THE International Cotton congress
in session at Barcelona, Spain, decid-
ed last Friday, that members or all
associations affiliated with the general
body should buy at least part OF their
cotton on a basis Of net weight and
so oblige the American planter to
adopt the new system Of baling and
preparing cotton. 1t was determined
to appoint a committee 10 stuIy
a form for universal contract equi-
table for sellers and buyers. The con-
gress recommended the development
of cotton culture in the East Indies
as the region offering the most adVan-
tages. Resolutions were adopted urg-
ing associations and manufacturers
represented to agree to reduce pro-
duction owing to the situation or the
industry. The international commit
tee, instructed to consider a universal
uniform contract, proposed clause
the contract is accepted. Another
condition recommended was to fix the
percentages Of humidity. The COM
mittee is to study the laws of nat
ural absorption and the different fibres
and qualities of cotton. The next
congress will be held at the Hague.
washington, May Is: The Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey and
it's nineteen subsidiary corporations
were declared today by the supreme
court of the United States to be
conspiracy and combination In re-
straint of trade. 1t also was held TO
be monopolizing interstate commerce
in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law. The dissolution of the
combination was ordered to take
place within six months. The supreme
court holds: That the Standard OH
company Is a monopoly in restraint OF
trade. That this giant corporation
must be dissolved within six months.
Corporations whose contracts are not
unreasonably restrictive OF competl-
ton" are not affected. Other great
corporations whose acts may oe call
ed into question will be dealt with ac-
cording to the merits OF their partlcu-
lar cases The court was unanimous
as TO the main features Of the decision,
Justice Harlan, dissenting only as TO
a limitation of the application Of the
sherman antitrust law. President
Taft and cabinet will consider imme-
diately the entire trust SITUATION ana
the advisability of pressing for a Fed
eral incorporation act. A decision in
the tobacco trust case, which was eX-
pected simultaneously, was not an
nounced today but may be handed
down on May 29.
Mexico City, May 10: With large
part of the Mexican capitals garrisons
controlling the outskirts of the city
to ward off possible attack by rebels
and the remainder of the guard ready
to assist the police in quelling q riot
in the downtown district, residents Of
this cosmopolitan town had their
thrills of the revolution today. Act
ing upon information received at the
department of war and at nolice head
quarters, that the revolutionists were
planning an attack upon the suburbs,
presumably Tlalpam or San Angel,
and that the long-talked Of students
demonstration was to take place this
afternoon, every precautionary meas
ure was taken. But the attack by the
rebels did not take place and the STU
dents demonstration was again post
poned. Under present circumstances
the rebel attack could not have sue
ceeded, but the great danger was from
within. 1t was feared that a demon
stration of the students might pre-
cipitate a general disturbance. The
ruffian element would be sure to join
in, and this coming at the moment OF
an attack by rebels, even though few
in number, would present serious diff
ficulties. Throughout the city the
idea of self defense is growing. Pre-
liminary steps looking to an organi-
zation have been taken by the commit
tee representing the American colony,
although the action has not found
unanimous approval.
-Jaurez, Mex, May 12: Warrants
were sworn out today before Mexican
provisional officers in JuareZ for the
arrest of a number of members OF
the American legion in the insurrecto
army, on the charge of looting and
robbing Chinese during the recent
fighting. Several have come to the
American side. Twenty-Five Ameri-
cans composed the American force
that made itself famous by it's desper-
ate fighting in the streets Of Juarez.
Whether charges of looting have been
brought against all these is not known.
Indeed it has been impossible to con-
firm from official sources the report
that charges have been made against
Americans. The Americans themselves
were quietly told by Mexican friends
that officers were looking for them
and quietly in turn they crossed the
line into American territory. What
ever else may result, the immediate
effect has been the elimination of the
American fighting forces from the
ranks of the insurrecto army at Juar-
ez. The Americans vehemently deny
81, oh Of that
jealousy among the insurrecto lead
ers is back Of the accusation and that
the moving incentive is the taking of
all credit for the victory to MeXicans
10 the exclusion of Americans, OF Col.
Garibaldi, the grandson of the Italian
patriot, and Of thirty eight Mexicans,
who the Americans assert, came to aid
them after they had fought their way
into the city.
Hayward, Wis, May 13: John F.
Dietz will spend the rest of his life at
hard labor in the state penitentiary at
Waupun by the verdict of the jury to-
day for the murder Of Deputy Oscar
Harp in the battle of Cameron Dam on
October 8, last. The jury brought in
the following verdict: John F. Dietz,
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Hattie DietZ, part of a suicide pact
with her friend first degree. The smile
with which the 'old man" has always
faced the things that have happened
TO him, did not desert him. He smiled
as the judge read the verdict handed
up by the foreman Of the jury. He
made no demonstration. The trouble
between John F. Dietz and certain
lumber companies operating in Saw
yer county, Wis, began in February,
1904, through Dietz's refusal to allow
the companies to float logs over the
Cameron dam on a quarter section
bought by Mrs. DietZ without paying
him the toll he demanded. In the last
of his principal attempts to capture
Dietz on various charges and legal
processes, Deputy Harp was killed. In
others several men were wounded,
Myra Dietz was shot through the body
Clarence DietZ was wounded in the
forehead and John, himself, was shot
through the hand. In addition, the
shooting of Bert Horel at Winter,
Wis, by DietZ, September 6, last, was
more or less closely traceable to the
original fracas. The tenth armed
force to take Dietz was successful and
he became a prisoner on October 8
last He was charged with various Of
