RULING MADE
AGAINST BIG
ROAD MERGER
National News Association


WASHINGTON. Dec. 2.-The SUI
preme court of the United States to-
day ordered the partial dissolution
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific merger, holding that it consti-
tutes a combination in restraint of
trade Justice Day, who delivered the
opinion said, "the court reaches the
conclusion that the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific systems, prior to the
stock purchases, were competitors in
interstate commerce acting independ-
emily as to large amount of such car
rying trade, and that after the acQuisi-
ton of the stock in question the
dominating power of the Union Pa
cific has suppressed competition be-
tween the two systems, and has affect
ed a combination in restraint of in
terstate commerce within the prohibi-
ton of the act.
I'm order to enforce the statutes the
court is required to forbid the doing in
the future of acts like those which are
found to have been done in violation
thereof, and to enter a decree which
will effectually dissolve the combine
found to exist in violation Of the
statutes The decree should provide
an injunction against the right to vote
this stock while in the ownership or
control of the Union Pacific company,
or any corporation owned by it, or
while held by corporation or per-
sons for the Union Pacific company,
and forbid any transfer or disposition
thereof in such wise as to conceal it's
control, and should provide an in
junction against the payment of dlvi-
dends on such stocks while thus held,
except to a receiver to be appointed
by the court who shall secure and hold
such dividends until disposed of by a
decree of the court.
| LAS the court below dismissed the
governments bill it was unnecessary
, to consider the disposition of the
shares of stock acquired by the Union
Pacific, which acquisition we hold con
stituted an unlawful combination in
violation of the antitrust act. In or
der to effectually conclude the operat
ing force of the combine such DISPOSE
! ton should be made subject to the
J
any plans for the disposition of this
stock must be such as to effectually
dissolve the unlawful combine thus
created"
The following statement was ISSUED
by Attorney General Wickersham or
the U. P. merger decision:
The courts decision practically sep
arates the ownership of the Southern
| Pacific from the Union Pacific, witt
the possible exception of the exten
sion from Ogden, Utah, to San Fran
cisco, as to which there is sugges
, ton for an argument. The decision i:

don't KNOW HIM
Ohio Authorities Say They
Did Not Know Brown.

Having received no information con-
corning the identity of the man con-
fined at the county Jail and who gave
the names of Frank Brown and Frank
Carey, Sheriff Steen allowed the man
his freedom today. Brown said that
he was going to some town in Ohio
where he had been offered a position
The man was arrested several weeks
ago on complaint of farmers north Of
the city. Brown was charged with
having threatened to kill Jesse Brown,
by whom he was employed as a farm
hand. Brown, it is alleged, drew a
razor On the latter, saying that he
would cut his throat if the farmer
made one move. Carey or Brown was
arrested and brought to this city.
The sheriff sent letters giving a de-
scription of the man to the Ohio state
penitentiary but received an answer
saying that Brown was not known
there.

MANY CASES HEARD
Judge Fox Believes He Will
Clear Docket Next Term.

More cases have been settled and
heard during the October term of the
Wayne circuit court than during any
other term for sine time" declared
Judge Fox this morning "A number
of cases which have stood on the dock
ct for years have been either agreed
upon or dismissed, and by the first of
the April term the docket will be
cleared, I believe. The January term
opens on the first Monday in the year.
All trials have been short"
Judge Fox asserted that more work
