The government contends that all
the defendants have long been par
ties to general combination and
conspiracy which stiles competition
and obstructs trade and commerce
among the states, in anthracite coal
and that they have monopollzed the
trade.
The government in Its brief asks
the court to restrain and enjoin the
alleged monopoly and to further en-
join the defendants from carrying
out the contract with the so-called
independent companies by which the
latter turn over their product to the
larger companies for SIS per cent of
the tide water selling price.
The government contends that the
stock of the New York, Susquehanna
& Western Railroad company, owned
by the Erie, the stock OF the Jersey
Central. owned by the Reading com
pany, the stock of the Temple Iron
company, owned by several OF
the defendants, the stock OF the Penn

OF Coke Brothers & Co., owned by

was acquired in defiance of the anti
trust act under which the suit was
brought, and the court as asked to
enjoln the defendants from voting
this stock or from sharing in the
dividends or other profits of these
companies.
In support of its contention, the
government cites the decision OF the
Northern Securities case and in the
case of Swift & Co. versus the United
States.

COURT RESUMES
LEGAL GRIND TODAY
Two Cases OF Importance to the
West VIII be Decided.

Two Cases OF Importance to the
West VIII be Decided.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--After
the usual midwinter recess, which
began Jan. 81, the United States SUI
preme court resumed its legal grind
today. Arguments were heard on
the long mooted question as to wheth-
er the rights to desert land entries
may be transferred before reclama-
ton has been made, also as to
whether 1t is a crime against the
United States to Craze sheep in a
forest reservation without permits
sion OF the government.
The question of the ability of an
entryman to transfer desert land
entry has been considered by the
court before. On the previous occa-
sion. the court held that under the
desert land act of 1877, the entry
man had no right which he could
sell or transfer. The governments
contention in the present case is
that under the desert land act of
1891. such right Is given the en-
tryman.
1t is said that thousands of per-
sons who have procured their land by
transfer. under the desert land act
of 1891, win be affected by the de-
clsion, This Is regarded as true
particularly of the Imperial Valley,
in California.
Whether or not It is a crime to
Craze sheep, without permission, in a
forest reservation, has arisen in the
indictments OF Pierre Grimaud, ]. p.
Carajous and Antonio linda, sheep
men Of California.
BY act of congress. approved June
4, 1897. the secretary OF the interior
and later the secretary of agricul-
ture, was directed to make provisions
for the protection of the forest reser-
vations. 1t was provided that any
violation of the provisions so made
should be punishable, according to
the revised statutes.
In 1906 Secretary Wilson, OF the
department of agriculture, promul-
gated regulation requiring all per-
sons to procure permit before graz
ing animals in forest reserve. 1t
was by reason of alleged violations
of this regulation that the lndiet.
ments were found.
Attorneys for the sheepmen con-
tended that the act of 1897 was void
so far as 1t attached penalties to any
violation of regulations thereafter to
be made. because 1t sought to pro-
vide a penalty for a crime not COM
pletely defined. 1t was also argued
that the act was an attempt to corner
legislative authority on an executive
officer.

The First Universities,

To fix precisely the date of the rise
of the first universities is impossible
for the reason that they were not
founded, but grew. They were started
by few able men who had something
they wished to teach and youths
wished to learn. Gradually the free,
voluntary center Of learning became
the organized affair we know as the
university. Among the earliest Of
these centers Of learning were Saler-
no. Naples and Bologna, Italy being
the first land to experience the literary
revival. We may say that Salerno
university was fairly established by
the year 1000, the University of Bo-
logna by 1160 and the University Of
Naples by the year 1900. The Uni
versity Of Paris, which owes its ex-
istence to the genius of Abelard. was
founded about the same time.-New

Of alteration, species of disease to
which 1t is liable. When exposed to
the air tin undergoes no chemical
change. rs do iron and copper, which,
Of course, chemically combine with the
oxygen or with water. The tin, how
ever, still remains metallic tin. but
gradually becomes gray and dull and
falls to fine powder.
The disease is catching" 1t infects
or induces the same change In other
masses of tin in the immediate neigh
borhood. We are told that in a Rus
sian imperial magazine. in place of tin
uniform buttons, little heaps of powder
were found. A consignment of Banka
tin sent from Rotterdam to Moscow
In 1877 arrived at the latter place In
the form of powder. This alteration is
due to a change in the internal crys-
talline structure of the metal and is
analogous to the slow transformation
of monoclinic sulphur to rhombic sui.

archaeological interest are rare. Those
that have been found have been in the
