TURPENTINE TRUST VERDICT STANDS. / November 30. In affirming the judgment of the circuit court in the ‘'naval stores” case, the United States court of appeals handed down no lengthlv opinion, merely reciting that the coi’ft is of the opinion that there i 9 no error in the record. A possible writ of certiorari is all. that now stands between two of the convicted officers of the American Naval Stores Company, the so-called turpentine trust, and prison terms It is said that application for the writ to have tlie case reviewed by the United States supreme court will be made within the next few davs. This case was tried before Judge Willis B. Sheppard at Savannah. Ga , in May, 1909, the indictment containing three counts charging violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. The re suit of the trial marked the first conviction of .officers of a cor poration under this statute and two of the officers were given jail in addition to heavy Iwiies. Edmund S.

Cooper Myers, vice president, $2,500 and three months’ im prisonment; George M. Board ina;*, New York, treasurer, $2,000; and Carl Muller, agent, Jackson ville, $5,U00. The secretary, C. J. Deloach, was acquitted. The convicted Dllif-ers were found guilty ou the first and second counts of the in dictment. which charged con spiracy to restrain trade and con spiracy to create a monopoly.

Moisant, as president of the International Aviators, who i were to have held a three days’ meet in this city, cancelled their engagement yesterday morning-, - giving as their reason the fact that the air currents generated by Lookout mountain and the surrounding ridges are too treacherous to permit flying. The meet of Monday afternoon was a distinct failure, for altho | three starts wer ? made,'only one flight was exhibited for the crowd, w.hic-h stood impatiently in the cold for three hours in an ticipation of the fulfillment of the original program, which in cluded a trip to ‘Lookout moun tain over the city. Frisbie, in a Curtiss biplane, and Carros, in the Demoiselee, did not rise more than twenty feet from the ground, alighting immediately. Simon in his Bie riot, made a successful flight of some five minutes duration, slightly satisfying the disappoint ment of the crowd. Most of the party has gone to Memphis, where they will give a three days’ meet. Civil papers were served yes terday upon Charles K. Hamil ton and Nat Reyes, Hamilton’s former manager, as a result of a suit for $5,000 for breach of con tract which has been instituted in circuit court against the two men by J. P. Daly, of this city. The suit is the result of Ham ilton’s failing to appear here last April soon after appearing in Nashville, as it is alleged he con tracted with Daly to do. TO FCRTTY CANAL.
