No One Held for Death of Ashland
Indian.

Ashland, Wis, March 15.-No one
will answer for the death of John Den
omie, the Indian who died of blood
poisoning from a bullet wound re-
ceived in the Star saloon.
Samuel DenOmie, a brother of the
dead Indian, stuck to his original story
at the inquest, saying that the Indians
were served with whisky and beer in
the Star saloon and that the trouble
arose over the payment of 40 cents
for the last round of drinks. John
Harmutinski, the bartender, is alleged
to have pointed a revolver at the par
ty of Indians and then Stenik walked
up. took the pistol out of his hands
and shot John Denomie in the right
arm.
Frank Prinz, driver of beer wagon,
testified that he had seen the shooting
and that Harmutinski fired the shot
just after being hit in the head with
an iron cuspidor thrown by John De-
monte and that he, the latter, was
about to follow up the attack. Harmu-
tinski told the same story. He also
said the Indians stirred up a row on
being refused liquor.
Stenik was discharged and no war
rant will be issued for the arrest Of
Harmutinsl1i, as he can show self-de-
Tense.
The jury brought in verdict to the
effect mat Denomie's death was
caused bp septic poisoning from bull
let wound.

Mere Men of Straw.
Such contentious are wide OF the
mark, mere men of straw. All that
the government complains of is the ex'
istence OF a corporation to repress COM
merce ana is rot concerned with the
other points.
Justice Harlan said that i'm this day
there should be no doubt of the com
plete power of congress to control in
terstate COMMERCIAL appropriate
means might be resorted TO for that
purpose, and all prior trust cases are in
support of that contention.
Whether free and unrestrained com.
petition was wise, he said, was an eco
nomic question with which the court
need not concern itself, the question
was that of statutory law.
He asserted that the power of con-
gress over interstate commerce was as
complete as the power of a state over
domestic commerce. Coming 10 the
plea Of the railroads that the antitrust
law should be declared unconstitution-
al, he said that the court could not see
its way TO that end.
"If." he went an, THE Securities
Co.'S contentious are sound, why may
not all the railroads of the United
States enter into a combination ana
by the device OF a holding corporation
control rates throughout the country in
defiance of congress"
The courts had consistently held to
the supremacy of the national laws in
case of conflict between those laws
and the laws OF the states. So long as
congress confined Itself 10 its pre-
scribed functions. he said. there could
be no danger. At any rate the error,
If any, was with congress, and it was
for congress to supply the remedy. ana
not for the courts.
Justice Harlan also discussed the
predictions Of financial disaster from
but enforcement oft he antitrust law,
but discouraged them, saying they
were usual under such circumstances
and need not be realized.
In our judgment the evidence fully
sustains the material allegations of the
bin and shows a violation of the act or
congress in so far as il declares illegal
every combination or conspiracy in re-
straint of commerce among the several
states and with foreign nations and for
bids attempts to mOnopolize such COM
merce."
Judge Harlan stated that the de-
PENDANT had no grounds for complaint
against the circuit court, which had
rendered a broad minded decision In
concluding he said:
The judgment Of this court is that
the decree of the circuit court be ana
hereby is affirmed, with liberty TO the
circuit court to proceed in the execu-
ton of the decree as the circumstance

also had power TO enact the statute.
Replying to the points made for the
Securities company, Justice HarlaL
said that the contention that the law
is an interference with the rights oil
the individual states by which the
companies are incorporated, was not
well founded. In such cases, he said
the authority of congress is supreme.
He also declared it to be unnecessary
to determine the right of owners OF
railroad stock 10 sell the property, nor
was it true that the rights OF the Secu-
rites company 10 own and mold rail-
road stock is the only question In
