Washington, June 9. The United
States supreme court today set aside
the three months' jail sentence given
'. two officers of the American Naval
Stores Company of Savannah, Oa., the
so-called turpentine trust. It also re
verses the decision as to five other offi

Tho court also decided that the Ad

laws. The department of justice and
the interstate commerce commission
have been fighting for this ruling for
years. The Ohio federal courts held
that because tho company is a "joint
stock association" and not a corpora
tion, it could not be prosecuted.
The decision in the Adams Express
company case was unanimous. Tho
opinion of the court was rend by Jus

INFERIOR TO AMERICAN
Beef Stew sad Bout Rapped, But
Australian Mutton Better Than
This Country's Brand.'
San Francisco, June 9. The use of
Australian beef in San Francisco's city
institutions is virtually discouraged in
s report of s committee to investigate
the quality and price with reference
to the meat at the Belief Hone. The
committee found that the Australian
steak is as good as the American cut;
that the meat used for stew and roast
is inferior, but that, the mutton is de
cidedly superior to the American pro
duct. The committee found, however,
that tho beef will cost within three
cents per 100 pounds of American beef.
The report doclarcs that a great dis
advantage in tho use of the Australian
beef is that portions soon become soft,
and that the meat loses its juices. It
was estimated that the meat deterior
ates fivo per cent from this cnuse, and
the committee used this fivo per cent
deterioration in calculating the cost.
Australian beef was furnished at
$0.00 a hundred pounds. Adding dete
rioration', this is brought to $10.4;!, nnd
five cents per hundred is added for
drnyngc, bringing the total to $10.47,
against $10.50 for American beef.
Tho committee adds that the ment
does not come within city specifications,
as Australian beef is from steers aged
five to eight years, while the city re
quires beef to be from three to four-year-old
animals.

Whilo the above was written to de

feelings one has after such a time as
Salem had last night. The only dif
ference is that in the first situation it
applies to the physical feeling and the
latter to tho mental. One is headache,
tho other heartache, and so this morn

banquet hall deserted, whose guests are

NO ARRESTS ARE MADE
Offer of 1500 Bewsrd Saturday Night
by Bouthent Pacific Spars oa
Detectives.
The state railroad commission today
made the following report In regard to
the wreck of the Willamette Limited,
northbound, Saturday morning:
"The first report of this accident to
tho 'commission was received at 11 :45
a. m., although the derailment occurred
within about four miles of ths state
capitol. Preliminary Investigation was
made by the secretary snd assistant sen
tary, and later in the day (ss soon as
Commissioner Campbell and ths engin
eer of tho commission could reach ths
scone of the derailment) further investi
gation was made, followed by a fomutl
investigation upon the ground today.
"After an investigation of all the
visiblo marks au.l taking the testimony
of witnesses, we are of tho opiuiou that
without questiou the derailment of the
train was caused by the removal of
spikes from both sides of the east rail
by some unknown person and spparent-
H 'between- 7:20 a. m, sud S:20 s. in ytt
June 7.
"While tho general condition of the
track on both sides of the place of the
iilent indicates that tie renewals
havo not been made to normal standard,
the track was in better condition at the
immediate point of derailment than for
some distanco ou either side and in our
judgment the condition of the ties Mil
roadbed was not a predisposing cuuio
tho accident.
"Tho explanation is mado that tie re
newals in this section have pormittel to
full below normal because of the com
pany's plans for early full ballasting of
the section with crushed rock, at which
time extensive renewals will bo necessi
tated." Those of thu railroad commission aril
others who took part in tho investiga
tion aro: L. R. Fields, assistant gener
al superintendent of the S, P. company;
F. L. Burckhnlter, district engineer of
the 8. P. company; Bcott and 8chu!t.
road masters of tho 8. P.; E. W. Mre

sion and several minor officers. Testi
mony was taken from both the engineer
and fireman of the wrecked train. Doth
of tho men stutod they taw the defect
in the rail at about tho same time but
were somewhat disagreed as to whether
the rail was bent In or out.
No Arrests Yet Mads.
Many theories have been advanced as
to who pulled the spikes and caused ths
train to leave tho track, hut both the
railroad detectives and Sheriff Ech

agents have been working on the cat

curred, hut up to the present time they
say they hnvo discovered nothing of
any tangible nature which Would oven
lead to a clew of the guilty WTCckcts.
However, It is possible that some per
son or persons nursing a grievance
ngninst the circus which showed here
Saturday may have been responsible fo
the act. One theory favored by Sher
