THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL 21, 1907. 15 T BIG LOCAL TRUST Wholesale Grocers' Associa tion to Be Probed by Fed eral Grand Jury. SHERMAN LAW IS VIOLATED Five Portland Houses Said to Have Combined to Maintain Prices. Vnited States District Attor ney Prlscoll at Work. Allrscd violations of the Sherman anti-trust law by associations of promi nent business men tn Portland will probal-ly be inquired into by the Fed eral fcrand Jury, which will he convened this week. While United States Attor ney W. C. Bristol will frlve out no in formation as to the prospective work of the grand Jury, the report has Rained rurrency that the principal work of that body, other than to clean up the land-fraud business, will be to investi catc business combines which are said lo be operating in Portland in restraint of trade, amounting to a direct viola tion of the Sherman anti-trust law. Among such combines whose opera lions are said to invito legal Inquiry is tne Portland Wholesale Grocers' Asso ciation. This organization consists of the five, principal wholesale firms of this city, as follows: Allen & Lewis, Lang & Co., Mason. F-hrman & Co., Wnrllipms A. Co.. and 'Wadhama &' Kerr Bros. It is charged that this associa tion has violated the provisions of the Phermnn law by organizing a combina tion among themselves that controls the grocery business of the entire terri tory for which Portland is the natural distributing point. It is said to have maintained a minimum selling price on other than goods handled under manu facturers' contracts. Manufacturers Excluded. More effective work is reported to have been done by this so-called trust In excluding manufacturers in other ities ind states from entering Port land and introducing their goods to the trade. The Portland Wholesale Grocers- As sociation would be an interesting sub ject fc.r tiie grand jury to investigate," iid a Portland grocer last night, "that is. provided the Jury would demand the hooks and correspondence of tho cora lline. This was done in a similar in vestigation at Los Angeles, and equally startling disclosures would attend such an examination of the Portland con cern. This association lias for years been operating in a high-handed man ner, and the retailer has been at its mercy. It is perfectly legitimate for a minimum selling price to be placed on ill good?, that are handled under con tract with tho manufacturer, but the combine has been handling other goods in tho same way. Canned goods, rice and sugar are some of the Etaple prod ucts whi.'h have been disposed of, al ways with regard for the minimum selling price which "has been fixed and invariably maintained. Startled lest its method" might be investigated by the . jrrand Jury which ha been convened, this association recently removed its minimum selling price from a number of articles the sale of which is not reg ulated by contract with the manufac turer. "Manufacturers from other points have been prevented from entering SEAR L Oak Street Plans Society Circus Athletic events, spectacular novelties, thrilling bar work, lofty tumbling, lady bareback riding and other features arranged PLANS for the Oak Street Society Circus have been nearly completed and it is to be made one of the bis events of the near future. While the show Ik intended chiefly as a benefit to the Multnomah Bar Operating Association, it will afford an opportunity to demonstrate that all the good entertainment talent is not controlled by the ten-cent houses, lots of it is going to waste in social cir cles. 'npHE moving spirit of the affair is Mr. I J. Plugnickle Jones, without whose natural ability and wide experience in such things the circus could hardly be come a success. Mr. Jones has been the moving spirit in many such events. It may well be said of him that he has moved more spirit than any other society circus promoter in Portland. jya ESSRS. BLEARY BLAKE and Tim 1 I MoFill have consented to ap pear in their famous bar act. Both gen tlemen are clever bar athletes, having spent nearly all their leisure time for years past over the bar. They are noted especially for their foam-blowing and highball work. By way of finale they In tend to put on a thrilling schooner draining contest. At a recent rehearsal. Mr. McFill performed this feat In so small a fraction of one second that a stop watch failed to record the time. THE stage hold-up is to be one of the thrilling specialties, as was shown at a rehearsing of the feature at the Cameron last night. Mr. Boyd, one of the princi pals, came on In the last stage and was held up In approved Western style, three uniformed outlaws being required to hold him up properly. jy R. HUNTING MARKS has been in 1 I vitcd to give his celebrated exhibi tion of club-juggling.

Portland by this same association, un less they would subscribe to the con ditions imposed by the local monopoly, which always assumed to dictate the gelling price and the margin the manu facturer should receive. If the manu facturer refused to accept the terms the association declined to handle the goods, which had the effect of exclud ing the outsider from doing business in this city. It is customary for the man ufacturer to introduce his goods through the resident wholesalers, as it is found impractical to deal direct with the retailers, which be -would be re quired to do if he established trade re lations independent of the wholesal ers." . "I am not ready to say anything," said United States Attorney Bristol last night, when asked if the grand Jury would make an Investigation of the re ported infractions of the anti-trust law by local business combines. 'The preliminary work of investigation, which must be done before the grand jury conTenes, "has not been completed, and I cannot indicate what particular line of examination that body will take up. Jf any charges are made, alleging unlawful combinations in restraint of trad, they will be inquired into and. if the accusations are found to be based on fact, the. violators will be prosecuted." FOR RIGHTS OF GRANGE Mr. Parrot! Says Farmers Are Tired Paying1 Taxes, Silently. BUT T EVI LLJ5, Or.. April 20. (To the Edi tor.) I notice . communication in last Sat urday's Orgoni.n from a Salem man signed "A. B, C," takJn the Grange to tank for presuming to dictate to the people of Ore gon what lawa should be held up, etc. Now. a I am a. Granger and a taxpayer of Oregon, I would like to know who "A. B. C." is, that he should dictate to the Grange what It should do. I would not be surprised if he was smoked out that he would prove to be on of the many that are Interested In- just Mich grafts as the exces sive appropriation for tne State University. The Grange la compound almost exclusive ly of farmers, and the farmer is supposed to pay taxes and say nothing. It has been the custom so long that when the farmer does raise his voice in protest, it almost takes the breath away from euch men as "A. B. . I am sure the Grange has the most sin cere respect for the excellent organizations spoken of by "A. B. C." But if these favor excessive appropriations for universities or any other purpose, the Grange begs leave to differ with them. In regard to "A. B. C. V mud-sllnglng about the Grangers not being represented on the Board of Regents of .the State University, I will pass by as not worth my notice. "A. B. CM eaya" the Grange as a worthy and excellent order should not assume a dictatorial attitude In its treatment of pub lic matters, etc. Oh, no. of course not. As lone as the Granger will consent to pay4 taxes and say nothing he la all right. But' if he has the presumption to ask for bis just dues be ts presumptuous. The Granger should do in the future as In the past allow every one who wishes tramp on him; he Is a slave to all grafters and a good fellow. JAMBS PARROTT. Was No Plot Against President. HAZFTL.T0N, Pa., April 20.-A careful investigation made in this section today failed to sustain the statement made by Jan Bar tula, of Newark, N. J., of a plot agrainst the life of President Roose velt. The police here say that Jan Bar tula was an inmate of an insane asylum in this city some years ago. Metro Kapi tula, a sirloonkeeper of McAdoo, near here, whom- Bartula is alleged to have Implicated in the plot, is prominent in the Greek Catholic congregation of McAdoo. He served two years as Treasurer of the Borough of McAdoo. He came here to day arid expressed his willingness to ap pear at any time before the authorities, saying he knew nothing of a plot against the President. , Kccmployed With Increased Pay, PENDLETON, Or., April 2-. (Spe cial.) Every teacher in the high and public schools of this city was re-employed to serve in tho same capacity next year at a slight increase in sal ary at last nights meeting of the school board. diamonds. He can. handle 52 of these arti cleg at one time and with a skill that really is amazing. TW" N automobile sensation Is being re- r hearsed nightly and when produced in public should create a profound sensation. aa many of the participants are extreme ly well-known. The act Is entitled "Who The Auto Sensation. filled the auto sparkers up with bubble- water? The rehearsals are being con ducted chiefly 13 miles out, so that the more novel features may not become known too soon. MISS LIVERPOOL ELIZABETH has been invited to reign as queen of the circus. T"HB clowns will prove one of the very I ' biggest features, according to present plans. Director General and Mr. Jones says that this portion of the programme will be carried out along novel lines and in accordance with his own Ideas. He has long contended that temperament and natural inclinations, rather than gro tesque costuming and paint, are the ele ments which spell success in the clown business, whether amateur or profession al. So he has determined that the exten sive staff of amateur fools must eschew all disguise and thus add to their effec tiveness. It is really surprising how many really good clowns are to be found In so cial circles, Mr. Jones states. MR. I. SLEDDON'S lofty tumbling act will prove one of the roost thrilling of the many acrobatic numbers. Mr. Sled don has long borne a reputation for tum bling. He will tumble from the water wagon on this occasion. THE lady bareback riding will be a lit tle different from the usual perform ances of this kind. The bareback riding will be done in automobiles by ladies in decollete. WILL-CONSULTS Mother England Admits Col onies Have Grown Up. CONFER EVERY FOUR YEARS Colonial Conference to Be . Made Permanent With Bureau in Colon lal Office Will Co-operate In Defense of, the Empire. LONDON". April 'JO. At today's session of the. Colonial Conference It was unani mously agreed to change the title to "Im perial Conference. The conferences will be held every four years to discuss the common interests of the empire. The Pre mier of the United Kingdom will be ex officio president and tho Premiers of colo nies and the Colonial Secretary will be ex- cfficlo members. The various delegates will appoint their members, but except with the special permission of the con ference not more than two representa tives of each government shall partici pate in the discussions. Each govern ment will have but one vote. Xew Bureau for Colonies. This new department of the Colonial Office is created with a permanent sec retarial staff, charged with obtaining in formation for the use of the conference and dealing tentatively with such mat ters of general imperial interest as arise between conferences. It was further de cided that, when matters arise requiring the consultation of two or more govern ments and which con not conveniently be postponed, a subsidiary conference may be held between several representatives of the governments concerned. The Earl of Elgin, Secretary for the Colonies, referring to military defense, outlined the general principles of an im perial military organization and the Premiers concurred in his views. The Premiers then explained the defense organization of their respective colonies and the extent to which the general organization could be put into practice. The draft of a resolution creating a gen eral staff for the empire was tabled. It was resolved that the colonies be author ized to refer to the committee of im perial defense for advice on local ques tions. Canada and Transvaal Object. Apparently In response to a demand for grea-ter publiolty, the Colonial Office tonight Issued a lengthy summary of the proceedings for thn. week. The only striking feature communicated was the objection of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of Canada, and General Botha. Premier of the Transvaal, to designating the con ference "Imperial Council.". General Botha thought the adoption of the word council might be an infraction of the rights of the responsible governments and Sir Wilfrid Laurier suggested the title "Imperial Conference," which was adopted. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Pre mier of the United Kingdom, gave a pri vate dinner to the Premiers at Downing street tonight. Almost all the members of the Cabinet and a number of other prominent persons, including Ambassador Reid, were present. EDWARD'S FAR-REACHIXG PLAN Believed to Aim at Union orfediter. ranean Powers. LONDON, April 20. While officials here minimize the Importance of Kins Edwards tour of the Mediterranean, it cannot be denied that the visits to Cartagena and Oaeta were more than exchanges' of courtesies between, the monarch s of Great Britain, Spain and Italy. The presence of Sir Charles Hardinge, permanent Under-Secretary of the Foreign Office, and King Ed ward's personal advisor in foreign af fairs, stamps the meetings aa being more than acts of civility, as Sir Charles has had conferences with the foreign ministers of Spain and Italy. That The Hague peace conference has been discussed cannot be doubted, but probably the main interest lies in an other direction. As a prominent diplo mat expressed it today: "Recent events point to the restora tion of the Mediterranean to its oldj 1111MA..Y. vy in, u tuts relations ue- tween the great powers are deter mined." What King" Edward is aiming at, some well-informed persons contend, is a Latin union, supported by Great Britain, for the maintenance of the status quo in the great inland sea. Whatever connection Italy has with the plans must have arisen since King Ed ward's departure from England, as it was not until after his arrival at Malta that His Majesty instructed the For eign Office to arrange for a meeting with King Victor Emmanuel. . Whether there will be other confer ences has not been made public, but it is certain that King Edward's tpur, which began with a friendly call on King Alfonso at Cartagena, Is steadily growing in importance. SPAIN" HAS HOT ELECTION'S Spilt in Republican Party Causes Shooting of Deputy. MADRID, April 20. The elections for members of the Chamber of Deputies, which commence tomorrow, promise to be prolific in disorder, particularly at Barcelona and in the four Catalan pro vinces, owing to violent dissensions in the Republican party. The agitation has been increased by the information of Senor Salermon. the Republican leader of an electoral league with the Catalan extreme home-rulers and the Carlists and Conservatives to defeat the revolutionary Republicans led by Deputy Leroux. The attack at Barcelona on Salermon, in which Cambo, a Catalan deputy. was mortally wounded, serves to increase the ill feeling. SVLTAX IS .STILfc OBSTINATE Ignores Aljrcciras Treaty and French Claims for Redress. TANGIER, April 10. The Sultan of Morocco, according to a courier who arrived here today from Fez. is not willing; to carry out the terms of tho Algeclras convention. He pays no no tice to the French claims relative to redress for the murder of Dr. Mau champ. HONORS ORIENTAL WARRIORS Japanese and Chinese Army Officers Will Receive Much Courtesy. "WASHINGTON. April 20. Special honors' will be paid by the United States Government to the distinguished officers of the Japanese and Chinese armies who are to represent their governments at the Jamestown Exposition. At the sug gestion of General Bell. Chief of Staff, f orders have been sent to Lieutenant-General MacArthur. the highest ranking of ficer of the United States Army, who is now in command of the Pacific station at San Francisco, to proceed with his staff to Seattle in time to meet and give of ficial welcome to General Kuroki. one of the heroes of the late war with Rus sia: Lieutenant-General Kigoshi and 12 other officers of the Japanese army who are due at that port May 1, and escort them to Jamestown by way of this city. The members of the party will stop here for the purpose of paying their respects to. the President, who probably will give a dinner in their honor. . The representatives of China include three military officers of the rank of colonel, who are in charge of Captain Henry Leonard of the Marine Corps. They are expected . to arrive at San Francisco about May 1. -Captain Brewster,- Ninth Infantry, now on duty at the Army War College in this city, has been charged with the duty of meeting the Chinese officers on their arrival at San Francisco and escorting them across the continent to" the Jamestown Exposi tion. - MAY OFFER CONGO TO FIIAXCE Leopold's Visit to FalHcrcs Arouics Gossip in Paris. PARIS, April 30. A dispatch from Brus sels says that the journey of King Leo pold to Paris has been postponed until Monday. Tho explanation of this trip that finds the most- credence, is that Leo pold will offer to cede the Congo inde pendent' state to Franco at his interview with President Fallieres. . Franco enjoys the right of pre-emption in the Congo under the treaty of Berlin which gave King Leopold power to dis pose of the Congo state during his life time. Vigorous Against Labor Agitators. PARIS. April 30. The violent strike propaganda being conducted by agents of the Confederation of Labor has led Minister of Justice M. Guyot-Dessaigne to address a circular to public prosecutors requesting them to take energetic meas ures to enforce the laws against rebel lion, the provocation of crime and anti militarism. Peru Settles Guano Claims. LIMA. Peru, April 30. The government today issued a decree providing for the payment to the United States Guano Company of $7,385,440 In bonds on the delivery by the company of 3600 certitv cates. each for $1000 gold. This trans action settles all claims of the company against the government. NAVIGATING THE AIR If Man Wishes to Succeed, lx?t Him Study the Honey Bee's Plight. . EUGE3CE. Or.. April 20. (To the Editor.) In an article appearing in The Oregonian or April 16, J. J- Borir expresses the opin ion that birds float in the atmosphere by reason of their feathers containing va cuums. From my observation this cannot be true, because feathers themselves, even without tho weight of the bird, will not float, but fall to the ground and always with quilt end down. Feathers are mad hollow for the same reason that wheat straw and your bicycle frame are made hollow, viz: The greatest strength with the least weight is thus attained. Feathers are not necessary to flight, as bats clearly demonstrate. Birds are able to float In the atmosphere by reason of the upward, cur rents therein caused by the warmer ana lighter air at the earth's surface rising and In favorable localities with sufficient force to sustain birds with no effort of their own save their outstretched wings. I do not know any mors reason for imi tating the bird in the flying machine than for following the pattern of the horse in constructing a wagon.. There is no longer any mystery about the night of birds ana insects. It is only a .question of power, a p plied to atmospheric . resistance. How U apply the power and get the necessary re sistance is . puzzling, inventors. The common honey bee is probably the most successful navigator of the air, car rying enormous loans of honey. The wing of a bee fs a straight, flat surface with no joint except at the body and no muscles. whereas the wing of a bird has at least four joints aod numerous muscles- The ar tion of the bee's wing is also more simple and mechanical than that of the bird since it moves constantly in the arc of a circle ana does not "flop" downwards as wltn the bird's wing. For these reasons . the study of the flight of the "honey bee is mort instructive and likely to lead to success in human flight than is the study of the flight of biros. Mr. Borg suggests if we could learn- to float, in the air we could soon learn to fly. We have already done this in the baloon and airship, but floating is not flying. The thistledown floats to perfection but It will not fly. it takes power to fly power to overcome atmospheric resistance in front by developing atmospheric resistance in the rear.

Not withstanding the decreasing pressure clear skies still prevail Over the entire section of country extending from the Pacific Coast eastward to Minnesota.
