! TWO LAWS ARE INVOKED
Action Begnn at St. Louis Is First
. of Importance Under Clayton
Act Temporary and Pernia-
j nent Injunctions Are Asked.
ST. LOUIS. Oct. 18. The first Im
portant Government suit under the
Clayton anti-trust law was begun here
today by Attorney-General Gregory
against the United Bhoe Machinery
Company. The petition filed in the
deral District Court charges the shoe
company with unlawful practices that
substantially lessen competition and
tend to monopolize. Temporary and
permanent injunctions are sought.
The suit is distinct from that against
the same concern under the Sherman
anti-trust act begun several years ago,
in which its dissolution as an unlaw
ful combination and monopoly in re
straint of trade was sought and which
now is before the United States Su
preme Court. The present action does
not seek dissolution, but asks the court
to enjoin the company perpetually from
further engaging in alleged unlawful
practices.
Choice Practically Prohibited.
The Government's petition charges:
"That the United Shoe Machinery
Company is a monopoly controlling 98 14
per cent of the trade in shoe machinery
in the United States, its principle busi
ness being the making and leasing
these machines."
The petition alleges further that
nome machines are leased under what
is called an "unrestricted" form of
the lease which allows lessees in cer
tain cases to use other machines ob
tained from competitors on payment
of "initial premiums." These premiums
are in addition to the usual royalties
or charges.
"The amounts of these initial pre
miums," says the petition, "are so large
as practically to prohibit the choice
of the unrestricted form. Upon the
machinery in a factory having an out
put of from 25,000 to 30.000 pairs of
shoes daily, the premiums would amount
to about 8250,000.
Sum Represents Rebate.
"This sum represents a discount or
debate which the defendants grant the
manufacturer if he is willing to take
his machinery from them upon the ille
gal condition or understanding that he
will not use machinery supplied by
competitors of the defendants."
These clauses and others with the
came purposes and effects, according to
the petition, are being enforced by the
shoe company which has written leases
with such clauses, executed: not only
before the passage of the Clayton act
In October, 1914, but since that time
as well.
The petition sets forth that there are
more than 1500 manufacturers of shoes
in the United States who annually pro
duce more than 300,000.000 pairs of
machine-made shoes, and that "with
all but a very few of these, the de
fendants have business relations."
The growth of the United Shoe Ma
chinery Company, which makes ma
chines used principally in preparing
and attaching the soles to the uppers
of shoes, is declared to be the result
of 16 years of consolidations, bringing
together 56 concerns at one time in
this business.
WIFE'S DEVOTION FREES
EtlGENK COIBT REUNITES COI
KESSED THIEF WITH FAMILY.
Man's Gnat Love for Wife and Chil
dren. Manifested Since Arrest,
Helps Toward New Start. .
EUGENE, Or., Oct. 18. (Special.)
The devotion of a wife to a wayward
husband in a measure triumphed today,
when Ben O. King, self-confessed thief,
sentenced but paroled, stepped from
the prisoners' dock 1 the Circuit Court
into the arms of the mother of his five
children. Tears were running down
her face as she drew her babe in arms
to one side that she might kiss him.
King took the little to', and, together,
they left for the Lane County poor
farm to get four other children, plan
ning to start life anew.
"If the court will give me another
chance 1 will make good." he said, be
fore his sentence of from two to five
years in the State Penitentiary was
read.
All through the trial the devotion of
the wife had impressed the court offi
cials. She had walked five miles early
this morning to come from the poor
farm to the Courthouse. She did not
It-ave the courtroom even for dinner.
.King's great love for his family had
been manifest from the time of his
arrest.
The court paroled him because of
his wife and children, the Judge said,
on condition that he get a job, abstain
from liquor and report monthly.
King stole 150 sacks; his cache was
discovered, and a posse of farmers fired
;:t) shots at his fleeing figure after
lie came for them. Shortly after, his
house was burned while he was a fugi
tive, and his wife narrowly escaped
with the children.

WILLIAM ROCKEFELLER, HEJTKY K. M'KARG A5D LOUIS CASS LED YARD.
CHARGES PILED UP
Jury Hears Long List of Acts
Laid to New Haven Men.
MR. ROCKEFELLER INTENT
Aged Millionaire Defendant Rises In
Court and Leans on Cane Better
to Follow Accuser, Greet
ing Prosecutor Amiably.
KEW YORK. Oct- 18. The alleged
unlawful methods by which the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
Company is charged with having se
cured a monopolistic grip on the trans
portation traffic of New England, were
set forth to the jury today by Robert
L. Datts, " the counsel in opening the
case for the Government at the trial
of William Rockefeller, Lewis Cass
Ledyard, Edward D. Robbins and eight
others, present and past directors of
the road, for alleged conspiracy to vio
late the Sherman law.
Suits to force tha foreclosure of the
competing roads, secret acquisition of
stock, the incorporation of dummy-com
panies for the sole purpose of conceal
ing ownership of rail and steamship
lines taken over, fictitious sales of se
curities in order to deceive the authori
ties of Massachusetts as to their actual
ownership, the use of money to obtain
control of a Boston newspaper and to
secure favorable legislation, the sacri
fice of millions of dollars of stockhold
ers' money in acquiring ' competing
properties, the burning of books and
the transfer of records to Canada and
beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal
authorities these were some of the
acts alleged by the Federal attorney
as having been committed by the New
Haven directors with criminal intent
and with full knowledge that they were
unlawful."
Mr. Datts emphasized in his address
that had the New Haven combination
been attained in the natural and legiti
mate growth of business it might not
necessarily have come within the scope
of monopolistic corporations, which the
Sherman law was intended to reach.
William Rockefeller followed the
trial today with apparently more
watchful Interest than any of the other
defendants. While the Government at
torney was using the map, the aged
millionaire occasionally rose to his feet
to get a better view. Leaning on his
cane, he would stand for several min
utes, watching every move of the at
torney's pointer. Mr. Rockefeller also
took occasion today to Introduce him
self to the Federal attorney and en
gaged with him in seemingly amiable
conversation.

DOLLAR DAY GALA EVENT
Cottage Grove Business and Social
.Features Are Success.
COTTAGE GROVE. Or, Oct. 18.
(Special.) With a crowd sufficient for
two Fourth of July celebrations. Dollar
day Saturday was a tremenaous suc
cess and the greatest merchandising
event in the history of the city. The
occasion was made somewhat of a gala
day. The social features were fully as
noticeable as the purely business fea
tures, and a friendly feeling between
merchant and farmer waa developed.
The moving-picture houses that were
leased for the day by the merchants
were crowded during the entire after
noon and evening. The contest among
school children, in which prizes were
given for collecting the most coupons,
was a lively one. The children proved
most energetic campaigners and not
until the ballot- box closed at 11 P.
did they cease' their efforts.

STATE MAY AID ROAD WORK
Washington County Wants to Repair
UlIIsboro-Forest Grove Route.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 18. (Special.)
That the State Highway Commission
probably will allot $10,000 for repairing
the six miles of road between Hills
boro and Forest Grove in Washington
County seemed probable today follow
ing a conference with a delegation from
Washington County. It was decided
to have Engineer Cantlne make an in
spection of the road soon. Members
of the Washington County Court ad
vised the Board that if the state would
contribute $10,000, the county would
make a levy and obtain additional
funds for the road. It is estimated that
the cost of the improvement will be
about $30,000.
The road is considered to be a part
of the system of state highways mapped
out during ex-Highway Commissioner
Bowlby's administration.
SHORT BENEFIT EXPECTED
' -
Recognition of Car ran za to Relieve
Situation Only for Time, Is View.
COTTAGE GROVE. Or.. Oct. 18.
(Special.) That the recognition of
Carranza will relieve the situation in
Mexico only temporarily and that with
in a year the United States will find it
necessary to step in and pacify the
country is the opinion of E. F. Knotts,
a wealthy mining man from that coun
try who could no longer bear condi
tions there and is now visiting in the
states.
: Just a few days before be left Mr.
Knotts was compelled to give $3000 to
one of the Villa generals, and the day
before he left received another demand
for $1500. He had the only food in that
section of the country and has been
supporting the soldiers for a year or
more. During two years it' has cost
him $7 5,000 to protect his property from
marauding armies.
LATE ELECTION LAW RULES
Attorney-General Gives Opinion Re
garding Boards.
SALEM. Or., Oct. 18. (Special.) Al
though chapter 225 of the 1915 session
laws provides for a voters' list for elec
tion boards. Attorney-General Brown
today held that chapter 209 of the last
session laws, which also defines the
voters' list, should govern.
The opinion was given in response
to a request by District Attorney
Evans, of Multnomah County. Chapter
225, the Attorney-General points out,
primarily Intends to provide for per
manent registration of voters and the
portion relating to voters' lists merely
is a superfluous re-enactment of pro
visions in the old law, which was
amended. The list provided for by
chapter 209 is more in detail.

NITRATE PLANT PLAN
Permit to Use Water Power of
Pend d'Oreille Asked.
ACT OF CONGRESS WAITED
New York Capitalists Propose to Ex
pend 910,000,000 on Work
Near Spokane, but Only if
Legislation Is Obtained.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 18. If Congress passes a
water-power bill at the coming session,
Hugh L. Cooper, of New York, repre
senting capitalists who built the Keo
kuk dam in the Mississippi River, 'pro
poses to Invest $10,000,000 under that
law in power development on the Pend
d'Oreille River, near Spokane. Mr.
Cooper today applied to the Secretary
of the Interior for a preliminary per
mit to utilize the site covered by a per
mit issued in 1913 to the International
Power & Manufacturing Company, of
Spokane, that company's permit having
become void through its failure to build
in the time specified.
Mr. Cooper informed the Interior De
partment that he had acquired what
ever rights the International company
had established and also informed the
Secretary that he stands ready to go
ahead with - development on the same
terms which were subscribed to by the
International company two years ago.
His object in asking for a preliminary
permit is to give him preference right
to develop this power under a new
water-power law to be passed by Con
gress, and the Department officials as
sert he will proceed with his project
if the Ferris bill is enacted, though he
would prefer to build under the' Shields
bill if that can be passed, the latter bill
applying to navigable stream.
A large part of the output of Mr.
Cooper's plant, according to present
plans, will be utilized in the manu
facture of nitrates and surplus power
to be sold in the Spokane territory.
