SUPREME COURT
 AFTER TIE TRUSTS Governments rust-busting
 Plans for Future HURRY UP THE CASES Contract Alien Labor Is Being Still Used by Contractors According
 to Reports to Department
 of Commerce and Labor
By JONATHAN WINFIELD

Washington. June 25.-(Specal. Al trough this administration has already earned the reputation of being a trust busting machine, greater laurels may await it when the supreme court of the United States convenes in October next. Past experience has demonstrated that the wheels of justice move slowly, but since Congress has passed an "expe- dition" act Qargely measure based upon the statute books through the influence of Attorney General wickersham.) a number of cases of great public interest have been pushed forward for early decision.
 Cases in which the government is an interested party have been allowed to cucumber the record of the supreme court through the disinclination of the government to push the cases and part ly because other matters have occupied the attention of the government prose- cutor. The docket of the supreme court today Is so crowded with cases mostly of a private nature, about one-fifth of the total number being cases in which the government is a party, that 1t Is thought it will take that body at least three years to clear the record. Should the government cases follow the regular call, that is. await their turn on the record 1t would take at least six months from the time the supreme court con- yenes before the first case would re- ceive hearing, and fully a year after that before the second case could be con sidered
 Under the government expedition act, however, the supreme court has ad- vanced for argument In October the most important cases in which the gov ernnent is interested. Hearing on the cases in open court will occupy the at tention of the jurists until January, when the bench takes a recess for the purpose of compiling decisions. For this reason, it is expected by the legal sharps" connected with the department of justice, that a decision will not be handed down in any of the very i'm portant corporation cases until after the Christmas holidays
 During the period of from October to January 43 out of 53 government cases have been advanced and assigned for hearing. Eight cases affecting private citizens are also scheduled for hearing during this time.

ing the operatic music of his pet com poser Verdi. Often he causes the cas- tie halls to resound all day long with the melodies of 'Rigpetto."
 The diplomat relates that the first symptom of brain decay in the young prince till then so bright, forceful, and courageous, was manifested during the Franoo-German war. Just before the siege of Paris Kaiser William summ h. ed him to the headquarters of the gener al staff and kept him under observation, in company with Bismarck and Moltke, the reason being that King Otto had called out a squad of cavalry and order ed them to charge straight at a stone wall, which he insisted was a body of the enemys infantry.
 He began preaching everywhere the stern necessity of concluding peace with France at any price. Soon after inter eepted letters were brought to the Elm peror William which the Bavarian prince had been dispatching secretly to the en- emy. It was then that the old Kaiser sadly sent for the demented prince, dec orated him with the order of the Iron Cross for services rendered in the cam paign and packed him off under a medi- cal escort for a pleasure trip in Spain and Italy.

WILD STORIES OF
 MAD KING OTTO

Milan, June 25.-(Special. )-Some re- markable details relating to the mad King Otto of Bavaria are published from a diplomatic source by the Giornale q Italia" Though shut up for 40 years in castles, now in Castle Furstenried. and though 62 years of age, Otto is still fine, handsome figure. with magnificent beard and flowing grey locks.
 The stories about his periodical fits of fury are quite untrue. His court is pre- sided over by Marshall Baron Redwiz, and consists of a few trusty gentry be- longing to the most ancient families If the Bavarian arist ocracy. King Otto occupies the spacious and sumptuously furnished first floor of the castle, and he often passes the entire day out in the park The walls of bis apartment are hung with splendid paintings, princi- pally of lake and mountain scenes, amidst which the prince passed his happy boy hood. His medical specialist notes that these often exert a wholesome influence on his state of health, concerning which official bulletins are dispatched every month to the prince regent and govern nent to be buried in the secret archives of the royal household.
 King Otto suffers terribly from insom- mia, and often sits up In bed half the night starting to wards the door, as if ex- pecting somebody to enter. He, however, o'clock rises punctually every morning at S and mutely allows himself to be dressed by his valet. He has a holy horror of soap and water. and of having his hair and nails cut. so the servants have to await a favorable day for these opera tions. when the poor patient is in a state of complete apathy. King Otto smokes incredible quantities of cigarettes, and is always puffing away. save when he is absorbed in his favorite pastime of study

REIGN OF JIGSAW
 IS AT AN END

London, June 25.-(Special. )-The reign of the jigsaw in London is at an end Five dollar sets can be had for half dol lar, and jgsaw postcards which used to cost 10 cents are now given away for 2 cents each. Society has tired of a game which labored the intellect to the extent of jigsaw, and in looking around for successor that is both amusing and simple 1t has lighted upon Castello.
 With the advent of summer the castello craze has taken a hold and as 1t is quite decorous it has thrived in spite of court mourning. It Is played on the lawn with ball and mallets, and should employ four players. Each player is given a castle to guard. This model castle is approached by sloping drawbridge which leads to gateway and a courtyard. At the foot of the drawbridge the players place a sentry ball, and on the battlements of the castle three flags of certain color are flown. The game is to drive another ball of the color of your flag past your oppo- nents sentry and Into his courtyard, thus lowering one of his flags. Whe 1.-the three the fray.
 One of the last things King Edward did was to order several Sets of this game, with which he intended to replace his favorite croquet. Society immediately followed the Kings precedent, and now the lawns are filled with castello-playing pesresses and their particular proteges.
 The game, by the way. was invented by the private secretary of a provincial lord mayor.

No Foundings Wanted

London, June 2b.-(Special.) .)-'No found lings wanted," has become the motto of the Founding hospital, that venerable institution in Bloomsbury founded by Captain Coram some 160 years ago. Orig inally infants were admitted if left se- cretly at the door by the mothers, who placed them in a cradle provided for the purpose. That led to obvious abuses the hospital became overcrowded, and during the four years the system was in force 0,39S babies out of 4,934 admitted died in early infancy. After that infants were admitted, mo questions asked,'' on payment of $500, but that system was in turn abolished after 50 years.
 Now babies are only taken in on per sonal application by the mother, who must have been of good character pre- viously, In actual need of help, and de- serted by the father.
 An unfortunate girl who imagined the old system of 15O years ago was still in force. tied her baby in Its carriage to the railings a recent night, with a piteous note running: "I am starving. I am ruined I can starve myself. but save the child" The baby was taken by the policeman who found 1t to the nearest poor house, which is now the only real founding hospital

 The egg, which was bought by MT. Armbrecht, private collector, for s1312, has a remarkable history. About 100 years ago it belonged to a MT.

meat question is pending, a proseeu-
tors inquiry into the cold storage sit

The move to refrain from meat eat

STOCKHOLDERS TRY TO
PREVENT COPPER MERGER
Protestants Claim Movement Is Head
ed by Guggenhem Interests
Which Desire Control

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 24.-The ar
guments of Col. Enos A. Wall and
Charles w. Graham as to why the
rule recently secured by them tempo
rarily restraining the Utah Copper
company from merging with. the Bos-
ton-Nevada Copper company has not
been stricken from the files consumed
the day in the federal court.
The merger, if consummated, in
wolves millions of dollars and would
control about one-ninth of the worlds
output of copper.
Wall and Graham, who are stock
holders of the Utah company, contend
ed the merger would be in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law, and that
the proposed consolidation was a
move on the part of the copper mag
mates, headed by the Guggenheim in
terests, to gain control of the copper
market.
Counsel for the Utah company COM
plains that Mr.. Graham is not bona
ffde stakeholder. Affidavits presented
by the Utah company show that Gug
genheim companies own about 20 per
cent of the stock of the proposed
merger.
Argument will be continued tomor-
row.
