of the supreme court.
1t is said that the supreme court has
read something into the statute that
was not there before; that 1t mas in
serted the word reasonable" before
restraints of trade, when the same
court had said that this could not be
properly done, because Congress had
evidently not intended to include such
limiting word in the statute This is
not fair to the court Ii is true that
the court in the early days of the con-
struction of the statute. had said that
1t could not limit the statute in effect
by excluding from its operation what
was deemed reasonable at common
law. But as other cases arose il found
IL necessary to make exceptions TO the
literal operation of the words re
straint of trade" and il did so by ex-
cepting what was minor or incidental,
or indirect. and including only those
cases where the chief object of the
contract or combination was the re-
straint. In doing so the court said
that It must give the statute a reason
able construction and not one leading
TO absurd or ridiculous results. In the
last two cases the court did not
change the substance of the reasoning
and scope of the previous decisions,
but only treated the exceptions pre-

rect as excluded from the operation

CRUISE is PROPOSED.
Atlantic Fleet May Spend Winter in
the Mediterranean

Washington, Sept. lS.-The Atlantic
fieet In all probability will cruise In
the Mediterranean sea during the ap
ject is now under consideration by the
navy department. several alternate
voyages being In mind. and the final
conclusion of the matter awaits the re-
turn of Secretary Of the Navy Meyer
from abroad.
The Mediterranean cruise seems TO
receive the greatest favor, however,
and. If Secretary Meyer follows the
judgment of the naval officers, the bat
tleships will pay calls OF courtesy 10
all the countries OF Southern Europe
whose shores are washed by the Medi-
terranean.
The fleet will sail about oct. 10. re-
manning in foreign waters several
months. II will then be assembled at
Guantanamo. Cuba, for cruising and
maneuver exercises which will last un-
til March.
Other Visits Remembered.
Last winter the entire fieet visited
the English channel. calling at ports of
Great Britain and France, while during
the past spring the second division of
the fleet cruised in the Baltic sea,
touching at the ports of Germany Rus
STA, Sweden and Denmark.
These visits, 1t is pointed out. are
fresh in the minds of the people of
Northern Europe, as well as the per-
sonnel of the American navy.
on the other hand, IL has been some
time since the big fleet OF the United
States was seen in the Mediterranean
and that part of the world offers an
ideal place for a winter cruise.
one thing at least Is certain. ac-
cording to the naval officers. and that
Is that the fleet will not make a voyage
around the world. No such trip is in
contemplation for this year or any 9TH
er, so far as plans have been made.
Nothing would be accomplished, IT is
believed, by repetition at this time Of
the globe girdling cruise of three years
ago.

DREW A PICTURE OF
 MELLEN ON FREIGHT

New Haven, ,Ju une 22-Some unknown artist, a good bit of talent he had too, got busy with kpiece of chalk on some freight cars standing in front of Union station yesterday, and one product of his work was voted meri- torious piece of work, for it appeared to be bust picture of President C. S. Mellen of the New Haven road. The car on which this was drawn happened to be New York, New Haven and Hartford coal car, No. 557O6.
 Whether the drawing was intended to be a likeness of the New Haven roads president there is no way of telling, the artist saying nothing on this point but proceeded with his work till it was finished and then walking quietly and quickly away.
 Railroad men and others who saw the picture and know the head of the road believed that the artist had him in mind when he made this sketch. As a drawing from memory it bore a strikingly good likeness to MT. Mel1en. No doubt as the car goes over the line the drawing will be looked at with interest until it is washed off by the elements or by some human agency who does not think drawing of the president should be gracing the side of a blackened coal car.
