Jh VOLUME 4. NUMBER 58. [0 PROBE ELEVATORS|COURT UPHOLDS POSITION BENATE PASSES LA FOLLETTE'S RESOLUTION ORDERING AN INVESTIGATION. SAYS FARMERS ARE THE SUFFERERS CHARGES MONOPOLY OF BUSI- NESS BY INDIVIDUALS ON CERTAIN LINES, ‘Washington, June 26.—The senate ! has passed Senator La Follette’s joint resolution extending the scope of the inquiry now being conducted by the Interstate commerce commission un- der the Tillman-Gillespie resolution so as to have it include the transporta- tion and storage of grains. Speaking in support of the resolu- tion Mr. La Follette said the country had been astounded at the revelations that had been made in the matter of the combination between the coal pro- ducing industry and the railroads and | he felt satisfied that the prosecution of inquiry would show as bad a condi- tlon in the grain business. He as- serted that corruption had been dis- covered at every place where inquiry had been made and asserted that “the whole system 1is permeated with fraud.” In support of his contentions he said that testimony taken by the commission indicates a joint owner- ship between the railroads and the elevator companies to the detriment of the farmers, who are entitled to a free and open market He then gave the names of individuals and corpora- tions which had secured such inside privileges as to give them monopolies along varlous Western railroad lines. MERCHANT REFUSES TO PAY FOR GOODS VOLUNTARILY PUR- CHASED FROM TRUST. St. Louis, June 26.—In the circuit court Judge Ryan decided in favor of a purchaser who contended that he does not have to pay for goods which he voluntarily bought from a concern which, he alleges, is a member of a so-called trust. The Cahill-Swift Man- ufacturing company had brought suit for $240 against Joseph E. Walsh, a plumber, on the allegation that Walsh had bought goods to the value of the judgment asked and had refused to pay for them. Walsh acknowledged that this was true and stated he had installed the goods in a flat. His counsel termed the company a “trust” and argued that the defendant did not have to pay for goods bought from a trust any more than he would have to pay a gambling debt. Walsh's de- fense was based solely, upon his anti- trust argument and the court’s de- cislon was in his favor. RESULT OF OVERWORK. Governor Harris of Ohio Compelled to Take to His Bed. Eaton, O., June 26.—Although Gov- ernor Harris has been compelled to take to his bed because of an acute attack of indigestion his family ex- presses little alarm over his condition, which is regarded as a natural result of the strain of the past week.

Philadelphia, June 26.—This city is to be the scene of the first great pros- ecutions to be brought by the govern- ment against the Pennsylvania rail road and the Standard Oil company. Arrangements for the prosecutions will be completed this week in New York at a conference between Alex- ander Simpson, Jr., of this city and Charles E. Hughes. = The chief question under considera- tion is the advisability of individual prosecutions against A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania. This was plainly indicated by a lawyer who has been intimately associated with Interstate commerce commission hear- ings. By both the commissioners and the special counsel appointed by the at- torney general to follow the testimony and prepare for the prosecution it i7 believed more good can be accom- plished by centering prosecution upon Mr. Cassatt than by scattering energy over the prosecutions of the presi- dents of all the railroads concerned, most of which are directly or indi- rectly controlled by the Pennsylvania. 50 dozen Ladies’ fine handkerchiefs the 10c kind at 5c-each. _ wide, plain colors styles "in fancies, a yard,..........
