SENATOR CUMMINS HAS
ANTITRUST PLATFORM

Associated Press.
Washington, Feb. 26.-The trust
platform of Senator Cummns of
Iowa, a candidate for the republican
nomination for president, as embod-
led in a bill which Mr.. Cummins in
troduoed today, is designed to
strengthen the antitrust powers OF
the government. The measure would
provide what is claimed by a first
authority to limit the size of corpora
tons and guard against unfair or
ruinous competition through pro-
tracted underselling. 1t would put
into being a trade commission into
which the present bureau of corpor-
atoms would be merged with all its
present powers. The law would ap-
ply to corporations capitalized at $5,-
600, 900 or more, but not to inter-
state commerce common carriers.

There is a strong possibility that
the extremely important and very
interesting decision handed down by
Judge Sprigg Shackleford in the dis
trict court few days ago, and de-
tailed exclusively by The Sentinel,
will be carried to the Supreme court
OF the United States. 1t is beyond a
doubt one of the most important de-
cisions effecting the reclamation SER
vice and the rights of the federal
government to enter upon private
lands handed down in years. One of
the fundamental principles of law is
involved.
AS stated by The Sentinel Satur-
day the decision is attracting nation
al attention.
Owing to the vast. amount of gov
eminent land in this county the de-
cision is of the very keenest local in
terest.
The Sentinel asked the court for
the full text of this important decis-
ion and -has secured the same. 1t
should be carefully read by every
citizen. 1t follows:

MEASURES DOOR or FLOWERS
Balance Invented by italian Physicist
Shows Weight Of the Per-
fune Emitted.

The amount Of odor given of by
flowers, essential oils and other sub
stances has long been a matter Of
wonder, which has found expression
in the statement that a grain Of
musk may perfume an apartment for
years without appreciable loss.
But Signor Salvioni, an Italian
physicist, has now made the loss
measurable He has devised a bal
ance sensitive enough to weigh even
odors, and said to depend for its
chief part upon a very fine thread Of
glass fixed at one end and extending
horizontally.
The substance to be weighed is
placed on the free end. This causes
DETECTION, and the amount is
measured by micrometer, having a
powerful magnifying glass for max
ing its readings, great care being
taken to avoid errors from such
causes as temperature variations and
air currents.
1t is claimed that, with proper adj
justment, variation in weight as
small as the thousandth Of a milli-
gram-or one fifteen-thousandth of
grain-can be accurately determined.
