Moves. OF the United States Circuit
Court, handed down Il decision this
afternoon. refusing to Quash the
pool indictments against James A.
Patten, Eugene Sales, Frank b..
Hayne, VIM. B. Brown and Col. Robt.
NJ. Thompson. He sustained certain
technical contentious and dismissed
the others.
The indictments charge conspiracy
in restraint OF Interstate trade in
cotton, on which the defendants must
stand trial.
Judge Noycs ruled that the cor
ncring OF a commodity in the market
does not constitute a violation OF the
sherman antitrust law. unless it car
be shown hat the direct effect OF the
So-called corne" would be to restrain
or obstruct Interstate traffic.
This result would be remote in
the present case, the court ruled, as
the effect OF the corner was to stimu-
ate traffic and raise prices, although
abnormally.
The combination to control the
market he termed negatively illegal,
without prohibitOry statute, and
would be positively unlawful in any
State having a statute against cor
nerS.
The allegation that the creation Of
the corner was a violation Of the law
Is dismissed, the court holding that
even IT the combination in question
be a violation, it IS an Involuntary
restraint Of trade, /. e., it is a con
spiracy entered into by persons not
engaged in Interstate commerce.,
which has the effect Of preventing
other persons from freely engaging

REBELS WILL NOT SURRENDER
DR.. NasQucz Gomez Tells What They
Expect to Gain.

Washington, March 23.-Announc-
ing that they will 0 lay down their
arms until formal negotiations for
peace are under way, the revolution
airy party Of Mexico, through Dr..
NasqucZ Gomez, it's representative in
Washington, issued a statement to-
day outlining the attitude of the
reVolut!onists toward peace over
lures and reforms in the republic.
The statement says:
The revolutionary party, which Is
constituted of the best men of the
country, cannot accept as a guaran-
tee only the promise Of a government
thal mas Tor more than thirty years
Dren promising. and has never full
nlled a single one Of its promises.
THE revolutionists think. and
with reason. that following the Law
ing down OF their arms, many of the
leaders would die mysteriously, no
reforms would be granted and the
opposition would be greater than
ever. ~
'For this reason the revolutionists
VIII not accept as Il guarantee Mr..
Llmantour, or any other individual.
because n man cannot and must
not serve as a guarantee for a politi-
cal party fighting for the liberty of q
people, and much less when such q
man has been, and is, the rigiit-nnAs,ni
Of the Expressing government.
THE revolutionists do not desire
the complete elimination Of the OBJ
posing party. = The revolution
airy party must be represented in the
government, in the congress and in
the caDlnet. For all these rea-
sons the revolutionists will not lay
down their arms until the time Wen
the reforms hat guarantee the lives
Of the people, the administration of
justice and political liberty shall be
In effect"
