Washington, Oct. 14.-FOIlow-
 ng are exerpts from Justice Har-
 lan's famous dissenting opinion:
 The court has read into the
 Sherman Act words which are not
 done that which is adjudged in
 1S96 and 1898 could not be done
 without violating the constitution.
 'sThe courts have nothing to do
 with the wisdom or policy of an
 act of Congress
 'To oyerreach the action of Con-
 gress, merely by judicial cOnstruc-
 ton, is a blow at the integrity Of
 our govcrnmental system.
 sThe court has usurped consti-
 tutional functions of the legislative
 branches of the government
 Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, Oct. 14-John Marshall Harlan, the grand old man of the Judiciary" for 34 years an associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. died aged 7s in a peace ful sleep at s:15, this morning, com- paratively a very poor man in the matter of money. but multi-million- aire in honor and esteem.
 Only the famous chief justice, John Marshall, for whom Harlan was nam- ed, served longer on the highest bench than he and if Harlan had lived until next spring he would have gained his highest remaining ambition by attain ing the greatest record for continuous , service.
 rrs- ~-~oxo.x o-.h,+Sor xx,os |. r., chief justice of the United States. He served temporarily in that capacity following the death of Chief Justice Fuller. July 4, 1910, until President Taft elevated Edward Douglas White, Harlan's junior, to the highest seat in the judiciary.
 Though Harlan's marvellous hardi- hood forbade him from showing the slightest sign of his isappoiRtment, his friends knew that from the day of the announcement of Whites ap- pointment the aged juror declined. Then, for the first time, came signs of weakening in the massive frame of the great Kentuckian. He held him. self well in hand, however, throughout last winter, and won his greatest fame through his dissenting opinions in the Standard oil and Tobacco Trust cases. in which he bitterly arraigned the re- mainder of the court for "usurping the power of the legislative branch of gov ernment."
 Harlan lived the simple life. He loved nature and spent much time out of doors. Of late years, he played golf enthusiastically. He stood feet ? inches in his stocking feet and in his prime weighed 300 pounds. He stood erect and was a figure of dis tinction in any crowd.
 Last spring, he went to Murray Bay, Canada. for his vacation. He found that his usual strength was not in evidence. He gradually seemed to weaken but there was no sign of dis ease. It was simply the breaking down of the splendid system-the wear and tear of the 7S years of active life.

ARMY AV|ATORS
| ARE ALL GOING TO
| BIG GOTHAM MEET
Fastest Machines Made To
Be Furnished Beck And
His Companions.

The entire stan of officers at the
aviation school will be present in New
Sork at the opening of the great avia-
don meet Saturday, September %.
Capt. Paul w. Beck, Lieuts. II. H.
Arnold and T Dewitt Milling will par
tiCipate in the flights, while Capt.
Charles DeForest Chandler and Lieuts
leIloy Kirkland and Frank Kennedy
will attend as observers. Captain
chandler and Lieutenan Kennedy will
spend two days each in New York, and
Lieutenant Kirkland will be there for
the entire meet.
Messages were received last evening by
Captain Beck and Lieutenants Arnold
and Milling from the Curtiss and the
Burgess-Wright companies that they will
be furnished with the best machines the
companies have, and that the machines
will be shipped to New York next Tues
day.
Captain Beck will participate in the
speed contest for biplanes, competing
with Lincoln Beachey, Tom Baldwin,
Lee Hammond, and other noted flyers.
However, he feels confident he will win,
for the Curtiss company is going to
give him one of the fastest machines in
the shops.
The Curtiss and Burgess Wright COM
panies are happy over the announce
Hlent that the Government aviators are
going to compete in the New York
meet, for successes in their machines
means that the Government will give
them the pre- ference in the purchase Of
new biplenes for the aviation school
The Washington times., 1911-09-14

Last evening at College Park the avia-
tors found the atmosphere entirely toe
cold to fly we'll. Flights were made
by Captain Beck and Lieutenants Mill
ing and Arnold, and on each occasion
their hands were SO cold they could
hardly move them.
The immediate country surrounding
Washington seems to be subjected 10
somewhat severe winters, and the avi-
ators will welcome any announcement
General Allen will make about going
South for the winter.
So far as can be learned now the four
machines belonging to the Government
will be taken on the trip. The entire
staff of officers and enlisted men will
be sent along.
1t is just probable that the officers
will make a cross country flight from
College Park, all the way to where the
winter headquarters are to be establish
ed. The idea has been suggested and
the officers are willing, provided the
Signal Corps grants them permission.
They can fly the machines all the way
South at less cost to the Government
than shipping them there and then have
the trouble of reassembling them. At
least the idea will be suggested to Gen.
eral Allen when the time comes for the
school to be moved.

Lieut.. Milling Likes
The Gnome Motor, and
Hopes to Get One Soon

Lieut.. T. Dewitt Milling is high in
his praises of me Gnome motor for
aeroplanes.
Il like the motor very much, and
would like to see them installed on
our machines out here" Lieutenant
Milling said. There are seven cylinders,
and If cleaned and kept in splendid
condition all the time, they will give
the finest Of service. But the Hende
people are putting out an engine similar
to the Gnome, which / like better"
Lieutenant Milling will make a re-
port to the Signal Corps when General
Allen returns from his vacation. It is
probable that a Gnome motor will be
bought for trial purposes.
1t is an admitted fact in the aviation
world that a good motor will almost
make a barn door fly, The Govern
ment realizes this fact, and is anxious
to give the flyers the best possible aero
plSnes. The Wright and Curtiss motors
are giving entire satisfaction, and the
intended purchase of the Gnome Is not
meant as a change, but will simply be
an experiment
