THE TOPEKA DAXL.Y STATE JOURNAL FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 7,1915. READY FOR PROBE Both CItII and Criminal Proceedings for Bridge Trust. 21 DEAD IN STORM 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, according to A. M. Keene, of Fort Scott, conducting the investigation under direction of a M.

Brewster, attorney general. Taking of testimony may begin this month before Judge Hulett, of the Bourbon county' district court. Hundreds of letters and bits of evidence in the case are now in the hands of the Fort Scott lawyer and he is preparing a list of witnesses who will be called to testify in the case. Proceedings 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 competent 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 Topeka.

evidence gathered by attorneys for the state 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 never 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 assessed 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 building companies will come under the inspection of Keene in his inquiry concerning 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 alleged bridge trust. It Is probable that the inquiry will continue several months, although the taking of testimony is expected to begin late this month. FAKE T.

All types of opinions are represented In the five hundred newspaper 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. International 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.

Lawrence is a Chicago Rotarian. A fund for Sunday school purposes was completed late Thursday amounting to 11,800. Of this amount $1,000 will go towards the world Sunday school work.

Trade lacked volume. Aftr opening at the same as last night to lc lower, prices rallied but again showed disposition to sag. More pronounced weakness developed later, specially after news seemed confirmed 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 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. ijf2 jfiSJ I pip Today Yea.

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 shipments of wheat are' expected to be larger and will soon reach a satisfactory proportion. 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 export demand for wheat is unprecedented.

Size of exports are incident entirely upon quantity available and tonnage. All importing 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. Continental 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.

Bonds were irregular. Price changes at the outset of today's mrket onerations reflected farther lrreg-larlty and confusion, due in part to London, where Americans were heavy.

United States Steel was barely steady while other prominent issues moved variably. The list steadied later and trading became dull.
