Sherman anti-trust law. We may not be able to accomplish much at the present session, but at least weiwill be ready for the special session of congress.” New Orleans, Dec. 4 —Dr. O’ W.

Y., Dec. 4—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Railroad lawyers who hastily examined the anti-merger decision of the supreme coure were admittedly astounded at the ramifications that are possible under it. For the most part they agreed that other roads will have to separate them-

aelvea from connecting llnea that have been gobbled up in the past if the atoraey general or his democratic successor desires to press the .point. One of the results it was said might be to seek to compel the Reading to relinquish its control of the Central railroad of New Jersey. It was jmssible that the government would consider what effect the decision might have on the ownership of the Boston & Maine by the New Haven; the ownership of the New York Central of either the Uike Shore or the Michigan Central and the ownership of the Pennsylvania of the systems it controls. - — Ix>s Angeles, Cal., Dec. 4—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Cecelia F“arley, who was recently acquitted at Columbus, Ohio, of murder, arrived today in good spirits.

The court held that since Edison was not the originator of film strings used in the “movies” his company did not have patent rights. Millions of dollars were involved in the litigation.

D. Porter is proprietor, are finding popular favor. This is one of Decatur’s good industries and the works located on East i Monroe street, in the old Waring glove factory building, is an interestI ing place to visit. Whije the carriages and buggies built by them, are of all makes and varieties, the storm buggy is particularly interesting at this time. It is a veritable little house on wheels. The finely upholstered seat, broad and spacious and comfortable, with the buggy bed, is enclosed on all sides by glass-door panels, giving one light and an outlook on all sides. The side-doors slide easily, making exit easy, and in summer can be thrown open as well as the front and rear doors, making an open buggy. At the sides are small glass panels, easy to open and close,

which will find especial favor with tobacco chewers or smokers. All the panels are of poplar, and will stand much more wear than many of the foreign product which are built of paper. Five are now ready for delivery, and seven others In the course of construction. Besides these specials, there is a stock of from twelve to fifteen of other varieties, always on hand, ready for instant, delivery. The Decatur buggy is one of the best on the market, and the home industry should be given special encouragement. A visit to the plant will convince any one of Its merit and superiority. The builder is a Decatur young man, of wide experience, and is worthy of the staunch support of his fellow citizens and friends.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 6 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —White slave convictions, criminal and civil prosecutions under the Sherman act, frauds on the revenues, violations of ’he national banking laws and the postal laws and miscellaneous crimes during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1912, have paid in penalties imposed more than enough to support the entire judiciary of the United States, according to the annual report of Attorney General Wickersham, sumbitted to congress today. Although the operations of the department of justice, the courts and the government’s legal machinery in general cost $2,532,560.23, an increase ’ of $232,620.23 over that of the year ended June 30, 1911, there was actually collected and paid into the treasury of the United States an aggregate of $2,749,070.15. This reveals the somewhat startling fact that, despite the desperate efforts of the government, crime, vice and illegal business have thrived. The attorney general in submitting the report for increased appropriations, more drastic laws and increased authority in the administration of the judiciary. He reviewed the work of the department and revealed the exact status of the nation’s crime quashing machinery.

Among the most important of the recommendations submitted in the report is placing federal attorneys, ' assistant attorneys and other officials under the civil service rules. o— —■— “Four sons, a grandson and a son-in-law were active pall bearers and members of the George H. Thomas post, G. A. R., were honorary pall bearers at the funeral of Dr. Henry Moore, held Wednesday afternoon at the Moore home, 5602 East Washington street,” says the Indianapolis Star. “The ritualistic service of the G. A. R. was conducted following prayer and and a sermon by the Rev. Lee Murray and the Rev. John C. Bickel. Patients at the state tuberculosis hospital, with which Dr. Moore was formerly connected as president of the board of trustees, were among those who sent floral designs. One floral piece came from a person who signed himself, j ‘One Who Loved Him and Loved His , Boys.’ “The body was taken to a vault in Crown Hill cemetery, where it will re-, main until the arrival of Mrs. John Wallace of San Francisco, a daughter. Burial will be early next week. “The 1912 Christmas Seals campaign is to be dedicated to the memory of Dr. Moore, who as a state organizer of the Indiana Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, was a member of the Christ-1 mas Seals Commission. The other members of the commission, including Dr. Theodore Potter, Severance Burrage, Mrs. Lew G. Ellingham and James W. Lilly, determined yesterday to appeal to the| workers throughout the state to make special endeavor to bring the sale to a high mark as a tribute to Dr. Moore. The resolution adopted by the commission says, in part:

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S CABTORIA

“In the death of Dr. Henry Moore, the great humanitarian tight against tuberculosis in Indiana has suffered an irreparable loss. “We recognize, however, the fact that his Influence will continue to be a stay and support to this work, and in this we have pleasure. For Dr. Moore’s services were so evidently unselfish and broad-spirited that his work will be an inspiration to all citizens of large heart who have come into contact with him in this movement” REV. S. H. BAUMGARTNER Will Conduct Special Services at Calvary Evangelical. The revival services conducted by the Rev. E. B. Jones at the Calvary Evangelical church east of the city, continue with increasing interest. Special services will be conducted Friday and over Sunday, and Rev. S. H. Baumgartner of Indianapolis will be here to preach. Rev. Baumgartner will also conduct the third quarterly conference. Sunday morning at 10:30 o’clock there will be the communion service at the Salem church Instead of Calvary, but all or the night serv- 1 ices will be at Calvary. All are welcome. o - A FEATURE FILM.

Tonight, at the Crystal theater, a historical film of interest will be shown covering a precarious period leading up to and following the abdi-1 cation of King Henry Fifth of Spain. ! King Charles’ son is a scholar in a monastery and in the abdication the older brother is named king. The younger brother, San Juan, escapes from the monastery and accompanies his sweetheart to see the coronation of the king, where the new king becomes infatuated with the girl. The exciting race between the two brothers, leading to their knowledge of each other when the father interferes is interesting. All hand-colored films, two reels of them, with a comedy film to fill up the bill. — — o IN MEMORIAM. Death has again brought sorrow to the members of St. Mary’s lodge, No. 167, I. O. O. F. The despoiler of human hopes has again entered our circle, and borne hence a brother of strong convictions, wise judgment, and tender regard for the rights of others; unassuming in spirit, yet strong in purpose and courage. Brother Harruff became an Odd Fellow in 1879, and has always been a loyal and faithful member from that time until his death, which came as a shock to us all, and scarcely a moment’s warning to him, teaching us the lessor, that death regards not the season of the year nor the age of its victims, as our brother had not yet lived his allotted time of “three-score years and ten." Resolved, That we as a lodge and individual members mourn the loss of our brother, but bow- submissively to the will of our Father.

Resolved, That we extend to the • widow and children our sincere sym- > pathy in this their time of sorrow, and that we will ever hold sacred the • memory of our brother. Resolved, That this memoriam be spread upon the records of our lodge, and that a copy be given each of our daily papers, and a copy be sent to the bereaved family. DANIEL SPRANG, J. M. MILLER, SAMUEL BUTLER, Committee. Mrs. Margaret Miller, better known as “Grandma” Miller, residing on the state line, was brought home from Youngstown, Ohio, this week, where she had spent several weeks.

She ' was accompanied home by her two ; daughters-in-law, Mesdames Wilford (and Harshie Miller, who were there two weeks, going to care for her and bring her home. She stood the trip well and is able to sit up much of the time. Mrs. Miller is about seventysix years of age. Her many friends will be pleased to hear of her .recovery. Mrs. Arthur Bleeke of Union township, who was at the point of death several days ago, and grew better, suffered a relapse and was very bad again today. Fred, little son of Fred Thieme, of | Union township, is much better. He was dangerously ill from appendicits, for which he underwent an operation.
