William Atkinson, his brother, Samuel,
and John Devone were taken TO their
homes in Absecon this evening unable
TO speak from hoarSeness and with
their bodies and faces swollen and
burning after having been attacked by
swarms of mosquitoes and green flies.
The three men went "bobbing" for
cells Sunday and landed their boat on a
lonely island in the AbSecOn River.
They had taken off their clothes and
were wading in the water when they
discovered that the boat containing
their clothing was gone. Each ac-
cused the other Of playing a practical
joke, but it developed that the rising
tide had carried the boat out.
When evening came the men began
to shout for help. Then il was that
the mosquitoes and flies attacked
them. They shouted until they could
no longer raise their voices. There
was no match with which to start
signal fire that might be seen on the
main land.
AS the mosquitoes and flies became
worse the men plunged into the water
but the salt only made the pain worse.
When rescued the men were eN-
hausted. on their arrival home they
were treated by physicians.

cisiVe Interpretation OF both sections,
l and ,. of the Sherman Act, and il
is an Interpretation which, aside from
its specific effect on Standard Oil. will
be gratifying to the business cOmmu-
nifty. 1t seems to me that the court
has interpreted the act to be substan-
TALLY what the common law of Eng
land was and has. therefore, to that
extent, come around 10 the dissenting
opinion of Mr.. Justice Holmes in the
Northern Securities case, and also, to
some extent, adopted the concurrent
opinion of Mr.. Justice Brewer in the
same case.
The decision, as l view it, turns
upon the question of 'mOnopolizing
or attempting to monOpOiiZe' a given
trade or industry, and the court seems
to hold that so-called combination
contracts are not to be construed as
being in restraint of trade unless such
contracts have the effect of monopo-
LIKING or tend to monOpOliZe."

Supreme Court Disappointing.
President Awaiting Verdict
in the Tobacco Case.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Special
The more the opinion OF the United
states Supreme Court IN the Standard
OH case, as handed down by the Chief
justice, Is studied, the more deter
mined has become the conclusion OF
the progressive wing of both parties
that the antitrust law must be amend
ed In way TO make il impossible for
the Supreme Court to limit combina-
ions IN restraint of trade to such COM
Dinations as the courts may decree are
unreasonable"
disappointment among this group
OF statesmen is keen.
Among the regulars and in admin
iStration circles there is q feeling OF
mlsgiVing concerning the courts inter-
pretatlOn OF the law and the holding
mat reasonable monopoly was not
IN contraVentiOn OF the statute.
1t is apparent that the decision will
result IN great deal OF agitation in
congress for an amendment Of the
statute or the enactment of the Fed
cral incorporation bill proposed by
the President in January, 1910. In
view OF the particular business for
Whlch the President called the special
session together IL is unlikely that
any special message will be sent in or
mat the executive will do anything to
divert the minds of members of Con-
gresS from the particular duties now
confronting them.
ON their own initiative, however.
Congressman will take up the ques-
ton. Already the progressive Repub-
leans are arranging for conferences
FOR the consideration of amendments
to the law on which all can agree
and which eventually VIII be offered
with their support back of it. From
the viewpoint of the administration il
is believed a Federal incorporation
law would be preferable to amend
ment of the Sherman Act. AS a whole.
the Cabinet is more likely to favor
the former. Secretary Nagel has al
ready announced that he favors a
Federal incorporation law.
The President and his Cabinet wilL
await the decision in the tobacco case.
winch is expected May 29th. Until
then no policy will be outlined to
strengthen the antitrust law or solve
the problem that Mondays decision
appears to have made more vexatious
than ever before.
1t may be stated. however. that
there is no intention to check the ac-
tlvlties of the Department of Justice.
Trusts found violating the antitrust
law Will be proceeded with as in the
past.
