STANDARD DUSTED FROM TENNESSEE United States Supreme Court Upholds the State Anti- Trust Law THE LUMBER TRUST DISBANDED Fight Started In Year 1907—Every Contention Made by the Oil Com pany is Decided Against It —Justice Lurton Announced Opinion. Washington, D. C., May 10.—The hands of the states in their light against combinations were upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States with telling effect. The Association of Retail Lumber Dealers in Mississippi and Louisiana was disbanded by affirmance of the docree of the Supreme Court of Missis sippi; the Standard Oil Company of Kentucky was ousted from Tennessee by the approval of the decree of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. Hoth, the state courts had held, had violated the anti-trust acts of the respective states. Justice Lurton announced the opin ion of the court in tho Mississippi case. It was his first utterance from the Supreme Court bench on the com bination question, lie said the mem bers of the association had obligated themselves not to deal with any manu facturer or wholesaler in lumber who sold to consumers In the localities in which they conducted a business suffi ciently large to meet the demands of the public. He accepted the findings of the state courts, and considered only whether the statute was in con flict with the Fourteenth Amendment by abridging the freedom of contract. The proceedings in the Standard Oil case were begun in 1907 under the Tennessee anti-trust act. The Standard and two of its agents were indicted under the state anti trust act. One of the agents was con victed, but the Standard escaped pun ishment on the ground that it could not be fined under the act. but could only be ousted. Ouster proceedings ] were then begun against it, being based on the Gallatin transaction. The state courts issued an ousting decree, from which an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. This appeal was based on the.argu ment that the alleged criminal agree ment, if it were an offence, was an of fence against the federal law, the Sherman anti-trust law, and not an of fence against the laws of Tennessee; that the statute was unconstitutional because it violated the equal protec tion and due process clauses of the Constitution and because the statute of limitations was effective. Justice Holmes announced the opin ion of tlie court. All the contentions of the company were disposed of fav orably to the state. TWO MEN KILLED, 20 INJURED.

Lloyd fell back into the blazing struc ture and perished in the flames. Schu mann, who was found lying on the riv er bank a hundred yards away, lost a leg and an arm and was frightfully burned. Francis Carney died from his injuries. HEIKE MUST STAND TRIAL. Supreme Court Disallows Sugar Man's Immunity Plea at This Stage. Washington, D. C., May 9.—Charles R. Helke, former secretary of the American Sugar Company, will be compelled to stand trial on an Indict ment of conspiracy to defraud the Government out of sugar custom* The Supreme Court of the United States so decided. Heike's trial was set for May 10, and upon request of Solicitor-General Bowers the mandate of the court was directed to be issued at once. This will insure Heike's hearing on the merits of his case. Helke claimed immunity from trial because he testified before a Grand Jury at an anti-trust inquiry. BIG STEEL PENSION FUND. Corporation Adds $8,000,000 to Carne gie's $4,000,000 Gift. New York, N. Y.. May 9.- Chairman Gary of the United States Steel Cor poration announced that $8,000,000 had been set aside as a fund with which to pension superannuated and disabled employees. He announced also that an agreement had been en tered into with Andrew Carnegie by which the new fund is to be consoli dated with the $4,000,000 fund created by Mr. Carnegie shortly after he sold out his holdings In the Carnegie Steel Company to the United States Steel Corporation. The new fund therefore will be $12,- 000,000 and will be known as "The United States Steel and Carnegie Ten sion Fund." [THE, WAY TO A J MAN'S HEART ] §n—.nn , nil—un——nn—iw eg John Bolles was what is known as a confirmed old bachelor, but, after becoming a regular visitor at the de lightful suburban home of the lovely Grldley girls, presided over by their widowed mother, It gradually grew plain to Bolles that the life ofTered by the hotels and clubs did not satis fy the homing instincts of the human heart. The girls were beauties, and a love of beauty was one of Bolles' weak points. He was fortunate enough to bask In the good graces of Mrs. Gridley, a splendid woman from whom the daughters inherlte'd their good looks. A rich bachelor of good family, good habits and good breeding, who tells a sufficiently pltlfull story of the monotony of hotel cooking and the loneliness of taking one's meals with only a newspaper for a companion, is sure to appeal to the sympathies of some home maker, and Bolles became a privileged family friend, at liberty to drop in at meals and join the home circle informally. Mrs. Grldley was an ideal hostess, and withal she knew how to cook and personally superin tended the culinary details of her household. Bolles was something of an epicure, and the viands which ap peared on Mrs. Gridley's table ex celled anything his favorite club had to offer. In consideration of these hospitali ties Bolles feted the girls at exclusive clubs and Indulged them in motor rides and operas. The younger men couldn't keep up with him in these matters, and, in spite of inevitable riv alry, he felt that he had a reasonable chance with the Gridley girls. His sense of honor restrained him from paying marked attention to any one of these young maidens without first obtaining their mother's sanction, and he intended, as soon as his wavering fancy could fix itself, to ask the ma ternal permission to press his suit for the maid of his choice. But, owing to the capricious distribution among the three of the especial points of beauty mentioned as appealing most strongly to his susceptibilities, he found it ex tremely difficult to locate his heart. Sally's eyes played havoc with his soul, and he framed a little speech to be delivered to Mrs. Gridley at an op portune moment. It began in this wise: "Mrs. Gridley, I have a most im portant question to ask. Do you think Sally could learn to care for me?" He went so far as to deliver the first part of this address, with some nervousness. The mother dropped her white lids, and, as he was gather ing courage to put the question, his artlsic eye was beguiled by the sweet ness of her mouth and the clear line of her chin, and his shallow heart straightway turned to Jane, who had thai same mouth and chin in its per fection. In his sudden indecision, and being obliged to conclude his remark, he asked, "May 1 have your recipe for mincemeat for my sister in Buffalo?" On still another occasion, when, with a dry tongue he had tried to con fess to her his love for Ruth, the lady turned the clear, green gray eyes of Sally full upon htm, and he was lost again and ridiculously begged to be allowed to partake of baked beans with the family on the coming Satur day evening. He knew she must have thought him a fearful gourmand to be so affected by the prospects of a plate of beans, but that was the only sub stitute his panic-stricken Intellect could make. In desperation he resolved to begin all over again, with Sally as his heart's desire. One evening at the Gridley's, after a dinner which lingered in his mem ory, Mrs. Gridley and Bolles were sit ting alone by the cheerfull library fire. The girls had gone skating with a rol licking crowd. Their mother was en gaged with a bit of needlework be neath the softly shaded lamp, and her guest was absently regarding her. He was wondering If she could make a chicken pie like that which even now beguiled his memory. He was sure she could not. Suddenly he became aware that he was earnestly studying the face of his hostess as she bent over her sewing. For the first time he seemed to see her with an identity of her own, instead of a beautiful com posite of her daughters. The sudden revelation that came to him caused the blood to leave his head with a queer cooling ofT process, and he felt a strange calmness and clearness of vision. Then the blood came leaping back and his heart began to pound. "Mrs. Gridley." he began in agita tion. "Dear Mrs. Grldley, at last I know what I want." "I think 1 can guess," she laughed, and Bolles noted a tinge of bitterness in the laugh. "You want to help us with the fish cakes Sunday morning." The shaft went home and Bolles knew It was merited. "Dearest Margaret," he said hum bly, "I deserve that But even your discernment has not fathomed the ex tent of my desire. I want to help with the fish cakes every morning!" And the sewing work was cast ruth lessly aside. When the girls came home, breezy and giggling, they seemed very young Indeed and positively tiresome. They were not In the least surprised to hear that Mr. Bolles was going to marry their mother. It was evident they had considered him all along as her ad mirer. And so he had been, but It had taken him some time to wake up to It. How the lady herself had regard ed him may be left to the astuteness of the reader—ANNlH REYNOLDS.

OOOOCXXXXXXXDOOCOOOOCCCCXJCS Washington, May 10. —After more than a dozen years of delay and red tape, the bodies of the officers and sail ors who went to their death when the battleship Maine was blown up in tlia harbor of Havana will be recovered for burial. The mast of the 111-fated wur ahip will be made a perpetual monu ment for those who have so long been neglected. The Senate passed the House bill without amendment, instructing the Secretary of War and the Chief of Army Engineers to raise the vessel. Nothlhg but the signature of the Presi dent now prevents the measure from becoming a law. It is provided that all the bodies found shall be Interred in Arlington National Cemetery. The mast of the battleship will be placed near the graves. The bill appropriates SIOO,- 000 for the worn. The consent of the Cuban authori ties must first be obtained, but no diifl culty there is anticipated. During the past twelve years many bills have been introduced in both branches of Congress to raise the Maine, and petitions have been con tinually received from all sections of the country praying that the sunken ship be raised and its Imprisoned vic tims brought home for interment. The Chief of Engineers said that following an order from the Secretary of War a diver would be sent down to make an examination. The methods of raising the Maine will depend en tirely on what the diver reports. FAVOR BIG STICK. Leaders Still See Hope for Taft Leg islative Programme. Washington, May 9.- Some of the Senate leaders, less pessimistic than those who advise the abandonment of the Taft legislative programme and the immediate adjournment of Con gress, will lay before the President on his return to Washington a proposi tion that the time has come when it Is necessary for him to take the big stick from its hiding place and wave it in the faces of Republican Senators and Representatives who are standing In the way of his legislative plans. They take the position that to aban don the railroad bill, the postal sav ings bhnk bill, the statehood bill and conservative legislation would be a confession of weakness entirely out of hprmoriv with the historv and record 8 /ANTED- A JtIDER ACEHTSS ample Latest Model bicycle furnished by ui.
