UNDER CHARGE OF THEFT.
Arrest of Harry w. West, Alleged
Clairvoyant and Palmist.


A complaint alleging the theft of 81 was
lodged against Harry vs. West at police
headquarters following his arrest by De-
tective Hewlett There was no one at head
quarters at the time of his arrest to be-
come responsible for his appearance, and he
was sent to the first precinct station. The
defendant Is known as Prof. West, who adj
vertises himself as clairvoyant and palm
list and claims to be able to tell of the past,
present and future.
The clairvoyant was found at his Office,
705 Sth street northwest, by Detective
Hewlett and was told warrant had been
issued for his arrest. The complaint against
him was the result of certain business
transactions he had with Mrs. Thornburg
one of the police matrons She called on
him and pretenced she was in search of
employment Three visits were paid to
his office, and sac was given to understand
she would surely be successful
Mrs. Thornburg, Ii is stated, was given
the assurance that the powder given her
would exert wonderful influence over the
person who had the appointing power IL
she would wear it properly While the pro-
pessor advertises 81 sittings for 80 cents, it
is alleged that he usually advises his callers
to return and pay the 81 fee, with the I'M
Outstanding that $50 is TO be paid for a full
course. The charge of theft involves an
alleged unlawful imposition upon his Gus
toner. who is named in the complaint.
Maj Sylvester has number of letters
of complaint respecting Prof. West and
others. and one letter in the defense Of
mediums. 1t is not the intention of Maj.
Sylvester to Interfere with the work of
spiritnalistic mediums unless there is some
allegation OF fraud in connection with their
work.

parable in Importance and urgency with
the duty of providing a prompt remedy
for the mischief done by this act passed
fourteen years ago. We have restraints
of trade upon every hand. Copyrights
and patents restrain trade, trade is re-
strained by the attempt of the manufac-
turer to get for his product more than it
has cost him. All these things are lawful
But 1t is not lawful to attempt to create
an interstate transportation system doing
business on n large scale and sheltered
from those sources of attack and of
weakness which have brought innumer-
able railroads to bankruptcy and have
caused a far more serious economic loss
to the nation than it ever has suffered or
ever will suffer from such technical re-
straints of trade as were involved in the
building up of the great system in the
northwest.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Mrs. Margaret Doyle Suffocated by
Illuminating Gas.

Mrs. Margaret Doyle, fifty-two years old,
was found dead in bed in her room this
morning in the house of Policeman Oriani,
121 ID street northwest. Her death was
caused by inhaling gas that had escaped
from stove connection in her room. About
O'Clock this morning the policeman de-
tected the odor of gas and went to the
room. When he discovered Mrs. Doyle's
condition he summoned the Emergency
Hospital ambulance, and the surgeon who
responded said the woman had been dead
three hours. 1t was apparent her death
was due to an accident. and the coroner
gave certificate accordingly.

Where the Decision Hurts.

Never the supreme tribunal more
nearly divided in case of momentous
Importance. Nevertheless, it is the judg-
ment, not the opinion, that counts; and.
by whatever reasoning the judgment may
have been reached, the Supreme Court by
a majority of one, SuStainS the circuit
court in holding that not merely an I'M
reasonable restraint of interstate COM
merce, but even the possession of the
power to restrain commerce and to mo-
nopoliZe trade, constitutes in itself vio-
lation Of the federal antitrust law. With
the law as 1t stands, under this decision
it becomes Mr.. Roosevelt's duty to pro-
coed impartially against every corpora
ton or combination tending to restrain
interstate commerce or to monopoliZe
trade, no matter how reasonably. or pos
sessing the potentialities of restraint or
Philander c. Knox be next directed to pro-
coed? Will it be the Standard Oil Com
pany?

Other Trusts Must Go.
FROM The Philadelphia Record.

1t is now ascertained law that all combi-
nations in restraint of trade, whether rea-
sonable or unreasonable are alike under
the ban of the statute. As long as the
statute shall remain unrepealed the cor
porations engaged in interstate trade must
conform to its requirements. Other combi-
nations that stand in like relation to the
antitrust act will abandon the community
or interest evasion and substitute some
other means of comba ting destructive COM
petition. The cioseness of decision and the
contrary reasoning upon which dissenting
opinions are based will suggest both
amendatory legislation and new means of
evading the sharp letter of the law without
mourning its penalties.

Politically. the effect of the decision can
hardly be exaggerated 1t will greatly
strengthen President Roosevelt as a candi-
date. People will love him for the enemies
he has made. Mr.. Cleveland lost popular
ity among the democratic masses by not
enforcing this law. Mr.. Roosevelt will gain

that the republican party is owned by the
trusts 1t cannot now be said that Mr..

they are brighter today, and. barring some

Effect on Controlling Roads.


The particular effect of this decision upon
the railways directly involved is not of
first Importance. The Nothern Securities
is merely a holding company: If it be dis
solved, the securities revert to the same
owners, and the same interests remain in
control of the constituent companies A
more significant question is that of the pos
sible application of the antitrust act. as
thus interpreted, to railway combina tons
under other forms. where one or more
companies have acquired the actual owner
ship of competing lines engaged in inter-
state commerce. Each case, no doubt, will
raise a distinct issue of statutory construc-
ton. but uncertainty is thrown around so
many existing corporate arrangements that
the Importance of the present decision can
not be exaggerated 1t has. however, been
so generally anticipated that those con-
cerned ought by this time to have found
a way to accommodate themselves to it.

THE country Is to be congratulated that
the governments protest against the nrst
appearance of the holding company as
device to control competing interstate
railroads has not been in vain. One OF the
results of the government action has
been to accelerate the return to more So
Der methods in commercial ana1rs;
'fI think the danger of uncontrolled per-
sonal power in railway management has
been averted. ...-..,f.
'As to the bearing of the decision upon
other railroads, 7 have only to say: The
government has never claimed that the
law Is any broader than it's language plain
ly indicates, If between other railroads
there exist contracts, combinations and
conspiracies sby which interstate commerce
is restrained. then they violate the law
During THE trial and argument the gov

dispatch from st. Paul last night says
The governments victory in the Northern

There still remains on the docket an appeal
of the state of Minnesota from the decision
of Judge Lochren. Attorney General w. d.
Douglas is on the way home from Wash
ington, and could not be seen today but at
torneys familiar with the litigation say
that the case will have TO be decided with
out reference to the federal decision.
1t may be thrown out for lack of juris-
diction and so far as the result to the
merger is concerned, the decision given to-
day covers the same ground.
There arc different principles of law in
yolved, however, and attorneys for the state
hope they can secure a decision of their

determine whether the federal courts can
be appealed to In order to prevent outside
