The large store room on Upper Main
street, recently vacated by the Stewart

scene yesterday afternoon. The doors
were thrown open at 2 o'clock and did
not close until nearly 6 o'clock. Two
tables extending parallel from a few
feet from the back door for so feet
were loaded with eatables-roast tur-
key. boiled ham. bread and butter. po-

of the room were two big ranges on
which the food was cooked and which
kept the coffee hot. Here a corps OF
army men and women washed dishes
and dished up the dinner. Half a dozen
men and women were kept busy walt
ing on the diners. No one had to walt
more than two or three minutes. ~
Systematically was the work carried
on. Those in charge say that they be-

The intellectual and material develop
ment OF Japan within the past three
decades Is familiar TO all. Information
al and political questions have by no
mean absorbed the attention Of her
people. There has been progress In
many other directions-an eager search
for knowledge. with an Earnest desire
to utilize the agencies of modern civili-
zation. The result Is gratifying: al
though no true friend Of Japan viii

With all the changes which this period
of transition has produced, II is oIly

hat there was less cele brating than has

owing to the fact that Christmas vas

Recent Construction of the Federal Anti
Trust Act.

David Wilcox in the December Forum.
In brief. the result OF recent cases Is
that, so far as merchandise Is con-
cerned, the statute affects nothing ex-
cept the right to transport IL from one
state to another. and it's sale in the lat
ter state. n that IL protects that right
only against contracts or combinations.
which. upon a reasonable Interpretation
of the act. are In direct restrain there
of. Producers may combine to limit
production or control prices: those fur
nishing services or facilities in the
transaction OF interstate as
above described may combine to fix the
price or extent OF those facilities or
services; the consignees may combine
to control the price of their services or
the number of persons engaged in the
bus'ness. but none of these combina-
lions will be within the statute.
These results have naturally followed
from the rule hat the national govern
ment has no powers save those express
ed i'm the constitutions for the express
power graned to congress extends to
the regulation only OF Interstate or for
eign commerce. But they max IL clear
that the statute can have little appli-
cation save to those who are engaged

Interstate consists of but lit
