In the movement toward the MeXi-

supplies with them. All the officers
had their equipment ready as though
in time of war. Under the new regu-
lations the baggage which they carry
il limited whereas in 1898 it Uttered
the fields and camps. The enlisted
men carried their shelter tents, blan-
kets. towels, combs and brushes,
tooth brushes and soap and every
thing was ready for their comfort
within short time after detraining.
Before the maneuver orders were
issued it was optional with the en-
listed men whether they would sub
nit to inocculaton against typhoid
About % per cent of them submitted
of their own will. But troops partici'
pating in the Texas movement have

ARMY MANEUVERS
A GREAT SUCCESS

Washington, April 3.-Aside from
the diplomatic significance or consid
erations involved, the movement of
troops to Texas is regarded by war
department officials as having dem
onstrated the preparedness of the
army. Detailed reports of the move
ment and of camp conditions are com
ing in daily.
1T is evident" said General Leon
ard Wood, chief of staff today, that
the experience which the American
troops have gained in recent years In
the movements to and from the Phil
ippines has taught them how to move
and to move quickly. What delays
were involved We're occasioned by the
fact that the department gave no
preliminary warning to the rail
roads"
According to the reports of General
William II. Carter from the headquar-
ters OF the maneuver division at San
Antonio, the whole movement has
produced nothing but satisfaction as
a military situation"
The ease with which the movement
has been carried out and the absence
of confusion. It is said, are attribu-
table distinctly to the lessons learned
during the Spanish American war. In
1897 all the acquisitions came after
the arrival of the troops, and some

While that decision expressly

court two years ago, that stock

a bona fide corporation, irrespective
of the extent of such ownership. did
not preclude railroad company from

IMPORTANT DECISIONS BY SUPREME
COURT; OKLAHOMA CASES TOUCHED

Washington, April 3.-The com
modities clause" of the Hepburn rate
law, interpreted two years ago by the
supreme court of the United States
into what was commonly supposed to
be an important group of words, was
given new life today by that same
tribunal in second Interpretation.
SO effective was the reconsideration
OF the subject that government Of
fcials tonight predict that the evils
sought 10 be corrected by the legisla-
ton will now be remedied and rail
read business hence forth divorced
from coal business.
Affects Coal District Lines.
The commodities clause made 1t
unlawful for a railroad to transport
in interstate commerce any commo-
dty produced by it or in which it|
might own or have any interest, with
certain questions. The government
sought to reach under the law a num-
ber of railroad carrying anthracite
coal from Pennsylvania.
The circuit court of the United
States for the eastern district OF
Pennsylvania denounced the law as
unconstitutional. The sureme court
of the United States reserved the low
er court. holding the law constitu-
tional as construed The cases were
remanded for further proceedings.
History of Litigation.
The government then took the po-
sition that the supreme court had de-
cided merely that ownership by rail-
road of stock in coal company was
not such an interest in coal as was
prohibited by the law. Therefore it
sought to amend its original petition
for injunction so as to allege that
the coal companies were mere de-
vices of the railroads to evade the
law and that the railroads had a legal
or equitable interest in the coal. The
government made a test case of the
suit against the Lehigh Valley rail
road company.
Lower Court Overrruled.
The lower court refused permission
to amend and likewise refused re-
quest to dismiss the suits against the
Erie Railroad company, the Central
Railroad company of New Jersey and
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
without prejudice, so that new suits
could be instituted against the COM
panies. From these rulings the gov
ernment appealed to the spureme
court.
Chief Justice White today announc-
ed the decision of the court. The
entire bench agreed with his state
ment, although on the previous con-
sideration of the case Justice Har-
Ian dissented from the judgment of
the court.
The chief justice today took the
position that the lower court had err.
ed in refusing to allow the govern
ment to amend its original petition.
He referred to the refusal as IAN
absolute abuse of discretion" He
said, however, that the abuse was "ob-
viously occasioned by a miscencep-
ton of the character of the action
OF this court and the scope of the
mandate"

Matter of Competition.

Some of the members of the bar
thought the court was flirting with
one question involved in the Stand
ard Oil and tobacco cases, when it
decided that proprietary medicine
companies are not entitled to monop-
olize in the sale of their medicines
and that the public is entitled to COM
petition among retailers thereof. JUS
tice Holmes, in dissenting alone, ut
tered some causc words about the
popular, but mistaken" notion that
competition was always beneficial to
the public.
In both cases the government took
the position that the natural effect
of competition is to increase compe-
tion and to extinguish or prevent the
free play of competition is to hinder
il. The corporation lawyers question
cd the doctorine that the reduction
Of competition necessarily meant a
restraint of interstate commerce as
referred to by the Sherman anti
trust law.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-04-05

Question Of Monopoly.
The manufacturer sought to enjoin
the Cincinnati firm from inducing
dealers who had procured medicines
from the manufacturer, to sell to it
in violation of a contract with the
manufacturer, and from selling medi-
cines procured in this way at "cut
rates"
Justice Lurton, then judge in the
circuit court, announced the opinion
of the circuit court of appeals of the
sixth circuit, denying the injunctions
sought. He said that while the manu-
facturer of medicines under a secret
formula had a right to monopoly of
manufacture until the formula was
discovered by fair means, yet courts
could not insure him the "unneces-
sary monopoly" of controlling the
price to the consumer.
Privileges of Inventor.
Justice Lurton added that such a
manufacturer would be accorded 9th
erwise a greater privilege than an in
ventor. He pointed out that an in
ventor must make public his inven-
ton, which becomes the property of
the public after a few years, but a
manufacturer of proprietary medi-
cine, under a mere secret formula,
might enjoy a monopoly forever.
Justice Hughes today quoted ap-
provingly from Judge Lurton's opin-
ion and stated that the medical COM
pany had made the mistake of con-
sidering its monopoly of manufacture
to be a monopoly of sale.
Judge Holmes Dissent.
Justice Holmes, in dissenting
opinion said that he believed in the
policy of letting people manage their
own buiness in their own way as
much as possible. Furthermore he
stated that he believed there was a
tendency to over-value the benefits
of competition to the public. None
of the other justices concurred in
the dissenting opinion as stated from
the bench.

No Trust Case Decisions.

Keen disappointment prevailed to-
day in the vicinity of the supreme
court of the United States when that
tribunal finished its weekly task of
handing down decisions without
touching on the dissolution suits
against the Standard Oil and the to-
bacco corporations. The biggest
crowd that has attended in years to
get into the court room today block
ed the corridors in the capitol. Wo-
men and men stood in line for hours,
even while the court was taking re-
cess for luncheon in the hope that
they would gain admittance.
The failure of the court to decide
the cases today precludes the an
nouncement of the decisions until
Monday at least.
