are again printed in The CALL. Its vast
Importance was not fully realized, even
by those most directly interested, when it
was first announced by the court on Mon
day last.
The point at issue was whether or not
the agreement of the Trans-Missouri
Freight Association TO maintain rates
within its territory was in violation OF the
antitrust law of 1890, prohibiting con-
tracts or combinations in restraint OF
trade. TIE court held that it was, and
must be abandoned. Justice Peckham, in
rendering the opinion of the court, said
that the case presented two questions OF
importance: ,
First-Does the antitrust act apply to
and cover common carriers by railway?
Second-If so. does the agreement com :
planned of violate any provisions OF that
act?
The court finally held as follows:
The question is one of law in regard
to the meaning and effect of the agree
ment itself, namely: Does the agree
ment restrain trade CONNIE rec in any
way so as to be violation of the act?
We have no doubt that it does. The
agreement on its face recites that it is
entered for the purpose of mutual pro-
lection, and violation subjects the
defauIting company to the payment of
penalty.
While in force, and assuming it to be
lived up to, there can be no doubt that
its direct, immediate and necessary ef-
feet Is to put a restraint upon trade or
commerce as described in the act.
Dispatches from various parts of the
country state that already a number of
railroad associations have decided to dis
solve and that other companies have sig
nified their intention of Withdrawing from
the associations TO W hich they belong.
No formal action has been taken by the
Southern Pacific Company, but this is
largely due to the fact that its principal
officers are away, acting as an escort to
President c. P. Huntington, who is on
his way to this City. He arrived yester-
day at Los Angeles and is expected to ar
rive here in day or two in order to at
tend the annual meeting OF the directors
of the company and at which an election
of officers is to be held. At this meeting,
which will be held within a week or two,

CARPENTERS DISTRICT COUNCIL

1t Deplores tho Practice of Letting Con-
tracts to Eastern Firms
A meeting of the District Council of the
Brotherhood OF Carpenters and Joiners of
America was held last evening at 102
O'FarreIl street.
A long resolution was passed reciting
that large portion of those who follow
carpenterlng for living in this and ad-
jacent cities are without employment be-
cause there is no work to be obtained
They deplored the practice of local cap
italists in letting contracts to firms, the
mem bers OF which reside in Eastern cities,
thereby depriving local carpenters of the
work which they consider rightly belongs
to them. An instance cited in the resolu-
tions refers to one of the SpreckeIs build
ings, the inside work of which has been
let to Chicago firm. The resolution was
concluded by general condemnation by
the District Council of the practice COM
planned of.

Repavement of Geary street.
The Merchants Association is much pleased
to find that its efforts in behalf of better

My baby had Eczema in its worst form.
The top of her head was as raw as piece of
beef, the hair eaten down to the scalp by ap-
plying tar poultices, and thought if she ever
got we'll she would be bald. The best physi-
clan in the city attended her, but she con-
tinued to get worse all the time, and he finally
admitted it was the most obstinate case he
had ever seen," and that he was at his wits

It is easier to remember things usu,

about how long cubit is till his father

measure called cubit was the distance
from mans elbow to the end Of his

HER HUSBANDS SERVANT,
Only rs such Can Mrs. Toy Voc Return
to This Country.

Because the new Chinese treaty
makes no specific provision for estab-
fishing the status of n Chinese woman
who may desire to leave this country
with intention to return, says the Phil
adelphia Record, Mrs. Toy Yce, the
wife of Lee Hoe, wealthy Race street
merchant, has applied to Collector
Read Tor permission to accompany her
husband to China in TIE canacity Of a
servant.
Some weeks ago Lee Hoe sold out his
business to Lee Chow, and determined
to make visit with his wife to their
old home, near Hong Kong. Lee Hoe
has been registered with Internal Rev
enue Collector Doyle, and his credel.
tials as merchant, with some thou
sands of dollars to his credit, were all
right. 1t was the intention of Lee Hoe
and his wife to remain in China not
longer than year, and when they filed
their applications for privilege to re-
turn with Collector Read, and gave him
their photographs, they were surprised
to find that there was barrier against
Mrs. Toy zee. The law was plain
enough SO far us Lee Hoe was con-
cerned, but nothing was said about the
wives of Chinese merchants. The law
did say that the servants of merchants
might enjoy the same rights as their
masters, SO Mrs. Toy Yce bought new
hat, arranged herself in true American
fashion before photographers camera,
and soon brought her picture to the
collectors Office, where it was filed
with her husbands photograph, and
the whole matter given to the special
treasury agents for investigations.
The treasury agents have reported
favorably and Mrs. Toy Yee will leave
for Hong Kong via Richfield. VT, in a
few days. The government takes a
liberal view Of the case and looks upon
the husband and wife rs one, but the
safeguard of strict compliance with the
law has been adhered to.

POISON EATERS.
Nation Whose People Arc Great Con-
sumers of Arsenic.

4 Nation Whose People Arc Great Con-
sumers of Arsenic.
Syria, duchy having a population
OF about n million and a half, and living
south OF Gratz in the mountains por-
ton of the great German confederation,
is noted for Its arsenic eaters. Accord
ing to DR.. Norman Kerr, in his "Ine-
briefly and Narcomania," arsenic eat
ers abound in every city, village and
neighborhood, and in thousands of
cases, every adult in family uses it al
most the same as sugar. Holland tells
OF Syrian peasant who contracted the
poison-eating habit by taking one and
half grains of arsenic on the first day,
three on the second and five and half
on the third. This man increased the
doses SO that by the end of the first
year he was regularly eating twelve
grains of the drug three times day
without visible harm. Maclagan men
tions the case OF man who daily con-
sumed twenty-five and one-half grains,
seven and one-haf grains before each
meal, of the poisonous drug. In his
estimation this was something truly
extraordinary. Hollands case is, of
course, much more wonderful, but DR..
Kerr reckons both as freaks, and Civ
it as his opinion that the regular poison
takers of Syria do not average more
than five and one-half grains during
each twenty-four hours. The remark
able part of this German oddly is
the fact that nearly everybody in the
entire province is addicted to the habit.
Like the clay-eaters of the southern
states, they are known by their sallow,
waxy-looking faces.
