suffrage to the women of Nevada as a testimonial or regard. We are so sure of this that the only question left in the case is the one where the disconso- late can go next. We can see for them now no city of refuge any, where.

 Friends of John Meyers, a wood hauler to the city are alarmed over his absence for the past three days, and it is the belief that he has per ished in the storm of Saturday. He conducted Sam Pemberton in his team to the latter's home in Mint Valley early on Saturday, and after eating dinner at about 800 o'clock in the afternoon started on the re- turn trip. Tracks of the wagon were last seen near the Roy ranch, about six miles out or the William son Valley road, and later the hors- es and wagon were located here, but

had lost his wife in wreck on the

that he would like to employ him
(Mr. Haygood) as the negroes at

He further SAID that the negro had
been sent to Fitzgerald and would
call at his Office during the day,
and that if he needed any money
with which to 60 to Alabama and
bury his wife, to let him have it

that he had been talking to any
other than H. B. Grlmshaw, with
whom he is intimately acquainted,
and the party at the other end of
the line even initiating the super
intendent's voice, very readily ad-
vanced the negro the amount of
$40, telling him to go immediate

and meet him in Montgomery the
following Monday when they
would file suit for damages.
