 The decision of the United States court of appeals in the Standard oil case, the court declaring that the Standard oil, with its many seemingly separate subsidiary concerns, was a combination in restraint of trade. has convinced the president that many combinations operating under numer- ous state charters cannot be main tained without danger of prosecution under the federal antitrust law.

 The inefficiency of the government inspection because of it's lack of au- thority to ascertain the real business done entirely within a state is given as one cause.

JUSTICE IRWIN AEGLECTS
 PART OF CUSTOMARY FEE
His Retreat Before the Threatened
 Kiss of the Bride.

With the customary amount of dinero. paid for the performance of a marriage ceremony showed deep down in his trousers pocket, Justice Irwin hurredly backed out of the tent of Seferina Chaves near the railroad in the north part of town, Saturday evening, neglecting to collect one oth- CT little fee which might have been his for a second of his time The minion of the law continued to re- treat until he had reached the castor bean growing rank and tall near the front flap of the tent. The evidence is not clear as to whether he lodged behind the perennial shade or whether he simply stood near and tried to steady himself by reaching out his hand and taking hold of its topmost branches. However it is plain that the judge was retreating. A man who has faced the mosquitoes of the Phil ippines, the striking miners of Cripple Creek and the irate subscribers of a newspaper. was unnerved.
 In the door of the tent stood Jose Chavcs- aged thirty-five, and by his side his bride who had a few minutes before been Mrs. Seferina Navarro, aged forty, and the mother of married daughters. Evidently in the mind of the bride the judge had forgotten something-not his Ina. for he held that in his hand. He looked at the bride; there she stood smiling and ready. Her nose turned up a little not very much but enough to be well out of the way. In fact the closest analysis of. the situation could find no obstacles save the hesitancy of the judge. It appeared that the justice was prepared for the ordeal and he advanced a step-the music from a guitar came from some place in an adjoining tent just as the six o'clock whistle blew.

GAS PLANT

 Into the Mains AN INTERESTED AUDIENCE Service to Tempe Citizens Has Begun - The Price At First Will Be Maxi mum $2 Per Thousand Feet
AN INTERESTED AUDIENCE

The manufacture of gas by the South Side Gas company commenced yesterday and the first manufactured fuel was turned into the Mesa mains yesterday afternoon. The gas will be turned into the Tempe mains some time today.
 Yesterday was not a day on which the real merits of a gas manufactur- ing plant could be enthusiastically commended but nevertheless there was an interested group of business men watching the intricate machinery solve the problem of fuel supply for this town. The residents of Mesa Gs well as Tempe have become so accustomed to watching the Indian as he comes to town from the desert with his little load of palO verde stumps which he declares is irOnWood and for which his prices vary, until for a time there will be lOnesomenesS or a something lacking in the regulation of the fam fly affairs.
 With the serving of gas to custom CTS will come the announcement of a price. The franchise granted to the South Side Gas company allows it to charge $2 per thousand feet and it is understood for a time at least that this will be the regular charge

How the Picture Habit Grows on the
 Tempe People.

The moving picture business illus trates nicely how a habit will grow on people. There are people in Tempe who have never missed one of these shows since the first one was given at the Goodwin opera house and the regu- lar attendance at the Saturday night show has gradually increased un- til on last Saturday night all records for attendance were broken There were over three hundred present. There was no special offering. either. merely the usual number of films of pictures and a couple of Illustrated songs. It con be safely predicted that as soon as the airdome is opened. the attendance will be still greater.
 MT. Goodwin has now closed q contract for the airdOme and the work will probably be started today. It will be just west of the opera house and will have a seating capacity about equal to or little greater than that of the house Probably three shows will be given weekly, at least two.

HUNTING IN LUXURY
 DOWN ID A SCIENCE
California Sportsmen Know Just How
 to Do It.

The party of white hunters from Los Angeles who have been in camp near the Kyrene school for the past couple of weeks, are beginning to drift back to California. Among those who left for the coast Saturday were the fol- lowing: w J. Barlow, l.. A Phillips, A. F. Culling. w. P. Johnson. W. P. Motley. J. M. Kilgarif l.. B. Burck, Hansen Moore and L. J. Selby.
 The others in the rarty will prob ably leave today or tomorrow The gentlemen are loud in their praise of Arizona sport. They claim that they never found better wing shooting than they did at Kyrene Of the party of a dozen or fifteen who spent the two weeks in camp, not more than one or two came to town during the entire time. They had everything in camp that anyone could possibly ask for and town had no attraction for them.
 When it came to hunting in luxury those California gentlemen have the thing down to a science. It is certain that not a party of hunters ever slaughtered more game with less ex ertion than those same gentlemen. H@'i~ii i'I''ii upon sums '' '''o i'Oi'' armed himself with a folding camp chair. Selecting a nice cool place in the shade of a tree where the flight of birds appeared good. he comfortably locatedhimself upon the camp chair and began operations. Each hunter had an assistant whsOe duty it was to carry the shells, retrieve the fallen birds and see that the bottles Were kept cool and at a convenient range as well as to perform such other little acts as might be required to save the hunter any hard work. This assistant dressed each bird as it was killed and none of the days killing was allowed to go to waste. What could not be used in camp was sent to town or to Phoenix.
