HARTMAN MERGER
HELD TO Re LEGAL
Court Sustains Union and South
ern Pacific Combine.
NO TRADE RESTRAINT SEEN
Federal Circuit Tribunal Decides
Railroads Did Not Break Law
Dissenting Opinion upholds
Governments Allegations.

ST. Louis.-The governments pc
tition to enjoin the Union Pacific
Railroad company from continuing
TO control the Southern Pacific Rail
road company was dismissed by the
United States circuit court of the
Eighth district. Judge Elmer b.
Adams wrote the majority opinion,
which was concurred in by Judge San
born and former. Judge, now supreme
court justice, Van DeVanter The de-
cree was entered at Salt Lake City,
where the suit was filed in February,
1906, and the opinions were handed
down in st. Paul, Salt Lake City and
here. Judge Adams found that the
railroad merger engineered by the late
Edward II. Hartman and his associ-
ates in 1901 and subsequently did not
amount to direct and substantial re-
straint Of trade, interstate or interna'
r1onal
Judge William C. Hook filed a dis
senting opinion.
Our conclusion" said Judge Adams,
is that, all the facts OF this case, con-
sidered in their natural, reasonable
and practical aspect, and given their
appropriate relative Specification 90
not make the Union Pacific substan-
tial competitor for transcontinentai
business with the Southern racine III
or prior to the year 1901.
Certainly the desire to appropriate
the trifing business done by the
Southern Pacific on the minor lines
or to suppress competition OF franc
which was In the aggregate OF such
small proportions could not have been
the inspiration Of the vast outlay IN
volved in the purchase OF the Hunt
ington stock. II did not amount TO
direct and substantial restraint or
either interstate or international com
merce. This is not sufficient to BRING
It within the condemnation OF the anti
trust law.
This concludes consideration OF
the effect of the transaction chiefly re-
He'd upon by the government in this
case"
The court held also that the invest
ment OF the Hartman lines IN the
Santa Fe was NJ. for acquiring con-
troll, and that If 1t was for obtaining
inside information concerning the OPP
Grafton of great competitor they
chose a lawful way for doing 1t.
THE conclusions OF fact dispose OF
this case" the conclusion concluded,
without the necessity OF determining
the question much debated In brief
and argument whether securing con-
troll of the Southern Pacific company
by purchasing stock of individual own
ers could In any view of the case have
contravened the antitrust law.
ION the facts OF this case, with all
their reasonable and fair differences,
we conclude that the government has
failed to substantiate the averments
OF its bill.
The bill must tc dismissed and
decree will be entered to that effect

SMUGGLING CASE
COVERS MILLIONS
New York Banker Called Head
of Frauds.
SAY HE BRIBED INSPECTORS
Richard Parr Declares Jenkins Case
Involves Man Who Engineered
Vast swlndIe-FederaI Jury
Be Asked to Act.

New York, June 27-That Collector
Loeb Is cunning for far bigger game
than the two millionaires who, 1t is al
legged, struggled fortune in jewels
into the country after having pre-
scented them to Helen d. jenkins, then
of Chicago but now of New York,
came to light when Richard Parr, de-
partment surveyor Of the port, de-
clared that the smuggling was made
possible through the connivance OF
local banker Of great wealth, who sue
ceeded in having admitted duty free
goods of enormous value.
Frauds Run Into Millions.
The treasury department does not
even attempt to guess how much these
smuggling operations have cost the
government, bit 1t was learned from
a reliable source that the frauds will
reach into the millions.
So powerful was this man that,
prior to the Loeb administration, he
was able to name the officers who
were to inspect trunks in which the
struggled goods were. Granting that
the governments losses run into the
millions, 1t requires but rudimentary
knowledge of arithmetic to determine
that the goods brought In reached IN
value tens of millions.
Plot Exposed PrematureIy.
Because of the premature exposure
of the Jenkins smuggling plot, due to
bungling on the part of private de-
tectice agency, 1t is doubtful whether
the government will now be able to
gather enough evidence to bring about
the indictment of the banker in ques-
ton.
The federal grand jury will be asked
to indict Nathan Allen, multimullion-
aire leather manufacturer Of Kenosha
Wis, and one John r. Collins, wealthy
coal operator of Nashville, Tenn, on
the charge OF smuggling Mrs. jenkins
gems.
Customs Men Bribed.
Mr.. Parr says that several customs
men are involved In accepting brides
to help through the smuggled stuff
Aliens lawyers and Collins lawyers
had offered to settle in full with the
government, Mr.. Parr said, but all Of
fers had been refused and the cases
would go to trial II the grand jury re-
turned indictments.
Collector Loeb declined to discuss
the case, but it was said that he has
started an investigation of the re-
port that customs men were bribed
when the Illegal importations were
made.
