CYCLONE OHNNY"sEEKs FIGHT
Particularly Emphatic With Chal-
lenge for Sam Langford.

"Clyclone Johnny" Thompson, the
Sycamore middle-weight, will cave
next Monday for Los Angeles, in
tent on matching himself with num-
erous big fellows along the road and
with a particularly emphatic chal-
lenge for Sam Langford, to be de-
hvered la observatory car platform
along the way.
Thompson says that he is really
anxious to meet Langford-not in a
ten round bout, however. In his
challenge he insists on twenty
round bout, how sin" orshc ola
round encounter or a finish fight,
preferably the latter, with the
weight at 165 pounds ringside. '+
The globe trotting middle-weight
will stop at Kansas City to talk over
the possibilities of match with the
colored boxer with Cass Welsh. If
the match can be made Thompson is
willing to put up big side bet that
he can whip Langford in either
twenty-round go or a finish fight.
Jonny is through with ten-round
bouts. He realizes that his claim to
the middle-weight title can only be
strengthened or clinched over the
long route. His battle with Hugo
Kelly, the local Italian, made that
clear. Thompson is anxious, how
ever, to meet Kelly at any distance
over ten rounds. He figures that he
can take all the punishment that the
Italian is able to mete out after ten
or fifteen rounds have him so tired
that he will be at his mercy.

Future Policy Of Dealing With Trusts
81 Discussed.
Washington, May 1.-THE govern:

and combinations Of capital, as it
must be shaped In the light OF the
supreme courts decision In the Stand.
ard OH case, was discussed by Pres.
ident Taft and his cabinet.
UAdodbtedly the action of the court

merce, opens new field of litigation
in the governments war upon monopo.
lies, and the future policy of this and
other administrations may hang much
upon that point.
President Taft has declined to ex.
press any opinion until he could 60
over the courts finding with Attorney
General Wickersham.
There was q great rush at the
clerks office OF the supreme court for
copies Of the famous opinion.
Although the full opinion of the
court totaled more than 10000 words.
Chief Justice White, to the surprise
of all, announced at least halt Of it
without, apparently, glancing at the
notes hich law before him. Evidently
tho chief justice had the opinion so
we'll arranged in his mind that he
spoke it without helps.
Standard 4 bad" Trust.
In ending q struggle of years on the
part of the government to put down
combination which was claimed to
be- menace & to the industrial and
economic advancement. of the entire
country, the court declared that the
Standard: Oil company of New Jer.
,sey and its nineteen subsidiary com.
panies were a conspiracy and combi-
nation in unreasonable" restraint of
trade under the Sherman law, and or.
sdered the dissolution sdt the combina.
ton within six months.
At the same time. the court did not
condemn all great interstate corpora
tons and did not hold that every"
restraint of trade was violation Of
law. The decision plainly left the in
ference that each corporation whose
acts may be called into question must
be judged upon the merits Of its par
ticular case.
In other words, the court seems to
have upheld the doctrine that there
are good" and bad" trusts. The
Standard OH was a bad trust. The
fate Of the 80 called tobacco. trust is
hanging in the balance. Whether It
is "good" or bad. trust probably
will he decided on May %. the last de.
cision day of the present term OF

Chicago, May l7.-In La Sale street
and everywhere In Chicago where

supreme court which dissolved the
Standard Oil company of .Jew Jersey,
the greatest combination of business
interests that has ever been known
That the combination must be re-

and all stocks and assets returned to

and hear themselves praised before the entire
congregation by the aforesaid stiffnecked preach
er. They tell the people that it is God money
and they must hand it in, and if they don't do it,
God will send some great calamity them and
take it any how. If God requires us to contribute
money to help those fellows over in the foreign
countries, God is doing business a long way from
home. | was at a meeting last spring, and at the
close of the meeting the usual appeal for money
was made by the local preacher, but no money
showed up result; so the travelling evange-
list saw something must be done and he made an
appeal: in his talk he told the people they had
the money and it belonged to God, and if they
did not contribute it God would send the Boil
WeeV1ls thicker than ever, that he going to
have His money. This little game worked WOnd-

this dope is good for another scare in this part
