In a signed statement to The Herald,
Oscar Braniff one Of the peace com

he had offered money to Gen Orozco

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
IF ever a more unwarranted and IN
justified attack has been made on an
Individual il is the public charge that
Mr. EsQuivel Obregon endeayoreo rc
bride Gen. Orozco. -.
THE calumny is the more to be criti-
cized since it ATTACKS and hits below
the belt a man who, to all who know
him and have followed his private and
public career, personifies the highest
intellectual. moral and civic qualities;
and this attack, coming precisely when
ne has demonstrated-I hope beyond
a doubt-through his strenuous efforts
of the last month and through concise
and energetic actions aud statements
both to Mr. Madero and his followers
and TO the Mexican government which
he has fought for the last eight years.
that although positively independent
Of obligations toward either faction,
upon a basis that insured to the revo-
Iutionists the UNFOLDING of their prin-
ciplesAwhich were in fact principles
of the whole Mexican people.

vouch for this; that Mr.. Esduivel

because such forced retirement would
lose TO US the opportunity Of estab-
fishing in the country right away two
strong militant opposition parties
whose reciprocal vigilance would in

istration; although, as l say, Mr.. Obre-
gon stood out for the conservation Of
Gen. Diaz as a figurehead and as a

until the present effervescence has set

tions were held in the different states,
he continuously insisted on and warneo
Mr. Madero and his followers of the
necessity of by all means making quite
sure that the peace pact and its car
rying out should guarantee the prin-
ciples involved, and their prompt and
efficient action
Mr. Obregon started most ener-
getic opposition campaign just eight
years ago. long before anyone else
dared speak out. and 1 have the i'm
preston that I warded off from his
head many a deadly blow aimed at
him, principally by the governor of his
state the state of Guanajuato. who
feared and wanted to get rid Of him
by all means. His public expressions
and editorials have always been re-
markaole for their clear and logical in
cisiveness and the civil courage dis
played. and not many months ago he
endeavored to publish a book along the
same lines. which would probably have
forced his expatriatiOn. but which was
not printed because the publishers did
not dare, and was influenced to hold
the manuscript Indefinitely.
Mr.. Obregon had an income from
his profession several years ago Of

what he has, supto today, done for
his country, and only hope both for my
country's and his sake, that he will not
spoil his splendid work by forcing the
matter any further. -
However,, the issues are SO well de-
fined before him today that + do not
doubt but that he wifi yet crown his
work with prompt peace pact, both
dignified and effective.
II wish also to extend nay thanks and
personal esteem to many other civil
and military followers for whose cour-
tesies and confidence we are deeply
indebted.

Opinion is Read by Chief
Justice White and is
Voluminous.

Was hingtOn, ID. c. May 15.-The SUI
preme court today affirmed the stand
ard OH decree, giving the government
the victory. The decision was read By
chief Justice White and is very vOEu-
minOus. ~By z reorganization OF the
Standard OH company of New jersey
the chief justic said, ..fhere is prima
facle evidence that there WIS an en-
deavGr to control and moaOpolize; that
further investigation made this cen
elusive presumption of an intention to
EestrHfR trade, said that the ques-
ton OF remedy remained for cOnsid-
GRAFTON.
The suit which called forth today's
decision was instituted in 1906 in the
United States circuit court for the
eastern district Of Missouri. It was
brought IN the name of the United
States The immediate object was to
dissolve the Standard Oil company Of
New Jersey.
Put sherman Law TO Test.
From the very beginning, the. busi-
ness and the legal worlds recognized
that the suit put the Sherman anti
trust law TO the most severe test to
which II had been subjected. The law
had been on the statute book since
1851 ana ndO De6n the OASIS OF some
IS suits finally passed upon by the
supreme court of the United States.
That the law was constitutional was
accepted as settled by these decisions.
but simple as the words of the statute
seemed. there was an absence of unan-
unity in regard to its Interpretation.
With that situation confronting the
government and the defendants, the
suit was begun with the general be-
lief that the entire business world
would feel the effect of the outcome of
the gigantic struggle.
The Governments Claims.
The government claimed that two
sections of the Sherman antitrust law
had been violated. The, first section
reads as fo11pws:
Every. contact, combination in the
form of trust or otherwise, or con-
spiracy. in restraint of trade or con-
merce among the several states, or
with foreign nations, is hereby de-
clared to be Illegal
The second section reads
Every persons (Which subsequently
was explained in the statute to Include
corpOrations) who shall monopolize or
attempt to monopolize or combine or
conspire with any other person or per-
sons, TO mOnopolize, any part Of trade
Or commerce among the several states,
or with foreign nations, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanOr."

Owing to the fact that the mayor
has not yet issued his call for a
meeting this evening, it is impos-
sible to state definitely as to whether
the council will meet or not.
The situation remains about the
same with the exception that the Fit
ger Brewing company has granted
leases, which comply in every respect
with the new city ordinance. -Four
saloons are controlled by the Fitger
company, three of these are in one
building and are occupied by AL Par

this building Is owned by the Fitger
company. The fourth saloon 1s IN
the Lennox buitding, the lease of
which expires next April.
One Of the aldermen stated this
morning. that even If the cocker" por-
ton of the ordinance was illegal, the
council would not have to grant IL
censes unless they saw fit. The
council Is in absolute control of the
license question and it is entirely up
to them as to who will and who will
not be granted licenses.
The forty-eight hour respite given
the saloonkeepers to get the leases
from the brewers will end at S o'clock
this afternoon and how many of the
places Of business will open after
that time is unknown. The business
men of the city are awaiting the &C.
ton Of the council, who will in all
probability hold a meeting this even
ing to settle the question.
City Clerk German, when asked
about the probability of a meeting
this evening stated that it was mere
ly a rumor and that the mayor had
not yet issued ascal1 for meeting,
but that he understood that some
kind of action would be taken in the
matter today.
