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.

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

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

MISS LIVERPOOL ELIZABETH has
been invited to reign as queen of

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

wagon on this occasion.

will be done in automobiles by ladies in

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.

PARIS, April 30. A dispatch from Brus

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. GEORGE MELV1N MILLER..

WEATHER CONDITIONS.
A decided fall in pressure occurred over
this forecast district during the last 12
hours, the Dakota high area having moved
rapidly eastward since this morning. Not
withstanding the decreasing pressure clear
skies still prevail Over the entire section of
country extending from the Pacific Coast
eastward to Minnesota. Temperatures were
generally higher under the .influence of the
uninterrupted sunshine, but a marked ex
ception is noted at San Francisco, where the
abnormal warmth of yesterday afternoon
has been succeeded by normal thermal con
ditlons.
Indications point to continued fair weather
over this entire forecast district Sunday.
