The grain report issued by the de
partment of agriculture shows a
healthy increase in the estimated
production over that of last year.
A Washington dispatch, carried
by the Associated Press says: The
houso has so amended the sundry
civil appropriation Dill as virtually
in the opinion of Aattorney Genoral
to repeal the Sherman anti-trust law,
Wickersham, if the provision is
finally enacted into law.
The amendment, it is said, would
legislate Jacob M. Dickinson, for
merly secretary of war, out of the
employ of the government as its
"chief counsel" in tho steel trust
suit, as well as similarly affect Mr.
Townsend, special assistant to the
attorney general in the proceedings
for the recovery of oil lands from
the Southern Pacific companies and
otnera.
Tho provision would forbid the
attorney general from using the sun
dry civil appropriations for the pay
ment of salary or allowance to any
person holding another position
under tho government or who had
been in the federal employ during
the preceding two years.
A dispatch from Washington says:
