MOVEMENT
TO HONOR
DR. CURRY
May Have School of Tecl.
nology atthe College.
ITWASPETSCHEME
OF THE EDUCATOR
When Presldent of Trustee
He Worked for it Tlrelessly.
THE TRUSTEES MEETING
IN SPECIAL SESSIONS
Committee Considers Means of Raising
$500,000 This Afternoon?Will Re?
port to the General Body To
Morrow?His Friends Will
Be Glad to Honor Dr. \
Curry Thus.
RIchmond College may soon have cstab
llslicd In connectlon wlth It a great
"School of Technology," to be named In
honor of Dr. J. L. M. Curry, who sug
gested such a thlng as early as 1830.
Tho trustees of the college began a
movement ln this directlon yesterday at
a speclal meeting. Their Idea Is that to
have such an Institutlon conducted as a
par* of RIchmond College, wlth whlch
Dr. Curry was assoclated, first as pro
fessor, later as trustee and presldent of
the corporatlon. for thirty-five years,
would be the most fitting and, could he
know of It. the most acceptable memorlal
possible for hls frlends to erect.
Put to do this at least *tSOQ,000 would be
nctdc-d for endowment. This money is to
be ralecd, nnd wlll be ralsed, among the
fneuds and admlrers of Dr. Curry and
those who appreclate the great value to
a ccmmunlty a tralnlng school ls. Just
in what directlon to look for this money
and how those who are wllllng to glve
ran he reached Is yet to be dctermlried.
For that purpose a commlttee, conalstlng
of Presldent Boatwrlght, Governor Mon
tcgue. Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson, Ro. S.
Bosher nnd Dr. Charles H. Rylanil, was
appolnted. This body wlll meet at the
Governor s Jlanslon th!;v afternoon at 4
o'clock. and the matter wlll certainly be
handled with the utmost dellbcratlon.
Tl:e Board of Trustees will meet agaln
to-rr.orrow to reeelve and consider the
report of the commlttee.
MOVEMENT MOST TIJIELY.
The movement, on the face of lt, ls a
most tlmely one. Dr. Curry was one of
ihe groatcst apostles of popular educatlon
that ever llved In this countrv. He has
many frlends, North and South. who hon
eren and udrnlred him for hls great work
for educatlon, and would gladly glve to a
fird whlch sought to perpetuate hls name
through a great school for the tralning
of that class of citizens who make thelr
livlng with eklllful hands and enduring
brawn.
Dr. Curry long wanted RIchmond Col?
lego to have a department of technology
In connectlon with its acadernio schools.
Years ago, when he was presldent of
the trustees, he brought the matter before
tlio body und secured thelr unanlmous
support of it. In tho Isaue of The Tlmes
of Pecember 28, 1800, Dr. Currv, aftor
dlscusslng fully the value to the nation
of such tralnlng ns the tochnical school
glves, says of tho propositlon to have one
at RIchmond College: "To establlsh a
technoiogical school, such ns we need and
should have. is no chlld's play. and cannot
be nccompllshcd by mass-meetlngs and
trumpet anrl druni nnd bnniier. It wlll
requiro conibined effort and the concen
tration of much capltal, talk, energy,
wisdoni and admlnlstratlve capacity.

MAY REVEAL MURDERS
Sara Weber Said She Was Starved and

to Aid Those Engaged In the
Diabolical Conspiracy.
(By Assoclated Press.)
NEAAT YORK, February lS.-Asslstant
Dlstrlct Attorney Krotel sald to-day that
the lnsurance fraud case now under ln?
vestlgatlon ln this city promLscd to de
velop into one of the most startling ever
known in the crlmlnal hlstory of the clty.
"Before the Distrlct Attorney's offlce
has flnlshed Its lnvestlgatlon of the as
tounding and extraordlnary New York
insurance frauds," he sald, "I should not
be surprised If it were proved that the
consplrators even went so far as to mur?
der In cold blood to get bodles for the
purpose of coliectlng pollcies. AVo have
found that twenty-three substltute bodles
wero passed off on the Hancock Insur?
ance t-ompany alone, and as soon as the
plotters are Indlcted these -wlll be ex
liiimed. Tho lnvestlgatlon lnto the re
markoble plot has already begun."
The fate of Sarah AVeber, who, lt ls
alleged, dled from the effeet of brulal
treatment, whlch, it Is charged, she re?
eelved at tlie hands of the consplrators,
Jlr. Krotel sald, was but a single instance.
According to storles told' by her relatlves,
Sarah Weber was tortured in order to
eoiiipel her to aid ln tlie iristimnc. frauds.
When the glrl left home she had rosy
eheeks and waa tho plcture of health.
When hor famlly found her she was a
shadow of herself. She told her brother
that she had been heaten, starved and

TRANSACTIONS WITHIN
INTERSTATE COMMERCE
Case of Combinatlon in Restraint of
Trade Under the Sherman Act Is
Fully Made Out, Declares the
Judge, and He Overrules
Demurer of the Packers
and Grants Injunct'n
(By ABBoelated Presii.)
CHICAGO, ILL., February 18.?Tho so
called beef trust case was dlsposed of to
day by Judge Grosscup in the Unlted
Slufes Clrcult Court, the demurrer of the
pi>.cJ<c-rs helng overruled and a temporary
Injunction granted. The attorneya for
the packers make no annoucenic-nl of their
inter.tlona. They have untll March 1th
to dlscuss the matter wlth thelr prlncl
pals. If they deny the facts upon whlch
Judgo Grosscup bascd hls declslon, the
matter wlll go before a master in chan
cery, who will hear the evidence, and the
rnse wlll agaln be argucd before Judge
Grosscup.
An appeal may be taken ln order to
hasten the ftnal adjudlcation of the case.
It ls not believed llkely that the pack?
ers will let the matter go by default, thU3
making the inJuncUon permanent.
Judge Grosscup, ln his opinion, after
denning Interstate commerce, says:
"For the purpose of clear exposltlon the
facts set- forth in the potltlons should be
sc-parated into two gioiips?those that aro
Intended to brlng tho transaction wlthin
the body of Interstate commerce, and
those that are. intended to fix upon such
transaction the characler of unlawful
.combinatlon and consplnicy. The llrst
group may be stated as follows:
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
"Tho defendants, controlling slxty per
ent. ot tho trade and commerce in fresh
meats ln the Unlted States, buy In the
course of their buslness llve stock shlpped
from polnts throughout the Unlted States,
whlcli, havlng been converted Into fresh
meats, ls sold agaln by them at the places
where prepared to dealers and consum?
ers ln other States. or'is sold through
thelr agents, loeated in other States, to
dealers nnd consumers In fhc States
where the agents are loeated. The ship
ments Ia tho first class of sales are made
directly from the places where the meat
ls prepared to the dealers and consumers
in other States, an.l In the latter class
to the agents ln the othor States, who
upon sale dellver directly to the dcaler
and consumer.
"What may be called the body of those
transactions is two-fold. lt reaches back
ward to tlie purchase of cattle that come
to the defendants from States other than
thoso ln which defendants manufacture,
ond It reaches forward to the sale of the
meats after converslon to partles dealing
wlth respect thereto from other States,
followed by shlpments Into other States.
F.o.eh of these transactions constltutes",
in my judgrment, interstate commerce "
UNLATVFUL COMBINATION.
The questlon whether the averments
set up tn the petltion constltutes the
character of unlawful combinatlon.
Judge Grosscup answers ln the aulrma
tlve. saying:
"No one can doubt that theso aver?
ments stato a case of combinatlon.
"Whether the combinatlon be unlawful or
not depends on whether lt is in restraint
of trade.
"The general meanlng of that term ls

comblnatlon that leads dlrectly to lower

doctrlno of these cases even as agalnst
tho consunier, be rcstralnt of trado. and
comblnatlon that leads dlrectly to hlgher

looks aolely to competltlon nnd to glvlng

Whatever comblnatlon haa tho direct and

' NO DOUBT.
"Thus dcflned there can be no doubt
that tho agreement of the defendants to

In rcstralnt of trade; so also thelr agree?

WASHINGTON, -D. C. Feb. lS.-'Tt
wlll be a long tlmo beforo there lst a
new postofflce building in Riehmond. or
any lmprovements to the present bulld'
Ing, In my opinion," said Senator Martln
to-day, when he learned the Jury in tho
proceedings to condemn the Shafer prop?
erty had flxed the damages at ?2aii,0OO.
"There will bo nothlng done at thls
sesslon, I thlnk," the Senator contlnued.
"I wlll do all I can In behalt of tha
proposition mado by Postmaster Wray
Knlght to havo Congress provldo for
the expendlture of $30,000 of the $75,000
already approprlated, to be used ln bulld?
ing a temporary addltlon to tho building
to tho east side to rellevo tho conges
tlon. But, owlng tothe congestlon of
buslness at the last of tho sesslon, I do
not thlnk it wlllbe posslble to accom?
plish anything."
Represontatlvo Lamb Is of tbe sam?-,
opinion as Mr. Martln. He roceived a
lotter this morning Trom Mr. Knlght,
asklng that an effort be made to in
duco Congress to allow hlm to experid
$.;0,(?OO for Uie purposo of erecting an
addltlon to the bulhilng on the eastern
slde. Captain Lamb sald be would do
what ho could, but is not at all conii
dent. Ho will endeavor to have ln
serted in tho goneral deflclency bill an
amendment making an appropriatlon for
the temporary bullding.
Captnin Lamb wlll also endeavor to
have an approprlatlon made to pay tho
last of the claims for rebato to manu
facturers of tobacco who pald tho war
revenuo tax aftor a certaln date last
year.
Mr. Yerkee. Commlssloncr of Interns,
Revenuo. told Mr. Lamb to-day that
whllo many of tho claims had been pald
there wero some still unpald. and tha:
thore was not enough money approprlat,
ed to pay all of them. There is nt
doubt of tho money belng approprlated.
NO NEW BUILDINGS.
The omnlbus publlc buildlngs blll, re?
ported lost Saturday, does not provlde
for the orection of any new buildlngs.
The contrary Idca seems to prevail in
somo sectlons of Vlrginia, and Congress
men are rocelving letters from constltu*
ents to know why thelr towns dld not get
nppropriatlons for new postolllces. Tha
blll does provlde for the acqulsltion of a
few sites, but tho remalnder of the np?
propriatlons aro for the contlnuanco of
work provlded for by exJstlng lcgislation.
Mr. Glass has been very deslrous of se*
curing an mpproprlatlon for a postofllco
bullding at South Boston and one for a
postofflce at Bedford City. H? was un?
able to do so, owlng to tho fact that the
House is not provldlng for work of that
klnd at this sesslon. He has r.ecelved
some assurances from members ot tho
Commltteo on Publlo Grounds and Build?
lngs whlch aro very encouraglng.
MR. HAY'S VICTORY.
Reprosentativo Hay. of Vlrginia. won'
a notnblo victory ln the House to-day,
Ho succeedod in hcsiing sent back to tha
conforcos tho conference report on tho
army approprlatlon bill, nnd there ls llt?
tlo doubt that tho blll wlll become a law
without tho feature to which Mr. Hay;
rnlsed chlef objectlon.
The conference report contained a pro?
vlslon allow;ing ofllcers of the army to
doposlt wlth tho govornmeut money to
the amount of $,".,000, and to recelve there'*
for lnterest at 3 per cent.
Mr. Hiiy, In a bt'lef speec'.i. opposcd
this featuro as helng contrary to publla
pollcy. Ho doclarod that if ono cliisn of
odlcors of tho government wero to be al?
lowed the priivilego of gettlng 3 per cent.
for thelr money. other offlclals should
havo tho samo prlvllege. Certalnly oltl- :
cors of the navy should hnve It. ns they .
were often thousnnds of milcs from a
Unlted States bank.
There wero snvernl other specchos ln
opposltion to thls feature, and flnally tha
House voted to seiul tho blll bnek to
conference.
At the outset Phalrmnn Hull, of th?
Mllltary Commlttee. sald tho conferonce
report would have to bo adopted ln full
or rejoeted In full; lt could aot be amend-.

Hull, of tlie commlttee. had sald every

tho amendment ?f the n-port,
Mr. Hull sprnng to hls feet. nnd Inter,
riipting Mr. Slayden, Ueclrired the state*
nient was false.
"The courtesy of the gentleman from
Inwa ls only equalled by hls vernelty,'*
replied Mr. Slayden,
Ho then read from tlio record. showlnjf
that Mr. Hull had used practically ih?i
exact Innguago nsicrlbed to hlm by Mr,
Slnydon.
"Now. I wlsh to say," sald Mr. Slay?
