Chicago, May 21. The federal court
today sentenced 13 constituent mem
bers of the furniture trust an aggre
gate of $41,200 for conspiracy In re
straint of trade.
F. A. Holbrook, head of the "Pru
dential club" composed of furniture
men was fined $10,000, the American
Seating company, Chicago, $10,000, A.
H. Andrews company, Chlcogo, $10,
000. The fines were the limit for
each and followed a roasting from the
bench.
The smaller companies were fined
$22r0 and $2500.
The judge's denunciation of the
metheds of the men Involved was
most scathing.
The Judge said: "What Is known
as the assist bid method Is as old as
business and was employed by these
men. It makes the victim believe there
Is honest competition when there Is
but rascally collusion. Churches and
schools of this country have been
wronged by this contemptible decep
tion. Men who look like clean, respec
table men resorted to this nasty com
mercial trick to cheat the country
congregations and school boards. An
honorable man would prefer to dig
ditches at $1.60 a day. The real of
fenders here are the big companies.
I sholl fine them heavily and fine the
smnll fry less because to fine them
what they deserve It would drive them
out of business and leave the big fel
lows with a complete monopoly. All
shall be enjoined from continuing the
Illegal practice."

10 MAKE RAIN IN
SIX INCHES OF RAIN
FOR A PURSE OF $1500
Farmers of Sherman County Have
Employed Los Angeles Rain-Maker
Who Promises to Deliver Six
Inches of Rain Between May 25
and July 25 Within a Radius of 60
Mile No Puy Unless It Ruins.
W. T. Hlslop, the well known com
mercial traveler of this city who has
just returned from a trip through
Sherman county tells an interesting
story of the preparations being made
there to try a raln-maklng experi
ment this summer.
Fifteen hundred dollars have been
raised In the vicinity of Wasco, the
county seat of Sherman county, for
the purpose of bringing a Los An
geles rain-maker to that place for
the experiment.
According to the contract entered
into between the people and the rain
maker, no money Is to be paid over
unless the rain-maker causes six
inches of rain to fall within a radius
of 60 miles of the location of his
tower, between May 36 and July 26,
1907.
So far the people have not expend
ed a cent of money, all the prepara
tions having been made at the ex
pense of the experimenter and the
agreement Is that no money will be
paid until after the rain Is delivered.
The rainmaker will erect a high
tower In the vicinity of Wasco from
which explosive chemicals will be
sent Into the air on cloud day and
nights and exploded at a great ele
vation above the earth.
The rainmaker has studied weafner
statistics of that section and declares
that Is a most favorable place for
raln-maklng experiments and he is
sure of delivering the goods within
the time specified.
While crops are In very good con
dition In Sherman county, yet the
rain Is badly needed nnd the people
nre willing to risk the amount for
the experiment. Mr. Hlslop says
that the $1600 for the experiment
has been practically all raised in
Wasco and In the Immediate vicinity
and that little has been raised in the
farming sections which will be bene
fited most by the experiment.
The people have great confidence
In the ability of the rain-maker, as
ho has borne his own expense so far
and it Is said could have had $6000
for six Inches of rain as readily as
$1600. Work on the tower will be
gin at once nnd the experiment will
be started soon after May tS.
