10 ANTITRUST DECISION.
An opinion Of Great importance by tile
United States Supreme Court.


Washington, December 5,-In the
United States Supreme Court Monday
the Adystone pipe case was decided.
This case involved the constitutional
ity of the combination Of pipe manu-
facturers to manufacture pipe which
IL was charged was II trust. The de-
'cision was handed down by Justice
IPeckham and was adverse to the com.
bination. II was, therefore, In opposi-
Ition TO the trust.
The opinion Of the Court OF Appeals
for the Sixth circuit was affirmed.
In reviewing the ease Justice Peck
ham said thnt IL had been brought
under the antitrust act of 1890 and
that M In. Junction was asked TO en-
join the corporations engaged in the
manufacture Of water and gus pipe,
which composed the combination, from
continuing business under the agree
ment by which they had divided the
territory of the United States among
themselves and by which they had
arranged to fix prices,
Under this agreement the members
Of the combination provided for auc-
tioning Off the : ght to make bids for
supplying with pipe cities not in al
lotted territory, the successful bidder
to meet no opposition from other
members of the trust, or IL other bids
were made none OF them should be
higher than that of the company to
which the award had been made by
the commission. In cases in which
bids were asked in territory allotted to
members of the territory the agree
ment was that no bids should be
made except under the supervision Of
the company in charge Of that terri.
tory under the agreement.
The charge was that such q COM
mission was n violation OF the clause
of the constitution regulating inter
state commerce. The District Court In
which the case was first heard refused
to take this view of It, but IL was re-
versed by the court Of appeals Of the
Sixth circuit, which held the combi-
nation to be antagonistic to the con-
stitution.
This latter decision was affirmed by
the action today of the Supreme
court with a modification that the de-
ciHion should be construed as applying
To Interstate business only.

Van AIen,s OGer Refmsed.

London, December 3D.. Van Allen,
the American millionaire, has had an
unsuccessful experience, IL seems, In
attempting to render aid to the Brit
ish wounded in South Africa. He first
offered the war office an ambulance
fully equipped, 10 the extent of $780,
600, to be Differed and manned by the
English army, on condition that he be
allowed to accompany 1t to the front,
The war office replied, asking in what
capacity he could go, and this pro-
duced an offer from Mr.. Van Allen to
go in any capacity however modest.
The war office was compelled to de-
cline.
Mr.. Van Allen then offered the am
bulance to the Maine hospital ship
committee. The latter, finding the
ambulance adapted to land uses, only,
consulted with the war office and
eventually informed Mr.. Van Allen that
the committee would DO glad to take
him to South Africa as guest, but
that, on arriving at Cape Town 1t
would be necessary to turn him and
the ambulance over to the army, in
which event the two would become q
hospital section, possibly having to
remain in Cape Town.
Mr.. Van Allen refused to become
mere hospital section and Withdrew
his offer. The main object, It is be-
lieved, was to get to the front, and IL
is thought he had no special desire
to do hospital work. except on that
condition. An unconfirmed report Is
in circulation that he will make sim
liar offer to the Beers,
