R. R. MERCER
WAS LEGAL
Government Loses Its First Suit
Under Sherman Law.
THE HARTMAN ROAD WINS
Court Finds That the Two Roads
Were Not Substantial Competitors
Before Hartman Joined Them
Investment in Santa Fe 0. x.

st. Louis.-The merger Of the
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
railroads was adjudged legal in an
opinion handed down by the United
States Circuit court OF the Eighth
district. The suit of the government
against the Hartman roads is dis
missed Judge Adams wrote the ma
jority opinion. Judge Hook filed u
dissenting opinion in which he ex-
presses his belief that the Govern
ment petition was well founded and
should have been granted. The IN
vestment in Santa is also declared
legal.
The suit wae founded upon the
antitrust law of Congress. TO dissolve
an alleged contract, combination or
conspiracy in restraint and monopoly
Of interstate and foreign trade be
tween the Union Pacific and other
lines. 1t was charged that the Union
Pacific company acting by itself or
through a subsidiary corporation own
ed by it, acquired controlling inter
est in the capital stock OF the South
ern Pacific for the purpose Of direct
ing its operations and supervising
competition. The prayer was that
the defendants, who purchased the
stocks, be enjoined from voting or
otherwise acting as owners OF them.
The essential facts are given at
length in the decision. 1t is conclud-
ed that the facts OF the case do not
make the Union Pacific a substantial
competitor for trans-continental busi-
ness with the Southern Pacific in or
prior to 1901.
Judge Hook. in his dissenting opln-
ion, agrees with the court upon the
minor features of the case, but
says that the Governments petition
was well founded
This suit is the first one the Gov
ernment has lost since it began put
ting the Sherman antitrust law into
action.

NEW FORCES IN
CONTROL OF SENATE
Democrats and Progressives to Die
tate egisIation-Tarlff ReVl-
sion Probable.

Washington.-An extraordinary situ-
alton has suddenly developed in the
Senate.
BY a vote of 80 to 1S, the upper
chamber referred the House Wool
Tariff Revision bill to the Finance
committee with orders to report back
not later than July 10.
Such an instruction is most unusual.
This imperative direction-a thun-
derclap TO the Old Guard standpatters
was obtained by an open coalition of
the Republican insurgents with the
Democrats. The aggressive combina-
ton thus formed demands a general
downward revision of the tariff. The
Finance committees control OF the
Senate is in peril.
The motion instructing the Finance
committee was made by Senator Gore
of Oklahoma. One Democrat, Mr. Mey-
crs OF Montana, voted against the mo-
ton to instruct. The sixteen Republi-
cans who voted with the Democrats
were: Senator'S Borah. Bourne, Bris-
tow, Brown, Clapp, Crawford, Cum
La Toilette, Nelson, PoindeXter, Town
send and Works. OF these, Senators
Jones, Nelson and Townsend have
been rated as regulars.
While the strength shown by the
contending factions in the vote taken
today was 80 to is. it is known that in
the entire membership of the Senate
the strength of the coalition is sc, or
10 in excess Of controlling majority,
1t comprises 40 Democrats and l3 pro-
gressive and regular Republicans,
The opposing standpat faction is rep
resented by 34 regular Republicans
and one Democrat, Mr.. Meyers CT Mon
tana. who dissents from his associates
on the wool schedule.
The majority opinion is that the
reciprocity pact Will be surely passed,
as we'll as the farmers's free list and
any other measures of the kind the
House may elect to send to the Sen

Rest for Tuberculosis Patients.

DR.. Joseph II. Pratt of Boston, who
was the founder of the first tuberculo-
sis class in the United States in the
Emmanuel church in Boston claims
that in the treatment Of tuberculosis
absolute rest, often in bed, must be
extended over a period Of months, be-
fore the consumptive should take any
exercise. He says: Prolonged rest
in bed out of doors yields better re-
suits than any other method Of treat
ing pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients
will have a better appetite, and take
more food without discomfort and gain
weight and strength faster than pa
tients with active disease who are
allowed TO exercise. Complications
are much less frequent. When used
in the incipient stage recovery is
more rapid and surer."

only the Nova Scotians that We call
so. And it's not because the people,
there have blue noses. either.
Il have met people here who really
thought that folks down east were SO
called because their noses were al
ways blue on account OF the cold, raw
climate they suppose prevails there.
The fact is, the term 'bluenoses'
was first given 10 the inhabitants OF
the CORVALLIS valley, who were the
original raisers of a potato called the
'bluenose, from its blush skin. This
potato was shipped to the states IN
large quantities, and the name Of the
potato became the name of the peo-
pie who raised IT,"

CHIMES ECHO IN WALL STREET
Coronation Ceremony at Old Trinity
Attracts a Throng.

New York.-British subjects in New
York and nearby towns, as we'll as
Americans who believe in promoting
the sentiment of hands across the
sea-" joined in celebrating the coro-
nation of King George V. One might
almost have thought New York Brit
ish town once more, even as it was
12S years ago TO Judge from the mani
festations of enthusiasm evident in
certain quarters.
On both sides of the East and North
rivers, and in the anchorages in the
harbor, and at the piers of South
Brooklyn, every British ship-and
many that were not at all British
flew the Union Jack side by side with
the Stars and Stripes in its rigging.
Loyal Britishers were particularly
anxious to know at just what time
they should stand up and drink toast
TO the new sovereign, and for their
benefit it was figured that 7.37 o'clock
in the morning would correspond with
the exact time when the crown was
being placed upon the Kings head in
Westminster Abbey, London.
Trinity church was packed 20 the
doors at the special service of thanks
giving for the coronation Of King
George V. Large numbers of clergy
men, including two bishops, with AGO.
lytes, crucfers, the mace-bearer of the
parish. and a considerable choir, help
ed to make the scene imposing. The
whole financial district resounded
with God Save the King" from the
church's chimes, before the cere-
monies began.
\ manifestation Of distaste for
American observance Of England s
holiday was reported from Newark, y.
j.. where the Mayor decided that it
would not be advisable 10 allow the
principals of two of the public schools
TO fly British flags. He was moved to
this act by a number of protests from
citizens who did not think il fttiEg
that public buildings should be under
foreign banners.

Fish meal is an article now figuring
dn the imports OF the United States.
1t is used as fertilizer and also as
feed for swine and cattle. 1t is made
in Norway, England and Scotland
from the residue of herring, codlings
and other fish, cooked, dried and
ground. Consul Skinner, writing from
Hamburg, says, Swine are said to
consume fish meal eagerly, and its use
for this purpose is increasing in Ger
many from year to year. 1t must be
fed with care, however, as an exces-
sive ration is likely TO affect the quail
dty of the pork. Fed in moderate
quantities it contributes to the gen
eral health of the animal without dis
advantageous consequences of any
sort"
