Gentry Brothers Large

These are great days for the young

Scarce had the big three-ring circus

aggregation OF trained animals that al
ways awes and delights the juvenile
mind, hit the Capital.
They We're out in force yesterday, the
children and quite few grown-ups who
wanted an excuse, and they will be out
again today, for the SLOW has begun its
annual weekly engagement. The Gentry
aggregation doesn't pretend to put on
so many high dives, aerial gyrations,
and tumbling clowns as some of the
other circuses, but when It comes to
making an animal do something it is

would say. There are encAsh clowns

funny antics OF the animals just rtade

their hind legs and walked wooden bot
ties, winding up with an orchestra con-
cert that was rather discordant, but
pretty good for elephant musicians. The
ponies went through a drill that would
have done credit to bunch Of West
Point cadets; the dogs did all the old
tricks and a lot of new ones, and a
Kicking mule. an old favorite, just cut
up terribly. During the animal stunts
there were acrobats and clowns who did
enough to give the show the appear

COMMODITIES CASE
DECISION WORRIES
Government Lawyers Deny
Holding Company Prin-
ciple indicated.

The best of official authority is be-
hind the declaration that the recent
commodities clause decision OF the Su-
preme Court of the United States did
not in the slightest degree involve the
principle Of the holding company"
nor in any way bear upon the probable
Iegalizing OF that method Of so-called
trust evasion, upon which rests the
entire fabric of the dissolution suits
brought by the Government against the
alleged illegal monopolies maintained
By the Standard Oil. American To-
baccO Company. =. l. Du POnt de
Nemours Powder Company. the Harri-
man merser, and the Anthracite Coal
combination.
Justice White. who handed down the
decision, upholding the power of Con-
gress to iegislate for the absolute di-
vorcement of transportation and pro-
duction by interstate railroads. does not
believe that there are any points Of
neither does Justice Harlan. or Justice
Moody, and other members of the
court, II their intimate friends quote
them correctly.
Wickersham Disagrees.
Attorney General wickersham, who
has gained great renown as corpora
tion counsel. scouts the imputation.
Frank E. Kellogg. special counsel in
the Government cases against the
StandarS oil and the Hartman inter
ests, characterizes as "bosh" the sug-
gestion of eminent New York lawyers
that the Government antitrust policy
has necessarily collapsed by reason Of
the opinion permitting railroads to hold
stock in coal mine corporations.
What President Taft thinks is not Of
record, but It Is knows that he firmly
believes that the Standard Oil Trust
has met it's finish.
High Government officials declined
TO discuss the matter, feeling so firm
ia their convictions that they consider
Il unnecessary to speculate upon the
eve Of a decision by the United states
circuit court in the Standard Oil case
which is expected in the early fall.
Deeply interested.
But they have manifested the deepest
interest in the informal discussions
which have taken place since the Su-
preme Courts decision. and it is under
stood that all of them are much
gratihed over the pleasing unanimity
OF opinion.
Those who have been directly inter
ested in the trust suits took especial
pains TO secure without delay the COM
nfodiNes decision, and the best advices
are. in the absence of direct state
ments. that they have been unable 10
find the slightest warrant for the i'm
pressions which eminent lawyers in
