IJ.S. WILL SUE “to break pine ORGANIZATION Anti-Trust Action to Be Based on Price-Fixing Charge. WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.—A civil antitrust action for dissolution of the Southern Pine Association will be filed in a Missouri Federal Court within a few days, Franklin K. Knebeker, special assistant to Attorney General Palmer, said here today. The association has been charged with violation of the anti trust laws in several reports made to Congress by the Federal trade commission. The association, ■which Is the largest of lumber manufacturers In the United States, has maintained a system of communication among Its members through which it conducted means to fix prices, the commission ' charged. ✓ , . Breaking np of this practice should bring lower j>rices for lumber and go far toward relieving tbe housing shortage. It was asserted. “Attorney General Palmer must pass on the evidence and the petition to be filed In court,” said .Tudge Knebeker. “The evidence on which the suit will be based was collected In a special investigation made by the Department of Justice and by the Federal Trade Commission. "Dissolution of the association will be asked and also a permanent injunction to prevent its members from continuing the practices complained of.”

STATE SCHOOL CONTROL BILL MOVES AHEAD (Continued From rage One.) Representative Abrams with currying favor with “certain individuals” in v askIng that the bUI be defeated. The minority report of the Committee on Judiciary A, which considered the bill, favoring Indefinite postponement, •was adopted by at viva voce vote. Almost an hour’s time was consumed in discussion of the Barker bill, which provides for centralization of control of the three educational institutions of tne State. The Committee on Education returned a divided report, the majority— Representatives Knapp, Willis of Steuben, Gill, Phillips and Leer—favoring indefinite postponement and the minority favoring passage. Representative Barker, Boone County, who introduced the measure, declared the bill should pass, although he was of the opinion that sentiment may be against/ it. “We are faced with the situation,” he said, “of pooling the interests of the schools when an appropriation is asked and there is a lobby consisting of representatives of all the schools endeavoring to obtain the appropriation. If this pooling of interests is good in one instance, why not in another? “The result would be greater efficiency and more economy. The organization which the schools now have in trying to obtain their appropriation Is one that can hardly be broken down,*’ he said. The bill was opposed by Representative Paul Hawor'h, Marlon County. He declared the trouble with the institutions now is that too many men unfamiliar with the needs of educational institutions have been placed on boards of trustees He stated, however, that the present boards are efficient and added that he could aee no reason why the new plan should be adopted. He objected to the salary of SI,OOO that would be paid members of the proposed board, stating that the salary might as well be abolished. The plan has been tried in Michigan and other States, he said, and has been found unsatisfactory. The vote on substitution of the minority report for that of the majority was adopted, 46 to 31. The bill now goes to second reading. PRIMARY BILL DIE3 BY OVERSIGHT! Unknown to most of the members of the House, the Willis bill, providing for repeal of the primary election law, was killed by a report of the Committee on Elections. The bill was reported out for Indefinite postponement and in the rush to complete committee reports the accepted the committee's recommendations. The bill, wiille it was never officially received by the administration forces, ’was one of a series of moves made by Republican leaders to kill the primary law. Representative Willis declared he Introduced the bill on his own initiative but it was generally regarded as designed for a test of strength. The Senate had killed the Beardsley anti-primary bill and for that reason the House was selected as the next place of attack. After the administration forces were decisively beaten in the Senate and were out-maneuvered by the pro-primary men in other circles It came to be generally accepted that the move against the statute was dead. As was expected, a divided report was returned by the Committee on Judiciary A on the bill which would abolish the departments of banking and insurance. The signers of the minority report, which favored passage, were Representatives Omer U. Newman, Marion County, and ,R. U. Barker, Posey County, co-authors. It was stated by Representative Claude Smith, one of the authors of the measure, that -the departments weiy costly and inefficient. “I say now, as I said when the department was created, that it is merely something to create more salaries for political pie hunters,” said Smith. Tbe department was defended by Rep- j resentatlves .Mann and Freeman, who de- i dared the department has resulted In a saving to the people through regulation of the banking and Insurance business, i Representative Chester A. Davis, Jay ; County, declared the bill should not pass because the public did not desire it. He said that at a public hearing not one person spoke in defense of the bill and that the 175 persons who attended were all j In favor of retention of the departments. Representative Russell N. Bedgood! Tippecanoe County, one of the co-authors of the bill, declared tliht the departments should be separated and the insurance department returned to the auditor of State. The majority report was overwhelmingly adopted, thereby indefinitely postponing the bUL Plaint of Singers Stirs Cops^Sympathy “Nobody knows bow dry I am; nobody seems to give a ,” was the song that reached the ears of Motor Officers Drinkut and Bernaner as they entered Edna Phillips' residence, 230 North Lib- i erty street. Edna was not at home, for she is serving a ten-day vacation after j being convicted of conducting an Illegal house. The singing continued until the police • Interrupted with the remark, “we care how dry you are.” The police charge that six men who were singing were under the influence of hair tonic. They arrested John Kelleher, a roomer, who had charge of the house while Edna was and James Butlers John Gillln, James Willis, all of the Craig Hotel, and Cliff Jekal. 1110 Deloss street, and Roy Thompson, 535 East New Ycrk street.

SHELBY STREET HEARING UPSET BY HOT CHARGES (Continued! From Page One.) cost, since the railroad alone would seek to collect damages from the city in the sum of $343,000 if Shelby street were cut through its property. Thomas A. Riley, Democratic member of the board, said he wished emphatically to state that no corporation had sought to bring influence to b*Rr on the board to prevent opening of the street. This brought out a storm of comment, Mr. Downey recalling the letter which the board received from the local manager of the Standard Oil Company in | which mention was made of a “conference” with the board and the board was i thanked for its indication that it would i oppose the opening. This letter was ! first discovered and made public by the j Daily Times. % I Mrs. Martin lielffel, president of the | original South Side Women’s Club, took the breath of the board members when : she said she wished to take issue with i Mr. UU-y_ on his statement that no cor- '■ poratlon "was seeking to Influence the j hoard. “I remember very well/’ she stld, i “that one day when we women were in here seeking an improvement for our | section Mr. Lemanx (president of th“ (■board) told us: ‘One of the things we | want to do for you is to open up eheluy i street from Washington to Maryland street. I may have the Standard Oil Company and some other of the big corporations to fight, hut I’m for the improvement and we’ll put it through for you.’ ” Mr Lemaux did not deny making the i statement. The uproar became such that Mr. Lemaux was compelled to rap smartly for order and request the interested parties to speak one a a time. ! He said the board did not take kindly to some of the statements made by Mr. j Downey, Vho did most of the for the south siders, because he considered them as personal attacks on the board members' integrity. He said the board j was attempting to represent the best interests of the whole city. Mr Downey denied having made any statements derogatory to any of the hoard members. “Why, the other day when yon were in here on this same matter you said that if the tnnyof had appointed board members fro rnthe south side the south side would get what It wants," Mr. Lemuux said. JEWETT HOT UNDER COLLAR. “I did,” Mr. Downey replied. “And I repeat It here In the presence of tbe mayor hlmselfC’’ the mayor promised us some representation on some of tis hoards before he was elected.” “You’re a pretty bright fellow." the mayor responded with some heat, “but let mo do some of tho talking. I did not promise the siAith side represents tlon upon my boards. I appoints my boards to represent the whole <lty and not particular sections." “The north side you mean," someone in the crowd shouted.. The statement of the committee which precipitated the battle was as' follows: In view of the campaign of falsification ami misrepresentation now being carried on by the Standard Oil Company and the Frank 51. Dell Coal Company tl.e latter occupying a lar„e tract of ground owned by the I’ecnsylvanla Railroad, in their effort to defeat the proposed opening of Shelby street In a straight line, we deem it necessary to file with you the following statement; It is being stated to numerous persons in the neighborhood by certain persons circulating petitions against the proposed opening that Frank M. Dell and others connected with his coal company, which Is located on the ground through which the street will pass, have declared small pieces of property, smatv homes, etc., will be assessed as much as $20(1 and S3OO each in tbe event tbe street is cut straight through. Ninety eight per cent of the names on any petition that may bo presented to this board against the opening have been secured by such falsehoods and ridiculous statements. Investigation has been made snd the stretch of ground sixty feet wide from the north line of Maryland street to Southeastern avenue 1 assessed at not r more than $5,180. The Fletcher American National Baok owns two lots facing Maryland street that will be taken. These are twenty-five and forty feet wide and ninety-four feet deep. One lot, twontyfive feet wide, is assessed at $660, and the other, forty feet wide, at SB4O. As only sixty feet will be needed, five feet can bo cut off of the east side lot uud this would reduce the cost ut least a hundred dollars, making the cost of both not more than SI,BOO. As real estate is now assessed at its real value, they can not very well demand much more Ba°k of these lots ure the C., I. & W. and P., C., C. At St. L. tracks, for a distance of ninety six feet. Then comes the ground owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which is leased to the Frank M. Dell Coal Company. The assessors’ books show the distance from the tracks to Southeastern avenue to be 267.2 feet. Taking a strip of this ground sixty feet wide and 267.2 feet long and rating its value on the basis of the two lots Just mentioned belonging to the Fletcher American National Bank, It would bj> valued at not more than $3,830. This would make the total previously mentioned $5,180, the assessed value of all the ground that would be needed to cut Shelby street straight through to Southeastern avenue. NO NEED FOR MORE GROIN’D. As Southeastern avenue is paved and sixty feet wide and runs into Washington street half a block or about 200 feet from wnere Shelby street would enter it, there is no necessity for any more ground to be acquired to complete the proposed Shelby street cut through. It lias been asserted by the persons whose interests would be affected by the proposed opening that we also would have to have and intended to take ground running from Southeastern avenue to Washington street direct, u stretch probably 150 feet long and sixty feet wide. This is net at all necessary, sand as far as the people in the section south of Maryland street are concerned, they want a direct route to the downtown district, and with Shelby street cut straight through to

Southeastern avenue, then a short distance to Washington street is what we demand. The important thing now is to get this street cut straight through the proposed elevation of tracks; it is now Or never. In the years to come if future generations wish to continue Shelby street on a direct line north to Washington street it will be an easy matter to complete It that way and the assessments then would fall on a large district lying north of Washington street as well as south, as both coul<r be benefited, i We w ere surprised to know that we were i demanding a straight cut north right into Washington street. What the people want is a straight cut through these tracks before they are elevated in order to give them a straight line to the downtown district. We either get it now or we never get it, and neither do tho people that come after us. A substitute plan has been offered the board, and, bear this in mind, they offer it on the plea that it will cost less than the proper way of having the street cut straight through. Members of ! the park board, it is claimed, will buy a whole block and a quarter and after a space sixty feet wide is used to make j a Jog for Shelby street from the first | alley south of Georgia street to a point | at Maryland and Cyuse streets the park I board would convert the ground rej maining into a park. A wonderful plan, but it will never be carried out, it was ! proposed to the park board evidently by I the Dell Coal Company, the Standard Oil j Company and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for the purpose of defeating the cutting through of Shelby street. FILLING STATION IN DANGER. Incidentally I will state here that the I Staudard Oil* will be damaged by having located their filling station at South- | eastern avenue ami Washington street ■ and if Cruse street is closed they evli dently have come to the conclusion they j have chosen the wrong location. As I president of an association I have been j before the park board with committees j from onisjissocia tlon and made efforts to j have that board some years ago, before | the Big Four cut its tracks through this J district ruined it, eausiug a large i number of people to move elsewhere, and I nregd that board to cut several blocks into the No. 7 school yard and throw j the whole space along with the school ] building into a park. They would have i none or it. It was no place for a park, | they Bald ; in addition they would rej quire more ground than two or three blocks, it is wonderful how quick they | have acted in this case with u promise, | and that is all it is. Certainly very powerful interests were at work. Now, let's look into this proposed ' ground to be used as a park. In <he space there are ndw located, twenty-two ; bouses on twenty-two separate lots, in j addition, on the quarter block south of Georgia street at least live houses and i lots will be taken. The assessor's books iShow that the property is assessed at ; about $50,006. In order to acquire It those living In their homes, of course, would demand and should be paid more than tbe assessed value. A conservative figure would be that it would take $75,000 to acquire the property. In addition to this, the paving of Shelby ' street through this property would then have to be paid out of clfv funds. The distance would be at least 500 feet. This at a rate of about sl7 a running foot, as the property on both sides would be j owned by the city, would total $8,500. j Here Is a grand total of at least $83,500. ; “Hear this In mind, we nre In favor ] of a rark there or anywhere else on the . south side, whether it is a proper lo- | cation or not. And we call attention to j the fact that without the street running through It a very much better Place for a park would be secured. And jif the street is ordered rtit straight ! through os we demand, we hereby serve notice on the board of park commissioners that we call their bluff and wo Insist that they go through with the 1 proposed plan, but without anv street j cutting through It to interfere with i children and others that would be j using it" HOARD MEMBERS CLOSE NEIGHBORS. > Here and now I wish to call attention to the fact that th* head of this coal company (the Dell Coal Company) ltvea at 4285 North Meridian street. A close neighbor Is F. <’. Gardner, residing a I 4131 North Meridian street, and a little i farther, down Meridian street, at 3024, w * | have Samuel E. Rauh, also a member of| ‘ the park board. Farther down the street we find Mr. Charles E. Coffin, Itv ! mg at 1213 North Meridian street. There : are four members of this board, and the last one. E. A, Stuckemeyer, resides at 3250 North New Jersey -freet, not very far from Ranh and Gardner. Is it possible tha A these neighbors may have ai led together to help one of their aristocratic friends In order that lie may ■retain a lease on ground owned by tie I’ensylvaula Railroad Company, but at the same time hinder the progress of thousands of residents of the south side whoi now that track elevation is/pro greasing, have only two or three street ! that will be open, and they would pre vent the proper oiwnlng of Shelby board of public works, who had ordered the street cut through in the right way? The general manager of the Deli Coal Company, Mr William F. Cornelius, who resides at 686 Middle Drive, Woodruff j dace. I have been tnf< rmed, Is very ac ! tlve in trying to organize the people liv : Ing In this section to protest against the j proper opening of Shelby street and Is fnvoring the substitute, lie nor Mr. Dell ! have absolutely no Interest. In our see- | tlon of the city outside (>f their coni yard i Interests, and I don't think any one [ aware of tbe facts thinks otherwise, j FLEA BASED ON TEAM YARD I’LAN’S. Tho principal objection of the representatives of the corporations to the Shelby street plan was that it would takp a sixty-foot strip out of the ground now occupied by the Deli Coal Company and owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, on which the railroad intends to establish a team yard in conjunction with the elevation of its tracks. W. S. Frye, transfer man, who has been a leader among the hauling interests of the city, said it would be a fine thing to have a team yard at the point designated, but he felt the best interests of the whole city demanded the straight opening of Shelby street. He said he did not think it would hurt the railroad ;
