UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT
SAYS IT IS AN ILLEGAL
COMBINE.
GIVES IT SIX MONTHS
DECISION IN TOBACCO CASE Ex.
PEcTEp ON MAY 18th, LAST
DECISION DAY.

Washington.-The Standard Oil
Company Of New Jersey and its nine
teen subsidiary corporations were de-
clared by the Supreme Court Of the
United States to be conspiracy and
combination In restraint Of trade.
1t also was held to be monopoliz.
ing Interstate Commerce in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
The dissolution Of the combination
was ordered to take place within six
months.
Thus ended the tremendous struggle
on the part Of the government to put
down by authority Of law, a combina-
tion. which It claimed was menace to
the industrial and economic advance
ment of the entire country.
At the same time, the court inter.
preted the Sherman antitrust law so
as to limit Its application to acts of
undue" restraint Of trade, and not
every" restraint Of trade.
1t was on this point that the only
discordant note was heard in the
court.
Justice Harlan dissented, claiming
that the cases already decided by the
court had determined-once for all
that the word undue or 'unreason-
able" or similar words. were not in
the statute.
He declared that the reasoning of
the court in arriving at its finding
was in effect legislation which be.
longed in every instance to Congress,
and not to the courts. d.
Ever since the decree in this case
In the lower court, the United States
Circuit Court for the eastern district
Of Missouri was announced, hope has
been expressed by the business
world" that the law would be modified
so as not to interfere with what was
declared honest business. :.
The opinion Of the court was an.
nounced by Chief Justice White. In
printed form 1t contained more than
10000 words. For nearly an hour the
chief justice discussed the case from
the bench, going over most Of the
points in the printed opinion, but not
once referring to 1t in order to re-
fresh his memory.
Before HIM sat an audience OF the
most famous men of the country.
Senators and representatives left
their chambers In the capitol to listen
to the epoch-making decision of the
court. Mosts eager to hear were At.

Standard Oil case.
This was not done, but the decision

In short the court, held that the
technical words Of the statute were
to be given the meaning which those

COTTON EXCHANGE
 MEMBERS EXPELLED

New York, June 1.-The firm of Ed ward Moyse & Co.,, big cotton brok- craze house, was expelled from mem bership in the New York cotton ex- change tonight. following an all-day session of the board of managers and an investigation extending over many months. Alleged violation of GUS toner's order was given as the cause for the expulsion, which was denounced by a member of the firm who declared indictments for perjury and eXtortion probably would be sought.
 M. M Rothschild. member of the Patten syndicate, which formed pool in cotton, preferred the charges ac- cordng to the information given out.
 Rothschild, who came here from Woodville, Miss. five years ago. charged the concern violated orders by selling 5G00 bales of spot cotton in such manner as to bring them into the mar ket when his instructions were to sell only to exporters or spinners.
 By the action of the board Edward and Felix H. Moyse, members of the firm. are barred from the exchange. Hugh F. McElroy, one of the best known members of the exchange, is suspended for year.
 The managers say he was member Of the firm at the time of the alleged .rregularity. McElroy came to New York from New Orleans in 1907; the Moyse brothers came here five years ago from Summit, Miss The firm Is said to have active connections through out the south. The three men tonight gave out a statement declaring that they were innocent of the charges; had never acted as brokers for Rothschild, and were expelled upon erroneous tes- timony.
 "The next step in the matter" the statement says, will probably be the indictment for perjury of two men and an indictment on an extortion charge against one man. This is all we care to say at present"

STATE NORMAL PRESIDENTS
 RESIGN SIMULTANEOUSLY

Montgomery, June 1.-(Special)-1t was
 reported in this city today that the pres idents of the six normal schools of the state had rendered their resignations to the board of trustees of rne normal schools. Inquiry into the matter elIited no other information than to more strong ly confirm the report, though the req son for such action on the part of the normal school presidents could not be learned.
 Whether or not any political signifi- canoe can be attached to the resigna- ton of the heads of the normal schools could not be ascertained, though it is not believed that such Is the case. Fur ther than that they had resigned noth-
 ing could be learned, though 1t was not believed that their action was due to any criticism of the board of trustees, or to any personal reasons.
 The presidents of the normal schools have been called to meet at the capitol on next Wednesday, June ', for the pur- pose of agreeing upon a course of study for these schools. The result of their a agreement will be submitted on the fol- lowing day to the board of trustees of the normal schools, which has also been called together. At the board meeting nal schools will be elected, and arrange lnents made looking to the reorganiza- sion of these institutions.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-02

From all that can be learned the nor
 nal schools have had a successful year,
 and 1t is understood that the faculties of these institutions may be retained, It has been suggested that the resignation of the normal school presidents on the eve of this meeting may have no other significance than to aid the board in the announced policy of reorganization, and this Is the opinion which seems to bs pretty generally held.
 M. c. Wilson is president of the Flor ence school; B. D. Baker, Daphne; G. w. Brock. Livingston: c. w. Daugette, Jack sonville; E. NJ Shackelford, Troy.
 Anniston, June 1.-(Special.)-C. w. Daugette, president of the Alabama Nor mai college at Jacksonville stated In over the long distance tele- phone on his return to Jacksonville to- night that he feels positive that there is no political significance in the simultan- eous resignation of the presidents of all normal colleges.
 MT. Daugette says that the action was taken purely to relieve the new board recently created by sthe legislature to control all normal schools in the state of embarrassment. He says that his term of office was good for two more years, but that he has resigned and would not want to hold office longer if his adminis- tration Is without the approval of the board. He further says that the new board will likely readjust the salaries of the several normal school presidents and effect other changes

 The President has expressed the belier that the democrats are sincere in their support of reciprocity, and that they will vote down amendments that would Kill II. The farmers free list, 1t is said, would alienate republican votes from the agree ment and defeat both. President Taft in- sists that vote to discharge the finance committee from consideration of the free list bill would be just as conclusive way for the democratic senators to record the,nselves in favor of that bill as would be a vote on a free list amendment.
 President Taft has frankly told senators friendly to reciprocity that they snoulo let 1t be known that amendments to the reciprocity bill can be supported only by persons not really in favor of reciprocity.
