Antitrust Legislation Makes
Early Adjournment Doubtful

Labor unions, farmers cooperative
organizations and combinations of
small retail dealers and manufactur-
ers which do not engage in price rais-
ing, probably will be exempted from
the provisions of the antitrust laws
now being framed by the judiciary
committee A bill limiting the use of
the injunction in labor disputes also
will be reported by the committee, to
follow the antitrust measures.
The trust legislative program is far
from complexion. Chairmen of the
House committees In charge of the
work in the lower branch cannot see
how a complete report can be agreed
upon before May.
An Interstate Trade bill probably
will be reported within a few weeks.
Such a bill may be reported from the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce ahead of the House bill, but as
to other features of proposed trust leg
islation, the Senate committee Will re-
uuire time for consideration of the
House bills after they are completed
there.
Party leaders agree that the trust
question will precipitate long debate in
both houses, and if some of the pro-
posed measures do not reach either
house before May. adjournment by
June / seems unlikely.

the statements made in the narrative

When Capt. Farrell headed for the
coast he was caught in another storm
Jan. g. this gale began to strip the
vessel of her canvas. She had lost all
her headsails, jiggerhoom and gaff and
the cabin was flooded. During the
storm her heavy cargo shifted, giving
her such a list to starboard that her
booms dragged in water and lee rail

The Kineo remained in this condition
for 10 days. unable to carry any sail
and had to float by Bermuda. Off

Mr.. Fox fell victim while he was
attempting to prove the efficacy OF
what he had claimed was sure anti
dote of the virus of the snake. He
had just finished treating goat which
had been bitten. and he had succeeded
in saving its life, when he was at
tackled by deadly kraft snake, which
is peculiar to British India.
The snake inflicted five punctures.
The doctor. who had often volun-
tarily submitted to snake bites in or
der to demonstrate the efficacy of his
cure, smilingly incised four of the
punctures, but the fifth escaped his
notice. Later in the day symptoms of
poisoning developed. The antidote
made by DR.. Fox himself was used,
but it was too late, and DR.. Fox was
added to the roll of martyrs to sci

JUMPS FROM BRIDGE
WITH 4-MONTHS BABY

North Attleboro, March with her
4-months- old baby in her arms, Mrs.
Ralph Dinsmore, aged rs, South Attle-
boro, jumped from the Metcalf-street
Bridge shortly before 1890 Saturday,
and was struck by an outward bound
train on the n. Y, N. II. & H. Rail-
road, due at the North Attleboro Sta
tiop at 1872 The child was almost
instantly killed, and the mother was
so seriously hurt that her chances of
recovery are slight.
The engineer of the train, Albert
Bernard, did not see the woman until
after she had fallen to the tracks, 80
feet below the bridge. He made a des-
perate effort to pull up his train, but
the distance intervening was too short
to accomplish this. The woman and
child were struck by the cowcatcher
and thrown some distance.
Mrs. Dinsmore left a note on the
bridge, which read; mo one will un-
derstand. Father and mother, forgive
me. / love you both"
Medical Examiner Charles S. Hol-
den viewed the body of the baby this
afternoon and pronounced death due to
a fractured skull.
The examiner stated that the case
was one of attempted suicide and
homicide.
AT the Rhode Island Hospital, where
Mrs. Dinsmore was taken, it was said
tonight that she was resting as COM
fortably as could be expected, although
her condition is critical. The surgeons
said she had recovered consciousness,
but that the chances of recovery are
slight.
Mrs, Dinsmore before marriage was
Miss Friedman. Her parents live in
Attleboro.
