HORSE CETS LAUCH For Congress has ' "Slo'ed" torner-Garal Onto Hone Shoe Tnwt. AtAIHINOTON dis patches bring- the word that the Horse Shoe Trust Is to be Investigated by the govern ment. Attorney Gen. Wickersham, on representations made to him by Representative Earnhart of Indiana, whose district embraces the great carriage and wagon trust Iocs ted st South Bend, and known as the Studebaker Company, Is going to send Ms faithful sleuths out on the trail In the hope of discovering whether there there really Is such a condition as Barnhart says exists. The majesty of the United States government is to be invoked to awe those who are trying to control the price of horse shoes and nails perhaps to the detriment of the unshod horse, which has, under ordinary circumstances, a hard row to travel in order to compete with his more modern competitor, the automobile. It's a case of going bare-footed this cold weather or paying the trust's demands. Charges that the horse shoe manufacturers of the country are operating under a trust agreement regulating prices from factory and from the Jobber or dealer, . have been placed in the hands of the attorney-general today by Mr. Barnhart.
