means Of administering criminal punish
ment Of conspracies in restraint of inter-
state commerce came today before the
supreme court of the United states for oral
argument

questions involved may have some bearing
on the dissolution proceedings under the
same law against the Standard OH and the
tobacco corporations. now awaiting argu-
ment before the same court
The question arose in the indictment Of
Gustav L. Kissel of New York and Thomas
b. Harmed Of Philadelphia, together with
the American Sugar Refining company and
others, on a charge of conspiracy to drive
the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company
out of business. in violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust law The indictment found
in 1909, charged that the conspiracy was
entered into in 1900
INssel and Harmed pleaded that the
statute of limitations forbade thoir prose-
cution, and the circuit court OF the United
states for the southern district of New
York sustained that objection to the indict-
ment
The case came to the supreme court
largely on a dispute as to what "conspir-
acy," as referred to in the Sherman anti

NEW YORK Nov. i0-Professor Her
schel Parker of Columbia University, who
recently returned from his exploration OF
Mount Mckinley, today made public a

the top Of the highest peak in America.
Professor Parker states that he found
the mountain peak which Or. Cook photo
graphed and called Mount Mckinley. 1.-The

his statement showed a photograph of a
mountain peak taken by his expedition
last summer and pointed out that a com

detail Identical outlines Of rock formation,
proving that they are pictures or the
same mountain ~ ---s4a-s'--

said Professor Parker was twenty miles
away from Mount Mckinley and fifteen
thousand feet below its summit. This is
the same peak that Cook photographed
and called the top of the continent

fession made a year ago by Edward Bar
