Four Happened in New York City in On
Day.

Day.

John Degnan, a laborer at the Hotel Waldorf

IRON PIPE POOL UNLAWFUL.
The Circuit Court OF Appeals Gives Heart
Blow to One of the Big Trusts.


Blow to One of the Big Trusts.
Cincinnati, Feb. 10. = The United
States circuit court of appeals for the
Sixth circuit yesterday decided the cast
ron pipe trust case. Justice Harlan
and Circuit Judges Taft and Lurton
composed the court. Judge Taft de-
.ivered the opinion. The suit was be-
gun in the United States circuit court
at Chattanooga by bill in equity fled
by the attorney general of the United
States against six cast iron pipe com
panies to enjoin them from continuing
to do business under a contract of as
sociation, which the bill charged was
4 violation of the federal antitrust act
If 1890 because it was in restraint of
Interstate trade in cast iron pipe and
an attempted monopoly of the same.
The court dismissed the bill and the
United States appealed.
BY the contract the defendants di-
vided the country into free" and pay"
territory. Free territory embraced
New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia
and all states north and east Of them.
Pay territory embraced the rest of the
United States. In free territory the
associates were permitted to sell pipe
at any price they saw fit. All orders
received from pay territory had to be
submitted to central board, which
fixed the price and then assigned the
job to the one of the associates which
would agree to pay to the others the
highest bonus. Certain large cities
were reserved to particular members,
and on orders received from them the
price and bonus were both fixed by the
board. Though the aggregate tonnage
capacity of the associates was only 30
per cent. of the total tonnage capacity
of all the mills in the country, it was
over go per cent. of the tonnage capac-
ity of competing mills in pay territory.
BY the custom of the trade all contracts
were made to include delivery by the
seller at the home of the buyer.
The court of appeals held, first, that
the contract of association-even if the
prices fixed under it were reasonable
and its only purpose was TO prevent
ruinous competition, as claimed by de-
fendants-was nevertheless void at
common law because in restraint OF
trade and an attempted monopoly; sec
ond, that the prices were not reasona-
BILE and the purpose was an attempted
monopoly; third, that the trade re-
strained by the contract of association
was the negotiation and sale of pipe to
be delivered across state lines from the
state of manufacture to the state of
sale, and further that the contract OF
association was restraint and burden
on interstate commerce and a viola
ton of the federal antitrust act and
should be enjoined.
The Judgment of the circuit court Of
appeals reversed the decree of the cir
cult court and instructed that court tc
enter decree enjoining the six de
PENDANTS from continuing to do bust
ness under the contract of association
or from in any way maintaining the
I same

Hogan is wanted for rifiing mail boxes

session 100 mail box keys secured in as
many different cities in the United
States; also 200 letters which he had
taken from the mails in different cities
in Ohio, principally Columbus. Hogan
realized that he had been caught dead
to rights and talked freely when
brought before Chief of Police Kelly
concerning his operations. He sale
that he had pal, but refused to give
his name or any information regarding
his whereabouts. Hogan explained
how acids were used to remove the
writing from checks and how he raised
or altered them.
Hogan claims that during the pas
year he has secured by his operations
as much as $40, 900, but that he and hi
pal have spent all of it. He wa
stranded at Westerville.

Hood'e pills cure sick headache, rs
Deafness CANNOT Be Uured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
