DRUG FIRM WINS
FROM v. H. HILL CO.
Gray & Worcester's Right To Cut
Prices On Proprietary Remedy Is
Upheld By Court.

Judge Murphy handed down a de-
cision, Friday morning, denying the
right OF the W. n. Hill Co, OF De
troit. 10 compel the retail dealers to
sell the concerns products at stated
price. and dissolving the injunction
restraining Gray & Worcester from

The case was started by the Hill

Gray & Worcester terminated the
agreement, and procured the Hill
products from another source. just

prices were cut, ana proceedings were

Attorney Arthur Webster, for the
defendants. argued that the agreement

President Urging Economy in Gov

Marvel at Magnate's Loquacity.

WASHINGTON. April Public
men here. In congress and outside.
have been reading with interest the
various published interviews with T..
III. Hartman, the great railroad man.
and marveling at his sudden loqua-
city.
They do not find, however, that he
has thrown much light upon the sub
jects that he has discussed His the
DRY that the government should be

esting TO congressman and others, but
even Mr. Hartman is unable 10 indi-
cate just how that could be done, and
careful Inquiry among officials here
reveals an equal ignorance.
But IL Hartman meant that there
should be a more careful adjustment
OF the expenditures to the revenues
OF the government, he is right In line
with the present administration. just
as he is in his suggestion that the
Sherman antitrust law should DO
amended.
Both President Taft and former
President Roosevelt have urged. in
their public speeches and messages.
that the Sherman law should be mod
ified SO as TO permit the railroads TO
make pooling agreements among
themselves. Bills 10 effect this were
introduced in the last congress but
never got beyond consideration in
committee. They will be introduced
again but 1t is evident that the great
change of sentiment which Hartman
says he has observed throughout the
country on this subject must make II
self more clearly manifest than il has
yet done before such a measure can
become law.
On the subject of economy in the
government Hartman is In close
agreement with the present admins
tration. President Taft has already
instructed the heads OF the govern
ment departments TO scrutinize most
carefully the expenditures OF their Of
fees with the view of scaling down
their estimates for the next fiscal year
to the lowest possible figures consist
ent with the proper needs Of the gov
eminent.
At the same time similar steps are
being taken in congress to keep the
appropriations to a minimum.
II Is the impression here that Sen.
ator Aldrich and his colleagues of the
finance committee. in the preparation
of the tariff bill, are looking more TO
a big reduction in expenditures. rather
than TO increased revenues. in order
TO make the income and outlay OF the
government more nearly meet

and abroad, They cannot get around
the fact that such an adjustment
would mean a general downward re-
vision. They cannot ignore the fact
that the demand foe tariff revision has
arisen from the excessive cost of liv.

fact that any revision that does not re.

kind of revision that the people de.
