Washington, May 10-The attorney
general has made public the following
statement:
"The government has filed in the
circuit court of the United States for
the district of Indiana petition for
an Injunction against certain associa-
tions. corporations and individuals
comprising what Is commonly known
as the drug trust The parties defend
ant specifically named in the bill have
voluntarily combined together to con-
troll the prices at which proprietary
medicines and drugs shall be sold to

gists In violation of the Sherman anti
trust law.
1.-THE parties to the combination in
clude the Proprietary Association of
America. the National Wholesale Drug

The bill charges In substance "that
these associations. their officers, dele.
gates and members are all engaged in
q common undertaking, to wit: the
business of manufacturing, buying and
selling patent medicines and drugs and
proprietary articles throughout the
United States. That these associa-
ttons and the members thereof have

such articles shall be sold to the con

rules and regulations to enforce such
ON unlawful agreement by restrictin;.

and observe the rules and regulations
thus arbitrarily prescribed by the re

National Association OF Retail Drug

LAUGH AT BURGESS SPEECH.
0fftciaIs Amused by Attention Given
His Remarks by German Papers.

Administration officials are iaughins
over the fact that the German papers are
receiving as official statements, the re
marks MADE last Saturday by Prof
Burgess. Of Columbia University. whJ
has just been installed as the first incum-
bent OF the Theodore Roosevelt chair OF
American history at the University OF
Berlin.
Prof Burgess told his German audience
that the Monroe doctrine and high tariR
Ideas are obsolete, and assured them
American interests are being promoted
by the extensive German immigration 10
South America.
Because the professor prefaced his re-
marks with the statement that prior 10
sailing TO Germany he had been address
ed by the President as an ambassador
OF peace. friendship and civilization" his
Utterances have been taken by the Ger
man press TO be inspired by Mr.. Roose-
welt, and they are commenting on them
and discussing them with all seriousness.
II Is pointed out In administration cir
cles that Prof. Burgess has no official
position, with relation to this government,
and any ideas he chooses to express are
solely his own. The officials regret that
he German misconception Of his status
should lead them to view the utterances
in ar erroneous light. but do not regard
the matter OF sufficient Importance TO
warrant any statement Being issued by
the government.
