Washington, June 27.—The area of
low pressure covering the lower Mis
sissippi and upper Mississippi valleys
yesterday morning has moved to the
{ northeast and is now central over
[ lake region. It has caused rains ge*
erally over the north central states
east of the Mississippi river as far
south as central Kentticky. There
have also been rains over the north
Pacific states and scattered showers
in Missotni. Arkansas, Oklahoma.
Georgia, and Alabama. There has
been no rains of consequence, how
ever. over the central states west
of the Mlssissinpi river.
Maximum temperatures above 90
fjeerees yesterday v.ere mainly con
fined to states south of Kansas and
the Ohio river.
The high area of pressure over the
Southeastern states developing
westward and ha& now spread into
the ' lower Mississippi valley. This

New York, June 27.—A civil suit
was filed in the United States court
today for the dissolution of the Peri
odical Clearing House and against
about a score of other magazine de
fendants. The petition, filed by Dis
trict Attorney Wfse, alleges unlaw
ful combination and conspiracy to
restrain intersetate trade and foreign
commerce in magazine and other pe
riodical publications.
The petition charges that the defen
dants since July, 1909, have been en
gaged in an illegal combination, a dis
solution of which is asked for.
The proceeding in equity is against
the Periodical Clearing House, Double
day, Page & Co., Crowell Publishing
Company, S. S. McClure Company,
Current Literature Publishing Cob-
pany, Phillips Publishing Company,
Harper & Bro., Leslie, Judge Co.; Re
view of Reviews Company, Interna

cation Company; Butterick Publishing
Company; Standard Fashion Com
pany; New Idea Publishing Company;

Magazine Company; Short Stories Co.;
limited; (hereinafter referred to as de
fendant publishers); Frank H. Double-
dav, Herbert S. Houston. Frederick L.
Collins, Charles D. Lanier ^and George
von Utassy.
The Periodical Clearing House in
the petition is described as a corpora
tion organized under the laws of the
state of New York carrying on busi
ness throughout the United States and
foreign nations, with its officers and
principal place of business in this city.
Its authorized capital stock is of the
par value of $2,000 consisting of 20
shares of the par value of $100 each,
of which fourteen are issued and out
standing.
The Suburban Press, 'S^ New York
corporatibn, Good Housekeeping, a
Massachusetts corporation, and Hamp
ton’s Magazine, a New York corpora
tion, together with the defendants, are
the stock holders of record of the de
fendant Periodical Clearing House;
Doubleday, Collins, Houston, Lanier
and Von Utassy constitute its board of
directors, and Houston, von Utassy and
Lanier are respectively Its president,
vice president and secretary and treas
urer. These officers of the Periodical
Clearing House are officials also of one
or the other of the defendant corpora
tions engaged in the publication of
magazines. .
The petition says that prior to July,
1909, there were and are now In this
country upwards of twenty thousand
corporations, co-partnerships and indi
viduals engaged in producing, publish
ing and selling periodicals in open and
free, competition; that following the
organization of the Periodical Clearing
House in July, 1909, notices were sent
to the principal subscription agencies
and agents In the country “notifying
them that they would have to sign the
contract with the Periodical Clearing
House, if such agencies intended to
further business with the ‘members’
of said Periodical Clearing House.”
The petition then recites that the
Periodical Clearing House prepared
a so-called “official price list” of ma
gazines and periodicals containing
rule^ governing of subscriptions and
“the publishers wholesale price list."
The petition continues:
“The contracts force upon agents
and require them to sell all periodi-
icals not listed in the aforesaid lists
at the regular publication price with
out any reduction whatsoever. The
purposes of many of the periodicals
listed in said lists have been and are
willing that the agencies shall sell
their periodicals to the public at
prices less than those fixed by the
defendants in said price lists, but
said agencies have been and are pre
vented by the aforesaid contracts
from selling' such subscriptions at
less than the prices fixed by the de
fendants and set forth in said lists."
It is alleged that the clearing
house had a system 9i fines for of-

Smith Tells of His Control of
5,000 Shares in the Utah-
Idaho Sugar Company—In-
teiesting Testimony,
By Associated Press.
Washington, June 27.—President
Joseph F. Smith, of the Mormon
church, was the principal witness at
today’s hearing of the house commit
tee on investigation of the so-called
sugar trust. The oath w^as administer
ed to him by Chairman Hardwick.
Mr. Smith was accompanied to the
hearing room by Senator Reed Smoot,
Bisnop C. N. Nlbley, business manager
of the Mormon church; Thomas R.
Cutler, a former bishop of the church,
and Representative Joseph HowcH.
With the party also was R. W. Young,
of Salt Lake City, counsel for the rep
resentatives of the Mormon hierarchy.
This was not Mr. Smith’s first ex
perience before a congressllnal com
mittee. Many present today when the
Mormon leader appeared recalled his
visit during the investigation into the
right of Senator Smoot to retain hia
seat.
Though his mission today was an en
tirely different one—submission to ex
amination as to business relations of
the Mormon church with the American
Sugar Refining Company, through the
Utah-Idaho Sugar Refining Company—•
it was expected that the interests of
his people in Mormonlsm would not
escape Inquiry.
Of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Refining
Company, in v/hich he has trustee
holdings, more than 400,000 shares are
owned by the sugar “trust” Henry
O. Havemeyer having taken a personal
interest in the experiment of the Mor
mons in the beet sugar industry and
financed their enterprise.
“Have you any official connection
with the Utah-Idaho Sugar Co?” asked
Chairman Hardwick at the outset of
today’s session.
“I am president of the company,”
Mr. Smith replied.
“Do you own any stock?”
“Yes, sir, I own about 5,000 shares
Individually.”
“Do you own any stock in a repre
sentative capacity?”
“Y'es, I hold 49,815 shares for the
church. Little is held in the name of
Joseph Smith, trustee.”
Mr. Smith said the church became
Interested in the Utah-Idaho ougar Re
fining Company when many people
w'ho subscribed failed to pay for their
stock and the company under bond to
complete a beet sugar factory was un
able to do it. The church was appealed
to by tne subscribers to assist, which
it did to the extettit of $50,000.
“Did the church veer go into partner
ship with Henry O. Havemeyer?”
“The church never did, but the
stockholders did.”
“Did the church take legal advice
as to w'hether the combination with
Mr. Havemeyer w'as lawful or unlaw
ful?”
“The church didn’t, but the com
pany consulted its attorneys, I think,
as to the legality of the deal. I am not
sure of that, but reasonably certain
that it was done. The chhurch Itself
has nothing to dD with the business
investments or holdings. .Its business
holdings are looked after by me as
trustee'and I do the best I can. The
church itself takes no part.'
