SEVERE BLOW
To COMBINES
SUPREME COURT DECISION IN
STANDARD OIL cAsE-JUDe-
mENT AS TO HOLT
FINAL.
Great Legal Struggle viii Doubtless
Come When Attorney General Gates
Begins Proceedings to Gust Stand
ard Oil Company From Tennessee.

The opinion handed down by the
Supreme Court on Saturday in the
case of the Standard Oil Company and
C. D. Holt against the State, holding
the antitrust law of Tennessee con
stitutional, is a severe blow to com
bines and trusts, SO far as this State
is concerned. 1t Is understood that no
effort will be made to further con-
test the judgment affirming the fine
of $4,000 assessed against Holt for his
part in the deal to get Gallatin mer-
chant to countermand an order for
oil with the Evansville Oil Company.
One of the contentious urged in the
case was that the law applied to in
terstate commerce, but it is doubtful
il there is a Federal question which
would warrant the United States
courts in assuming jurisdiction In the
case of Holt, says the Nashville Amer
lean
Attorney General Charles I. Gates,
of Knoxville, announces his intention
of taking UP at once the consideration
of steps against corporations violating
the statute, and it would be inferred
that the Standard Oil Company will be
the first foreign company against
which proceedings may be entered.
One style of procedure which could
be followed by the Attorney General
would be to file bill in some Chan
Gerry Court. setting out the facts
against the company, and asking that
it be ousted from the State.
The Supreme Court reversed the Cir
cult Court of Sumner County in assess
ing fine of $4,000 against the Stan
dard Oil Company, the provision of
the statute as to fines not applying to
The court, however, |
IN handing down the opinion made ref /
erence to the provisions for ousting
offending corporations. The real legal
struggle will doubtless come when AT I
.orney General Gates begins proceed I
ngs, and the Standard OIL Company
would, in all probability, not surrender
is rights to do business in Tennessee
Until the case had been taken through I
he United States Supreme Court
One of the most important provis-
ons of the statute is the drastic pun
shment fixed for the officers and
gents of corporations having part in
ny arrangements to destroy competi-
ion and control the price of any com
lodity. A maximum fine of $4,000
lay be imposed with a prison SEN
ence annexed, in the discretion Of
le court. The case against Holt was
lch a clear one that the Attorney Gen
raj stated that Holt should consider
Imself very fortunate in escaping pun
hment by Imprisonment.

DOVES THICK But
HARD TO GET NEAR
TOO MUCH WATER GIVES BIRDS
GOOD CHANCE
Deer Seen In Vicinity Of Verdugo
Canyon and One Is Brought
Down by Young
Nimrod

Southern California is suffering from an
overabundance of water. At least this is
the way hunters who have been out after
the festive dove look at it, and they all
declare that too many water holes and
running streams are responsible for the
scarcity of limit bags.
All over this section of the country the
canyons which are usually dry after the
end of May are filled with water This
gives the birds plenty of chance to quench
their thirst without picking out any one
watering place, and the result is that
hunters find it much harder to locate their
game.
But the birds are there all right, and
what little shooting there is comes on
most open order. AS yet the birds are
comparatively tame, and do not mind the
guns as much as they will later, and the
field shooting is easy all around.
The deer hunters are also bowling about
the superabundance of water in the noun
tains where the big fellows are wont to
congregate. With plenty of water holes
to visit the deer manage to evade their
enemies with more than usual success,
and the number of bucks killed this sea-
son will undoubtedly fall below that of
other years.
Reports from the scene of activity fail to
tell of any record kills, and about the only
country hereabouts where a deer has been
toppled over is up around La Canada. a
young fellow named Hall landed a buck
yesterday in the hills back of the Griffin
ranch, getting it in comparatively open
country.
Henry Stockbridge of the Burbank also
sighted small buck in that vicinity yes
terday but could not get close enough to
try a shot, The animal was in thick
brush, and as Stockbridge's time was lin
tied he could not go after it.
George Cline and Dick Carney took a
run out to the Carney ranch Tuesday aft
ernoon to take try at the doves and met
with Indifferent success. Cline's bag was
but six birds, while Garvey Jared but lit
tie better. They say that the birds stay in
the close country more and don't have to
come out to the water holes as they did
in other seasons.
Birds are abundant in the country up |
above Saugus, but the distance away from
town keeps the local nmrods from going |
after them. The little valleys and flats |
which open out of the Santa Monica |
mountains are also we'll stocked, and they |
are visited much more than the Saugus
fields.
Although the woods are full of game
wardens no arrests have been recorded for
violations of the new license law. The
fact that Count Clerk Keyes ran out of
tags some time ago does not help matters
much, but the hunters seem willing to
pack around their receipt rather than take
chances on being pinched.

Juror Gish gave testimony showing that
efforts had been made to reach him
while the case was on trial. The grand

opening round if he had cared to do So
The blow that put Fitzsimmons out was
a light right to the jaw.
The old man fell to the floor, and as he
made no attempt to rise the referee
awarded Johnson the bout. The kissing
which usually follows knockout OF this
character was absent, the spectators evil

pugilistic star.
: Referee. Keenan, refused to act in the
ring because he heard that Fitzsimmons
had a badly sprained arm. The manager
of the club then entered the ring and
watched the uneven match.
In the opening round Johnson tapped
Fitzsimmons when and where he chose,
but the latter was unable to even land his
famous counters.

JONATHAN CLUB
MAY HAVE RIVAL
ovERLANDERS NOW SEEKING
NEW QUARTERS
Chamber Of Commerce Building, Such
Only in Name, Now Approach
ing Completion, May Be
Used
Pasadena Agency.
n North Raymond Avenue,
! Phones: Sunset 1907, Home 2l24.

: PASADENA, July 17.-There is now a
movement on foot to make the top floor of
the new Chamber of Commerce building
headquarters for the Overland cluo' the
fashionable organization of South Eucnd
avenue At a meeting of the directors OF
the club tonight a proposition from the
owners of the building will be submitted
and considered
Pasadena club members have in mind
the luxurious quarters of the millionaire
Jonathan club of Los Angeles on the top
floor of the Huntington building, and
think they have something as nice here
Many new members have been added TO
the Overlanders in the past few months
and the need of more room than the pres
ent quarters afford is now apparent.
In the new building there would be
ample room and a magnificent outlook
over the San Gabriel valley and the noun
tains.
Pasadena's tallest building, the Chamber
of Commerce on East Colorado street, is
approaching completion. One of the four
store rooms on the ground floor is already
occupied by the Racket store Plasterlng
in the office rooms on the upper floors is
nearly done.
This will be much the largest and most
expensive office building in PASADENA. 1t
is built on lot 117x125 feet in size, 'front.'
ing Colorado street and Broadway, at the
northwest corner of these two central
streets.
1t is a steel frame and pressed buff brick
structure, six stories high, with four store
rooms and 200 offices, and is being erected
at a cost of 100000.
While this is known as the Chamber of
Commerce building and is being erected
by corporation chartered as the Cham
Der of Commerce company 1t is a private
enterprise, having nothing whatever to dc
with a local chamber of commerce. The
board of trade and the Merchants asso-
ciation which represent what chamber
of commerce would stand for in Pasadena,
have leased and nicely fitted up commo-
dous quarters at 43 West Colorado street,
and will not even occupy the new build
ing, at least in the near future.
1t was expected when the building enter
prise was begun that the board of trade
and Merchants association would occupy
quarters in the new structure perhaps one
whole floor, but the negotiations to this
end failed.
So now there will exist what will appear
an odd situation to strangers, a chamber
of commerce building with no public COM
mercial body having anything to do with
it. One of the upper floors of this building
would be a magnificent location for a
commercial and advertising exhibit for the
city, and 1t is possible that at some future
time such an exhibit will be provided for.
At present, with the very complete ex-
hibit of the Los Angeles chamber of COM
meIce so near at hand, 1t was felt that
the local organizations for advertising the
city would not be justified in installing an
expensive exhibit in Pasadena.
