AGAINST THE MERGER
Tribunal Holds Defend

Washington, March 1.-THE SUI
preme court today handed down a de
cision in the Northern Securities case
in favor of the government.
The opinion was read by Justice
Harlan. 1t affirms the opinion of the
United States circuit court for the
district of Minnesota. The effect is
to sustain the contention that the
Sherman antitrust law applies to
railroad combinations of the charac-
ter in question.
Consolidation Proved.
Harlan said that in the merger of
the two roads stockholders disappear
ed and reaPpeared in the securities
company. the two thus becoming
practically consolidated in the holding
company. the principal object being
to prevent competition.
NO scheme or device could more
certainly and more effectively come
within the prohibition of the anti
trust law. and il is within the mean

i'm which The finding was summed
up.
Dissenting Opinion.
The decision was concurrcd in by
Justices Brown. Brewer. McKenna
and Day. while Justices Fuller. White,
Pcckham and Holmes dissented. JUS
tee Holmes read the dissenting opin-
ion. He construed the antitrust law
a. 4 criminal statute and declared
there was nothing in il to Indicate it
had been enacted merely for the con
troll Of large concerns, as is generally
cuntcudcd.
Indeed. the law had not been under
stood as applying to railroads until

The act, he contended. applies only
20 contracts and combinations in re-
straink of trade and makes no refer

Murders in Three
Counties.

Altoona, Pa. March i4.-In the de-
lirious rawlings of an Italian boy, who
had been stabbed and left for dead,
detectives have clews to the most dam
gerous Italian society they yet have
known. Thirty murders are ascribed
to the members Of this band. all of
them having been committed in this
and the two adjoining counties. Twen-
ty-eight Italians in the railroad camp
at Lilly were cremated four months
ago. The building in which they died
was fiimsy one, with numerous doors
and windows. but not one of the men
escaped. On several of the charrcd
bodies stilletto wounds were found.

ed this wholesale crime. the members

May Not Be "Good" Mormon.

Judge lilies corrected Van Cott's
statement by saying certain princi-
pies" and then said that with the
qualification he had made he regarded
Rawlins as q Mormon Continuing, he
said that while it may be said that
Rawlins is not a good Mormon" new
ertheless he was n Mormon. He de-
clared that Rawlins once believed in
the good faith of the Mormon church,
but that he did not now believe in it.
Declares Himself Posted
Van Cott attempted to take Hiles TO
task for his statement that Rawlins
was Il Mormon, and asked if. as a
matter of fact. his ertire Testimony
was not just as reliable as his state
ment in regard to Rawlins. The wit
ness stood his ground in regard TO
Rawlins, and said that he knew what
he was talking about, and that with
the qualifications he had made RawliuS
was a Mormon. He added with en-
phasis that there were no qualifca-
tions in regard to the remainder of his
testimony.

Protect Zach Other.

Ten of these murders have been
committed among the Italian laborers
working on railroad improvements.
Arrests have been made. but in every
case the prisoners furnished strong
alibis, and although the circumstan-
tial evidence in each case was almost
conclusive, no convictions could be
had. In every case those victims of
the society who died by the stilletto
bore the dread mark of the banda
cross, deep carved on the forehead.
Recently detectives were called TO
investigate the stabbing Of two ital-
ians near this city. The victims were
brothers, and the elder was killed, but
the younger, boy, is recovering.

The first brush between the union
and non-union forces of the assembly
came this morning at the close of the
report on that matter by the Commit
tee on Fraternity and Union. Since
the printing of the original report a
supplemental report has been prepared
stating the reasons why the Commit

the union of the churches.

side Of the question.
For time the assembly, heretofore
dignified, took on the color of a politi-
cal meeting where partisans are in
strong opposition. A number of OBJ
Jections were filed by the anti-union-
lists to the hearing of the report, the
latter element being managed by Judge
j. H. Russell of Columbia, Tenn. 1t
was finally ruled, however, by Judge
Settle, the moderator, that the sup
Elementary report be heard, and it was
read.
Briefly, this report simply refers to
the main report in an analytical man
ner, showing historically the move
ment for the union of the churches,
declaring that the conditions tending
in other lines toward combination
should apply to religious bodies, and
placing particular stress upon the
claim that Presbyterianism and Prot
estantism are on,trial before the world
The supplementary report, as we'll as
the main report, were received and
spread upon the minutes. 1t was
agreed that the discussion of the union
proposition be taken up at 10 O'Clock
Tuesday morning.
The remainder of the day was almost
entirely devoted to routine reports,
among which were the following: Stat
ed clerk and treasury, miscellaneous
papers filed with the stated clerk dur
ing the year, those on educational So
ciety, missions and ichurch education,
publication, ministerial relief, assembly
trustees, trustees of the Theological
Seminary of Columbian University,
board of visitors for same, and the
Sunday-school and young peoples
work These were made by whatever
members of the boards happened to
be present. Generally they showed all
departments of the church touched by
them as being in a gratifying condi-
ton.
Adjournment of the assembly was
taken this evening until o'clock Mon
day morning. The committees were
named by the moderator to-day.
Tomorrow the body will go on a
special train to Waxahatchie to visit
Trinity University, one of the lead
ing scholastic institutions of the
church.
