ance in its then obvious condition, or

part of the plaintiff. Under the evil
dence, the defendant is entitled to
judgment, Notwithstanding the verdict.

Northfoss Given His Freedom.

G.. o. WEIGH. superintendent Of the
state hospital for the insane at Fer
gus Falls. was yesterday ordered by
the supreme court to release William
L. Northfoss. one OF the patients from
custody forthwith. Mr.. WEIGH had
pleaded that he could not sign docu-
ment declaring that no person will be
endangered by the discharge. Mr.
Northfoss was committed to the
asylum from Wadena county Decem-
Der 10, 1904. for assault in the second
degree, after a jury had declared him
insane. At the time Of the committal
of Northfoss there was a law that q
patient be held until sanity had been
regained. In 1907 a law was enacted
by the Minnesota legislature under
which the releasing of patient was
subject to an order being signed by
the superintendent that when released
the patient would not harm no one.
This Mr.. Welch declined to do and an
appeal was taken to the upper court.
The latter says the new law did not
apply to Mr.. Northfoss.

Instead OF the trust problem having

cisions In the, oil and tobacco cases, ii
has been rendered more complex.
President Taft is doubtless correct ia
hia assumption that every guilty com
Dination can be successfully prose-
cuted under the Sherman act. Sub
sequent proceedings in the case OF the
tobacco trust, however, indicate that
the problem Of disintegraAion or recon-
struction presents phases even more
intricate and involved than that OF
prosecution.
In every such proceeding there are
thre parties at interest: the corpora
ton, with its security holders and en-
ployees; it's competitors, classified as
independents; and the general public.

materials and the consumers Of its pro-

The expense of the prospective litiga-

business conditions over considerable

much concern.
IL may be asgum I'd that it was for
means for the regulation rather than
the humiliation OF the trusts that the
