Especial TO The Caucasian.

Washington, ID. c.. May 16, 1911.
The long iooked-for decision OF the
Supreme Court of the United States
in the case of the Governments suits
to dissolve the Standard OIL Company
and the American Tobacco Company
for violation Of the Federal antitrust
law were handed down on yesterday;
that is, the decision of the Supreme
Court in the Standard Oil case was
handed down, which unquestionably
defines the lines and limits Of the de-
cision in the American Tobacco Com
pany's case which was withheld, but
which is expected to follow next
Monday.
On its face the Government wins a
victory, in that the Supreme Court
Court holds that the Standard Oil
trust is an illegal combination in re-
straint of trade, and orders that that
company must be dissolved, allowing
it six months time within which to
effect the dissolution under the law
and according to the terms of the de-
cision. There is, however, another
side to the decision, which apparently
robs the Government of most, If moi
all, of it's victory.

A Mixed Victory.

n NuAcu NACtOIys
While the court holds that the
Standard Oil Company is an illegal
combination or trust, yet, in defining
the scope and effect of the Federal
antitrust law, it holds that this law
does not prohibit combinations in re-
straint of trade as contended by the
Government under the strict letter OF
the law, but only covers combina-
tions in unreasonable restraint of
trade, or combinations that result in
unreasonable" restraint of trade.
The word unreasonable" does not
appear in the text of the law.
Thus it will be seen that the de-
cision as now handed down seems to
restrict the effect of the law so that
in the future no corporation, trust or
even though it's operations are in re-
straint of trade, resulting in the
breaking up of competition, etc., un-
less these determinations and re-
straints shall be determined by the
court in each individual case to be
unreasonable
Justice Harlan's Dissenting Opinion.
Associate Justice Harlan, in a Wig
orous dissenting opinion, while agree
ing that the Standard Oil Company
was guilty of violating the law as
found by majority of the court, yet
held that that corporation should
have been held guilty even if its Of
| fenses had amounted to any restraint
of trade as the law provided, instead
of amounting to gross 'unreason-
able restraint of trade.
/ Justice Harlan points out that the
| law does not permit of violation of
it's terms in small degree any more
than in a large degree. He says that
| the decision of the court in reading
| the word unreasonable" into the
text of the law amounts to pure leg
islation on the part of the court. He
says that the function of the court is
to construe the law, and not to
amend it. He further points out that
| it is the exclusive function of Con-
gress to enact laws and to- amend
laws, and that the court, in dealing
with the constitution and with the
laws, should interpret them and not
usurp the legislative power to amend
them.

Two Queens Said
to Agree on All

Denial that Victoria Eugenie and
Marie Christine Refuse to Speak

VIENNA Feb. 4.-(Specisl Csblegram.)-
The following Spanish communque appears
in the Politische correspondence: There
is no foundation whatever for the rumor
recently disseminated that the relations be-
tween Queen Victoria Eugenie and her
mother-in-law, Queen Marie Christine. are
not of Me best. The relationship between
the two queens has not been clouded in
the least. but has retained the very friend
Hest character that II assumed from the
beginning. The two exalted women often
appear together in society, as on a recent
occasion when they attended children's
party given by two Of the ladies in waiting.
the duchess OF San Carlos and the march
ioness of Salamanca. at which the crown
prince and his youngest brother were
present.
The attribution of political pretensions
to the queen mother must also be repudi-
ated. Since King Alfonso 1tiAlntd his ma
Jority and took over the management Of
state affairs the former queen regent has
had no idea OF interfering in any way with
political matters
