ed that crowded conditions In the peni-
tenitary made 1t impossible to send the
men there. and that the same crowded
conditions prevail in most county
jails OF the state.

LUMBER FIRMS
IN MISSOURI
State Wins in Suit Brought
Against open Price AS

VIOLATES TRUST LAW
Says in Sweeping Decision
That Statutes Prohibit
Plan to Lessen Free
Competition

jefferson City, Mo-, Sept. D.
Missouri has scored n complete vic
tory over the new form of business
combinations known as "open price
associations" in suit brought by
Attorney General Jesse w. Barrett
against the St. Louis Lumber Trade
Exchange The Missouri Supreme
Court ousted each of the nineteen
st. Louis lumber companies compos-
ing the Exchange. assessed fines to-
falling $4,000 and ousted the Ex-
change itself.
The court sustained the attorney
general in holding that the combins-
laws. even though it did not directly
fix prices. SO far as is known, it is
the first decision of any State court
on the points involved and follows
closely the decision of the United
States Supreme Court last year in
the hardwood lumber cases, according
to Attorney General Barrett.
After the antitrust decisions Of
Federal and State courts some fifteen
years ago, holding that it was illegal
for competitors to come together and
agree upon prices, lawyers over the
country began searching for metho :,
which would keep within the law and
yet advance the interests of their
clients, the attorney general said.
plan was found which has been

sociation PLAN according to Mr..
Barrett, whereby competing compan-
les formed central association with
manager and secretary and report
ed to 1T all prices on sales by men,
bers. The association regulated the
terms of credit and the general bust
ness practices Of its members, and
provided for cooperation that went
FAR but stopped short of the actual
fixing of prices. Books were writ
ten describing the plan as "The New
Competition" and it was believed.
the attorney general said, that the
method would be proof against prose-
cution by the State or Federal auth
critics.
Attorney General Barrett main
tanned that the net effect of the
plan was to lessen the full and free
competition which the Missouri laws
require and. to impose upon the pub
lie much higher prices. The court
IN o sweeping decision declared that
the Missouri statutes forbid not only
agreements to lessen competition, but
agreements which tend to lessen il
The decision said that the very crea-
ton of system of machinery which
can be improperly used, is in itself
violation of the Missouri law. The
court found that the increased cost
OF lumber was due to other factors
as well, such as higher freight rates
and greater labor costs, but condemn
cd the lumber exchange in most posi-
tive terms.

II ANSAS CITY F'ifty-nine
years ago, on a site which
IN Is now the exclusive part
Of this city, an important and
bloody battle Of the civil war was
fought-the battle Of Westport.
The engagement which started
on the memorable day in 1864
was one of a series of battles
that waged holly for three days
on ground which is now winding
boulevards, beautiful residences
and golf courses.
Historians, the old residents of
this city tell you, have never at
tached the true importance to
this engagement that it rightly
deserves. But many prominent
citizens Of this city and Missouri
today, descendants of officers and
men who fought in the battle, can
recount the details Of the battle
and tell of its importance to all
listeners.
Events east of the Mississippi
river further to the south, they
say, at this time had held the at
tention of those chronicling the
events OF the great internal war to
the point where this important
land uattle received little notice.
Thirty-two thousand troops
were lined up against each other
in the struggle which has been
dubbed Prices Raid" General
Sterling, a native of the State Of
Missouri, was the commander or
the Confederate forces which
made the invasion, after a famous
march of 1,4O0 miles. The strug-
gle ended in a complete rout OF
the Southerners.
Missouri, as we will remember
from our history books, remained
within the Union, although the
sympathy of a large part of the
people Of the State was with the
seeding States of the Confed'
.eracy. This probably accounts
for the fact that in Prices march
across the State, starting at the
Arkansas line, he recruited sew
eraI thousand Missouri youths TO
the cause of the South.
Troops from eight different
States-Missouri, Kansas. Iowa.
Wisconsin, Colorado, Texas and
Illinois-took part in the struS-
gle.
Gen. Samuel r. Curtis was in
command Of the Union forces,
which successfully defended the
State at this point from further
invasion and put Prices men to
retreat. Gen. Alfred Pleasanton,
with 1000 troops, arrived here in
time to help save the day for
the North.
William H, Cody buffalo
BilD was among the men wear
ing the blue uniform Of the Union
IN this battle.
Before invading the State Prices
army was victorious in a few
minor skirmishes in Arkansas, ana
he concentrated his forces at Poca-
hontas, Ark, twenty-five miles
from the Missouri line, before
starting the march to the scene
of the big engagement.
He captured 5000 stands of
small arms and a considerable
number of artillery pieces with
which to arm his men before he
made his drive for the objective
of his long march. He entered
the engagement here with more
than $4,000 men and was met by
a superior force of Union men
numbering about $4,000.
The entire Westport battle front
extends from a stream known as
the Little Blue, eight miles east
OF the court house. In Indepen-

WORDS FROM.
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

IF there be no good feeling,
the very name Of friendship
There is nothing which cannot
be accomplished by love.
Every man is satisfied with
his own fortune.
There is no grief which time
does not lessen and soften.
To be free from faults is a
great comfort.
There is no place so delightful
as ones own fireside.
Man should be seh-dependent
and have no doubts az to the
proper method OF living well
or i'll.
There is nothing specially de-
plorable in any individual having
to meet the fate which Is CON-
mon to mankind.
It is the greatest consolation
under adversely to be conscious
of having always meant well.
The best guesser shall always
be called the most sagaclous
prophet.
Nothing is more beautiful than
virtue; nothing more fair, nothing
more lovely.
Adversely is to friendship what
fire is to gold-the only infallible
test to discover the genuine from
the counterfeit.
To stumble twice against the
same stone is a disgrace.
To the free and Independent
the menaces Of any man are per-
fectly potent.
Look to philosophy to provide
an antidote to sorrow.
To yield to the times, that is.
to obey necessity, has always
been regarded as the act OF a
wise man.

dence, and ending where Indian
Creek crosses the Missouri-KansaS
State line, near where WornaH
road crosses Brush Creek in this
city.
Some Of the old houses which
were here during the battle still
remain today. The most pictur-
esque and famous of these are the
Wornall mansion, near the inter-
section of Wornall road and Sixty.
first street. and the old Mockbee
stone homestead, with it's ancient
we'll, at Seventy-seventh and
Holmes streets.
Occasional reminders Of the
battle are seen in a trip along
the highway where the battle was
fought. Last June an eight-pound
cannon ball was found. Minnie
balls, of the type used during the
civil war, and pieces of exploded
shells have been found in recent
years in trees and in the earth
on the battle site.
The battle was fought at a
time when Vicksburg and New
Orleans were held by the Union
forces; Sherman was at Atlanta
organizing for his famous march
through Georgia; Lee was suffer
ing tremendously from Grants
smashing drives, and the cam
paign to re-elect Lincoln already
was under way.
Lee surrendered at Appomattox
court house just five weeks later;
and a. decisive victory for Price
at Westport might have had an
important bearing on the result of
the war, or at least probably would
have prolonged the defeat Of the
Confederacy.
