HARLAN PARTLY DISSENTS
Again Objects to "Rule OF Reason" in
Interpreting Law.

Washington, May 30.-Associate
Justice Harlan delivered a vigorous
dissent to part Of the decision of the
supreme court of the United States in
the tobacco case, although he agreed
that the American Tobacco company
and it's accessory and subsidiary cor
porations were members of an unlaw-
full combination in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
His dissent, as expressed from the
bench, centered around two points.
First he took issue with the court for
sending the case back to the lower
court.
Il have found nothing in the record
he said, (which makes me at all anx-
ious to perpetuate any new combina-
ton among these companies which
the court comedies had at all times
exhibited a conscious wrongdoing."
In the second place, he reiterated
the objections he expressed in the
Standard Oil decision of two weeks
ago to the adoption of the "rule of
reason" as a standard for ascertain
ing what restraints of trade violate
the Sherman antitrust law.

Mexico City, May 26.-President
Diaz in a letter read by the president
of the chamber of deputies resigned
the presidency of the republic of Mex

ton by the deputies was announced.
Every one had expected an uproar
and demonstration when the an
nouncement should be made, but with
in the chamber there was a dead ST.

In the packed streets, however,
news that Diaz was at last no

was no violence nor no destruction Of

On the motion to accept the presi-
dents resignation 167 deputies voted
yea, while two of them did not express
themselves.
In similar fashion the resignation of

and similarly Francisco Leon de la

Supreme Court Says American
Tobacco Company Violates
the Sherman Law.
HARLAN TAKES EXCEPTIONS
Decision Regarded as More
Drastic Than in Recent
Standard Oil Case.

Washington, May 30.-The govern
Fment won a sweeping victory over the
so called tobacco trust" when the
supreme court of the United States
held the American Tobacco company
and its allied corporations to be
operating in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
By directing that the combination be
forbidden the privilege of interstate
commerce or placed in the hands of a
receiver unless it di%sintegrates in har-
mony with the law within six or at
the most eight months the court is re-
garded to have dealt with the tobacco
corporation more ~drastically than
with the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey, whose dissolution was or
dered two weeks ago.
Both the first and second sections of
the Sherman antitrust law have been
violated by the so called tobacco trust,
according to the court. Not only has
it restrained wrongfully and unlawful
ly interstate commerce, in the eyes of
the court, but it has attempted to mo-
nopoliZe the tobacco business to the
injury of the public and of its COM
petitors.
While the decree was regarded as
unusually severe at the same time
there was a touch of Ieniency in not
making the combination an outlaw
now The various elements of the
combination are to be given an op-
p~ortunity, under the supervision Of
the United States circuit court for the
Southern district of New York, of
recreation, so that there may be
brought about "a new condition which
shall be honestly in harmony and not
repugnant to the law"
Harlan Dissents on One Point.
The entire court agreed the tobacco
combination violated the Sherman
antitrust law, but Associate Justice
Harlan dissented from the repeated
Interpretation of the Sherman anti
trust law so as to call for the applica-
IAou " LhS IulG VI lCdSOu Ill ue-
termining what restraints of trade
were forbidden by the act. In this re-
spect the division of the court was the
same as in the Standard Oil company
case.
The court reiterated it's determine
ton to follow the rule of reason in
determining what restraints of trade
violate the Sherman antitrust law.
In reality the decision was nothing
less than a deliberate exemplifcation
of the application of the rule of rea-
son" to "undisputed facts" From the
date OF the organization of the first
combination the court found that
there was a purpose to acquire domin-
ion and control of the tobacco trade,
not by the mere eXertion of the ordi-
nary right to contract and to trade,
but by methods devised in order to
monopolize the trade by driving com
petitors out of business.
lis purpose was carried out ruth
lessly, according to the court, upon
the assumption that to work upon the
theory or play upon the cupidity of
competitors would make success pos
sible. Such action, viewed in the
Eight of reason" was regarded by the
court as violative of the law.
