DIR. Petrovitch of the servian legation
described the new king as student OF az
fairs of state, as being intensely animated
by Servia's political destines, and as an
admirer of Russia.
The newly proclaimed king, DR.. Petro-
witch added, is sending his son to st.
Petersburg, where he will be educated at
the expense of the imperial court OF
Russia.
Politicians had frequently sought to in
duce the new king to attempt to take the
throne Of Servia, but he always replied
that he would not permit the dynastie
contest to provoke a civil CONFUSION and
he preferred to await the result Of the
popular WEAKNESS resulting from the ole
regime.

ing an attempt to get q new trial. In that
case they spent hours In attempting to
show that the state alone could enforce
such a regulation. They now ask Judge
Lochren to hold the contrary.
1. Mr.. Mum then cited the language Of the
court in the Pearsail case and the Louis
Vile & Nashville case on the authority
of the state to regulate commerce by the
exercise OF Its police power, where 1t re-
lates to the instrumentalities of commerce.
The four Judges in the st. Louis case de-
cided that the combination referred to
had to do not only with the instrument
talities of commerce but also with inter-
state commerce itself, which came under
the control Of congress. States, they said,
had granted the right to construct rail-
roads. and they still had power over them.
Minnesota Corporation In Effect.
The Northern Pacific, said Mr.. Mum,
was as much a Minnesota corporation as
tho Incorporated here. It was subject to
obedience to them. Counsel had claimed
that as Minnesota laws had no extra ter
rltorial force. they could not apply to the
Northern Securities company. They said
the state was poWerless to prevent vio-
lation of Its laws in such case. One
state cannot give a corporation power to
violate the laws Of. another state No
runs outside Of state. that state does
not have q right to prohibit its con-
solidation. In the Pearsall case the
court prohibited consolidation, by own
ership,under the Minnesota laws A com
mon voting trust has been held to come
under the same prohibition; therefore, 1t
is, unlawful to pool stock for voting pur-
poses. as defendants have done in this
case.
Much was said by counsel for the de-
tense about the penal character Of the
state laws, and. some extreme instances
We're cited Of the possibilities of their en-
forcement. The decision In the Joint
traffic association case enumerated a
number Of transactions prohibited by the
Sherman law, many Of them apparently
innocent. In this case there was a pre-
concerted plan to restrict competition

Congress has power to regulate inter.
state commerce. It has been left free
| except as disturbed by congress. In this
case, the state does not seek Ito regulate
or distrub interstate commerce, but t

London, June 11.-In Servia, as in most
other European states, the political radi-

trouble. In the lower house Of the serv-

calls became strong enough to balk some
of King Alexander's pet measures and

came to such a. pass early in April that
the king determined to do little radical
business himself. He therefore suddenly
