SYLLABUS OF DECISION

% cldL. LyS.
SYLLABUS OF DECISION
The nature OF the case and the char
acter Of the decision appear from the
syllabus Of Judge Sanborn's opinion
which reads:
Congress has power, under the COM
mercial clause Of the constitution, 10
regulate and restrict the use in com
merce among the several states and
with foreign nations. OF contracts OF
the methods of holding title to prop-
erty and OF every other Instrumental
ity employed in that commerce so far
der TO prevent the restraint thereof
denounced by the antitrust act of
July ?, 1890 26 Stat 2Os.
Test Of the legality OF combination
under this act is it's necessary effect
upon competition IN commerce among
the states or with foreign nations.
II its necessary effect is only Incl
dentally or Indirectly TO restrict that
competition, while its chief result is to
foster the trade and Increase the busi-
ness of those who make and operate II,
st does not violate that law.
But II its necessary effect is to sti1e
or directly and substantially to restrict
free competition in commerce among
the states or with foreign nations, it
IS Illegal within the meaning Of that
statute.
INDICATIVE OF CHARACTER
The power 10 restrict competition
in commerce among the several states
or with foreign nations. vested in a
person or an association of persons by
a combination, is indicative of the
character Of the combina tion, because
IL is to the interests of the parties
that such a power should be exercised
and the presumption is that ii will be.
The combination in a single corpora
fion or person by an exchange of stock
of the power Of many stock holders
holding the same proportions, respect
lively, Of the majority OF the stock of
each Of the several corporations en-
gagged IN commerce in the same articles
among the states, or with foreign ma
tfons TO restrict competition thereir
renders the power thus vested in the
former greater, more easily exercised,
more durable and more effective than
that previously held by the stock hold
ers. and II is Illegal
IN 1883 the stock holders of the
Standard oil company of New Jersey
owned a majority of the stock of 10
other corporations In the same pro-
portions that they owned the stock of
the Sta ndard oil company, and those
% corporations controlled, by the own
ership Of the majority OF their stock
or otherwise. many other corporations.
Each Of these corporations was en-
gagged in some part OF the business of
producing buying. refining, transport
ing and selling petroleum and its prod
uctE and they were conducting about
30 per cent OF the production of the
crude oil and more than 7S per cent

panies so that they retained the
stocks of the 20 principal companies,

outstanding trust certificates for 972,-
500 shares in this trust, and the owners
of these certificates were the equitable
owners of the stocks in all these COM

Paris, July 2SS-An alleged band Of
American professional gamblers, Civ
ing the names Of Osborne, Brody, Roy

pRoPHEsIEO A NEW RELIGION
President Eliot Of Harvard Told
School Of Theology Of lite Aims
and objects.

Cambridge, Mass, July 2S.--Charles
W. Eliot, president meritus Of Har-
ward, In an address before the Har-
ward summer school of theology
prophesled the advent Of a new reli-
gion.
1T will not be bound by dogma or
creed" he said: ats workings will
be simple, but its field Of action limit
less. Its discipline will be the train
ing and development of cooperative
good will. 1t will attack all forms of
evil. There will be no supernatural
element; 1t will place no reliance on
anything but the laws Of nature. Pre-
vention will be the watch word and
a skilled surgeon one Of its members"
The coming religion, he thought,
will be based on the two great com
mandments, the love Of God and the
service Of fellow men.
"The new religion" he said, will
not be based upon authority, the future
generation Is to be led, not driven.
In the new religion there will be no
personification Of natural objects;
there will be no dedication Of remark
able human beings,
'The new religion will not teach
that character can be changed quick
". It will not deal chiefly with sor-
row ana death, but with joy and life.
rGod will be 80 imminent that no
Intermediary will be needed. Its
priests will strive to improve social
and industrial conditions. The new
religion will mot attempt to reconcile
people to present Ills by the promise
Of future compensation"

Houston, Texas, July 24s-The num-
Der Of persons dead as result ofWed'
uesday's hurricane is now conserva-
lively estimated at rs; those more or
less seriously injured number twice
As many, and the property loss Is con-
servatively estimated at 100000
Except to isolated points, all communi-
cation has been restored.
Late dispatches add the towns OF
Rock Island, Wharton and Weimer to
those which suffered to any extent
from the sweep Of the wind. AT Rock
Island, nine Of the largest buildings
were either RACED or partially wrecked,
the damage being estimated at $75,-
900. Fifty houses were blown down at
Weimer and the property loss will APP
proximate 100000.
Wharton suffered more than from
the storm Of 1900. From Quintana
comes the report that the slopp Column
bus with all on board, had been blown
out to sea.
Advices show that damage was done
by the storm over an area Of 100 miles
in the interior. While the property
destruction has been great the loss OF
lives and the proportion Of injury is
almost inexplicably small, This is at
tributed largely that storm warnings
gave the inhabitants an opportunity to
prepare.
In many places crops have been

the hurrican is doing much to restore

Il am willing to offer all there is in

Yancement of good citizenship and an
upright, pure municipality"
Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, who dedi-
Gated the new NJ. E. church Sunday,
was next introduced by W. L. Cleve-
land, chairman of the meeting.
"I am very glad to be on the platform
with two mayors who believe in up
right citizenship and civic righteous
ness" said Bishop Hughes IF it Is
good politics to be lined up with the
civic righteousness side, I'm glad to
hear it, and thank God for it.
Zone of the most important phases
of Methodism in Southern California
is the University of Southern Cali
fornia. We need strong leaders trained
10 carry on our work. AS Moses and
st. Paul and Luther and Wesley were
leaders in days gone by, we need strong,
courageous, intellectual men at all
times.
Il believe in the democracy of the
church. l believe in church that Is
democratic in sex, allowing both men
and women to participate in its actlvl-
ties In this the church is different
from the ordinary fraternal organiza-
ton. In fact, there seems lately to
have developed a semi-aristocracy of
women in the church. The church is
l democracy of age also. | can take
my children with me into the church.
This Is another point of difference be-
tween the church and the lodge. The
church is democracy of race, There
is no barrier because Of nationality.
The church, moreover. is democracy
Of intellect. as men of high intellect
or low may ioin and secure it's advan-
tages. There is also democracy of
temperament in the church. 1t is the
essence of narrowness for any member
