New Arguments Ordered In STANDARD
Oil and Tobacco Suits,

Z y v r. Z
The Supreme Court Of the United
States has reassigned. for argument the
cases Of the United States against the
American Tobacco Company and the.
Standard OIL Company The reargu.
ment OF these cases comes as the direct
result OF the death Of Justice Brewer.
This noted jurist died just a few days.
after the Standard Oil case had been,
argued. AS Justice Moody. owing to
the fact that as Attorney General ne
had directed the suits, was unable to
participate In the consideration of
these cases, only seven Justices were
left to give decision.
How the court was divided in regard
to the decision In these cases Is still as
much mystery as before the assign
ment of the cases for reargument. 1t
is believed, however, that the court
was evenly divided or almost SO. and
that it probably was loath to give to
the country a decision which was not
supported by majority Of full court.

Douglas Chamber AbandonS
All Idea of Celebration Down

Our Big Event

DOUGLAS. June 9-(specialJ-
The board Of directors of the
The board OF directors OF the
chamber of commerce and mines met
yesterday afternoon in the Office Of
the chamber and decided to endorse
the Bisbee Independence day celebra-
ton an Monday, July 4 and to urge
upon the merchants a general closing
Of the stores in this city and TO mer-
chants and others the attendance in
Bisbee in large numbers as possi-
bic on that day, since Douglas has
made no plans for a celebration of
its own.
This Endorsement came after a
proposition had been made to hold .
picnic up the valley. a sort of a har-
vest home affair. This brought Dan
lei A. O'Donoyan 10 his feet at once.
He stated that Bisbee had made
plans for a celebration on Monday,
July 4. that on the day before. Sun
lay. July 3, Bisbee was intending TO
send a large excursion to Douglas in
Connection with the baseball game be-
tween the rival teams of the two
cities. He said he was opposed 70
doing anything which would tend to
oppose the plans of Bisbee on this
occasion and believed that Douglas
should help the sister city make a
success of the Monday celebration.
He then made a motion indorsing the
Bisbee celebration and urging that a
large crowd go from Douglas to the
Copper city on Monday. July 4. and
that a circular letter be prepared and
sent out urging this.
The motion of O'Donovan at once
prevailed and the picnic plan was
abandoned.

bills. and il is not yet assured that
these measures will be approved by
him.
Congressman Grant Of North Caro-
lima has most ambitious plan for
government cooperation in road
building. He wants congress to arr
propriate s25,OoO.0o0, which is to be
used in the states and territories
which put up equal amounts. It is
plan for the government to go =.
half and half with states. counties
or civil districts on read building.
In a bill which the North Carolinas
has presented in the house. he pro
vides that the governments share be
distributed by body Of three road
commissioners under a bureau Of
roads. which his bill also creates.
The commissioners are to receive
$4,000 year.
Not all of the $50 10000 is to be
come available at once. Only one
fifth OF the sum is to be used the
first year and one-ffth more each
year thereafter until the whole sum
is expended. II the scheme works,
and the states and counties respond,
a total of $4,000. 600 will be expend-
ed in five years for road improve
ments in the United States.
From time to time new ideas as TO
government cooperation and encour-
agemcnt Of public highway building
are advanced in congress. Not long
ago Senator Blankhead proposed a
scheme similar TO that of Congress-
man Grant It was the Alabamian's
idea. though. to justify his roads pol
icy upon the ground that better roads
would facilitate the rural free mail
delivery.
Congressman Brownlow Of Tennes-
see is the original federal good roads
advocate. He wanted S5O.OOO,O00 ex
pended outright for roads. and he
brought to the support Of his bill the
combined automobile associations Of
the country. SO far. however. con
Tess has refused to-launch into the
business Of building highways in the
states
