Both CItII and Criminal Pro
ceedings for Bridge Trust.

Tornadoes Do Vast Damage in
' Louisiana and Mississippi.
NOW FOR THE NEXT
Taking of Testimony This
. Month in Bourbon County.
MAY ASSESS $100 FINE A DAY.
Combination, for Higher or
Loner, Is No Difference.
Scene of Final Battle May Be
Brought to Topeka.
Both civil and criminal proceedings
may be filed against representatives of
the alleged bridge trust In Kansas, ac
cording to A. M. Keene, of Fort Scott,
conducting the investigation under di
rection of a M. Brewster, attorney
general. Taking of testimony may be
gin this month before Judge Hulett, of
the Bourbon county' district court.
. Hundreds of letters and bits of evi
dence in the case are now in the hands
of the Fort Scott lawyer and he is pre
paring a list of witnesses who will be
called to testify in the case. Proceed
ings in trust investigations in Kansas
arc similar to those in a liquor inquiui
lion and witnesses may be summoned
before any judge or court of compe
tent jurisdiction in the state. Keene
will probably start his inquiry before
his home court, also the scene for the
final battle may be transferred to To
peka. .If evidence gathered by attorneys
for the state :an be substantiated in
the courts, an effort will be made to
show that Kansas has been divided
into' territories bv bridge companies
and supposedly competitive firms nev
er underbid the firm wtaich held cbn
trol of the district whore a contract
was to be let. If this evidence is
Rhown in the courts, it is probable that
both civil and criminal proceedings
will be filed under the arrti-trust laws.
Fine of 9100 a Jay.
A fine of $100 a day may be as
sessed against makers of a combine or
trust, the fine to cover the entire time
during which it was shown that a
combination existed. Whether the
combination was for the purpose of
raising or lowering prices, makes no
difference under the Interpretation of
the law. In either event it is viewed
by. the courts as an illegal combination
in restraint of trade and a common
trust, Keene, it is believed, will first
bring civil proceedings against alleged
violators of the state law. If he is
successful with these cases, criminal
proceedings are contemplated. Fines
collected under civil proceedings in
the trust cases, would be- paid into
the general revenue of the state.
Probably a -score of bridge build
ing companies will come under the in
spection of Keene in his inquiry con
cerning bridge contract letting. Not
until he is ready to summon witnesses
before a court of record will the Fort
Scott man make public the names of
companies under investigation.
The 1915 legislature appropriated
$5,000 for use by the attorney genera!
in trust investigations. The money
will be used chiefly to probe the al
leged bridge trust. It Is probable that
the inquiry will continue several
months, although the taking of testi
mony is expected to begin late this
month. - .

LIQUOR LAW IS TESTED
Constitutionality of Webb - Kenyon
Measure Involved First Time.
Washington, May 7. The first case
involving the constitutionality and
construction of the Webb-Kenyon
liquor law by which congress sought
to divest liquor intended for use in
violation of state laws of its interstate
character, was up for argument today
before the supreme court.
The case concerned the carrying of
liquor by express into dry counties in
Kentucky. Similar transportation of
liquor into West Virginia was con
cerned in another case which had been
advanced to be heard with the Ken
tucky case. Cases of a like nature
have arisen in Oregon. Delaware, Mis
sissippi, Tennessee, Iowa, Texas, Ala
bama, Kansas. South Carolina, North
Carolina and Virginia.

Discuss War News, ,
Guthrie. Okla.. May 7. One of the
chief topics for discussion at the Okla
homa Press Association convention,
which opens here today, will be how
to conduct a country newspaper in
war time. All types of opinions are
represented In the five hundred news
paper delegates gathered here and the
biggest question before the convention
will be how to print - all the war
news and still keep within President
Wilson's definition of- neutrality.
Delegates to what Marion Lawrance
of Chicago, secretary of the. Interna
tional Sunday School association,
termed the greatest convention of its
kind ever held in America, have left
the city with the exception of a small
percentage who have remained over
for a day or two to visit friends or to
shop.
The closing meeting was held at the
Auditorium Thursday night with Mar
ion Lawrence as the distinguished
speaker. A representation of Topeka
Rotarians attended the meeting. Mr.
Lawrence is a Chicago Rotarian.
A fund for Sunday school purposes
was completed late Thursday amount
ing to 11,800. Of this amount $1,000
will go towards the world Sunday
school work. Kansas is consequently
entitled to a life membership in the
World Sunday School association. The
membership -was turned over to J. -H.
Engle who is entering on his twentieth
year as secretary of the Kansas asso
ciation. National prohibition was endorsed
in the resolutions. The war in Europe
was deplored. Sunday school teachers
were urged to adopt more up to date
methods.
J. H. Engle, secretary, and R. M.
White, treasurer, were particularly
mentioned in the expressions of ap
preciation. Topeka and Shawnee
county came in for a share of the
praise, as also did the Boy Scouts who
served and the Topeka newspapers
for the publicity furnished. The To-!
pekans who opened their homes to the
delegates were not forgotten.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Chicago, May 7. WHEAT Wheat eased
off today, influenced by predictions that
the government crop report would be in
favor of the bears. Continued liberal re
ceipts totended further to make the mar
ket decline. Trade lacked volume. Aftr
opening at the same as last night to lc
lower, prices rallied but again showed .a
disposition to sag.
More pronounced weakness developed
later, specially after news seemed confirm
ed that the Lusitania had been sunk. The
close was heavy at lc to 2c under last
night.
CORN Corn hardened as a result of a
little buying on account of wet weather
damage in Argentina. Wheat weakness,
however, prevented any material upturn.
The opening, which varied from e to 14c
off. was followed by advances to above
last night's level.
Afterward selling pressure increased and
a material setback took place the same as
in wheat. The close was heavy at lc to
le net decline.
OATS Big export clearances of oats
helped make oats firm. Pit offerings were
light. '
PROVISIONS Lower prices for hogs
carried down provisions. Pork led the decline.

Grain Gossip.
Furnished by special wire to T. .1. Myers.)
A report from Kussia says the enemy
acqtiired large supplies of wheat and other
foodstuffs by their recent victories.
Elevator stocks of wheat in Kansas City
have increased 25,175 bushels thus far this
week and corn stocks Increased 54,714
bushels.
A cable from India reported that ship
ments of wheat are' expected to be larger
and will soon reach a satisfactory propor
tion. Arrangments have been perfectd to
in-ise available tonnage at ports in that
country.
A cable from Argentina reads as follows:
"Weather is mostly unfavorable and ex
port demand for wheat is unprecedented.
Size of exports are incident entirely upon
quantity available and tonnage. All import
ing countries are buying freely. Corn is
deteriorating in quality and the situation
is strong."
A cable from Liverpool reads as follows:
"Demand for wheat in the United Kingdom
is quiet, as It is expected that arrivals
from now on will satisfy demand, and
stocks have commenced to show increases.
Merchants are following the government
suirfrestion and Durchasing more freelv
wherever prices are satisfactory. Continen
tal demand has shown some abatement,
as highly favorable crop outlook and free-
dooin witn wnicn American merchants are
disposed to sell new crop wheat keeps
trailers conservative"
Shipments of wheat from Argentine this
week are estimated at 5.200.000 bushels.
compared with 4.920.000 bushels actually
exported last week and 1,344.000 bushels a
year ago-. Estimated corn shipments are
955,000 bushels.

a very small part of its gain, and other
specialties of this class rose 1 to 2 points,
with similar improvement in Motors and

ondon's gloomy view of the war and con
ditions in the far east again were deterrent
factors.

Price changes at the outset of today's
