COAST PLUMBINGSUPPLY COMBINE

TOCOMPROMISEAgreement Is Reached With the

Government; DissolutionSuit Filed

Oakland Woman Is Named as

One of the IndividualDefendants

LOS ANGELES, Dec. —A suit to

dissolve the so called'plumbing trust

of 'the Pacific, coast, with the Pacific

Coast Plumbing Supply association, an

unincorporated organization with of-fices at San Francisco, and the nationalwmmittec of the Confederated Supply

associations, a corporation of New

York city, as the principal defendants,

was filed In the United States districtcourt here today. , ...

".The action, which charges unlawful

restraint of trade and Icommerce and

which had , ,11 expected for sometime, was filed upon receipt of / tele-

• irraphie instructions from the depart-

mont of justice at Washington.in all there are 86 defendants, 27 of

whom are classed as "corporation. de- ;

fondants" and the other 59 as "mdi- ;

vidual defendants." Of the latter oneis a woman, Alice T. Carrigan, secre-tary of the P. F. Howard company ofOakland.SLIT IS COnrROJHSK

The suit is practically a compromise,it having been understood that the gov-

ernment originally intended to insti-tute criminal actions against the•'trust."

Before the compromise was effectedand while the grand jury investigationwas in progress, Eugene Goodwin, sec-retary of the Pacific Coast PlumbingSupply association, committed suicidein, San Francisco. A demand had just

been made upon him by A. I. McCor-'miek. United States district attorneyhere, to produce tue books of the con-cern for the grand jurors' inspection.

The corporations named besides thePacific Coast Plumbing Supply associa-tion and the national committee of theConfederated Supply association were:

The H. It. Boynton company. Los Angeles;A. H. Busch company. Los Aiijrc!os; Crane com-pany. Los AngelPß, San Francisco and Oaklandand land. Ore.. Seattle. Tacoma and Spo-kane. Wash.: Harper & Reynolds company. LosAngeles; Holbrook. Merrill & Stetson. Los An-;re!e* and San Fran.-i-,o : W. W. Montairne &«'o.. Los Angeles and San Francisco; Tay-com-pany, f..;>> Anglos; N. O. »i«on Manufacturing

.company. T»s Angeles and Ssn Francisco: Dal-."zlel-Moller company. San Francisco; Haines,Jones & Cadbury, San Francisco and Philadel-phia: R. \u25a0 W. Kinney company. Oakland and SanFrancisco; Mark-LaHy company. San Francisco:George H. Tay company: California Steam andPlumbing Supply company. San Francisco: Miller-nnrigbt company. Sacramento. Cal.: P. F. How-ard company. Oakland: Western Metal Supply.'ompany. San Pieco: Gauld company. Portland;M. L. Kline. Portland: Peerless Pacific company,Portland; Bowles company. Seattle; A. Ham-*hach company. Seattle: Holley-sfason Hardwarecompany. Spokane. Wart.; Hucbes & Co.. Spo-kane, and. Walsh & Gardner. Tacoma.OFFICERS ARK NAMED

The individual defendants are officers

.nnd managers of the corporations orthe members of such partnerships^ ;

The suit alleges that the defendantsformed the "combination conspiracy"about January 1, 1907," and have ; beencontinuously combined ever since to re-!strain trade. It is asserted that to con-trol the trade in the three Pacific statesnamed the defendants conspired to pre-vent manufacturers of plumbing sup-plies throughout the United States fromtransacting business with any concernwhich did not belong to the associa-tion and was. not listed In its "bluebook." To force the manufacturers torefuse to sell to nonmembers of the as-sociation, the defendants, it is alleged,resorted to the'boycott.

The "blue book"' was printed and Is-sued by the national committee of theConfederated Supply Associations. I

The government asks that the de-fendants be enjoined rom publishingor circulating or using a "blue book;'*from further boycotting of memberswho might sell to others than membersof the association, and generally re-strained from continuing so called trustmethods.

Decree Agreed UponWASHINGTON, Dec. IS.—The civil

suit against the socalled Pacific coastplumbing "trust" is the direct result ofconferences here between officials of thedepartment of justice and representa-tives of most of the defendants. An

greed decree will likely be the out-rome. The grand jury investigation ofthe "trust" at Los Angeles will be sus-pended and " probably terminated, al-though the government has not commit-ted itself to that course.

WITNESS TELLS OFTALK WITH LEWIS

Accused Man Said to Have|Burned Bloodstained Gag

Found in Attic1

[Special Dispatch io The Call]OROVILLE, pec. 18.—The = most im-

portant testimony that has yet beenI given In the case of Arthur Lewis,

' charged with the murder of little *13year old Helen Rumball, was offered to-day, when Mrs. Harriet Plantz took thestand and told of the conversation held•with Lewis-during a lonely midnight

vigil that she maintained over the deadbody of the little, girl. The testimony

created a profound impression, and" thejuror*, -leaning forward,' listened toevery word with the closest attention.

-Mrs. Plantz, who is a nurse, told of avisit to the garret where the little girlwas tied, of the fact that the day wasextremely warm, and that even at m -night the garret was unbearably hot.She stated that not far away from

where the girl "was tied- she found anincubator ""going full blast. The win-dows' in the garret .were, closed. The

heat was stifling. The witness then; toldof how she had found the rope with;

which the little girl was bound. " Look-ing down, she saw a pi«*ce of unbleached

; muslin at -her feet. She picked lit upi and found that it was a gag and bloody

i in the center. - When she showed it to

I Lewis he took- it from her,; told her not

I to tell any :, one that she had seen <it,'

and Informed her;that he would burn it.This he did. -" :

Later, when; the could stand the sus-

pense no longer, she had demanded thathe tell her how the crime ,had occurred.He had then told her that; in the morn-Ing the r girlT was supposed to milk threecows and had only milked two..;, He had

told har« stepmother, who is his sister.'of the fact; and she had beaten the girl;

| with a strap. •". *7f '. .. : - .....\: * V -..,...: '..:,*The girl had thrown herself to .theground and the mother had thrown abucket of .water > on her. 'The "mother:still insisted that she milk the cow:and 'would: nor allow her to/change her

clothes. LatT. at the breakfast, an-other quarrel arose. He had then left

i home. ,"'-' ,' *. " \u25a0"."'"**" ""'-I One of the; most horrifying portionsi of the story * was : the recital-; that: ati 6:30 o'clock Lewis went up - into vthe

! attic, where the*girl was tied, and there; taunted her. -She had told him to go!downstairs and- mind his own business.i "You will tell lies, will \u25a0 you?" he toldMrs. Plantz £that "}he :said to the girl?

He left the attic Jwithout • effort to al-

leviate -the.^girl's sufferings.;;\: ::,:About ;;:. o'clock, he told :••Mrs.

Plantz,' his sister came to him/and in-formed him that Helen was dead andthat she had found her dead in thegarret. This latter testimony is of. theutmost importance, inasmuch as whentaken 1 into conjunction with the testi-mony of the physicians already in, it

fixes the time of the girl's death at iapproximately the same time that Lewis :visited the garret. The cross exam-ination failed to change the witness'/story in any material degree.

Considerable criticism was directedat the so called "red tape" in the ad-ministration of the land laws, whichhad the effect. It was said, of retardingsettlement all through the west anddiverting immigration into Canada.

MITEMORENEEDEDFOR CALL'S FUND

Widows of Heroic PolicemenWill Be Tendered People's

Gift Christmas Eve

Along about the night before Christ-map, or possibly a night or so beforethtft, The Call will tender the gifts ofappreciation from the citizens of SanFram isco to the widows and orphans

of Policemen Tom Fennelly and CharlieCastor, who died doing their duty.

The fund lacks only a little of $10,000

and it is confidently expected that thenarrow margin between the figure asit now stands and the sum desired willbe closed by the contributions thatwill come before the end of the week.

"Tt's going to be a pretty sad Christ-mas without our daddy being here,"said one of the Castor t>oys yesterday,"and I guess it will not be any too joy-

ful over at the Fennellys. But it is

Bom« consolation to know that we willnot have to face want. The money thatthe people have raised through The Callwill be a great help to us. Papa wasalways a good provider as far as hissalary would go, but he could never lay

anything aside. I tell you we feel moregrateful that we can express ourselvesto the people and to The Call."

The money that the generous SanFranciscans have been sending into theoffice of this newspaper will go to meeta great want. It will go to feed and tobuy clothing for the little ones and pro-vide comfort for the two women whowere made widows by the bullets of anassassin.

The collections that are being madeamong the members of the police de-partment will be in the fund not laterthan Thursday.

"A Friend" sent $•"> to the fund yes-terday and a sympathizer contrib-uted $1.

Keep up the good work until the end

of the week. Lets make it an even$10,000 —$5,000 for each of the twowidows and their children.
