IN LEBOUEF DEATH
State Ready to Prosecute
Widow, Doctor and Trap
per for Murder.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
FRANKLIN, La. July o5.--While
defense attorneys remained silent as
to their plans, the State announced
today it was ready to start it's effort
to send three persons to the gallows
for the alleged murder of James j.
Lebouef, superintendent of the Morgan
City branch of the Louisiana Public
Utilities co.
Trial of the three defendants, Mrs.
Ada Bonner Lebouef widow of the
victim: DR.. Thomas +. Dreher, promi-
nent Morgan City physician, and
James Beadle. fisherman and trapper,
was scheduled TO begin in the ST. Mary
Parish courthouse.
Charges Trapper Fired Shots.
DR.. Dreher, according to the an
nouncement of Sheriff Charles Pecot,
confessed that he participated in the
crime, but he accused Beadle of firing
the fatal shots. Mrs. Lebouef, the
sheriff said, confessed to witnessing
the crime, but claimed she did not
recognize the assailants. Beadle has
remained silent throughout. except to
insist that he knows nothing of the
Staying and to declare that any one
who says he killed Lebouef is liar"
The Staying is alleged to have taken
place July l. while Lebouef and his
wife were riding in two boats. The
State contends that DR.. Dreher and
Beadle approached in another boat
and that Lebouef was fatally shot at
the time. His body was then split
open to keep it from floating, it is
alleged, and cast into the waters Of
Lake Palourde, weighed down with
two heavy angle irons.
Body Found by Hunters.
The body was found five days later
in the lake by frog hunters. Investi-
cation by Sheriff Pecot resulted in
the arrest of the three persons.
What move the defense attorneys
will take has not been disclosed.
James r. Parkerson. chief of the de-
Tense counsel. has declined to divulge
any of his plans for the trial.
Il have an adequate defense for all
three and l expect to clear them of
the charge" is all he would say.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, June 16.-Splendid
progress made during the year
warrants the belief that General
Motors Corporation may pay an
other stock dividend and raise the
dividend rate on its common stock
this year, an analysis published by
Dow-JoneS & Co. said today.
On the basis of General Motors
current quotation and earning abil-
ity 100 per cent stock dividend
would seem conservative, the analy-
sis said. That would bring the price
Of the present stock to around 100.
The company could safely main
tain a regular dividend equal to $40
share on present stock against its
current So rate, it was pointed out.
That could mean SIS share on the
stock after the split-up.
Revised estimates now place earn
ings of General Motors for the first
six months around $14.5O to SIS a
Share on 100000 shares of common
stock outstanding. The years earn
ings are estimated between $685.
100000 and $220.000,000 or around

PROSECUTION OF
TRUSTS HANDED
HARSH SETBACK
Court Decides Corporation
Size No Evidence of
Intent.
Ru Times SpecinL

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Fed-
eral prosecution of trusts has re-
ceived a severe setback in the Su-
preme Courts decision that the
mere size Of a corporation is no
evidence of monoponstic intent, it
was admitted here today.
While the decision, rendered in
the Governments suit against the
International Harvester Company,
establishes no new principle of law,
it will tend to reduce the Depart
ment of Justices antitrust bureau
to a role of watchful waiting.
In tones of unprecedented impress
siveneSs, the court ruled that overt
acts designed to control prices or
restrict competition must be the
sole test in all future actions.
Effectiveness Destroyed
But in the same decision the court
destroyed the effectiveness of one
of the most active agencies in COL
lecting this latter kind of evidence.
For it held that information gath
cred by the Federal Trade Commits
sion, even though acting in response
to a congressional resolution. must
be regarded only as hearsay evil
dence, and cannot be used in actual
trial Of suit.
The fact that six members Of the
highest court, with none dissenting,
found evidence of unusual power
and unparalleled resources to be no
indication of a corporations desire
to control prices is expected to have
a great effect on the course Of
business mergers and consultations
of a kind previously frowned upon
by the Department of Justice.
In the steel trust case, decided in
1920, the court split four to three,
with two not participating, on the
question of whether size was a fac
tor to be considered in defining
and dissolving a trust.
Issue Still Moot One
Such a close margin naturally
tended to warn business that the
issue was still moot one, even in
the highest tribunal. The fact that
the non-participating members were
Justices Brandeis and McReynolds,
reckoned as liberals on the bench,
also served as a brake on business.
But the vote of six to nothing in
the Harvester case. with three not
participating. gave this interpreta-
ton of the law a substance it did
not possess before. Oddly enough,
two who took no part in the later
action we're Justices Brandeis and
McReynolds, the third being Justice
Stone. All we're disqualified because
of previous connection with the liti-
cation.
These two decisions also serve to
illustrate that the Supreme Court
can, through changes in personnel,
change its mind. The majority
opinion in the steel trust case was
represented by Justices White, Van
Devanter. McKenna and Holmes.
The dissenters we're Justices Day,
Pitney and Clarke.
Justices McKenna and Holmes
held the same view in the Harvester
case, the four others being Chief
Justice Taft and Associate Justices
Sutherland, Butler and Sanford.
The last four were Harding ap-
pointees.
1t was Taft's Attorney General
who inaugurated the proceedings
against the International Harvester
Company.
