ty Treasurer.

the books of the county UP to date and
established a set of new books; that in
future would always show the condition
of the county's affairs. The committee
stated that the books mad been found in
"a chaotic state" They also recommend
ed that the office of county treasurer be

AGAINST THE PIPE TRUST.
United States Court Says the COmbi-
nation Is Illegal.

nation Is Illegal.
Washington Dec. AIN the United
States Court to-day the Addystone pipe
case was decided.
This case involved the existence of the
combination of pipe manufacturers to
manufacture pipe, which, it was charged,
was a trust. The decision was handed
down by Justice Peckham and was ad-
verse to the combination. 1t was, there
fore, in opposition to the trust.
The opinion of the Court of Appeals for
the Sixth circuit was affirmed.
There were two questions before the
court in connection with the case. The
first was whether the constitutional clause
for the regulation of interstate commerce
applied to individuals and corporation
and the second whether, if the clause
should be found to so apply the combina-
ton IS a regulation of interstate COM
merce.
The court held that the constitutional
clause did apply to individuals and cor
porations, and that the agreement does by
its provisions restrict and restrain COM
nerce between the states. Hence the
agreement was decided 60 be void as APP
plying to interstate business, and the i'll
junction sustained.
The six companies composing the com
blEation affected We're the Addystone PIPE
and Steel Company of Cincinnati, Dennis
Long & Co., of Louisville, the Howard
Ha1rison Iron Company, Bessemer, Ala. !;
the Admission Pipe and Foundry Compa-
NY Admission, Ala; the South Pittsburg
Pipe Works, OF South Pittsburg, Tenn,
and the Chattanooga Foundry and Pipe
Works of Chattanooga. Tenn. Their
agreement provided that there should Ds
no competition between the companies in
thirty SIX states. which were mentioned.
