SMOKING MORE HARMFUL
TO MIND THAN TO BODY

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.--That smoking
is injurious to mind and not to the
body, is the conclusion drawn by DR.
George n. MeyIan, director of the Co.
lumbia university gymnasium. as the
result of some extensive Investigations
Just made public The tests show that
in general at college smokers make
better athletes, while non smokers stand
higher in classes. Dr. Moylau took as
the subjects for his tests 233 Columbia
students, all of whom smoked habitu.
ally. He kept a record of their physical
condition at the beginning and at the
end Of the two years and also ascer
tanned what progress they had made in
their studies.
The result of the experiments showed
that siXtyslX smokers gained an av
erage OF eight pounds in weight and
l.2 ceDtimctcrs in height. as against six
pounds and III centimeters for those
who did not smoke. The non smokers
gained 90 per cent in lung capacity as
against 9 per cent for the smokers, but
the smokers surpassed them in total
strength by having an increase Of l03
units to l0l,
But in scholarship the non. smokers
forged to the front and reversed mat.
ters At entrance the smokers averaged
50 in their studies as against 81 for
their competitors. In the two.year pc.
riod the smokers averaged g. per cent
with per cent of failures. as against
go per cent with only 4 per cent of
failures for those who did not smoke.

Special to The Tribune.
OGDEN. Dec. 15.-An Independent su-
gar factory. backed by eastern capital
lists. in which most OF the leading beet
growers OF Weber county will he stook-
holders, is the latest movement on the
part of the farmers in their fight for bet
ter prices. which has been waged for
several years against the Amalgamated
Sugar company.
The proposition was made at q meet
Ing OF bectgrowerS and farmers held AT
Plain City last night. and was received
with enthusiasm. II was explained that
recently eastern capital had been look
ing 10 Utah as an investment for sugar
factory, but the reported hold OF the
Amagamated Sugar company on the beet
growers OF the state had discouraged
those in favor of establishing an 'inde-
dependent factory. it is said; Lately,
since the beetgrowers have concluded that
unless they are allowed some of their de-
mands they would agree 10 sell no beets
10 the Amalgan1ated Sugar company, the
plan OF building sugar factory. in which
the farmers would be financially inter
ested has again been taken up.

section, In addition TO a number OF farm =
ers raising other crops were represent

pointed TO draft a constitution and a set

this plan was changed to allow any farm

tion OF the constitution and bylaws. the

in the way appears TO be in the matter

the tentative agreement Tor the loan
was made the Chinese evidently as

some suspicion was aroused by the al
lance of the Americans with European
banking groups and Mr.. Straight s pro-

to participate in the Chinese loan.
The imperial assembly is supporting
the government in its attitude. The
delegates are anxious lest the officials
Of The government make nniustified use
Of borrowed funds. but their chief fear
is of international influence upon the
government as consequence of fnan-

SUPREME COURT RULING
WIDESPREAD IN EFFECT

WASHINGTON. Dec. l5.-Cominc on
the eve OF the reargument Of the dissolu-
ton suits against the Standard Oil and
the Tobacco corporations, the decision
last Monday by the supreme court of the
United states that n conspiracy under
the sherman antitrust law may be a
continuing offense" has aroused new
interest in the forthcoming legal contest
The court delivered this decision In the
Eissel case.
While the question OF A conspiracy un-
der tho sherman antitrust law being
continuing" did not become the leading
issue IN either the Standard Oil or the
Tobacco corpora tions. il figured in the
argument In both cases. 1t was more
prominent in the Standard Oil suit. Just
what effect the Hissel decision vii! have
on the presentation Of the cases 10 the
court is matter OF much speculation
among corporation lawyers in the capital.
IT is known that the attorneys on both
sides arc preparing Ia give close study
TO tho principles which guided the court
in arriving at the unanimous conclusion
In regard 10 the continuing" character
OF a conspiracy.
IL is said that The decision may have
an approciablc effect on the argument as
10 what weight should be given the acts
Of the corpora tions before the Sherman
antitrust act was passed. In Tire first
arguments OF the STANDARD Oil case coun-
sci for that corporation contended that
the alleged rebates and alleged unlawful
exclusion OF competitors from the trade
were not Ia be considered at all beruase
they could not be violations OF Il law
not in existence.
On the other hand. the representa- tives
Of the government argued that these al
legations were very material: that they
showed the continuation" OF tho alleged
conspiracy formed in 1870 and brought
1t down 10 the time OF the operation OF
the act
II has been suggested that the court
may have completed its consideration OF
the kissel case with more than ordinary
speed In order To get the holding bcfor.,

in arguing the hg corpora ton cases i'm
mcdiatclv after New Years. This applies
particularly TO the statement i'm the opin-
lon that Il conspiracy is constituted by
an agreement. to be sure. but the ''cou
spiracy' is the result of the agreement
rather than the agreement Itself lust

result of it.
