San Francisco, July 1.-The de Laveaga
will contest, which has dragged along In
the courts for 2l2 days, was settled TINS
week by Judge Coffey, who decided that
Miguel de Laveaga and his sister, Mrs.
Cebriau. should share alike in the three
million dollar estate of their dead sister
Maria. In Marias will only $4,000 was
given to Miguel. while all the remainder
except for some small requests was LEFT
10 Mrs. Cebrian. Judge Coffey decided
against the will mainly because OF the
evidence produced of the undeveloped MIND
of Maria, who 1t was established was
childish in intellect, although well de-
veloped woman physically. He held that
Maria was plainly Influenced against her
brother. r. f. Pisbury was counsel for
the contestant.

procity bill was defeated in the Senate by
an overwhelming vote Those against the
amendment apparently outnumbered those
in favor Of It by nearly two to one. The
noes from the Democratic side came In
practically unbroken volume. while on tho
Republican side the ayes and noes seemed
10 be nearly balanced one reason for
emitting the rollcall on what appeared to
be an important crisis In tho progress OF
the bill through the Senate was that the
advocates OF the amendment found their
number so small they were not anxious TO
reveal their weakness.

HARTMAN MERGER UPHELD.

That depends on how you look at it,"
was the reply. The governments petition
10 enjon the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany from continuing to control the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company was dis
missed by the United States Circuit Court
In ST. Louis Judge Elmer b. Adams wrote
the majority opinion, in which Judge San
born and ex-Judge NOW Supreme Court
Justice Willis Van Deyanter concurred
Judge William G.. Hook wrote a dissenting
opinion. Judge Adams found that the rail-
road merger effected by Edward III. Harri-
man and his associates in 1901 and subse-
Quently did not amount TO direct and
substantial restraint Of trade, interstate or
international. He found that the suppress
sion OF competition between the Union Pa
cifc and the Southern Pacific was so in
nnitely small that it was unmportant. In
connection with this feature OF this de-
cision Judge Adams cited the recent Stand
ard OIL decision, in which the rule Of rea-
SON was laid down by the United States
Supreme Court
"A new record In the foreign commerce
of the United States, SURPRISING that Of
any years business in history, was made
in the eleven months of the fiscal year
ended with May. The imports and exports
3 of the United States, as compiled by the
Bureau of Statistics. amounted to $751;
sss,6OS which exceeds the record year Of
1908 by almost $4,000. The balance of
trade in favor of American business men
from their foreign customers amounts TO
$50, SIS, 5O2 for the eleven months.
