Declared Invalid by
Supreme Court.
ORDERED TO DISSOLVE
Ruling FOrbids Union Pacific VOt.
Ing Southern Pacific Stock.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The supreme
court, in an opinion announced by AS
sociate Justice William r. Day, held
that the Union Pacific Railroad com
pany, by the acquisition of as pei
cent of the stock in the Southern Pa
cific company, had effected a combi
nation in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Justice Day, reading the opinion, In
dicated that the court would enter q
decree to dissolve the combination
and also an injunction to prevent the
Union Pacific from voting Southern
Pacific stock. In announcing the opin.
ION Justice Day said in part:
This court reaches the decision
that the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific systems prior to the stock pur
chase were competitors engaged in in
terstate commerce, acting independent
ly as to a large amount of such carry
ing trade, and that since the acquisi
mating power of the Union Pacific
has suppressed competition between
the systems and has effected a com.
bination in restraint of interstate com.
merce within the prohibitions of the
act.
"In order to enforce the statute the
court is required to forbid the doing
In the future acts like those which are
found to have been done In violation
thereof, and to enter a decree which
will effectually dissolve the combina.
ton found to exist in violation of the
statute.
Injunction Provided For.
"The decree should provide an in.
junction against the right to vote this
stock while in the ownership or con-
troll of the Union Pacific company, or
any corporation owned by 1t, or while
held by any corporation or person for
the Union Pacific company, and forbid
any transfer or disposition thereof in
such wise as to continue its control
and should provide an injunction
against the payment of dividends upon
such stocks while thus held, except to
receiver to be appointed by the
court, which shall collect and hold
such dividends until disposed OF by
the decree of the court.
"As the court below dismissed the
governments bill it was unnecessary
there to consider the disposition OF
the shares of stock acquired by the
Union Pacific company, which acquisi.
tion, we hold, constituted an unlawful
combination in violation of the anti.
trust act In order to effectually con.
clude the operating force OF the com.
bination, such disposition should be
made subject to the approval and de-
cree OF the court, and any plan for
the disposition of this stock must be
such as to effectually dissolve the un.
lawful combination thus created"

Berlin, Dec. 3.--Imperial Chancellor
Bethmann-Hollweg uttered a warning
TO Russia that in case hostilities
should arise out of the Austro-S Servian
difficulties Germany would draw her
sword to assist her allies.
The imperial chancellor made this
declaration in the conrse of a speech
in the reichstag discussing the Balkan
situation. He said:
when our allies, Austria Hungary
and Italy, in maintaining their inter
ests, are attacked-although this is
not the present prospect-by third
party and thereby threatened in their
existence-then we, faithful to our
compact, will take their part firmly
and decisively.
Then we shall fight side by side
with our allies for the maintenance of
our own position In Europe and in de.
fense of the security and future of our
own fatherland.
II am convinced that we have the
whole nation behind US In such a
policy"

 Ballet Counters Interested.
 The men in various Windham county towns who counted the ballots cast for representative in congress at the No vember election in 1910. followed with interest the despatches from Wash ington in Fridays papers. having to do with the Higgins -Jodoin recount AL that time, nearly two years ago, there was less certainty than there is at the present time, as to the effect of cer- tain ways of marking ballot. The interest, therefore. in the recount at Washington is special among the ceun- ters, for they are anxious to see just how their decisions as to certain dis p1ted ballots are to stand.

still the opinion prevails that he can not legally do the work while he is aa alderman as prohibition Is specified in the book that contains the printed charter and ordinances of the city. The question has been raised in public print and the aldermen very properly took cognizance the question and at the suggestion of the chairman of the committee on city hall the matter was referred to the corporation counsel for decision. The local law on this point is too plain to be misleading and it is evident that. the fact has already been recognized.
 Fortunately the contractor alderman has son in the same line of business and they work in harmony with each other. If the disqualification of the father is by reason of his being a member of the court of common coun- cil the disqualification of the father does not fall upon the son. So in order that the work could go on uninterrupt- edly the son has taken charge of the work and is progressing with all pos sible rapidity. If that little section which specifics that all city business that requires expenditure of $3,000 or over shall be given out by contract af.er being properly advertised, still remains on the city book of statutes, o-called, that might be another stumbling block. But the committee puts a different phase on that feature by making declaration that this pre- liminary building work is being done by the day under the direction of the committee and that the contractor Is simply hired to supervise the work. As a rule more than one road leads to a public square deal.

But the most important result of the merging or whatever else 1t may be. the people of Groton Heights will get better postal service, as they will be served by let ter carriers direct from the New Lon don post office.

 The association appointed a com mittee to reform the Ire department not the personnel, but the working system. That was a tender subject the committee struck a snag, and then declared that thero wea no intent to disrupt the department in any way. although iIladnuations to that effect were cast at the oommitteeman. As sn earnest presentation of what was to be undertaken tho association has in- vited an expert to come Co New Lon don and give general talk on fire de- pertinent work. insurance rates and other matters kindred to an efficient fire department It Is understood that the talk will be free to the public and that special invitation will be given the members of the department to hear the taiher. with the privilege of ask ing questions on any of the topics up- on which the speaker win touch dur ing his address.
