Jan. ι*.—te the Fifiy-tMrd district ccwirt Monday the case of the state vs. the Shippers Compress com paey. charged with violation of the anti-trust law in the purchase of com peting compresses, was called. The demurrers were presented and argued br A- M. aCrter of Fort Worth and M. M. Crase of DaMas for the defend ant and Attorney General Bell for the state. Judge Morris overruled defend ant's exceptions to the state's petition and sustained the state's exceptions to the defendant's answer, wherein It was charged that other trusts and combi nations exist In Texas. The case then came to trial on an agreed statement of tacts, in which the compress com pany acknowledged to having pur chased the several compresses Attor ney General Bell argued on behalf oi the state, contending that the absorp tion by purchase of competing proper ties was in violation of the anti-trust law.

Numerous author ities were quoted on both sides. Ex-Senator Carter ^rill speak today for the defense. Attorneys Henry D. McDonald of Paris and R. S. Lovett of Houston were present, representing compress stockholders. KILLED BY A POLICEMAN 4 les tori I on Neltoo Are Shot llotvo tj Knozvlll« hy Jo· Crus*.
