CAUSES INDIGNATION.

( NEW YORK, April 3-Great Indignation
has been caused among French auto
mobilists of the news just received, says
the Paris correspondent of the Tribune
Orders have been issued prohibiting the
Abassia to Nice automobile race on Ilal-
ian territory.
Yesterday the prefect of Conf, the stage
on the way to Turin, issued decree for
bidding the race on, territory under his
jurisdiction.
French automobilists held an indigna-
tion meeting in Turin and sent telegram
to the premier, requesting him to annual
the projects decree.
Instead of doing soa Signor Zanardeli
went further than the prefeet and forbade
the race on the whole Italian territory.
AS the French authorities had sup
pressed it on French soil nothing is now
left but Austria.
The race is thus definitely killed.

ANTITRUST LAWS HIT
TEXAS COURT MAKES IMPORTANT
RULING AGAINST THEM.

HOUSTON. Tex, April 3.-The decision
entered by the Austin court of appeals
in the case of the Shippers Compress
company, is an important one. Aside
from the fact that the Texas antitrust
laws are declared unconstitutional, the
court also declares tRat:
"One may, if financially able, acquire
much or all Of the property of a given
class, provided the purchase was not
made for the purpose of injuring or ac-
complishing harmful results to the pub
lie; and from bare exercise of this priv
llege it cannot be inferred that the pur-
pose and intention was to create a mo-
nopoly or that a monopoly necessarily re-
suits from such extensive acquisition
