Is adverse TO the trust and reafirms the
opinion Of tho court of appeals for the
Sixth circuit.
| In reviewing the case Justice Peckham
who handed down the opinion said that 1t
had been brought under the anti-tru act
| OF 1890, and that an Injunction was asked
TO enioin the six corporations engaged in
which composed the combination, flon
continuing to do business under the agree
ment by which they had divided the ter
ritory of the United States among them
selves and by which they had arranged to
fix prices. Under this Agreement the mem
bers OF the combination provided for auc-
tioning OFF the right to make bids for sup
plying with pipe cities not in allotted ter
rltory. the successful bidder TO meet no
opposition from any other members OF ths
trust, or II any other bids were made none
OF them should be higher than that OF the
company to which the award had been
made by the combination. In cases whe. .
bids were asked In territory anotted TO
members of the combination, toe agree
ment was that no bids should be made ex-
cept under The supervision or The COM
pany In charge OF that territory under the
agreement. The charge was that such
combination was violation OF the clause
OF The constitution regulating Interstate
commerce.
The district court in which the case was
frst heard refused to take this view of it
but IL was reversed by the court OF appeals
OF tho Sixth circuit, which held the COM
binatlOQ to be auIagOnistic 10 thu consti-
tuition. ordering the issuance OF the In
Junction prayed for. This latter decision
was affirmed by the action today OF the
supreme court, with modification that
the decision should be construed as apply
ing to Interstate business only.
There We're two questions before ths
court In connection with the case. The
first whether the constitution clause for
the regulation of Interstate commerce ap
piled 10 individuals and to corporations
aud the second. whether, II the clause
should be found TO SO apply TO combine
lions. is regulation OF interstate cons
merce.
The court held that the constitutional
clause did apply to individuals and cor-
by its provisions restrict and restrain coul-
merce between the States. Hence. the
agreement was decided to be void aS APP

junction sustained.

UPSET ON FIRST CRUISE
Thirty three Valencia and
Rosedale Oarsmen
Swamped OFF
Black Tom.

The Valencia n Rosedale o Clubs,
of Hoboken, opened the boating season
yesterday by taking a pleasure cruise to
Bachmann's Point, Stapleton, Staten Is
land. Everything went along smoothly
until she rceurn trip, when off Communi-
paw, an eight-oared barge of the Valencia
Club and a six-oared barge of the Rose
dale Club were upset and the thirty-three
occupants were thrown into the water.
There were some miraculous escapes from
drowning. The Valencia's barge contained
twenty-five people and in the Rosedale's
barge there were eleven members of the
club. Two f~our-oared barges, one from
each club, were about an eighth of a mile
in the rear. The party was making for
the Pavonia Yacht Clubs house, where it
intended stopping before returning home.
When nearing Black Tom the crews en-
countered a very choppy sea. The eight
and six Dared barges filled so rapidly h
the crews decided to put in at the Ma
tionaI Storage Company's docks, which
are located at Black Tom in order to bail
out th~esboats. The Rosedale's boat, which
reached the dock first, was partly sub
merged. Henry Schocke, one of the crew,
jumped up on the pier to fasten the boat.
AS Mr.. Schocke got on the pier a large
wave came along and washed the barge
against the Side OIL Lne WHIT, upSettlHS
it. The ten men who were left in the
boat were thrown into the water. The
men were all pulled safely on the pier.
The Valencia's boat. which was a con-
siderable distance from the pier, was
caught by a heavy sea n swamped. The
twenty-five men were thrown into the
water. Most of the members of the crew
succeeded in swimming to the pier A. F.
Heyat, one of the crew, became exhaust
ed a short distance from the shore and
was rescued by Adam Schmidt. when
going down for the third time. John 7.
Miller, of Valencia, rescued John Ballan-
tine.
The most thrilling rescue was that of
Patrick Hayes, who succeeded in swim
ming within a few feet of the pier, when
he was seized with cramps in both arms.
Henry Schoeke, who was on the pier, saw
Hayes helpless and handed out an oar.
Hayes caught the fiat end between his
teeth and heh on to it, while Schocke
pulled him to the pier, where he was
The bow of the Rosedale's boat was
smashed in. The Valencia's boat was
split in two. The Rosedale's crew hailed
a clam sloop, which was passing by, and
came home with their damaged barge.
The Valencia crew tried to engage a
tug, with no success, and had to leave
its boat at Black Tom, while the members
walked to Communipaw, where they
boarded a trolley car. The unfortunate
oarsmen reached Hoboken about nine
o'clock.
