TWENTY-TWO CONCERNS IN THE COMBINE President of the Omaha School Snniily Company Tulli * About the Muth- OIH Kmiiloyril h > - the Amer ican Truit. A suit has been filed In district court by Attorney General Smyth , the petition of which declares the existence of a school furniture trust , arid asks that the unlawful combination ba prohibited from doing bus- lucre In Douglas county or In the state of Nebraska. The defendants In the suit nre 'twenty-two school furniture companies , nearly all locates ! In Ohio and Michigan , which tha attorney general states have formed a combination under the title ot the American School Furniture company , The petition alleges that this unlawful a ' combination Is Incorporated under the laws of the state of New Jersey , with a capital clock of $10,000.000 , and that the sum of $500,000 has been set aside to be uaed In driving out competition. The entlra con trol ot tbo output of the companies and tha regulation of prices Is said to have boeu \put \ in the hands of a committee of five , and the result of the move , according to the jxjtitlon , Is that prices have been advanced 25 per cent , One of the defendants in the suit Is A. Almas , who la declared to be the agent of the trust for the state of Nebraska , and uhn U said to bo at the present time attempting to enter lute contract ! wltb the Board of Education of the city of Omaha In violation of the laws of the state. The attorney gen eral alleges that this combination Is a trust and a conspiracy against trade , and asks that It bo prohibited from doing business , or entering Into contracts within the state and that It bo prevented from entering Into [ any negotiations with the Omaha Board of Education. MrthoclM of the TriiHt. The Omaha School Supply company , an Independent corporation engaged In the pub lication , manufacture and jobbing of school supplies , Is more Interested , perhaps , in the eult which has been Instituted by Attorney General Smyth than anyone else. 0. C. Stanley , the president of this company , as serts that Its business IB Buffering Irrep arably by reason of the 'methodo employed by the American company. He said : "Along In tbo early part of this year the American School Furniture company was formed. It was the consolidation of a num ber of school furniture supply companies which had heretofore been operated Inde pendently. Our company the Onmba School Supply company Is a regularly organized corporation. In the line of school furniture we purchase our supplies outright from a big manufacturing establishment located at Grand Ilaplds , Mich. , buying In carload lots , which enables us to tfell cheaply at a low margin. When the American School Furni ture company was organized I was solicited to come to Chicago , ne the president of the Omaha company , and was urged to join the American , along wltb the other companies. "I looked carefully Into the matter , I found that In case I permitted our company to join the combine we would have to buy all our furniture only from such supply houses as should be dictated by the com bine. It meant an advance In the price of furniture. In toad of paying $1.50 for fiesta no would have to pay $1.85 , which would necessitate an advance in the selling price of from 30 to 40 per cent. I considered that It would be an Ill-advised move for our com pany to join the combine , as we were en joying a good business and giving our patrons satisfactory service , and I Informed the promoters of the American School Fur niture company to tbla effect. "Then the syndicate attempted to force us to join by threatening to open a branch house In Omaha to cover the territory which wo had bad almost exclusively. We paid no attention to them , but , nevertheless , while the syndicate has not opened a branch house , 11 has opened an agency here and located a general agent , whoso Instructions are to virtually run UN out of buulness and nil re strictions on prices have been removed. I'rotfNt from the Omaha Company , "An example of Its competition camu to light when the Omaha School lioanl re ceived bids for the necessary now seats , and right here we have a kick coming which Is mentioned at length In the peti tion of the attorney general In the Injunc tion suit ho has brought against the School Board. The School Board advertised for bids on school furniture. We filled ours and It was a very low one , because we felt that we would make It so low that If anyone - ono else got the order It would be nt , a mighty small flguro. The representative of the American School Furniture company also filed a bid , The committee held a meeting behind closed doors and considered the bids. This was at a special meeting held ou one Saturday night. No Inkling of the action taken by the committee was given until tha regular meeting of the board on the following Monday , An un usual thing was done , too , by the commit tee In refusing the right to any agent to appear before the board and say anything In favor of the scats which ha had to offer , The report of the committee recommended tha purchase of the Manltonoc seat through the American company and Us report was rushed through the board meeting without protest. The contract was awarded the American company regardless of the fact that Its bid was from 30 to 40 ceuts lilgber on each eeat than ours. The American' * bid was to furnish the seats at $1.70 each at the factory at Manltowoc , WIs , , while ours was to set the seats up In the school house bore for $1,65 , The amount of freight and expense of setting up the fur niture would far exceed the price at which wo offered to furnish the seats ready ( or use. The attorney general In this suit has enjoined the School Board from enter ing Into such a contract.

The explosion occurred just as tht night force wai leaving and the < Uy force wai coming on duty , * o that there were only a few men In the mill nthe \ time. If It had happened half an hour later the Hat of dead i and Injured would have been appalling. It ! occurred In the fourteen-Inch department nnd the concussion was terrific. Buildings were shaken a mile away and dust filled the air for two or three blocks. It entered open windows and nearly auffocated persons who were aroused by the rdar and tb shock. Fire FulliMvx I\I > | IIH | < III. Immediately following the explosion the wreckage took flro and this added to the ( llfllcultles encountered In rescuing tin * burned and mutilated vlctlm/i , A flro alarm was quickly sounaed and In a short time tbo flames were umlw control , i after which the firemen were employed Ih searching the ruins for the dead and In jured , The first two bodies taken out fere Identi fied as those of Heavens and Matthews. The bodies were lying against the wrecked furnace. The men had been knocked down by the flying bricks and were roasted to death by the heat of their own furnace. The others were found soon after and sent to the morgue. The Injured were removed to the South Side hospital , where they re ceived prompt attention. When the boiler burst a section of It weighing four tons was blown through tha roof and crashed Into the side of the houto of Godfrey Sanders , on Wright's alley , about 200 yardd distant. The building , which was of frame , was wrecked , but the occupants escaped wltb a bad fright , The flying portion of the boiler tore down the central supports of the roof , which fell In and partially burned aorao of those Injured , The collapsed roof and torn and scattered pieces of machinery and masonry formed a mau of wreckage In which the work of searching for the additional bodies supposed to be hidden by It wa slow and tedious work.

The causa of the explosion has not yet boon determined. The damage to the plant was heavy , but the Hrrn could not estlmaU It at this time.
