Big SUGAR suit OFF KILLS DOGS SLAYEE
Sherman Antitrust Measure
Does Not Apply.
COURT DIsMIssEs THE CASE
United states Circuit Court Refuses 20
Try $30.OO0, 900 Damage Claim Against
Sugar Trust for Closing PennsyIva-
MIA Reanery-Act Not Good Basis.
No Restraint OF Interstate Commerce.

New York, March so.-The S2Q,0QQ.9e9 suit
brought by the PENNSYLVANIA Sugar Re
ming Company against the American
Sugar Refining Company was dismissed
this afternoon hy Judge Holt, OF the
United States Circuit Court.
Nearly a fortnight ago Henry W Taft.
counsel for the defendant moved to dis
miss the complaint Ex-Gov. Frank s.
Black argued in opposition TO the mo-
tion. and John G Johnson. OF PhiladeI-
phia. in favor Of H.
The suit was Instituted 20 recover see
10000 as three-foId damages sustained
through the closing Of the com
plainants refinery in Philadelphia. which
act, the complainant declared. was in yio-
lation OF section OF the Sherman anti
trust law. The defendant contended that
there could have been no restraint OF
trade. as the plaintiffs refinery had never
been in operation.
In dismissing the complaint Judge Holt
cited the opinion OF the United states Su-
preme Court in the cas- Of the United
States Us. The f. c. Knight Company. n
sugar-refining corporation Of Phfladsl-
phia. in which the court held that the
American Sugar Refining COMPANY. one
of the defendants. in purchasing the
knight company and others did not OPP
crate IN restraint Of trade. declaring that
manufacture was not trade or com
merce; that the action OF the American
Sugar Refining Company. in stopping the
manufacture OF sugar blythe Philadelphia
rehneries only incidentally affected the
sale of the product; that Congress had no
jurisdiction 10 pass laws TO remedy in
Juries caused by such action. and that the
States alone had power 10 pass such
laws"
This suit says Judge Holt, referring
TO the present case. is obviously bought
upon the Sherman antitrust act. The
plaintiffs counsel admitted that in the
present state of the pleadings, the plain
tif must recover upon that act. and could
not recover upon any other theory Of la
bility. In my opinion. no amendment can
be made to the complaint which viii make
1t good so long as it is based on the Sher-
man antitrust act.
If. in fact this court has jurisdiction
of this case on the ground of the diverse
citizenship OF the parties. the plaintiff
may desire TO amend the complaint and
proceed upon some theory OF equitable
liability. in which case the plaintiff should
have the usual leave 10 amend"
