The goverDrhent attorney at New
York mas filed in the district court a
petition asking for the dissolution OF
the American Sugar Refining Company
and twenty-nine other corporations,
which with it, compose the sugar trust,
on the general grounl of having yio-
lated the antitrust law by various acts
such as closing reGner.es curtailing con
sumption, underselliug, rebating and
fraudulent weighing. The trust has a
total capitalization of s2S0,0O0,OO
and is believed to control y per cent OF
the output of refined sugar in this
country, being able to fix prices, as the
tariff bars foreign competition. This
trust by reason of the tariff specially
arranged for its use and benefit sells
sugar refined in this country cheaper
in foreign markets than it does at home.
all of which is a trayesty on justice and
a base imposition on the American
people.

ASvouxcIyG the broad rule that q

ANNOUNCING the broad rule that q
conspiracy under the Sherman anti
trust law may be continuing
offense, " instead OF an offense limited
TO the formation of the conspiracy
and, possibly, overt acts hereunder,
which would revive the conspiracy, the
U. S. Supreme Court yesterday went a
long way toward dispelling doubt as to
the law. The direct result OF the de-
cision is that Gustaye e. Kissel, OF
New York, and Thomas b. Harmed, OF
Philadelphia, must answer further TO
the indictment, brought in 1909 in
New York, charging them with con
spiracy with the American Sugar Re
filming Company and others to drive
the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining
Company out of business. The IN
direct result will be that the govern
ment will find it easier to prosecute
conspiracies under the Sherman anti
trust law. Instead of being required
TO show in an indictment conspiracy
or an overt act in futherance thereof
within three years Of the time Of indict-
meut it is said that the accused will be
required to show that the conspiracy
had been ended by abandonment OF
success more than three years before
the indictment.
