ST. LOUIS. April PA special to
the Post Dispatch from Little Rock,
Ark, says: Judge Joseph Martin of the
Circuit Court to-day rendered a decis-
ion upholding the constitutionality of
the anti trust law, but limits it's force
to offenses committed in the State of

The Attorney General construed the
law to cover rate-making by insurance
companies in Arkansas and elsewhere,
thus excluding the old line companies
from the State.
Judge Martin holds that the State has
a right to exclude foreign corporations
and prohibit them from doing business
in the State, but cannot punish corr
porations or individuals for violations
of the Penal Code committed in other
