WARRINGTON, March 14.-(Bulle-
tin.)-Ths supreme court this morn
ing rendered = decision UNFOLDING the
contention Of the government against
the Northern Securities merger Of
the Northern Pacific ana Great North
ern. The merger IL declared to be a
violation Of the antitrust act. Justice
Read Harlan read the opinion OF the
court.
This II the elimination Of long
course Of court procedure which has
been fought tooth and nail by the Hill
interests.
It has taken couple OF years to
bring about the defeat Of the meas
ure, which was first undertaken by
Governor Van SAINT Of Minnesota and
carried out by Governor Rogers Of
Washington.
The cast was finally taken before
the United States circuit court at st.
Louis. where the states attorney of
Minnesota appeared for the govern
ment At that time the circuit court
decided against the merger and de-
clared 1t illegal. 1t was then passed
up to the supreme court.
IN our opinion" said Justice Har-
Ian in rendering the decision, the
evidence fully sustains the charge
that the defendants are monopolizing
or attempting to monopolize trade be-
tween states. The Northern Securities
company was organized as holding
corporation or custodian of more than
nine-tenths of the stock of the North
ern Pacific railway company and
three-uuarters of the stock of the
Great Northern railroad. Both roads
are held as If by one ownership, or
holding company, and are dominated
for the exclusive benefit of the stock
holders. 1t became one powerful cor
rsora ton, so that competition between
the two constituent companies might
cease and the profits were to be dis
tributed as on one basis of stock held
by the Northern Securities company
"'rhe combination is one in the
shape of trust No scheme or de-
vice could more thoroughly be a com
bination in the form of trust in the
restr2,E of trade"
rtuing, Justice Harlan review
ed the contentious OF the defendants

opinions involving the trust question
Saying that all contracts in restraint
of trade reasonable or unreasonable
hre prohibited by the Sherman anti
trust law. and that congress is en-
powered to lay down such regulations

NOT FOR
!. / COVERLY

According to councilmen and city
officials who have been in CONVERSE
ton with Acting Chief Coverly there
is 20 probability that the captain will
accept the position of chief of police.
Captain Coverly is reticent on the
subject and refuses to make a state
ment one way or the other
II is claimed by ciey officials that
there would be a hitch If the proposed
ordinance. providing for an officer to
take his old grade, passed the council.
Under q new administration II the
chief was relegated to his old position
every officer who had received promo
ton would be compelled to step back
a notch, thus causing jealousy in the
department. The last officer appoint
ed might be compelled to retire from
the force.
Boyd Tired Of Politics.
Mayor Boyd said this afternoon:
Il am determined to keep the office
of chief of police out of politics. and
If Captain Coverly refuses the posi-
ton ! will appoint some one from the
department or some one who has been
on the department. The emergency
still exists. however, in the absence
of chief. and Captain Coverly win
be retained as acting chief for some
time TO come. l am thoroughly tired
of so much politics in the city adj
ministration. and intend to set a
precedent that coming officials will
have to follow. l will appoint the
best man for the position.
IT is thought that If Captain Cow
erly accepts the position of chief of
police at all II will be only on an
amendment to the city charter. 1t
IL said the captain considers the ordi-
nance introduced at the last council
not sufficient to cover the ground of
his appointment.

MILK CRUSADE
BEGINS TO-DAY
New Dairy Ordinance Goes
Into Effect and Dairymen
Have Received Notice
TO START INSPECTION
Health Officers Will Spend
Friday and Saturday View
ing Sanitary Conditions

The new dairy law goes into effect
to- day, but dairy owners will be given
a. days grace before Health officer D.
r. Ragan and Dr. w. c. Hassler of the
Board of Health tomorrow and Satur-
day visit all the dairies in and around
San Francisco. The purpose of the in
spection is to determine whether the
ordinance in relation to the improving
of the condition of the dairies has been
followed. About a month ago Deputy
Health officer Louis Levy took the pre-
caution to send to each of the dairies
a copy Of the new ordinance so that
any failure to observe it may not be
laid at the door Of the Health Board.
AS a result of the crusade of the
Health Board against the unsatisfac-
tory condition of the dairies, over
$4,000 has been spent in the last two
Months to better their sanitary condi-
ton. 1t is believed that the result Of
the inspection will be that fifteen
dairies in and around the city will be
compelled to suspend operation owing
to their impossibility to meet the de-
mands Of the Health Board.
On the blackboard in the main office
of the Health Board there are written
lists of the condemned dairies and
clean dairies. The public is welcome at
any time to refer to these In case they
are in doubt as to the standing of the
milk company they patronize.
