Five Thousand Dollars.
San Francisco, Cal., May 13. The
trial of the Federal Salt Trust, which
Is being prosecuted criminally by the
United States government for alleged
violations of the Sherman anti-trust
law, began this morning In the United
States UlBtrict court before Judge De
Haven. Tbo corporation is renre
scnted by H. B. Wright. United States
District Attorney Marshall 13. Wood
worth Is certain that ho can secure a
conviction. If he Is right In his views
he will be the first government official
to secure a conviction of a trust
wherein a criminal action has been In
stituted.
The government broueht a civil
suit some time ago to dissolve cer
tain contracts which the trust had en
tered Into with the manufacturers and
and producers of salt on the Pacific
Coast. These contracts ran for five
years, and by virtue of them tho trust
had a monopoly of the salt business.
Judge Morrow dissolved these con
tracts last November and enjoined the
trust and parties to tho trust from
further working under the contracts.
Then criminal proceedlnss were lnstl-
tuted against tho officials by District
Attorney woodworth, acting under m.
structlons from Attorney-General
Knox. They are to be prosecuted for
violation of provisions of the Sher
man anti-trust law. in that they form
ed a monopoly and entered Into con
tracts In restraint of trado. Should
conviction be secured the penalty
entailed Is a line of $5,000.
Salt Trust Pleads Guilty.
San Francisco. Mav 13. Attorney
Wright pleaded guilty on behalf of his
clients, the salt trust. The defend
ant is liable to a fine of $5,000.

resident ministers of the two coun

the subject again without an express
agreement that they are not to be

The offlclals here, however, feel
very confident that it will not be

the present difficulties in the Pana

C. J. Mlllls, livestock agent of the

"Tho movement of range- sheou and
