Judge' Sandborn in the suit which the attorney-began on December 27, I9O4, to dissolve a combination be tween the General "Paper Company and' 23 other defendants, on the ground that an agreement had been entered into by the defendants in restraint, of interstate commerce. Attorney Kelogg1. for the govern ment, and Attorney Flanders, for the defendants, appeared before Judge Sandborn, sitting as a circuit, judge, and Mr. Kellogg moved that the mandate from the U nited States supreme court, affirming the order that the witnesses must testify, be filed. , .. -., The witnesses then appeared be fore the United States examiner and offered to testify, and the defend ants withdrew their answers. Mr Kellogg announced : that the gov trnment did, not care to examine the 'witnesses and moved for a de cree in favor r of the - government Judge Sanborn ordered that the de cree be entered and be Bettled on June 16, when the proceedings were adjourned. The three witnesses who refused to testify, namely, C. I. McNair, of the Northwestern Paper Company; A. C. o3sard, of the Itasca Pa per Company, and 6. F. Nelson, of the Hennepin Paper Company, paid iota court the-$100 fine as sessed, gainst each for contempt of court for refusing to answer the questions put to them at a former hearing. ' Tbe decision in this case really left nothine for tbe defendants to do but submit to judgment. The price of paper at the time this suit was brought was from $2.25 to $2.' 3O per hundred weight. The bring' ing of this suit already has had the efftct of reducing the price to abont $1.85. - Toe decision will be important to newspaper publishers throughout tha country. Competition will now be renewed by all the mills in the couutry. Washington, May xl . Attorney- General Moody, upon being ques tioned concerning the significance of the action of the defendants in withdrawing their action to the government's bill in the papar trust case today at St. Paul, said: This action on the part of con stituent companies tf the paper truBt terminates the litigation by the entry of a judgment for" all the government demanded in its bill and is a Complete" victory - for the United States. They manufacture substantially the sole supply 'of news prist and fibre paper of the district west of Chicago and East of the Rocky Mountains. ' . -t , . During the summer and autumn of I9O5 a large amount of testimony' was taken which tended to show the existence of the illegal combination as charged in the bill. During the taking of the testimony the ; de fendant corporations refused to Bhow their books and anawer questions, on the ground that such evidence was immaterial and that it would' tend to incriminate them. Proceed ings were thereupon- instituted in the United States district court for the eastern district of Wisconsin agd in the United States circuit court for the district, of Minnesota to punish for contempt for refusing to produce books and. answer ques tions. -: These cases' were argued in the 6upreme"" court' of" the United States on January 2, 1906, with the case of Hale'vV: Henkel, commonly known as the Tobacco Trust case. The same 'questions were involved in the Paper Trust case as were in volved in the Tobacco Trust1 cafe and the.. decisions of the supreme court in the two' cases were render ed at the same time, ' Those decisions practically dis posed of the defense in the Paper Trust case, and: resulted in the pro ceedings in the circuit court at St Paul this morning, by which final j ad g: " Butte, Mont., May 11. Sand Point, Idaho, advices state that a disastrous forest fire is burning within a few miles of that place. Sparks from an engine started the fire, which iB now burning beyond control and tbe ranchers and tim- bermen of the city are making ef forts only to save their movable property. Several sawmills and many thousands of feet of poles and posts have already been destroyed. The fire is one of the 'worst: which has ever visited that locality. At Cobarri, C. B. Fost lost over $5,00f worth of lumber. ' . At Iola, Merrick's sawmill was burned and all tbe machinery is ru ined. Duncan McKenz'e. of tola. lost bis house and! barn and all his farm implements. Near Wrencoe much timber has . been . destroyed.

The only thing that can save the-entire forest district is a heavy rain. c The set tiers are powerless to stop the pro grees of the flames. . GOV- CHAMBERLAIN 13 GIVEN A ROUSING.

Joseph Jefferson bequeathed to his wife, among other things, all his pictures except those painted by himself. The latter were to be di vided equally between Mrs. Jeffer son and tbe children. Subsequent to making his will, however, Mr. Jefferson bought a number of pic tures and stored them in New York as an investment. Shortly before he d'wd he directed that these pic tures be sold. They brought $229, 000 at a sale held after his death. The children now claim that their father's will did not contemplate giving tbe proceeds oi the sale of these pictures to their mother. They contend that the amount realized should go to them. The hearing is unfinished. InTIW luitf-4!-UiU"vtT the holding up of the propriation bill by the . Washington, May 7. Four white women have been attacked by ne groes within the last week in this city. -Only one arrest has been made.

A,' M., found a short, thick-set negro in the dining room. .. He said he wanted some thing to eat.? She ordered him out. He seized her by . the ' throat, held her at arm's length and rained blows upon her "with a curtain pole, Mrs. Fields screamed, and the negro threw her to the floor. Then," with one hand over her mouth to smother her cries, he beat her with the oth er. The negro caught sight of the pocketbook which Mrs. Fields had in her hand, and, wresting it from her, ran toward thedoor. : Mis. Fields, screaming, scram bled to her feet and gave chase. As sa2 attempted to grab him the ne gro turned, knocked her down with a blow in tbe face, and ran out. Neighbors who heard Mrs. Fields' screams ran to her home.; They found her hysterical and suffering from cuts and brnises. , The negro was traced to the home of a, negro woman some distance away,, where he demanded a suit of clothes.' "v The woman ran "for . (he police and the negro escaped, bu the police, flay they will have him within twenty-four hours. ; on as e and , the also tbe g of and 3 ac- offico. spoke of general ap- notification that it would be vetoed unless the emergency clause was stricken out. Public land protection was also given attention and the governor spoke upon the untangling of the web wnicb bad surrounded tbe land ef Oregon and tbe restoration to the people of 80,0c o acres. Another strong point put before the people was the fact that he has made a loan of over half a million from tbe irreducible school fond at interest, instead of allowing it to lie idle in the public treasury. He spoke at length of Oregon's great prosperity under present methods, and assured bis bearers amidst a storm 01 ap plause that those methods will coo tinue under his direction. Following the governor's address, short speeches were made by Su preme Judge Hailey oi Pendleton, J. D. Matlock of Eugene and Rob ert Miller. Bach speaker in turn was warmly greeted acd tbeir re marks received with the same en thusiasm whieh prevailed through out the entire evening. tomorrow morning. It is ..feared that the woman's mind will be permanentlylost. Jt may be necessary in the morniDe in an effort to quiet her to take her to the cemetery to . show . her that the grave has not been disturbed. She declares that if ehe is not pres ent at the resurrection she will be punished for her infidelity. At tbe morgue and at the ceme- tary she showed no sign of sorrow, telling the police matron that her husband would arise Sunday. The police matron, who is used to insanity in all its forms, declares that Mrs. Creffield's condition today and tonight is the saddest eight ehe has ever seen. . The woman has not become violent, but it is feared she might. The fact that Mrs, Creffield has been in the insane1 asylum in Oregon in the midst of the frantic demonstrations of the Holy Rollers, makes the officers believe v that her condition may .become permanent. For a time the police matron at tempted to convince her that her belief in her husband's resurrection was ridiculous and .that there was no use, of her - going to tbe cemetery to witness his resurrection from death. ' Mrs. Creffield, however, would not pay any heed to the ma tron's arguments. ' - She declared she knew, as did all .Creffield's fol lowers, that he could .not die; that he was Christ and that it was fore ordained that the Suuday after his burial ne would rise again and show himseli to the world that he was really Christ. , Since the shooting Mrs. Cnf. field has received letters from some of the faithful in Oregon assuring her that . . her husband would again rise from the dead. The names of the correspondents were withheld from all the newspapers at the request of the police matroo. A letter from Distriet-Attomey Manning did much to make unani mous . the public sentiment tnat Mitchell should be liberated even without a trial. The declaration of Prosecuting Attorney' Mackin tosh that be would prosecute Mitch ell as any other morderer is looked upon as an unfortuoats .incident. If Mitchell had been allowed bail today a number of prominent citi zens were willing to furuith securi ty upwards of $30,000. In tbe light of tbe fact that other judges have allowed murderers boil, it bas led the public to look with disfavor on Judge Fiater's refusal to allow Mitchell bail. It is very certain that Mitchell if tried wnl be acquitted by a jury. No m&n, although many have tried,, has ever been convicted here for murdern g a seducer of his wife or daughter. Mitchell's case is much-stronger than that of the men already liber ated for shooting down libertines. The press of Seattle has taken his side and created a public sentiment in his favor that none of theee other men had. Money will rr Eipplid for Mitchell'd delenss by aiauv Se attle men if it cannot be raised in any other way. Seattle, Wash., May I2. Grov eling on the floor of the police ma tron s home and begging hysteric ally that she be allowed to spend the night in Lakeview cemetery to witness the resurrection of ber bus- band, Franz Edmund Creffield, the, late Apostle Joshua of Holy Roller i notoriety, Mrs. Cieffield, widow of the ''apostle, has become insane. Today she pleaded with Prosecuting Attorcey Mackintosh to allow her to be taken to the cemetery under guard, 8o"ehe could see her husband rise from the dead tomorrow morn ing as she believes he will . The request was denied. Then the woman begged the po lice matron to take her there. When this was refused, she became hyster ical and up to a late honr tonight had refused to be quieted or take any rest or food. Her, cries are like those of a wild animal. She de clares that if she la not in the cem etery to greet her husband when he arises her soul is lost.
