RKKi ACT ViOlATES Suit Is Expected to Rank In Import ance With Those of Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco Company, Now Pending. A dispatch from New York says* The federal government has begun one of its most important actions against great corporations, which are said to have violated the Sherman anti-trust law. Henry A. Wise, United States district attorney, filed in the United States district court for the southern district of New York a peti tion asking for the dissolution of the American Sugar Refining company and twenty-nine other corporations, which compose the so-called sugar trust. The petition charges an illegal com bination in restraint of trade and asks from the court relief in whatever form may be necessary, including a receiv ership if deemed advisable. The thirty companies composing the sugar combine have an aggregate cap italization of $23d,000,000 and control a large percentage of the output of sugar in this country. The combine is able, the government alleges, to fix prices arbitrarily. The petition charges that for years the companies have violated the law and have op pressed competitors and ground them COPPER COMPANY. W1!\3S. Fighting Capitalists DR. WARREN DIES. Rector of Trinity Church, New Or leans, Passes Away. Rev. Dr. Beverley E. Warner, rector of Trinity church of New Orleans, and one of the best known Episcopal cler gymen of the country, died at his home in that city Sunday. The imme diate cause of his death was heart fail ure, follo'.ving a brief attack of la grippe. The announcement from Trin ity pulpit to the congregation that their pastor was dead brought forth a touching manifestation of grief, men and women weeping audibly. Dr. Warner was born in Jersey City, N. J., October 14, 1855. He was or dained a minister of the Protestant Episcopal church in 1879. He was for some years rector of St. Stephen’s church in Philadelphia, and had been pastor of Trinity church. New Or leans, for many years. In addition 14. his attainments in the church, Dr. Warner was well known as an author on literary and sociological topics. Among his writings are: “Troubled Waters,” a novel; “Eng« lish History in Shakespeare’s Plays,” and “The Young Man in Modern Life. ’ for Injunction, Lose Case.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPES. Piano Blown to Bits, But Duet Player Uninjured. A gas explosion in a cellar at lirockton, N. Y., reduced to kindling wood a piano on which two young ^vomen were playing a duet in the room overhead. Both almost miracu lously escaped injury. Two young men who were listening to the music were blown into the street, and the noise was heard a mile away. Ten other persons had narrow escapes. Samuel F. Perkins dropped 125 feet at Kansas City, while being supported in the air by a string of kites. The top kite collapsed in a 60-mile gale and Perkins was only saved from se rious injury by the parachute effect of the smaller kitQs. •p0jnfui iCisnoiaes ejoAi sn‘R0’T-''-^-3 puB jeiqoK *0 T '^dng jicaj VAO^sjBg JO :^SB0 :jno iiooj "e aijfinBUiCp jo no{so[dxd ajn^^raejfl ® }o ^insej B SB pBdp u©ui 0A{^ PRIZE RING FATALITIES. Unprecedented Number of Deaths Dur Ing Year 1910. j In all the history of the prize ring, from Tom Cribbs’ time down to the present time, there has never been re corded in a single year anything ap proaching the number of deaths di rectly due to boxing contests that have occurred thus far this season. The death at Presque Isle, Maine, of Biily Dunning, one of the few box ers who could point to a draw with Jack Johnson, the world’s heav.vweiglit champion, made the sixteenth fatality in the prize ring in 1910, while there are at least two other boxers now lying at this point in hospitals, one being the veteran, Andy Daly, famous ten years ago. These fatalities of the prize ring have extended from the eastern coa-st of Maine to the Pacific ocean, and as far south as Bluefields, Nicaraugua, where a corporal in Uncle Sam’s serv ice met his death in a friendly contest with the gloves. In the past, two or three deaths in a season from boxing have been sufficient to attract general attention, while many years not a single fatality has been reported. The total of sixteen to date in 1910 is unprecedented. In the majority of instances the victims have been ex perienced boxers, whose injuries were received in scheduled bouts, before recognized “fight clubs.” A. C. McGhee, a policeman on the Birmingham force, was struck by a taxicab driven by Robert Burns, whitf>, and was so badly hurt that he died a couple of hours later at St. Vincent’s hospital, where he was taken soo'i after the accident. Fifteen fishermen are supposed to have been drowned off Charleston, 3. C., their smacks having been missing for several days. A report says a smack was sighted floating bottom up ward. sulphurous fumes from which, it is claimed, have been ruining the timbor belonging to Ladew and his associates in Georgia. Several years ago the state of Geor gia began proceedings to stop the al leged destruction. The first step taken by Georgia resulted in an announce ment from the supreme court of the United States that it would issue an injunction upon the request of the state for the abatement of the alleged nuisance. This application was not made and Ladew and his associates began the fight as individuals for an injunction. The circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Ten nessee dismissed the petition for an injunction on the ground that the ac tion for the abatement of a nuisance was not a suit of a local nature, ^o enforce a claim against real estate, and as neither of the parties were domiciled within the district, the court had no jurisdiction. From this decis ion an appeal was taken to the su preme court. The court has approved the finding of the lower court. UFE SENTENCE IS GIVEJ^WENDUNG Fcund GffiltyOn Circumstait'id Evidence at Icuisviile. PROTESTED HIS MCENCE The Evidence, However, Pointed. 80 Strongly to Janitor as the Slayer of Alma Kellner That Jury Had Little Trouble In Reaching Agreement. Joseph Wendling, at Louisville, Ky., was found guilty by a jury of the mur der of 8-year-old Alma Kellner and his punishment fixed at life imprison ment. The verdict came after a day spent in argument by attorneys and the reading of the instructions of Judg3 Gregory. Although there were four possible verdicts the jury might have returned under the instructions of the court, the verdict was merely ‘‘mur- der.” The evidence presented against Wendling was purely circumstantial. Since his arrest and throughout his trial, he denied any knowledge of the fate of the Kellner child. Witnesses testified, however, that Wendling, the janitor at St. John’s Catholic church, was seen in the church the morning Alma Kellner last went there to mass. The child was never seen again, and months later charred and dismembered portions of her body were found hidden beneath the church music room. Alma Kellner was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kellner, of Louis* ville, and a niece of Frank Fehr, brewery ?'ho f.pent much time an*i money in the search for th<^-chllt| and in the prosecution of Wendling. The trial has been one of the most celebrated ever held in the state. County Government*. Representative—G. W. Wilson. Clerk Superior Court—T. T. Loftis. Sheriff and Tax Collector—C. C. Kilpat rick.

A total of the Times-Democrat for the cotton crop of 1910, as based ori reports from correspondents througn- out the cotton belt, relates to the actual growth of the year and is ex clusive of linters, repacks, etc. By states the crop is given as fol lows : Alabama 1,165,000 Arkansas 700,OOn Georgia and Florida 1,825,000 Louisiana 255,000 Mississippi 1,200,000 North Carolina 700,000 Oklahoma 900,000 Tennessee 300,000 Texas 3,200,000 Correspondents s?.y that farmers have hitherto sold freely, as a rule, but are inclined to hold the remnant.

The population of the United Sta\os should be 91,193,490, if the rate of Increase shown by states on which complete returns have been received j and tabulated by the census office is ' maintained. Counting New Mexico and Arizona for present purposes as states, the full returns of the enumeration under the thirteenth census have been tabulated for three out of forty-nine and the District of Columbia. They show a grand total of 66,355,178, as against 53,299,626, for the same area in 1900. This is a gain of just 20 per cent, over the 75,994, 575, indicated by the census of 1900. A corresponding increase for the sixteen remaining states would bring the figures for the entire coun try to the number stated. The states not yet announced are Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisi ana, Mississippi, Montana, New Jer sey, North Dakota, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wy oming. Of these, it is expected that Texas and Washington will show very large increases and that Georgia, New Jersey, Montana, Utah, Wyoming and the Dakotas will go beyond the aver age, so there is little doubt that the exact grand totals will be even more than the present tabulation indicates. It would not be surprising if the ag gregate would be almost 91,500,000. which is 1,500,000 more than has been generally estimated. — — • ^ Wants to Help some One. For thirty years J. F. Boyer, of Fertile, Mo., needed help and could not find it. That’s why he wants to help son^e one now. Suffering so long himself he feels for all distress from backache, nervousnes*:^, loss of appetite, lassitude and kidney dis orders. He shows that Electric Bit ters work wonders for such troubles. “Five bottles,’’ he write.5, “wholly cured me and now I am well and hearty.” It’s a^so positively giinr- anteed for Liver Trouble, dyspepsia blood disorders female complaints and malaria.
