SUES LUMBER FIRMS WtCKfRftHAM BEGINS ACTION UNDER SHERMAN ANTI­ TRUST LAW. CONSPIRACY IS THE CHARGE Government starts 8uit to End Trust Alleged to Hold luyere at Its Mercy All Over Country--More Than 150 Named as Defendants. New York.--Sweeping and sensa­ tional charges of a gigantic conspiracy to maintain high prices, to blacklist concerns not regarded as "proper- trade, and to violate generally the Sherman anti-trust law are made In a government suit filed by Attorney General Wlckersham in the United States circuit court here agaf&3t the lumber trust This is the government's first anti­ trust suit conforming to the Supreme court's decision iii the case of the Standard Oil company. I* was declared by government officials that this ie merely a precursor of a succession of similar suits to be brought against the giant monopolies of the country which have been responsible for the Increased cost of living Ten trade organizations ahd more than 150 individuals are named as de­ fendants. They are alleged to have conspired among themselves and with the assistance of the National Whole­ sale Lumber Dealers' association to prevent wholesalers from selling di­ rectly or indirectly to consumers. The defendant corporations are: The Eastern States Retail Lumber Dealers' association of New York, with offices at 18 Broadway, The New York Lumber Trade asso­ ciation of this city. The Building Material Men's asso­ ciation of Westchester county, N. Y. The Lumber Dealers' association of Connecticut. The Lumber Dealers' association of Rhode Island. The Retail Lumbermen's association of Baltimore. The officers and directors, trustees and members of the following are named as individual defendants, as well as the officers and directors and members of the following voluntary organizations: The New Jersey Lum­ bermen's Protective association of Philadelphia and the Lumber Ex­ change of the District of Columbia. Attorney General Wlckersham and Special Assistant Clark McKercher have devoted more than a year to gathering the evidence upon which the suit is based. The evidence In­ cludes copies of the alleged agree­ ments, blacklists and reports of the various organizations, branding whole­ salers and retailers who have dared violate the rules of the trust as "poachers," "scalpers," "mavericks" and "illegitimate dealers" to whom "short shifts" must be applied. Officials both here and in Washing­ ton said that the advisability of crim­ inal actions against Individual officials of the trust would depend upon the nature of the evidence adduced at the trial Many of the great industrial con­ cerns of the country, it is alleged, have been put under the ban of the trust The government takes the position that any agreement or act which pre­ vents a consumer from buying where he cboses, or to his best advantage, is in "unreasonable" restraint of trade. The department of Justice has been making a nation-wide investigation of the lumber situation, and Attorney General Wlckersham has found that it is parallel with that of many other commodities in dally use*- If the courts sustain the government's contention there is every likelihood of a sweep­ ing attack all along the line. GREAT CONFERENCE ON KINO GEORGE* MEETS WITH THE PREMIERS OF COLONIES^ England's Attitude Toward Her Over- teas Dominions May Be Changed by Reforms They Advocate. J London. -- The most Important event, politically, In the" whole three months that England Is devoting to the coronation festivities took place when the prime ministers of the Commonwealth of Australia, the Do­ minion of Canada, the Union of South Africa, the Dominion of New Zealand and Newfoundland and the king and his cabinet convened for the much-heralded imperial conference, to consider every topic in which a world-wide empire Is interested, from national defense to the design of pen­ ny postage stamps. This is the first official meeting of the new sovereign and his colonial premiers, and It is expected thta England's attitude toward her possessions will be materi­ ally changed as a result of the re­ forms advocated by the different do- minions and their ministers. Chief among many interesting ques­ tions raised by the,, delegates from England's colonies in their dispatches to the home government when the im­ perial conference was first proposed, Is a resolution from the Union of South Africa relative to England's po­ sition on trade preference. Tills res­ olution reads : "That the desirability be considered of replacing the system of trade pref­ erence at present granted by the over­ seas dominions to Great Britain by a system of contributions in money or services to imperial naval and local defense." This resolution, coming as It did at a time when the Canadian reciprocity agreement was pending before both the legislature at Washington and the dominion parliament at Ottawa, Can­ ada, raised a storm of protest among English citizens. In fact so strong was the pressure brought to bear upon the ministry of South Africa by the home government that the governor general, Lord Gladstone, submitted a letter recalling this section of the tentative resolutions for discussion be­ fore the imperial conference, stating that he had been advised by his min­ istry that they desired to postpone the debate upon trade preference, but "that the right honorable the prime minister hoped that he would have op­ portunity during his stay in London to discuss the question raised with his majesty's government. Apart from the qura&on of prefer­ ence several subjects TO! the most vi­ tal importance to the future of the empire are to be raised. Australia will move to rescind the objection­ able feature of the declaration of London, and New Zealand has two equally important resolutions, one re­ lating to the establishment of an im- perian council and the other the reor­ ganization of the coolnial office. #§ ahead of vm imw MftN IN "SdWfc* ii&v.iVf DflBM WEEK THflt I BOUGHT ,S»2tS FBtT J PEACE AGREEMENT IS SIGNED STREETS STREWN WITH DEAD Many Die in Sanguinary Battle Be­ tween Federals and Rebels at Cuautla, Mexico.

Washington, D. C.--Governor Chase S. Osborne again boosted the presi­ dent's reciprocity program and com­ mended Representatives Young and Loud of Michigan for supporting it "Ninety-five per cent of the people of Michigan want it," he said. "Sixty- seven per cent, of the country papers of the state are for it and at a recent debate at the Michigan State Agricul­ tural college, at which the president and dean opposed reciprocity and younger members of the faculty fa­ vored it, 1,100 students, all farmers' boys, voted 3 to 1 for it. There is no doubt where Michigan stands on the issue." Brides are falling on hard times and stt.n advisers. One matrimonial ex­ pert denounces their tendency to keep their husbands' love by making them­ selves beautiful, and another declares that to make their homes happy they must learn to cook. But it is doubt­ ful if the up-to-date brides will heed such advice. They are beginning to \ believe that women ought to have I some of the fun which is going on on the earth.

PREMIER AND SON •i- INJURED Several Others Are Hurt When Avia­ tor Loses Control of Airship and It Swoops Down Upon Spectators at Start of Big Race. Paris.--Henri Maurice Berteaux, minister of war, was killed, Antolne E. Monis, premier of France and min­ ister of the interior, and his son, An- toine, Jr., were severely injured,- and Henri de la Mourthe, an aged aeronau­ tic expert, and several others painfully hurt when a monoplane, driven by Aviator Train, became unmanageable and plunged into a crowd of specta­ tors at Issy Les Molineaux. The accident occurred at the start of what may still be the most ambi­ tious aviation event Europe has ever known--a race from Paris to Madrid. The distance is 900 miles, divided into three stagey each aeroplane to carry a driver and one passenger. So great was the interest in this event that the premier, the members of his cabinet and 150,000 spectators were gathered at Issy, which field bears the same relation to Paris that Belmont park bears to New York. To prevent the spectators from crowding around the hangars and upon the starting green, troops of cavalry were stationed in the field. Conditions were not propitious from the start. A strong and ever- Increasing wind swept across the field. By the time the three contest­ ants had, by skillful maneuvering, ta­ ken to the air, the gale had Increased to thirty miles an hour. The fourth oontestant arose unsteadily, swung into the teeth of the wind, lost his balance and fell heavily. Both the aviator and his passenger escaped with bruises, although the aeroplane was smashed to bits. Train had made one circle and, al­ though still quite close to the ground, appeared to be in complete control. As he swung around the second time, a troop of cavalry moving across the field appeared directly in his path. Train moved his planes desperately, hoping In the strong winds to rise sufficiently to sail over the soldiers and their mounts. He succeeded In rising, but lost control of his machine, which swung in the direction of a group con­ taining the most distinguished specta­ tors on the field, and then crashed heavily upon them. Premier Monis, his son Antoine, Jr., Minister Berteaux, Henri de la Mourthe, the latter famous throughout France as an expert on aeronautics, were scattered right and left as though they were ten-pins struck by a ball. Berteaux, struck by the whirl­ ing propeller, was dead when taken from the ground. The injuries to Monis were at first believed to be fa­ tal, but the doctors state that he will probably survive. Strange as It may appear, Train and his passenger escaped practically un­ hurt, although their machine was smashed to splinters. Maurice Berteaux, the dead fninis- ter of war, was one of the most bril­ liant men in France. He was a So­ cialist. DEMAND U. S. PROBE ILLINCiS UPPER BODY ASKS THAT LORIMER INQUIRY BE 1 OPENED.

Illinois calling upon the federal sen ate to take action.

Senator Dillingham announced that he proposed to press his resolution a( a substitute. Senator La Follette said he would offer amendments tc his own resolution. He then under­ took a brief review of the Lorimei case which, he said, disclosed the fol­ lowing undisputed facts: That Charles A. White confessed he was bribed to vote for Lorimer, re­ ceiving $1,900 therefor. That grand juries investigated the confession and that during "their work two other members of the legislature confessed receiving "Lorimer money," leaving no doubt as to theli guilt. That another member, since de ceased, was proved present at distri­ butions of "Lorimer money." Senator La Follette first discussed representative government. He said the government was representative ae long as senators obeyed the popular will and were elected without the in­ terposition of any outside power, He asked senators to conceive a man holding such a trust sitting silently by with his title tainted. He said the de­ lay by Senator Lorimer had brought great opprobrium on the senate itself. Senator La Follette attacked the sen­ ate system of courtesy as helping to veil and undermine representative government. He said the system ex­ cused and palliated violations of the high principles which senators brought from home. He said there was some purpose behind it, and that, moreover, he could not understand how Senator Lorimer could rest under the charges against him. -- •wJtli friended all wondering what you can drink to quench the thirst--some­ thing that you'll all enjoy--suggest COCA-COLA. : Bve one will thank you for an in­ troduction to the most delicious, re­ freshing and thirst-quenching beverage that anyone could drink.

Washington.--Senater Nelson of Minnesota attacked President Taft before the senate finance committee for seeking to prevent the senate from amending the Canadian reciprocity bill. He declared that the constitu­ tion made the senate part of the treaty making power of the country and offered several amendments to the measure. Senator Nelson's amend­ ments would reduce about one-half the existing tariff rates on most farm products. To put farm products on the free list, he declared, «was legislating directly against the fafrmer. "President Taft is evading the Con­ stitution of the United States," he asserted, "when he tries to force the senate to accept this agreement as it was presented. He is trifling with the senate of the United States." Nelson urged the committee to con­ sider carefully his proposed amend­ ments. He said the senate had amend­ ed previous treaties and that there was no valid reason why It should not amend the Canadian agreement.

It kept a con­ stant itching and burning all the time, night and day. I went to my doctor, but he could do me no good after I do not know how many medicines he gave me, and then told me I would be compelled to go to a skin special­ ist which I positively refused to do. I cried all the time. Finally I made up my mind to try Cuticura Rem­ edies, and tried Cuticura Pills, Oint­ ment and Soap, and was entirely cured of the itching three days after I started using them.

But the child re­ fused to be kissed; she struggled loose and ran off into the next room, where her mother was putting a few finishing touches to her adornment be­ fore going into the drawing room to greet the clergyman. "Mamma," the little girl whispered, "the man-in the drawing room wanted me to kiss him." "Well," replied mamma, "why didn't you let him? I would if I were you." Thereupon Anna ran back intq the drawing room, and the minister asked: "Well, little lady, wont you kiss me now?" ".No, I won't," replied Anna prompt­ ly, "but mamma says she will."--Ex­ change.
