which is to convene in January.
1t also seems certain that the legis.
lature will adopt bill in behalf OF
putting convict labor to work on public
highways and grinding lime so that
the farmers may buy it at minimum
cost.
These indications are CLEANED from
replies to letters sent ont by The News
Leader in order to get expressions as
to the attitude OF the legislators IN re-
gard to statewide prohibition and the
convict labor system.
The News Leaders, canvass OF the
vote, while yet incomplete, because a
number of members have failed tc sub
NIT their views and tell how they will
vote shows that several OF the most
prominent legislators are working for
statewide prohibition and abolishing
the present colvict labor system.
Among those who are for state
wide prohibition and chance in the

Byrd, speaker Of the house OF
delegates; Senator Charles U. Gravatt,
OF Caroline county; DR.. H. U. Stephen.

The apparent lead for statewide pro.

sicians today ascribed the hemorrage
of the brain which yesterday killed
Arthur P. Griffith. the famous lightn-

arithmetrical gymnastic work to
which he had so long subjected his
brain.
Griffith. a farmers son, was dis
covered in Elkhart, Ind, by Chi
cago newspaper man, and became a
psychological wonder. Almost as
soon as the most complex arithmet-
ical problem was put to him, he could

ticians in the world tried to trap him
but failed.

DECISION DISAPPOINTING
DECLARES WILLIAM j.. BRYAN

TORONTO. Ont. May 16-"The de.
cision is disappointing. said William
Jennings Bryan today, referring tc
the Supreme Courts Standard oil de-
cision.
AT first appearance It would look
as if the Government has won vic
tory. but as a matter Of fact the de-
cision will bring great JOY to the
trusts because it reads into the law
a word which to a large extent nulli-
fies the antitrust law
The trusts have been trying for
years to secure an amendment to the
antitrust law which would limit the
law to unreasonable restraint Of
trade.
The dissenting opinion of Justice
Harlan points out very forcibly the
far-reaching effect of this decision. 1t
will now be necessary to secure an
amendment to the antitrust law TO
make it worth anything"

DISSENTING OPINION.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The old
est member of the Supreme Court of
the United States, both in years and
in point of service, John Marshal Har-
Ian, of Kentucky. stands in a class
by himself today as the most pro-
pressive member of Americas high
est judicial tribunal He will be rs
years old June !, and has served as
associate justice of the Supreme
Court for thirty-three years.
With vigor most extraordinary for
a man of his age Justice Harlan took
his stand in opposition to the other
eight members of the court, and con-
tended that no concessions should be
allowed monopolies; that the deci-
sion in the lower court in the case OF
the Standard Oil Company should be
affirmed without amendment
Judge Harlan denounced with irony
and in bitter terms the action of the
chief justice and the other associate
justices in declaring that restraint
of trade" must be unreasonable" TO
come within the meaning Of the anti
trust law. He declared that the court
was legislating, not interpreting the
law
