Trust Busting to Come.

It begins to look as if the job Of
trust busting undertaken by the
American people and their govern
ment a few years ago was left so in
complete, or was so largely undone
during the war, that it will have to be
tackled afresh. The federal trade
commission finds, for example, that
the meat packers are steadily acquir-
ing monopoly Of many of the chief
food porducts of the country. Their
grip is not confined to meats but is
rapidly reaching out and fastening
upon numerous other products named
in the report by means of their con-
troll of 574 companies and their inter
est in 1873 others. In response to the
commissions findings the packers own
up to the vastness of their expansions,
but contend that such concentration
Of commercial power eliminates waste
Of effort, saves expense, makes for
greater efficiency, renders smaller
profits possible, and thus benefits the
public by providing lower prices than
could be secured in any other way.
This is the familiar argument Of the
advocates Of state socialism, to which
system majority sentiment is opposed
and the packers will hardly be able to
convert the public to such view. II
we can not trust the government t.
administer the food supplies Of The
country, still less can we trust a huge

19.-The vanguard of the Pacific
Fleet sailed from here at $50 this
morning bounG for the Western coast
via the Panama Canal. No unusual
ceremonies marked the departure Of
six super -dreadnaughts, 30 destroy

the first time the fleet will be equally
divided between the two oceans. Also

be te sted. The roadstead was full of
small boats on last minute erands.
Colors sounded al eight o'clock.
Groups of wives, sWeethearts and
other women relatives crowded the
docks waving Godspeed as the ships
steamed away.
Following the New Mexico, which
as the flagship of Admiral Redman,

Henry Drake, a barber of Imperial,
with a wife and three children has

in order to elope with Mrs. Cora
Hoffman, also wife and mother.
Drake and Mrs Hoffman disappeared
from Imperial Thursday night.
Mrs Hoffman, the woman in the
case, in December last, was held for
trial on a charge of embezzlement
made by Charles Kerr of this city,
the charge being that she had disposed
of an automobile belonging to Kerr
The case against her was never
brought to trial as her husband who
was arrested in Detroit and returned
to this city for completely took the en-
tire blame for the theft upon himself
and was sentenced to an indeterminate
term of from one TO ten years in San
Quentin.
Since her release from the county

SAN DIEGO, July 19.-khai
Din, Hindu rancher of Imperial
valley. was found not guilty at
1915 last night of the charge of
numbering his fellow cOuntryman
and partner. Fared Bakhsh, on a
ranch near Brayley,: August IL.

days. T.
The trial finished tonight was.
the fifth time that Din was in
court 10 answer to murder
charges, fer the death of Bahksh
and another Hindu, HaSSan All.
Much time and many thousands of
dollars have been expended by I'M
perial countv during the progress of
the four trials, one in which Dinswas
charged with murder of Hassan Ali
and acquitted.
Nearly so witnesses have been
brought to San DIEGO by the prosecr-
tion and the defense, some of these
from FL Centre and surrounding
towns. others from north state and
yet others from Mexico, adding sums
to the cost of acQuittal on circum-
stantial evidence.
The trial of Din reached its end

Tense Attorney O. V. Wilson closed
the case with the last evidence heard
from his witnesses early yesterday
afternoon, and Special Prosecu
tor Conlin opened with argument for
the prosecution. His address to the
jury, in which he asserted that the
prosecution had proven "conclusively
by an unbroken chain of circumstan-
tial evidence bevond an iota of doubt
that Din was guilty of the murder of
Fared Rahksh," was dramatic.
ATTORNEY O. V. Wilson opened for
the defense and warmed up to dra-
matte description of the Imperial val
lev, striving to fix upon the minds of
the jury that it is impossible for a
man TO, walk 25 or 30 miles a day
